[b]Somewhere near a cubicle at Bungie.[/b]
[b]DeeJ: [/b]“Guys I’m getting eaten alive on the forums! Everyone seems really upset that there’s actually no new content, and it’s all just rehashed stuff they already bought”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “Not to worry DeeJ, we’ve been working on something special”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “Really! What’s that?”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “A completely new character unlike anything you’ve ever seen! It’ll completely knock your socks off”
[b]
DeeJ: [/b]“I can’t wait to see it”
[b]
Dev1: [/b]“Well, what do you think?”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “….”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “I know it’s so amazing, I felt speechless too when I first finished it”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “Is this some kind of a Joke?”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “What do you mean?”
[b]DeeJ: [/b]“That’s clearly “Robby the Robot” from the movie Forbidden planet.”
[b]
Dev1:[/b] “No it’s not”
[b]
DeeJ:[/b] “YES IT IS!”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “How so?”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “Just look at him, you have the bubble legs and all… I’ll google it on my phone for you”
[b]Dev1[/b]: “Ptfff it’s completely different”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “Please explain exactly how this is any different?”
[b]Dev1: [/b]“Well for one…The visor on the original is made of just regular glass and on ours it’s clearly plexiglass”
[b]DeeJ: [/b]“That’s not a difference”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “What are you talking about, it’s a galactic difference!”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “…I’m telling you there’s no difference”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “You should be using that phone to google up plexiglass, cause you obviously don’t know what it is”
[b]DeeJ: [/b]“…Lets go ask Luke Smith about it”
[b]*3 mins later*[/b]
[b]
DeeJ:[/b] “Well Luke what do you think?”
[b]Luke: [/b]“It’s completely different”
[b]DeeJ: [/b]“WHAT?”
[b]Luke: [/b]“Well this one clearly has plexiglass, and his names “Robert” not “Robby”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] Look, the dimensions and everything are the same. You even have him saying his catch phrase from the movie “Sorry, miss. I was giving myself an oil-job.”
[b]
Dev1:[/b] "HA! giving myself an oil-job.”
[b]Luke:[/b] “Yeah…I’m not seeing what you’re trying say here DeeJ”
[b]DeeJ: [/b]“Ugh I guess we’ll have to ask the Boss about it”
[b]*5 mins later* [/b]
[b]CEO:[/b] “I have to agree with these guys it’s light years different, the plexiglass is a tiny bit less clear. But that’s not the problem”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “Really…what’s the problem?”
[b]CEO:[/b] “It looks too retro which is sort of more Bethesda’s thing and we don’t own them…yet”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “Wait so what’s going to happen to Robert? And his strike mission “The mysterious journey to Id”
[b]CEO:[/b] “Shelve him for now”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “But I worked for 8 months on this project!”
[b]CEO: [/b]“Well now you can go back to something important like soul crushingly nerfing all of TTK’s new guns”
[b]Dev:[/b] “*sniff* sniff* Robert I’ll miss you”
[b]DeeJ:[/b] “Trust me when I say it’s better for everyone this way”

Petition to make Robby the robot an actual playable class. Sign below! And, not for nothing, but the invisible monster from that movie would be a pretty sweet strike boss. Only visible indirectly or if you are damaging it.
