    i think the only reason we can't get him is because he is employee exclusive. Same as the employee medals and weapon skins. But yeah, i agree we should get him some way.

    Yea keep'em, but make him unlockable though. And does anybody have any proof of EPIC employee exclusives or gameplay with rumored/mythologized content?

    Played with a few of the devs a couple times (real devs, not modders) and none of them used Thrashball Drone. However some of them do indeed use the Pixelated Skins and Omen/Epic Games medal.

    Downloadable? He's already on the disc old son.

    Pretty sure they said they wouldn't make it permanent, only promotional. But hey, most of the time he's sat there doing nothing and people love him, so why the hell not?

    Still needs downloaded to provided permanent access to the file. The Ike we would download is uploaded to the servers hence your ability to use it, it still needs downloaded for permanent access.

    No he's not. Hes on your disc but unlike the medal and weapon skins was not designed or intended as an exclusive. They simply haven't unlocked him permanently yet. EPIC employees can use him, making it exclusive by default but only once or twice did I see them using it and I've played w their employees frequently. The pixelated skins are exclusive by design. Thrashball drone just hasn't been released.

    So once Gears 3 releases, when you use the torque, take a bit of pride in knowing you helped make it better

    What makes the Trashball Drone special is that we can only use him for a limited time, it's the same way with all of the weapon skins we get for holidays and such, what makes them more special is that we only get them during certain events, having it all the time would ruin that special feeling.

    I think the Locust Locomotive should stay as a limited thing, regardless of how badass he is.

    Exactly....... Epic is so talented and they have worked their talents with TBD, ley us keep him. I will pay for him even.
    See if it wasn't for Dom, Marcus and crew would have not made it past the Lambent, so remember this sacrifice. Brothers to the End.
    When I die, hope they bury me with Guns and Ammunition!
    Tupac - Hold Ya Head, got to listen to that atleast once a day, or I feel incomplete, and just before a Gears game. It also has lyrics which sounds it was made for Gears.
    Big thanks to II LYCAN II for my Young Marcus skin, my first ever win!
    Big thanks to st3g029a for the generosity of randomly giving me the Paintball Weapon skin! My second win on the same day! Whoo!

    This.

    Like Stay Frosty wouldn't have the same awesomeness to it if we had it all the time. Same with TBD.
    Big thanks to M Carmine for the Infected Omen Skins
    A HUGE thanks to Flak for the Launch Skins
    Thanks to Zap for ComDom

    Disagree with above post, he is on disk, the gun skins are not. So we should have him...

    They could just give him to us for free, just for a little fan appreciation. But honestly alot of people will pay for him so that's probably what will happen. Im fine with either scenario.

    Yes they are, The 22 gun skins you can purchase off the marketplace are on the disc. This includes the pixelated skins as well. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the ones you dont own and ppl wouldn't be able to hack and use them.

    It's the same principle as character skins. Without the files ppl couldn't use them in a match otherwise if everyone doesn't own them.
