We were duscussing new robot for cyber general some time ago. It had to replace old spiders. Four new concepts were represented: new spider, crab, chicken and humanoid. Spider won the voting. I skinned it and represented finished model in news. But players noted, that they liked crab too and they wanted to see it in game as well. So, I decided to skin it too. It will replace antipersonnel spider.

Yet another update is new builder robot for cyber general. Many people did not like the old model I took from Descent 3. It was decided to make fully new concept and fully new model from scratch. New builder will hover above ground and water as well. All characterictics will remain the same.

Finaly the cyber dozer is replaced. And the new one looks epic. It's sad that old Santa didn't bring us a new contra though :p .

Crab looks nice but I feel that artillery turret is more fitting with it (artillery turret seems front-heavy in spider and it would look more balance in crab). Cyber Dozer is cool.

It sounds logically. But I'm not quite sure. Crabs tend to move pretty damn quick on land, so it could become a hit and run arty unit like the buggy. On the other hand, this doesnt fit usa.

I love the new units, both are excellent.

I will agree with the comment that the crab legs look very stable and make me think artillery immediately.

As for hit and run comment, while not the style of most USA I think it suits Robot general's fast units extremely well.

Between now and the next polished release there should be very little new art work done. Instead the focus is on designing, testing, and fixing. the mod has always been so close to finished that its nearly criminal. I'd love to see this through to the end with a real community effort.

I love this mod, good job indeed. However I love the stealth general and found that none of his special abilities worked!! so could drop sabourtors or drop a set of barrel mines etc even though I earn them. Is there a fix?

Cheers
