Ballbot Assemble animation??

I was fiddling around with Valve's instances and models and came across a blue-bot assembly animation. I just used the same instance but changed the animations to the assembly ones and it worked perfectly!

This definitely isn't in the game and I wonder if Valve meant for the Orange bot to discover the blue bot while assembling, or Orange presses a button to assemble Blue. When you start the calibration course Orange is cool with being assembled but the blue bot tries to run away. The bluebot even has a secondary skin (skin 1) when Orange only has 1 skin (default skin 0).

Even in the courses one time Glados states that "Blue, how well do you really know orange? Do you trust Orange? What if I told you, you aren't Orange's first cooperative partner?" What if Orange's first partner is destroyed and they have to create another bluebot with a different memory?

Any theories people?

Well, GLaDOS is a mean liar, so I would think the quote was just to "upset" Atlas. So the assembly thing might have been an idea that was scraped. Is there an Orange assembly also or just a Blue?

Edit: Orange is also referred as a EggBot.

I wonder if it was used for the animations in the original coop trailer, where it shows them being constructed.

Theory; I think the animations were cut so the players can quickly procede to the next area.

First guy tells the second guy, "My head hurts!" The second guy replied, "Stop thinking so much!" Then the first guy says, "I think that what caused my problem in the first place!" The second guy says, "Then stop banging you head against the wall!"

What about the P-Body Assembly Machine? If there is Atlas Assembly Machine for the trailer, where's P-Body's?

:wut: it's too damn long as it is. The FIRST time you see a robot disassembled = COOL!. after playing through all 5 courses no less than 3-5 times. and some individual maps a few times you really learn to HATE that animation, it really needs a "space bar to skip" option, or an advanced settings option or something.

EDIT: BOT; The "assembly" animation is a cool find though!

do NOT click this

There is only an assembly animation for Atlas. This is why I thought it was fishy.

Was there possibly a Portal 2 Easter Egg that showed Atlas being built?
