: Yes, nothing on the that page, which was last updated in 1998, ever made that
: connection.

: The odd thing is that the whole "cyborg tanks are Bobs" concept was
: dropped from M2. Even their red blood was removed. So why bring it back in
: Infinity?

: Cheers
: Hamish

I never knew that concept was removed. I knew it existed but didn't know they dropped it, which is why I keep calling them Stalker tanks/cyborgs as if they are Bobs, they're effectively the counterpart of stalkers in Half Life 2. The different blood was now saline solution or glucose or something they use as fuel.

That said, I always thought the "slave tanks" bit in Infinity referred to stasis chambers as well and they just used a pfhor=centric name. "Translation" could mean that these didn't take the exact human shape or biology into account since the pfhor were from a completely different neck of the galaxy, so it took some dying in stasis until the pfhor got it right for that particular species, with Marcus/SO just getting lucky. (or because he teleported in from a different timeline in the future)
