Also, what’s this??

Why does it look like Winona is here? Does she know more than she lets on about Wagstaff?

This is a recreation of the Disconnected animated short where Winona repairs WX-78

These inconsistencies are killing me.

Mini-theory: The W in WX-78 must stand for Work/Working. e.i. Work eXpander-78 // Working Tranformer-78 (I think that the X is a shortened symbol). This is what human WX build the robot in the first place, to work with higher efficency; in the comic we see how they are working with the helmet on trough WX on the portal, I think their idea was that they are clearly very smart but to work better a body of metal would do better. The 78 must mean the 78-th iteration of the model, we clearly see it was not the first version

The story about WX in this ARG reminds me a lot of the movie 9. With how similar the memory puzzle and helmet is to the device the scientist uses in the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Klei took inspiration!

I felt a bit worried about "human wx" (or what ever name the community has given Wagstaff's college) since Wagstaff got Bio-bliterated/stolen/warped into the constant. 

Then I remembered that 2 Wagstaff's now exist as a result of his experiments, so it is entirely possible that original Wagstaff is still working on the sap collection to keep "H.W.X." alive while Wagstaff 2/clone-staff was working the dangerous experiments on the war-bot and got... removed from the picture. 

The idea that Wagstaff wouldn't have a contingency plan to help keep his friend alive, especially with the cheery attitude that he maintained whilst taking care of them...

  

Wagstaff is with out a doubt a character that lives up to their name of "cryptic founder" but perhaps there is more going on here then we realize. 

Is it possible that Wagstaff thinks the experiment went wrong and he doesn't consider Wx and H-Wx to be the same person/being, taking care of his friend and ally but not recognizing the experiment did work?

Would Wagstaff prioritize doing the more dangerous experiments himself or did he send his clone to do the dangerous stuff and report back?

I just realized something... I think I may have assumed that there where two Wagstaffs when in reality it was more than likely H-Wx greeting wagstaff on the other side...

So... Wagstaff and "Human Wx", may possibly be extremely dead...

Potentially, I don't know, this stuff gets me so scrambled I don't know what to think. I really hope some stuff is explained soon.

as far as i know nothing has been established which is a shame, woodrow really does feel correct since that was the name tied to the oldest of wx's files

It might be Wagstaff eXperiment, with other numbers referring to completely unrelated prototype projects.

The radio is PR-76. (Production Run?)
