I noticed a long time ago, some robots have a blinking red thing in their back. Here's a picture what I'm talking about:

What the hell is this? It's a kinda propulsion system?

The little drones all have simple anti-grav (just like EVERYTHING ELSE) and thats all they get. They move a lot slower too.

Escorter · Post by **Escorter** » Sun Feb 19, 2006 1:48 pm

That's the sound of inevitability; the sound of your doom.

If you think they sound strange. Wait until you play the Fusion Hulk sound backwards.

Now this thread is going too far... Originally it started about the robot propulsion system.

Moderators, please lock this thread!

Escorter.. some have visable drives some don't. There's no big mystery.

It's like an math axiom. It Just IS.

and...

it's a game, not a rocket work shop.

Drakona · Post by **Drakona** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 2:02 am

Pyros have the same thing. Pretty obvious what it is, since it lights up when they move.

Escorter · Post by **Escorter** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 4:58 am

Okay, I get the point. Descent is \"just-a-game\", with a lot of strange things.

As Wikipedia said:

\"It is possible that they were intended to be an enigma by the creators of the games.\"

Please no more post here!
