Even in its inactive state it is much better than a screen.

Has the "great" Joe Rhode ever gone on record regarding the "broken" Yeti? Knowing that AK is his baby, I'd like to believe that this is really aggravating to him, and would help in the cause to get the Yeti functioning again(back to his original state).
Then again...maybe the TDO/AK bean counters don't care what Rhode thinks or wants.

I guess my hypothetical screen startle is different from how you envision this hypothetical screen. In any case; I fail to see how a static figure with a strobe light would be better than a screen. I'm a practical kind of guy; I like physical props over digital effects but in this case wouldn't an animated yeti trump a non-moving yeti? That's what it boils down to... screen = movement. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't done it.

It's not new. It's the old lighting from when he used to move.

It's new to me lol.
Alright, get the pitchforks: I like B Mode Yeti. I think the strobes add to the "mystery" aspect of the story, making it more of a "did we just see that thing trying to get us", rather than the "Oh, cool, he's right there" of A Mode. Don't get me wrong, the arm not swiping is sad, but if they could combne the motion with the strobes, then THAT would be cool

A-Mode with full lighting was more like "OH (manure)! HE'S GONNA GET ME!!!"

Not pitchforks, let me see if I can illustrate a similar principle:
Equivalent to B-Mode Yeti:
Compare to an A-Mode Yeti:
I did ride with it in A Mode

You're defending mediocrity then.

And he was never heard from again...
There are rumors that he was swallowed up by the mountain itself... or that he was being held underneath Its a Small World, constantly being tortured until he admits his wrongdoing.
They say you can sill hear him cry out...
