Description:

===========================================================================
Hello, and welcome to another of my addons!

The Synth Spider Tank is a revolutionary combat mobile armour engineered from the genetic material of the flying organism known as the Protozoan. Its exoskeleton is composed of Protoceramic Luna Titanium, renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to high-calibre weapons.

The tank’s compact frame belies its formidable armament. Two high-calibre Gatling machine guns unleash a devastating barrage of rounds, while a pseudo-laser guidance system ensures pinpoint accuracy. The tank’s agile design grants it incredible maneuverability, enabling it to navigate even the most treacherous terrain.

First Deployment:
On the outskirts of City 10 (formerly the United Kingdom), a rebel force emerged, threatening the stability of the region. The Synth Spider Tank was deployed as part of a counterinsurgency operation. It has successfully proven its worth by accompanying smaller Strider formations and providing defensive firepower to combine infantry forces.

Combat:
The tank’s superior firepower and mobility proved decisive in quelling the rebellion. Its Gatling guns shredded rebel positions with relentless fury, while its laser guidance system targeted enemy leaders with surgical precision. The tank’s exoskeleton withstood multiple RPG and missile strikes, demonstrating its formidable resilience.

As the rebels were pushed back, the Synth Spider Tank played a pivotal role in securing the outskirts of City 10. Its advanced technology and unmatched combat capabilities proved to be a force multiplier that ensured the swift and decisive end of the conflict.

Yes, I can tell the model is from Terminator, but I didn’t feel like making a Terminator addon, so I decided to incorporate it into the combine.
