Seeing this made me think of a scenario that I think would be cool af. If we actually lost Super Earth (liberty forbid), instead of the war reset that happens in Helldivers 1, we FTL jump to a planet that we still own on the edge of our galaxy, then, our democracy officer tells us what happened, and now videos similar to this one play on our TVs instead of the usual Super Earth ads. Then, General Brasch himself, contacts us and will be our Major Order provider instead of Super Earth High Command, since they're, you know... gone. He then provides said orders that tell us that we're going to build a resistance to reclaim Super Earth by collecting supplies for Super Destroyer's and their Strategems, liberating planets from bugs/bots --- including Gaellivare which at this point would've had the DSS built, and rallying the citizens still alive on the planets to the Helldivers' cause, which I would assume because of how unique and immersive this would be, would actually bring a lot of players to the game, feeding in to that atmosphere of everyone rallying to retake Super Earth. And then, when we do eventually reach Super Earth, we see how much it's been ravaged and changed by the Automatons. The lack of citizens around alongside the massive Automaton presence means that the citizens have all been converted into Automaton's, all revealed by dispatch while we slowly retake Super Earth. Finally, we take it back, and the game slowly returns to how it is generally now. Great video btw, you did an incredible job with the atmosphere and how it could play out in the actual game. 👍

[@Honkious5824]

It is theorised that the Automatons may be Nazis and that Super Earth calling them Socialist is meant to be a joke about how Americans think Nazism is Socialism (Super Earth is a parody of the USA, if you weren't aware). This would also explain why we haven't seen the cyborgs as they would presumably be seen as an inferior race and thus still be enslaved on Cyberstan.

[@alduintheanti-dragonborn]

This makes me believe that the automatons are attempting to jam transmissions and broadcast their own propaganda to demoralize and distract Helldivers assigned to major orders. This is a trick to get us to turn around, there is no way they could get anywhere close to Super Earth without us knowing and obliterating whatever fleet they try to use. Locate the source of the broadcast so we can put a stop to it.

[@acetrigger1337]

Do not question. This is real.

[@felipeaugusto2600]

Not gonna lie, it is a pretty spooky scenario, we see elements we know from gameplay but mixed with the EAS flavor of videos. We have the Strohmann news we know and love but broacasting such scary scenario, followed by the known tips sound effect (Helldivers theme but dinging) but used by the EAS, making it sound tragic, we have the EAS broadcast that goes along and gets cut off. With the transmission being taken down and we see the Star and Gear of the automatons, only for the screen to go black again, and end up with us face to face with evil in person. Between two banners, cap and medal and a black face with glowing red eyes, the Colony Directorgives off the look of a military governor of some occupied territory by the Third Reich, showing the new flag of Super Earth with sirens still ringing, implying how chaotic the situation has become. The title of director instead of administrator implies that he is running an instituition like a school, or a workcamp. The Colony Director speaks of how the people has been manipulated and to make humanity free again, but not giving it a choice and threatening deviants. With the menssage not to submit to evacuation with the threat of execution puts the citizens on choosing to die by SEAF forces or Automatons, the flag of the Super Earth Colony and anthem in the background imply the start of a new era, with the threats of the Director and the menssage, it is unerving and uncertain. "This menssage will repeat until conversion is complete" Conversion... Like it's as simple as that as taking over a planet, as if they are doing it in a couple of hours.

[@awokenvoid]

That's a very good interpretation of the video!

[@felipeaugusto2600]

I just realized, we hear noises from the flag waving. Previously we would hear an air raid siren, but in the end, all we hear is the flag itself. That implies the area the flag was planted on is firmly in automatons grasp from the few minutes that passed between the first and second moment the flag is shown.

[@abelbeano]

Yes

[@fuoco1365]

It seems like they are an escalation of the cyborgs. After the failure and enslavement of the cyborgs the automatons likely spawned out of an idea that even being partly organic was still making them too weak to fight back. Automatons likely either have just a brain or they have singular leaders or giant consensus like thought machines made up of many controlling the automatons.

1:38 Since I have too much free time and I don't really see a comment like mine, the message here is in Swedish, with each letter replaced with the Automaton alphabet.

Edit: Just noticed that this isn't the only message lol mb. At 1:44, from top to bottom, it decodes to Swedish as something like "kontingensmeddelande rulla | att användas vid framgången för fas 1 av projekt reclaim | godkänt av kolonidirektör voltis mecaner", which means "contingency notice roll | to be used upon the success of phase 1 of project reclaim | approved by colony director voltis mecaner" 2nd Edit (god how much messages are there?): 2:21 The red word at the top right hand corner decodes to "Direkt" in Swedish, which I assume means "live"

The Automatons actually closely resemble that of Nazi Germany with their ideals of the strive to superiority and unification among the people. As well as the obvious National Socialist and Fascist aspects of the Automaton principals. You see, the US government back in the Cold War had always called the Communist countries out for their aspects of Fascism to try to point fingers as to whos the "bad guy". In fact Russia, China and many other countries think the same of the US too. This goes to show that the common misconception about Fascism being Communism is simply and wrongly overused all because of the world's propaganda. In short, yes the Automatons are indefinitely Fascist and I 100% support them.
