(I’m sure someone will revert this if I’m wrong, but should Tiptron be listed as a Pixl? The ancient kind of technology that contains a person’s soul? All Francis did was create a robot with the appearance and functions of a Pixl. That doesn’t mean it has all of the inner workings.) Tag: Mobile edit |
LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 3830420 by 68.43.3.30 (talk) - Page 13 of the Player's Guide lists "Tippi / Tiptron" under "Meet the Pixls" and page 15 of the Prima guide states "Who is this sharp-looking Pixl?" showing Tiptron. Besides, it's supposed to be a 1:1 replica who thinks it's the real Tippi, so it's an apt description.) Tag: Undo |

Tiptron has feminine programming and is designed to resemble Tippi; she speaks exactly like her and uses rainbow-colored textboxes as with the other Pixls, but shares the textbox shape used by other robotic characters like [[Fracktail]] and [[Wracktail]]. However, there are several occasions where she demonstrates some awareness that she is not the real Tippi: | Tiptron has feminine programming and is designed to resemble Tippi; she speaks exactly like her and uses rainbow-colored textboxes as with the other Pixls, but shares the textbox shape used by other robotic characters like [[Fracktail]] and [[Wracktail]].

Overall, though she was made as an exact replica of Tippi, essentially a replacement, she is able to see through her programming, and this awareness that she is not truly Tippi creates something of a minor identity crisis. Despite this self-conflict, however, Tiptron still believes she is Tippi and acts as her organic counterpart would. In function, Tiptron differs from Tippi in only one minor way: the pointer she transforms into while tattling enemies rotates at a much slower and more spasmodic pace, while Tippi does so much more smoothly. | Overall, though she was made as an exact replica of Tippi, essentially a replacement, she is able to see through her programming, and this awareness that she is not truly Tippi creates something of a minor identity crisis.
