New Character Speculation

Now, Popcap have recently announced with their recent roadmap two new characters coming in late September and I want to do some speculation. I think it would be fun to throw ideas around on how these characters will be like.

The Information We Have...

The Zombie is a TV Head (or similar to)

The Plant is a Wildflower (or similar to)

TV Heads and Wildflowers are counterparts and are clones of each other.

TV Heads and Wildflowers fire in 3-burst and have a grenade that also knocks back enemies.

Hitboxes

So I think this is pretty important since many people talk about Plant's having huge hitboxes and zombies being very slim.

The TV Head Character should have most of his hitbox be his head (The TV)

The Wildflower Character should be overall medium size (around Peashooter's size) so the head is not the prime hitbox.

Possible Class

Looking at the leaked characters and what we already know about TV Heads and Wildflowers in-game, I don't think they are going to be defense characters.

The Wildflower has a higher chance of being a support or attack character, since we already know two defense characters of Plants are in the making.

The TV Head probably has the highest chance of being an attack character due to Zombies having Wizard being the newest character and the body type seeming to be more of an attack.

Possible Abilities and Weapons

Both characters will most likely have a grenade like ability considering them being based off the spawnables.

Both characters will most likely have a three burst weapon, though we don't exactly know if the Ai's can shoot automatic or in longer bursts.

The other abilities we have no real lead on due to no other evidence, hints, or clues to what kind of abilities they could have and what they are supposed to do.

That is all I could think of at the moment. I would like to hear some feedback and thoughts. Maybe a few ideas about the other abilities. I do have some in my head, but I would like to hear from others first. I gave this information to help you formulate ideas. When these characters come out, I will probably do a review of these characters and their perks. I'll try to respond to any good ideas or ideas that I find interesting.

  • I think that their 3rd abilities are not defined at default and by their upgrades they can below:

    -They can equip coffin or vase.

    -They can have healing flag like Healing Zombie or drop healing fragments like Healing Weed.

    -TV Head can ride Little Riddle Machine.

    -They can conjure large bot such as Yeti or Garg by their ability (but can't control to distinguish Z-Mech).

    @CharlesHlcBendel I really like these ideas. They seem like they have inspiration from the other spawnables. I really like them, though spawning a whole boss would be weird and I think it would be too difficult to properly implement.
  • If it's a gimmick that transforms like an acorn or a cadet


    TV Head
    CRT↔︎ 4K Flat TV mode (Expanding the range of projectiles)
    Wildflower
    Yellow flower ↔︎ Red flower (Damage increase)

    Either way, I want a 4K Flat TV costume (pretty thin, luxury suit) 😃
