The old atlas had hydraulics, this one only electric actuators. Thats probably what they meant.

    That makes a lot of sense, actually. I also saw "fully electric" and immediately thought of electric/hybrid/ICE cars, and my brain went straight to "hold up, did I miss the fully functional diesel-powered humanoid robot?"

    I think it was gasoline, not diesel, but there was this.
