And with multiple turrets on its back it could target multiple players at the same time, which machines fall victim too in multiplayer. Only being able to focus on one target while your buddies riddle it with bullets has always been their major weakness.

Something resembling this but with GZ vibe?

Sort of. I’m kinda thinking a cross between a B52 and a battleship. 
not slow and lumbering.

yep! But I think tracks would work best for mobility and stability as well as speed.
like segmented mini tanks

That is because you didn´t see them in action, faster than Walkers and tracked units.
But they are indeed Alien…

It would have to be faster and have more firepower than any tank.

exactly - alien tech. Gotta use what’s lore freindly for 80’s earth machine invasion not alien invasion!

I don´t follow?
You wanted a centipede, there you have, just need to remove the alien design.
Each part has a turret.
B52 and a battleship? I´m lost with what might be the design in your head.

I did say with a GZ vibe.
Tanks (being walkers) with legs can actually run a lot.
This is not so big as an Harvester, so theoretical it could move almost as fast as a Hunter.

oops. when i say tanks i mean real tanks - not GZ machine tanks. I really need to be more precise. I thought the tanks with tracks part was obvious enough.

Some tanks can be quite fast… reaching 70 km per hour, some even more.
They just need to move at least 30 km per hour to catch the player ahaha 
My “centipede” would be as big as 4 or 5 minivans in length and height. Each segment would have a pair of tractor/monster truck tires. The head would have pretty much a real world tank main gun. Along it’s back would be turrets consisting of existing machine weapons. It would have a rail gun tail gunner.
Turrets like a B29?, that´s different now i can imagine it…a battleship and a B52 have nothing in common lol.
Monster truck tires? Oh man, sorry but the design is not great, it would be too weird, and the centipede can´t be much more longer than 2 and half vans or else it would move in a very strange way, don´t forget the game has limitations and is quite buggy.
The Tanks and Harvester already have some difficulty to pass through trees and houses , we have to take that in consideration.

Plus wheels aren’t very machine-like. Too human!

B29, B52, Battleships all have turrets. For good reason.
Imagine an accordion metro bus with a howitzer up front, 2 50 cal machine guns and a mortar on it’s back and a hunters rail gun as a tail gunner…
Uhhhh… wheels or legs…

Not even legs would work for something that big. The hydraulics necessary for that much weight would mean each leg would be too big. Look at the size of the legs on harvesters and tanks for comparison, to show weight/mass - leg size required. And having lots of smaller legs wouldn’t offset this. This is why I suggested tracks would probably be best for this kind of body type.

Please… lol… i don’t care what they consist of or how they get around. I just think there needs to be new machines and they cant be piddly.

How horrible it would be to be inside or emerging from the bunker, only to have a stream of Ticks swarming down the stairs toward you. A pain to deal with and a great psychological weapon.

All of those bots are crazy dope. Especially the humanoid ones, they could totally add to the game. Act kind of like infantry, to accompany the dogs. Or maybe that could be the assassin. Many possibilities with that one. Really hope they add it.
