lakhnish 6165 Report post Posted April 21 I am going to make an educated guess to the short for WX-78. In the detective board for Winona's short, we have this weird flier that Winona collected labeled "Exposition Universelle 1910". Picture in the spoiler below: Spoiler The Exposition Universelle was a world fair that was held during 1910 in Brussels, Belgium; with world fairs being a place for nations to get together and show off their achievements. What's interesting is that there was a big fire on the 14th and 15th of August that year. So what better place to show off your latest invention (cough WX-78 cough) than a World fair that conveniently had a big fire for something to disappear! And that's my theory for what the short is going to be about. If it's not, then what the heck is this poster supposed to be about lmao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waoling 1231 Report post Posted April 21 See, Winona is important she deserve to be a protag. I think the short is going to show who the other guy that help built WX-78 and what went wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKingDedede 3677 Report post Posted April 21 Yes. Here's my guess. Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theukon-dos 4287 Report post Posted April 21 Possible, though I personally doubt it. Going by WX's biography, it seems that however Wagstaff made them, he regrets and feels shame about it. Not enough to dismantle them thankfully, but it definitly seems like something that Wagstaff wouldn't be particularly eager to show to the public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PunkShark 1180 Report post Posted April 21 This actually makes more sense than you might think. Wx has an old quote regarding something about fire, it has always been extremely vague on what it was all about but maybe we'll finally know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopuleasa 1998 Report post Posted April 21 So wait, you are telling me there won't be a mob of overweight angry citizens protesting that "robots are taking our jerbs" in the short? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wx has an old quote regarding something about fire, it has always been extremely vague on what it was all about but maybe we'll finally know. That reminds me, when WX examines the potato head thing in single-player (which turns into Maxwell's head), it says this: WX also says this for the potato: Maybe it's a clue on to who the other creator for WX is. Maybe it's lowkey Maxwell or Max in disguise as it would explain how he's been using Wagstaff's designs for the Teleportato, but I'm not sure. It's also weird that WX's Chorusbox Circuit is playing Ragtime though, since that's has been what played on the radio when Walter got snatched in his short (and thus presumably Woodie as well) and the fact that Ragtime is what plays when Maxwell is on the throne.

Funny thing, this Rose Appraiser made the same prediction while compiling and speculating the DS/T timeline. But, of course, speculation is easily disproven as Klei will be the ones to call the shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sudoku 2355 Report post Posted April 21 The guess about the fair is solid. Walt Disney also debuted his animatronic President Lincoln at the 1964 world fair as well, which was a huge advancement for the technology of human animatronic puppetry so theres kinda a neat little parallel between Walt and Wagstaff.
