why are the robots blu?

[infant annihilator]

Shouldn't they be grey since they were made by grey man?

Originaly, robots supposed to be green, to have Red and Blu team on the same side, but was cut since the playtesters got confused and attacked each other.

They arent gray for another reason. Uber and Crit effects looks weird in gray.

I say they could have made uber and crit black? Also LOL about the playtester thing.

They aren't really BLU. The BLU robots wear the BLU uniform and look like they have skin. Same for RED. Gray Mann's robots are just.. gray and that "color" means nothing.

Totally agree.

I agree Name. But, grey AND black would totally be copying OWN.

oWn is fanmade and "copying" doesn't matter because:

1. Gray Mann.

2. They are robots.

3. Robots have no team, only Gray Mann.

He still cares about the series. He's in the military rite now tho.

I think grey robots are pretty boring and the crit effects would be like white because a glowing, brighter grey=white. Doesn't sound better than blue to me even if grey would make more sense.

this thread got disgusting quite fast

It's for gameplay reasons. It would be a lot easier to just design the game mode to conform to the existing teams rather than try to make a new team.

Also, in attack/defense maps, BLU is always on offense and RED is always on defense.
In MvM, the human players are the ones defending while the robots are the ones trying to deliver the bomb. So that's why humans are RED and robots are BLU.

By disgusting do you mean on topic?

Let me cut this short, Blu team was bought by Greymann to help them industrilize robots, thats why the robots are "blu colored" This WILL be in the later comics in fact. Right now they are still making them of course. Blu and Red are enemies and allies yes, but Blu has the more advantage over red and thats why none of the robots are red.
