4th variation?

In the beginning of the video, Triborg was neutral grey with blue lights. That is his variationless form.
Cyber Sub is cyan and grey. It's most definitely a special input.

lets be serious. the name "triborg" was dead on arrival.
It is a pretty bad name, lol. lbsh, no one is going to say..'i play triborg', they're going to say..'i play sektor/cyrax/smoke.' NRS got the creative minds with the brutalites..fatalities...xrays... but for some reason when it came to deciding the name for the Bot's, they drew a blank.

If anyone wants to pick Cyber Sub just go to Cyrax variation and press Up Up Y or Triangle.

It is probably variationless version. Though i wouldn't mind rest of the cast getting 4th variation in future updates.
 
I don't think it's variationless. We saw the pause screen and all of CSZ's specials had a little icon next to them. That's variation-specific, which points to it being a new variation. I'm not a programmer, but it seems to me that it would be easier to add it a fourth variation than allow players to choose variationless characters.

Another thing to consider is that since the game now has 33 characters, the total number of variations is 99. CSZ makes it a nice even 100.

It is better this way
It could be the input for a no variation, but in game it is effectively a fourth variation. They said that Cyrax, Smoke, and Sektor share NO specials across Tri-Borg is a whole. So this Sub-Zero being added in will be a fully functional variant. Hope he doesn't suck this time.

I kind of wish they just added four new character slots for Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke, and Cyber Sub, while leaving each one without variations, but only because the name "Tri-borg" is so lame.

Alternative skin with his own special moves?

Damn. I want Spirit Liu Kang as DLC skin for Liu Kang that allows all projectiles to go through him because he is a spirit, you know.
LOL, while we are at it, let's give all Shinnok mains their dream: Corrupted Shinnok as his fourth variation.

he is the no variation option. He has a ton of specific special moves ( i dont remember what they were called but a new one where he can summon up to three little balls that hover behind his head)
Does he have a few exclusive normals like the other robots? His ice sword make a return?
