You're assuming that the max speed isn't the base lvl 1 speed. So that's why we'll have to wait and see. And I'm not sure what you mean by the default speed, but rereading my original post, I see now how it might be confusing re: speed.

But my point was that the max speed is just as fast as gepard (IIRC), has about the same weapons and has a plasma shield, so there is a good chance this would be another 'carrot' for new players to spend a few bucks to get a dominating bot in the low tiers. If it was a WSP bot, I would see less of a reason for a newbie to buy a gep when I could just wait for the WSP for Gareth. And it would make no sense for Pix to release a WSP bot that would replace a gold bot.
