Seeing as they are about to see use in >THIS THREAD< (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=386387), I realized something of a problem.
Even I don't know what the stats are. So, I'm gonna quick draw them up so that everybody can be aware of the largest Godulan Robot to date. State secret blah blah blah, if you see it, run, yadda yadda...
StarSpider Mechanized Planetary Assault Platform
Size (Undeployed) : 30 meter diameter sphere
Size (Deployed) : 40 meters tall, 60 meter tail
Motility Methods : Spatial Flux Drive, Blade Legs
Top Speed : 80mph (flight), 20mph (ground)
Energy Core : ProtoSpace Advanced Fusion Core (also works as self destruct device when the need arises)
Sensors : Audiovisual Receptors, Madar (Mass-Based-Radar, really hard to fool), Thermovisual Receptors
Armament :
-4x Heavy Flux Cannons (Mounted on arm platforms, Primary Armament, Capable of fire in all directions)
-Tri-Barrel Assault Blaster Cannon (Tail Mount, Suppression Armament, also capable of fire in all directions)
-Leg Blades (All eight)
Defenses :
-Heavy Neutronium-Carbonide Steel layering (ExoSkeleton)
-Cerametal Armor with Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Ribbing (Interior Mechanisms)
-Medium Ablative Shielding Module
-Heat Shielding and EMP Shielding
Communications :
-Maintains constant uplink with central command hub, mainly to receive orders

The StarSpider is the final product of our Cybernetics research. It is the ultimate platform for crippled Godulan soldiers to serve their nation in a measure held in awe even by the M'Lekk'Torr symbiotes.
A StarSpider enters a campaign area via Orbital Insertion, using its spherical shape and heat shielding to survive the brunt of the landing impact. As it enters combat zones, it deploys, shifting into a Scorpion-esque form (despite its arachnid name), The tail unwraps from the vertical equator of the sphere, equipped with an assault cannon and something of a riot shield in form, the bottom half splits into the eight obligatory legs, and the top half branches out to reveal the four Flux Cannons, mounted two-by-two on small rotary turrets, enabling full firing capacity in all directions.
The StarSpider then maneuvers and acts according to the whims of the organic mind held within, with respect to mission objectives. Be it support or primary assault roles. It is particularly effective in breaking blockades and attacking armored targets and buildings, though it also has moderate effectiveness against personnel and aircraft, due to its tail-mounted blaster cannon.
Due to its prohibitively large size, only about two hundred would be deployed on the battlefield at any one time, with Two-Thousand being the absolute maximum. (not that we HAVE that many as yet, but we intend to, that's fer damn sure)
