If it goes the way I hope (and it seems like it's going), it won't have a native physical form (other than an immobile computer) but will be able to link with a friendly robot and, effectively, temporarily

Nice post! One correction -- all the cards will be available through the player market as soon as people want to sell them. Indeed, there are two Octohomes and three TOM Starters currently available.

I was really hoping for more like end September/early October with many options to be added later -- but I don't have a good feel for what all is involved.

Here's my entry If I were smarter, I would've done a Baldie build 😜

What do you know about life support that we don't know, palasatenea? Also, Stranded Trader + the standard Amarasia gives you 22 slots! 14 slots is chump change. ;-)
