Isn't this is the factory protectron from The Pitt?

Is this a speculation that the cure was successfully created, The Pitt thrive and Ashur have more manpower to expand?

How do you even begin to to make a connection like that?

There were yellow bots in NV:OWB, it just means they are for working on construction sites.

On top of that being wild speculation, some of us decided to kill Asher, therefore him existing wouldn't be Canon

I would assume beth wants to avoid canonising anything from 3 like the plauge, so its most likely just a generic protectron.

Not sure if this would be in the game, but coming from one theorist to another, good possible find!

As other said it,the yellow color mostly represent workers or construction for U.S.A.

people paint their cars in all kind of colours why not their robots aswell , try to imagine a pink protectron with yellow polkas

edit i just got a vrilliand mod for the game when the creation kit comes out

Well, some of us might kill Moira, but Wasteland Survivor Guide still show up in New Vegas.

Moira cant actualy be killed though, she is either human or ghoulified, and she was working on it even if you didnt help her. Also we see construction protectrons in OWB i think.

I doubt Bethesda will cross paths with anny dlc that has multiple endings. This causes inconsitencies with peoples own canon, thus being a major imersion breaker for some. The only way this would be brought in is if they had imported save states like in MassEffect or Dragon Age.

You can convince Moira don't to write the Survival Guide. I doN#t see the problem with canon... they canonise FO1 and FO2 too.

After you ghoulify her you can talk with her and say "i was trying to get rid of you, looks like i have to finish the job" and then she goes hostile...meaning yes you can kill her in the context of a quest

the last time beth made a character choice canon it was all of them with a broken reality. they should pick an actual canon, make smaller scale stories so the canon doesn't really matter as much in the long run or put the effort into letting player decide world states imo. i really love shaping the world but there isn't much of a difference between picking something you didn't do as canon and picking nothing as canon

See yellow protectron...assume the Pitt Raiders did the thing.
The protectrons weren't even friendly to Ashurs group. They were haywire. The amount of logic leap here is over 9000

Not sure its a construction robot, at 1:19 in this video he's shown as a chef in Diamond City: http://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4s-todd-howard-talks-lighting-and-weather-effects-in-new-video/

He is a pastel yellow, which I think they used to make him look more retro. 1950s decor had a lot of pastels: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/25/77/ff/2577ff1fdc2721de20b82a4d2bfe1c41.jpg

it's a post apocalyptic game, he was probably reprogrammed... like fisto.

It wouldn't be Head Canon, but it's Bethesda that determines the lore for the games, so Asher may very well be alive and mentioned in Fallout 4, even though in your Head Canon, he is dead.

This is why I like it when they're vague about events. When they don't go into specifics, only that things happened.

We the players know what happened. I as the player lived those events. I don't need to be retold my exploits if they are not a key factor to the current game.

Just from impression, I got the idea that the yellow protectron was for construction environments. The footage of the other protectron (E3 combat trailer) was too brief and dark for me to see if it was also yellow or if it was a different color. I got "gray" but that might well be because of the indistinct nature of the clip.

I don't think they could be vague about someone like Asher, or someone like Owen Lyons, etc. They're either still alive or dead, or just not talked about at all in the game, leaving their status, "unknown". Even something like, "Yeah, the Pitt's slaves are having an uprising," would lead one to believe how The Pitt ended up.

We still don't know for sure if Bethesda will decide canon for Fallout the same way they do for Elder Scrolls. Might be that they want to tell a more cohesive narrative, and therefore decide canon outcomes. I'm not sure I care either way.

That also depends on WHEN this game takes place, with the repeated line of 200 years after the bomb blasts, which places it roughly at the same time as Fallout 3, so the events of the DLC and the main story may not have happened, and the game may play coinciding timeline-wise. That's another topic for another thread with a big fat "We don't know" label over it.

Hopefully Gamescon will give us a more exact date/time frame from F3 to F4.

I just assumed that robot was built to be a construction worker.

So the theory here is that it's yellow and thus MUST be from the Pitt? Despite Pitt Protectrons not even looking like that since they "wear" a "http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/9/93/FO3TP_Factory_Protectron.png/revision/latest?cb=20130216131026"? Literally the only thing similar about it is that it's yellow... We really need some new info, don't we.
