spider tanks?

>>34145828
How would these spiders be able to think in a way that made them only want to attack desginated targets instead of just going about natrual instinct to do what spiders do (depending species I guess would determine what they do, not a spider expert)

Bump for the effort

>selling mutants to the military
we have dozens of movies explaining why this is a bad idea

No, the EDF would wreck giant spiders.

simple, retreat troops and use artillery to bombard anything just beyond our lines, air drop shipping container of spider troops onto enemy camp, spiders go all reeeeeeee.mp4 and start rampaging because their nest was rustled , spiders kill enemy and die once their oxygen runs out

Fucking loved EDF 2017, I beat every mission on every difficulty and got every single weapon except for one of the grenade variants, it was a super rare spawn on one of the hardest levels.

2017 was actually good, the newer ones were awful

Spider tanks, spider tanks
Do whatever spider tanks do
Can't we armour the legs?
Hydraulic fluid it will spew
Look out!
Here comes the spider tank

Is it strong?
Listen friend
Pretend it is or our funding will end
Can it swing from a thread?
It's about as useful as the undead
Hey there!
There falls the spider tank

In the heat of the fight
In the dead of the night
Like a streak of light
Lost a leg to an IED!

Spider tank, spider tank
Friendly neighborhood spider tank
Wealth and fame
I'll be adored
Army contract is my reward

Look ouuut,
Here comes the spider taaaank

How do spiders being really big somehow make them impervious to small arms?

The issue with scaling up Arthropods is that their respiratory systems become much less efficient. I'm only saying this using my limited knowledge on speculative biology gathered from /an/, but the reason we don't have any massive land dwelling invertebrates is because the atmosphere is much less oxygen dense. Your spiders would've constantly be struggling to breath in a contained environment, let alone a smokey, air polluted battlefield.

Heroic someone cap this please.

Did you even read the OP image? Spiders are equipped with oxygen supplies to keep them going

OP forgot one thing: Spiders don't have nostrils, they breathe through their entire bodies.

Unless you somehow completely surround them with oxygen on the battlefield, they'd die.

Lets say you managed to fix the breathing problem, you'd still have to deal with the fact that small arms would put them down just as easily as any grunt, but are a much larger target.

It's not just about oxygen, square cube law makes exoskeletons pretty poor for larger sizes. The larger they get, the brittler they get.

What could possibly go wrong?

Trying to scale up biological creatures and go to great lengths to deal with the problems of scaling up such creatures doesn't make for a practical, cheap, or reliable weapon.

You'd be better off making quadrupedal or bipedal robotic drones with machine-guns, grenades, and missiles.

If you really want giant fucking spiders, make an actual spider TANK like pic related, with wheels in it's feet to move faster than just walking.

Antman are you going in a new direction?

Giant weaponized spiders are a very bad idea.

A very, VERY, bad idea.

It's common sense dude, seriously what the fuck it can't possibly end well in any way.

You should learn what print screen + ms paint does... or if you're on fire fox it's even easier.

As >>34151525 said, you've basically just invented the Tachikoma.

Antman? Is that you?
