Arachnida crawler

[Brickviller]

Normally I built mostly city related things but Exo-force is a theme that will always have a special place for me. Because I like spider-like robots very much I combined the striking venom and shadow crawler to one big six-legged heavy robot. I think the result (remember that I almost never build a mecha) is quite good.

Some background story about this robot

After the defeat of the Striking venom, the robots began with the research for a new walking robot. The result were two robots, the Shadow crawler and this one called Arachnida crawler. It would be rather expensive to produce these in big numbers so the robots choosed the shadow crawler. Few of the Arachnida were made, but these would be used as elite attack and/or guard units.

It has only one pilot

and a hybrid devastator on top of the main body.

Equiped with 2 gattling laser guns

, 2 long range lasers

, 4 extra medium laser cannons

and a personal shield generator

this six legged machine would be a big threath to any experienced pilot. It's like a small striking venom. These units never saw much action because there were so few.

Even Exo-force didn't know excactly what this machine was capable of.

Later this machine would be the basis for more advanced machines like the Combat crawler X2 and the Arachnoid stalker

So far the backstory,

I would like to hear what other people thing of it

Cool, nice work

[Mrlegoninja]

Nice! This would fit great into the Exo-Force theme!

[XimenaPaulina]

Looks great! Very well-designed and even better-built! I'm lovin' the all-black with a bit of trans-lime color scheme. The heavy weaponry is certainly intimidating (double gattling guns, long range lasers, and medium cannons). Great overall job Brickviller!

[DarkDruid]

That looks amazing! I really like the overall design of it. (Though technically an Arachnid has eight legs, not six.)

[Milargo]

Very cool, fluid design, great cockpit.

Fits perfectly in the Exo Force theme.

[Masked Builder]

Very nice back story and it fits right in with the other Exo-Force baddies. Nice work.

What a menacing battle machine! However, I've got a feeling the cockpit is a little too big... and kinda bulky.

That was excactly the idea behind this mecha, to make a big bulky robot instead of those fast stealthy shadow crawlers

[Corydoras]

Yeah, but the head looks like it's too heavy and may cause the mech to fall over.

Hello!

An interesting design. I think it could need a bit more trans neon green as it is really much black everywhere. Escpecially the guns around the head would be more spot-on if attaching some transparent cones.

Cheers,
