Official name[edit]

These robots are being called "Frankenturrets" in the official developer comments. Just take a look on the first speech balloon in the 8th chapter. - ZuTheSkunk 20:46, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

The entity name is monster_box. Maybe that could at least go into the trivia.
Edit: Disregard that, I am only now learning how to read. SteveZombie 00:50, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
Should the article be renamed Frankenturrets then? Osumesu21 12:11, April 26, 2011 (UTC)
I don't see why not. What the developers call them is clearly more canonical than whatever we make up. -HawkeyE 17:25, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

/* Possible Intelligence? */[edit]

When GLaDOS attempts to assault Wheatley with a paradox, the franken-cubes recoil into themselves as well as start to smoke. This implies the cubes have some level of intelligence, moreso then Wheately at least. 74.72.245.86 05:39, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Images[edit]

Am I mistaken, or is the purple pattern visible on the current images of Frankenturret an indication of a missing texture? Is it visible in-game? - ZuTheSkunk 20:58, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

The black and purple square pattern is the indication of a missing or broken texture. Whatever texture's missing from the images, it's also missing from the defective turret images. Osumesu21 03:15, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Anyone notice this?[edit]

Anyone notice that on the Frankenturrets, there appears to be an arrow and unreadable words 'written' on the Cube and pointing at the Wheatley Laboratories logo?

I know its not very relevant, but I found it interesting. ^__^
