Maybe Spark wont look exactly like a mender scaled up.

Blazzberry for person of the year, every year.
I should note as someone who pays attention to a lot of stuff going on the Wiki; the Patch Notes have yet to be uploaded. This usually means that the Developers have something up their sleeve and just aren't telling us about it just yet.
As such, anything is certainly possible. But this could range from a single Event to something Major...

Lel.
And here we have an accurate depiction of the collective player reaction.
Serious comment: Not surprised that they haven't implemented the Gunner update yet. It's a shame, but, doesn't anyone remember how look it took for OOO to implement pets? I'd imagine there is quite a bit of tweaking to be done simply for the sake of making sure that the new weapons and armours aren't too overpowered or too weak.
But, who knows. Maybe they'll introduce a new promo? Or a new event?

I'm with Glacies. Plus the last couple of months have had extra surprises along with these small patches, so I'm making sure I have a few dollars ready on my debit card. :3

Sputterspark.
He's a new enemy they introduced when they updated a few of the missions to have more of a tie-in with the Gremlins and the Crimson Order. He appears in the 4-3 mission "Shocking Sentient Sentries" and the 8-2 mission "The Great Escape". You never fight him directly, though.

I like how these are
I like how these are "discussion" threads, like there's so much to discuss. So what have we got here, new art for Sputter Spark... k
And what else have we got... hmmmmmmmm... fixed disappearing rockets in 8-2 battle... k.
gg gunner update delaying skills 10/10 would delay again.

Yeah, I definitely want an unfinished patch to go live too :(
(There's a very good chance that there will be more to discuss once the "small" patch goes live, you haven't noticed that they tend to keep the biggest parts a secret until after we're patched?)

And, with little to no surprise, another promo. At least it's shiny.

I'll applaud the name that they used for the prize boxes this time around, even if it is a little tongue in cheek. The Stormy items were also some of the best in my opinion so seeing them in more colours is cool.
Good game Three Rings. Good game. :)
Patience is a virtue. Keep telling yourself that and eventually you'll believe it... Maybe. I'm too impatient to find out if it actually works.

Oh look more boxes. A reskin
Oh look more boxes. A reskin promo of a previous promo. And it's all rage-themed, it's like they're mocking us now because it pretty much sums up the veteran community and how they feel right about now.

@Khomie
Exactly how I felt when I read "Rage Promo," and even more so when I read the italicized comment at the end.

Sputterspark looks rather interesting now. He stands out more compared to normal Gremlins and looks even more ridiculous. It's a nice little change.
We now return to your regularly scheduled raging. Please rage in a calm and orderly fashion. Thank you. :)

But But....
I still have my Stormy Prize Box from last year which I haven't opened yet and now this ;-;
I'm really losing all my money :O

When I saw the promo, I thought they were advertising fireman costumes, and WTF is a tome of rage? Is it a book that makes players rage?

For those wondering...
Original Sputterspark (05-21 Patch): http://i.imgur.com/LMxu6D9.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/Vosdotc.jpg
New Sputterspark (06-04 Patch): http://i.imgur.com/yrjZd6F.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/ezzLf5H.jpg
Also, it appears OOO didn't bother fixing the name typo, as Sputterspark is still shown as "Gremlin Knocker" in the in-game UI.
