Headline Related: Untigelsen Brand Roster
Untigelsen Owner and Developer LumiusRBLX have released what car brands will be removed in the game's next update. The brands leaving are:
• Rigbone (Rigbone semis don't match the European style, which makes sense, as the company is US-based and Untigelsen is European)
• Robo (no reason I particularly know)
• Frisco (no reason I particularly know)
• Chroma* (any F1 cars from the company will be going, but the manufacturer's version of the UniQ Origala/ Venus Viteza Spyder will remain)
• Telestar* (possibly, as that is not confirmed, but the company has done some shady things)
I assume that these brands' leaders, owners, and staff already know of this announcement, which can be viewed here.
Headline: Telestealing
Today, I found out that Telestar, a known brick car brand, is one hell of a thief. According to LumiusRBLX, allegedly (allegedly to prevent flack or something against me), and I quote directly from the message he sent in the AW Discord:
honestly telastar took 2 free models from random websites and turned them into as what [name-redacted] calls them "telastars" with one of them running on a BMW chassis, the P10 was lowkey a bad pickup version of the solara trival, the artlas is a copied ceinder moethus and the avena is probably one of if not the first very original car, but it just seems rushed to me, especially the interior of it
To dissect, Telestar took two free models from an unknown random website and rebranded them as Telestars. The Telestar P10 was a shit pickup version of the Solara Trival, and the Artlas is basically a Ceinder Moethus. The Avena is the only original car, which would be good if it wasn't clearly rushed.
For example, the Marvino Era was done within a day, with a basic interior and nonfunctioning headlights, but it did not look rushed, but unfinished (I can say that since I made it). So, to see Telestar, a brand I once thought underrated to actually be a thief in every sense of the word makes me disappointed, especially since brick cars are easier to build, yet still, look absolutely amazing, seen in companies like Sonya, KOI, Solara, Marvino, PIO, QKD, and others.
Follow-Up: UniQ, Venus, and Chroma: Origala, Venus, and the Unknown
Following up on CarBlox's original story about the fiasco we won't be discussing again, UniQ, Venus, and Chroma are doing what Subaru and Toyota did: sharing cars. The UniQ Origala will be seen in the form of the Origala we know from UniQ SA, the Viteza Spyder by Venus, owned by Han, and a yet-to-be-named car from Chroma, which is also putting its engine in the Origala original.
Venus and UniQ have fully revealed their variants, along with giving us their specs. The cars do look similar but have a myriad of differences that are anything if not noticeable.
Specs We Know: 5.5 Liters Twin Turbo V8 combined with an electric motor that makes 1,309 Horsepower.
Specs We Know: 3.5L V8 Turbo Hybrid supplied by Chroma Performance Powertrain Engineering, producing 870 horsepower.
While performance freaks will notice the difference in stallions, litres, and turbos, the thing that got my attention was how, despite technically being identical twins, like Tia and Tamera from Sister Sister (if you've watched that show), they have their very own distinct personalities. Now, the Chroma version, to complete this trifecta. I assume their version will be not be named similarly to their F1 cars, like the CR.20, to differentiate the track cars from the street ones.
Espila: The Genesis of the Industry?
Espila and its subsidiary Venus didn't just give us the Viteza Spyder, but the company has just unveiled their two latest vehicles: the G850 luxury sedan from the planet named company, and the Espila Z5 GT. The G850 will pack a 5.0 Liter V8 engine producing 526 Horsepower, but we don't know the specifications of the Z5 GT. Here are some images of the two vehicles.
No release date has been mentioned, hinted at, or said.
Cars Roblox: Not a LoopSell Competitor?
enes4558, CEO of Lastin Motor Group, which was voted for something you had to be there for, has started a new endeavor: the third-party sales market. They have started a new site called Cars Roblox, and are basically planning to become the Amazon of Roblox. The main idea for the site came from the suggestions channel in the AutoWorks Discord of all places, and the goal is to sell first-party items in one place instead of through the releases and brick releases channels in AW.
While it may sound like a LoopSell competitor, it isn't. LoopSell primarily focuses on allowing users to sell products in a way similar to eBay, Kijiji, and Varagesale, among others. Cars Roblox, on the other hand, is functioning similarly to Amazon. They are not the same, as far as I've seen.
Cars Roblox does offer pre-used car sales, but that's done differently by each in different ways.
Quo's Status Quo in Canadian Makeup
Today, I was at Superstore. I saw a soap bottle that had the branding, and I quote, Quo. This is hilarious, as I searched up the company, and it's called Quo Cosmetics, one of the market leaders in Canada's beauty industry. It's a Shopper's Drugmart only brand, and debuted 12 years ago, making it significantly older than the brand we all know and have mixed feelings about.
This is absolutely hilarious. Not even Quo is safe from some naming overlap!
