The Prototype is a character in Changed: Special Edition, first appearing in the Greenhouse section of the game.


Background

The prototype is an unnamed prototype for a mass production of household robots by an unspecified technology company who previously rented the tower as a robotics laboratory before the emergency expropriation of the tower by the Thunder Science Company for the research of the cure and latex beasts during the pale virus pandemic. The robots typically resemble cats.

Because of the urgency of the situation, the technology company had to leave behind many machines under development and not released to the public yet. This prototype was one of them. According to a note on Prototype's charging station, workers found the prototype in storage, but it was lacking an AI, so they put a sweeping robot's AI into it, which is the reason for its low intelligence.

Info

This prototype has a feature which allows it to change the color of its holographic fur into various colors and styles as seen when K orders it to present its features to the Human. It is also capable of changing its appearance more dramatically, even to the point of being scary. However, it is still no threat.

It can also have various expressions via its digital visor. The prototype, as Dr. K described, is not very intelligent. This can be seen when it attempts to prevent the human from moving forward by placing a single traffic cone in front of him. This prototype also possesses GA (Greenhouse Administrator) Permissions although it has not been explained as to how it managed to get it or get the permissions assigned to it. It seems to have decent strength, being able to lift a latex beast and not be slowed down by it. It also seems to be at least somewhat capable of human speech.

It assists the player in the Behemoth boss battle by becoming a means of electrocuting the boss's hands. It will display a shocked expression for most of the fight but will appear confused if the human gets transfurred here.

Appearance

The prototype appears to be, at its base, a metal digitigrade humanoid body with two small triangles above its head, suspended in the air by unknown means. It is mainly light blue, grey and white in color with cyan spots on its large forearms and fingertips. A black visor and a functional mouth along with a nose dominates its face, the visor often displays its digital eyes and or expressions. It has holographic blue fur surrounding its chest area, neck, forehead, ears and the back of its head along with a fluffy tail that also seems to be holographic like its fur. The fur and eyes can change color and shape at its will. Pictured are yellow, green, and pink.

Personality

The prototype appears to have a kind of eager-to-please personality. It behaves somewhat passive yet neutral and has a regularly cheerful and happy attitude. Not much is known about its personality other than that it gets aggravated when something prevents it from accomplishing its task of helping someone, as shown in the case of the GICT (Greenhouse Intelligence Control Terminal). Besides that, it's friendly. It also has below-average intelligence, as in the Squirrel Latex's Post-Transfur Screen, it is shown to not know what clapping is, warranting Dr. K to ask the prototype to stop knocking on it's metal arm, even telling the Prototype later on that his refrigerator is more intelligent than it. This is displayed later on as he waters Puro's book. The below-average intellect could be because the Prototype has the AI of a sweeper robot.

Trivia

  • The prototype previously had no installed AI so when someone came along, it decided to copy a sweeper robot's AI into it.
  • The prototype seems to have its own charging station, in the fourth greenhouse room, that perfectly fits it.
  • If the Human gets transfurred in front of the Prototype, it will respond with a look of surprise and confusion except when watering the potted plants.
  • The prototype's original purpose was replaced with being a gardener.
  • The prototype's height is nearly the same as the protagonist's.
