New Scanner

[Shapeshifter]

A lot of comments (mostly negative) have been made about the scanner, or the lack of scanner, or whatever. I have a little story to relate about that. When the design team came back to the producers with the original concept for the scanner, if was the traditional 8-segment led light bar. The producers told them "That's not going to cut it, go do it better." What they came back with, I'm not going to say here. But suffice to say it's much more imaginative and way cooler, and you haven't seen it yet.

Thank you SS... I've been a little nervous up until now that we haven't seen a scanner.

In my fantasy Knight Rider world, I would update KITT's 8-segment lightbar with a fiber-optic scanner with hundreds of lights. Mostly red, but might change colors in different modes.

If you look closely on the video at the end when Attack KITT comes out you can see a glance of the scanner, just look closely.

It appears as if the scanner is split in half. I just hope they're not going to make it criscross à la "Soul Survivor."

i got a glint of a red lens.

Does anyone know what the song is called when they introduce the remote car ? sounds cool.

I still think the scanner would have been best placed behind the grill like it was for the original KITT. The scanner being on the hood just doesn't look right.

I agree, but according to Shapeshifter, the producers have come up with something "much more imaginitive," and I'm taking that to mean it's simply not just a flashing red light(s). If it's not the same oscillating scanner lighting left to right, maybe I can accept a different approach to the placement on the car. It just depends on how it's going to work in the show, which we have yet to see.

I know! KITT will emote via the scanner! Blue when he's sad, red when he's angry, green when he's jealous, ect.
