:O WIN. Well, spider tanks are almost always win. I also like the ones from the new Armored Core 5 trailer.

A nice challenge, I always loved the Tachikoma spider mechs from Ghost in the Shell. Good luck Natty!

The Czechs fight the Assyrians already. But I think the Assyrians should have this tank so it will be a harder faction to beat. (not that it already isn't, but the immortals are stronger.)

I'm quite aware, but at the moment, the Czechs only have a couple jeeps and a small dropship. Her Akkadians have a couple tanks and the pirates have a big ship (unless it's taken apart), but the Assyrians have a couple ships, a SHIP, the Armored Core, Super Death Tank, jeep, and Drednut. Hmmm.

Actually, the Spider Tank could be stolen ASE tech and the Czechs were developing their own experimental units to properly fight the ASE.

Could be the results of Scythian Collaboration with the Czech Republic, who want spider tanks, but also want cheaper ones.

:shock:

Win. I think I'll take apart that minimecha I made (which is just collecting dust now) and replace it with a spidertank.

A bit off topic, but I really liked the episode that robot was from. Any fans should know what I'm talking about.

I always thought something like a scarab from Halo (more like a moving platform with guns) would make a great setting for a brikwar. It could have a time limit or something before it got to a certain position to blow something up. Haha, just imagining, there could be a forced perspective miniture city that it destroys as an objective.
