Are androns actually in the game?

[XenoMask]

So I've heard that three alien species are in demo, sebilians, greys(forgot in game name) and androns. But I've played demo several times and I've never encountered them, even before time demo ends. Are they actually in game, if they are, does anyone have pics or autopsy text for them?

Unless those small flying drone things are actually androns I have assumed that they are just drones since you can't capture them because they explode and because they are called "light drones" in one patch at temporary name. That and "Andron" sounds like android.

This are the Alien's present in the game at the moment:

Caesan:

Variations: guard, guardsupport, noncombatant, officer, soldier and soldiersupport

Sebillian:

Variations: guard, guardsupport, noncombatant, officer, soldier and soldiersupport

Lightdrone:

And a Alien named "None":

It is a limit of 5 pictures I can attach, but you get the idea?

[XenoMask]

Ah, ok ._. So I've heard wrong when I heard that androns are in demo too?

[Gauddlike]

Chris said something about a base defence with Androns attacking if I remember.

Must have not been ready in time.

[Buzzles]

There's certainly no Andron sprites in the assets, although there is a reference to them in the xenopedia and research xml files.

Maybee you was thinking of these aliens?

So I googled about androns and found this (http://gaming.ngi.it/showthread.php?t=515164&page=6 scroll down). So they are green humanoid robots? Three humanoid species so far .-. I wonder rest of aliens will be the non humanoid ones.

[Gauddlike]

Not necessarily green.

The majority will probably be humanoid.

Well apart from the vehicles, they probably won't be.

[XenoMask]

Well, I would be disappointed then I remembered that in original game every enemy expect for their support units(sectoids/cyberdiscs, floaters/reapers, mutons/silicoids/floating gut things, etherreals/robot reaper mech things with brains).

But yeah, Androns will probably be differently colored based on type.

[kefeinzel]

the drone is like a tau drone without a horn, lol

[Chris]

Yeah, that's a basic andron. The higher ranks are bigger and different colours. They're not in the game yet, it's a bug I need to discuss with the programmer actually. They don't seem to be spawning in UFOs for some reason.

[Gauddlike]

I am looking forward to meeting them, in a way.

[Gorlom]

I'm looking forward to them meeting me... and my little friends.

[radister]

Im looking forward to meeting them.... and my men going "ahhhhhhhh!!!" and firing randomly in there general direction.

[Slam Bus Rodan]

Similar to the Mutons... good idea.

Similar to the Lobstermen... BAD IDEA.

[Gauddlike]

Androns will not go well with lemon butter.
