I'm genuinely impressed with their balls. Libs probably won't notice it but they've done this both on twitter and in-game.

minus-squarebuttwater [they/them]hexbear49·7 months agoHeh heh, reminds me of a car parts website selling a regular "OIL cap" and then a "710 cap" next to it for twice as much. They were the same thing link
minus-squareAwoo [she/her]hexagonhexbear44·edit-27 months ago Canonically the bots are socialists/communists. Maybe what they're doing is that the Automatons as the "children" of the Cyborgs are modern Russia, while the Cyborgs are the former soviets. Either way the fact they're satirising this ukraine war language is a huge surprise. I did not expect it. link
minus-squaresloth [none/use name]hexbear28·7 months agoI could be wrong, but it does seem like the Automatons are off-shoots of the Cyborgs of Helldivers 1, canonically. link
minus-squareAwoo [she/her]hexagonhexbear29·7 months agoYeah they are, they were created by the Cyborgs. The Cyborgs were enslaved in mines on the planet Cyberstan, which the Automatons just took back. Either the Cyborgs will join the Automaton faction as a few different units, or they will become their own faction entirely. link
minus-squareFrank [he/him, he/him]hexbear43·7 months agoNotably, as far as they have any motivation in the story, the bots are trying to reach Cyberstan to rescue the Cyborgs from a century of slavery. link
minus-squarethelastaxolotl [he/him]hexbear31·7 months agothey now took over cyberstan, i wonder if the devs are now gonna give them cyborg units now link
