Hero One TF?
I don't see why not. Even Rikti-fied, Honoree was better looking that Statesman.

Most of the surviving eight comprise the Freedom Phalanx, except for Back Alley Brawler, who founded the Regulators. |
You know how lame it would it be if they killed off the robot Citadel? And I mean like Kill off next generation Data lame.

Also, two of the promotional images for WWD featured his glove, and another said "They used to be called the Surviving Eight..." (emphasis added). I'm assuming he's a candidate to die until someone says he's not.
To bring this thread a little back on topic, it would be neat if eventually Honoree did get un-Rikti-fied like the Vanguard have been trying. You could possibly unlock him and his TF by finishing the LGTF. That way the character storyline isn't too horribly messed up.
"Why is Hero One a Rikti? I just ran his Taskforce the other night and he wasn't Rikti! Why is this happening I don't even! D:"
And yeah, Hero One is way cooler than Statesman.
I have totally been holding out for this ever since you run the Midnighter arc. Considering what you invent at the end, I have been asking since Issue 11 why we can't use that on the Honoree.

I don't know if this still counts as a spoiler, but here's a SPOILER WARNING!!! just in case.
I think that if Hero One ended up getting a TF, it would make more sense to have it be its own TF and likely Incarnate content. If you've done the Ramiel arc, then it makes sense to have Hero One as a contact afterwards. I don't think it makes as much sense for him to just take over Statesman's if/when States bites it.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Let's see if I got this right (Slight Spoilers for new players, you have been warned) :
Our first encounter with Hero 1 is when we go into the Vault under Atlas on our cape mission and we discover his time capsule is empty.
We then encounter him as the surprise gobsmack at the very end of the LGTF... This is such an important event that the mission gets two cut scenes back to back... we're given the H'rd'dtz (no I probably didn't spell that right) cut scene and think "Ok here's the big end of mission boss and then suddenly we're given a huge "WTF moment." Those damned Rikti have twisted one of the greatest, bravest heroes in our Lore and used him against us.
Our most recent meeting is when we finally defeat him in our Ramiel arc. The most significant thing there is that he is not a shade or an echo, he is the genuine article and we "return him to Vanguard." (Presumably into the direct care of one of the most powerful signature characters in the game, Lady Grey - where he can now be cured of his Riktiness)
Statesman is my bet to die for a number of reasons which we can speculate with at length but ultimately he's done with this game. His Dev's been long gone and not respected with the game community, his character has been so poorly written historically that he just comes across as an irritating, obstinate stuffed shirt, and there are several hints throughout the game that he dies.
Currently the game's splash screen features Statesman fighting a clockwork. Whatever you feel about that artwork itself, it's significant that a) It's only Statesman who features in the illustration and b) it's an insignificant opponent. It's just a clockwork - of the kind we take on from level 1 in Praetoria. That, my friends, is his swansong.
However, he's got one of the best TFs in the game. It's a genuine challenge for most teams, even those who have some incarnates and it takes the team to work together. It's loved by many players - and there would be a big problem removing it for those reasons. Plus we know that the Devs dislike removing content as such - and this is too good to remove.
But, he sends you on it, and then that's it. He's the mission granter, but that's his only significance as far as the TF goes.
So, Statesman dies, Hero One gets his TF with some minor tweaks (and possibly a rehab mission to reintroduce him to the wider community.)
Let's also remember that Hero One is a Brit and now we know he's an Incarnate - but the significance of that is (I believe I'm right here but open to correction) Hero One s one of the only non-American signature characters in game. As the wider community of players integrates with global server access and a united forum it seems strange we don't have any EU sig characters.
Note that I don't anticipate him taking over the leadership of FP - I expect Ms Liberty to do that.

Agreed. If any tf contact dies then i'ld much rather a revamped TF than a simple "X character continues it".

Ok I'll stand corrected on those points but Warworks or not it's still not a signature enemy - it's a generic mob and thus relatively unsignificantated

I' ve just came back from the future and it's Manticore
*Massive SPOILERS in this link*
Manticore, eh?
Just speculating out loud a bit, but when Statesman kicks the bucket, will the Honoree get his TF?
