It's just trying to emulate this Pack:
Serious answer: the hose on the prototype came loose.

I wouldn't be getting your hopes up that it'll be a pure '84 hose built into it.

There's no conspiracy going on here... I suspect they just didn't feel it was necessary to show the whole hose because they felt it was more pertinent to show how it'll be connecting to the Pack and wand.

They were one unbroken length of split loom, which might've been fixed with black electrical tape in some instances. They were pretty unremarkable in appearance.

I understand your frustration, but at the end of the day this project was developed with the specific intention to be a replica of a 2021 Pack, not a 1984 one. The period add-ons and options to mod it are a nice inclusion, but understandably not the main drive of what they're intending to offer.
As for the colour, it's a prototype... The colours aren't final.

Most people here aren't Hasbro employees, they literally can't answer some of the questions you've been asking, '83.
