You mean the rotating turret thing that shot Stinky?
I'm guessing that you have to solve puzzles to stay out of their line of sight, or else they will instantly shoot you.

Yeah, that could make some interesting challenges.
If you bothered to copy and paste this signature, or zoom in, to make it possible to read, then I wasted 5-10 seconds of your life.

I wonder if they shoot other monsters. If they do or if they don't, that could also make some creative puzzles.

My theories:
They only shoot you.
The blue round UFO from the first picture was what it was originally going to look like. Remember, MS said things in the pictures at that point might be cut from the final game. I'm guessing MS changed the blue robot into the rotating moving turret, but they work the same way.

Doubt it. If you look at the texture it looks crude and unfinished, and probably just a place holder so that something would show up in the game to be able to see the object, and then he changed its model and texture. Again, the machine probably is based on UFOs since it appears to work similarly, so he could've copied the code or something to start with.

Things I saw in the trailer:
The spinning wierd looking items are quite obviously the WA3 keys.
Notice how in the final scene, there is a red painted one, and a convenient red gate next to it.
There was a strange green creature that moved incredibly fast at one point.
There, in the corner.

The spinning things are key cards. They act like regular keys, except the texture and model is different.
If you look at one of the editor screenshots, you can see that it is possible to change the key format.

New pic. Lots of new stuff to see in Wonderland. New planets, new mechanics... it's a huge game now! Here is a pic of the squad level combat levels.

That's the true meaning of my username. Sorry guys, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this. Now group up so I don't waste ammo.

They seem to be shooting some sort of chromatic ray. Perhaps there are different bullets which do different effects.

First, think about how badly that would fit Wonderland's theme.
Second, log out and look at the time posted.
Third, consider how awesome it would be if we got that in the editor.

Also, look at the the tital of the pic. Preview 99?! It's obviously an April Fool's joke.
Insert stupid jokes here.

I agree it does fit badly with the Wonderland theme.
There's also a weird texture behind the flame (it looks like the MOFI cave floor texture 3, or WonderFalls floor texture 2).

My reaction: WAZZGOINON.
And then: Waaaait a second. What day it it?
Further speculation: You know, if this were real, those massive rainbows would blind you and seriously affect visibility

Sooooooo, how does that work in terms of game mechanics? Do you control everyone at the same time, or do you switch between them in RTW fashion?
Do you lose when one stinker dies or when everyone in the squad dies?
And the enemies can't really shoot back. I'm afraid this is going to be an imbalanced system, making the squad too powerful.
Great joke, MS. The only way this could be better is if a HIDDEN mode like this (unrelated to the main game) actually appears in-game as an easter egg. Though that's tons of extra programming work, so I doubt this will actually happen.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

Great joke there, Patrick. When I first saw the picture I went "WHAT'S THIS?" Before I realize it was a joke.
