In some sort of effort to prevent future spam, I am going to be compiling any sort of theories about the engie update in this thread.

All VALID submissions can be PM'd to me, along with any images if needed.

To further suppress spam, I am offering 5k casino cash to anyone that submits a theory that is proven true in later blog updates.

To start off with things found in today's official engie update page:

EDIT:

Frontier Justice!

There is some sort of New World Order, but with hats

I think this looks like the vitruvian robot, don't you?

Once again, any other conspiracies can PMed to me, and I'll have them up, with a chance to win 5k casino cash!

It looks like there's a couple of references to moustaches too....unlockable facial hair maybe?
 
My prediction is that there won't be a melee weapon, because it would usurp the specialness of the golden wrench if people had to swap it out for a melee weapon with a real effect.

However, if they DO release a melee, my assumption is that it will turn people into metal, so that the engie can use it; after that, the golden wrench will do the same thing, but just aesthetically in gold. Of course it can't be any better than any other potential melee weapon, because then only 100 people would get that gameplay advantage.


Prediction for weapon distribution? 1 shotgun and 2 pistol replacements. they tried to change the buildings to ill effect with the repair node, and it broke the game. My theory is that they couldn't find suitable replacements, and won't be giving us new buildings, but rather weapon choices to enchance or change the strategy involved in using them (like the frontier justice does).

TL;DR: Prediction: no new buildings, but 1 shot gun and 2 pistol replacements.
 
Feasable theory, as having those mobile things would be cheap, but only really bad in the long run, when they need upgrading.'

Really, anytime you try to change a class to do something its not supposed to, your gonna break the game once or twice before you find one that works.

Floating Blimp dispense, that is all.
