Figure robots from the F.02 line leave service in this report. Electrek reported the move, and the headline on that story is “Hasta la vista, baby.”
The report calls it a Terminator 2 style decommissioning. Still, it does not say how many units Figure destroyed, or what support remains for someone who already has one. Our Figure 03 page covers a later model from the same company, and it is a different robot.

Figure robots: Electrek says the F.02 line is gone
Electrek says Figure decommissioned these robots in the way the film melts machines down. Figure has not posted its own account in the material we have. So the story, for now, is one outlet’s report.
Also, other coverage this week said Figure melted most of the F.02 units to protect its technology. Electrek uses the film line and the word decommissioned. But the two reports point at the same event. Then they still do not add a count, a date, or a plan for owners.
Why this matters
A buyer should not treat the F.02 line as something they can order. Also, a retired fleet usually means parts and software get harder to get. But this article cannot tell you the price of whatever Figure sells next.
If you were waiting on this model, wait for Figure itself to say what replaced it. Because a headline is not a product page. So the only hard fact here is the decommissioning report.

What owners should know
If you already own one of these Figure robots, ask the company what support remains. Then keep any warranty the company gave you. Also, do not assume a software update is still coming.
Someone shopping for a first humanoid should look at robots that companies still sell. This report covers a line Figure retired. It is not a new robot you can buy this week.
Bottom line
Electrek reports that Figure decommissioned the F.02 line. Until Figure publishes its own note, that is the whole story.
