Confused by the new robots...

[lotb2002]

Is it only me, or are the names of Trundle and Hulk mixed up in the demo ?
The old Trundle is the only one with caterpillar track, and looks like a tank.

So, when I scan the new bots, the only one fitting that description is the tank, which is named Trundle !

How come ?

Not only that, but Squash bot has been changed as well.

Trundle became Hulk X90
Hulk X90 became Squash
Squash became Trundle Bot

Not sure why.

Yea, its odd... would be interested to se why they changed it...

Yeah.... I find this "Bot name shifting" very very bad !

I was used to know my Bots by name ;) !

But now there is confusion.


Hmmm.... maybe that simply was a mistake by Avalon Hill ?

I wished, that the correct that error !

I doubt it will be fixed. After all, the robots are functionally identical. It really doesn't matter (in game terms) what you call a robot or what it looks like. I just don't see it as being justification for reprinting the control panels.

And except for twonky and twitch (which resemble what they used to look like), the robots look radically different from the old game anyway.
