This machine would look like a mecanical spider. It would have a large octoganal piece on its tail end, that can release a special type of tick. This tick can latch on to dead hunters and runners to bring them back.These ticks would replace the head of the revived machine. Machines can only be revived 1 time and if you destroy the attached tick its an instant kill. This machine would be a little smaller than a harvester. It can spawn in open areas and lightly forested areas.
Hmm, I don’t know what to think about this. Usually the machines explode at the end of their life span. I think this would damage it beyond friendly take-over.
This machine basically needs to be close to battle to reactivate fallen comrades. I wonder what would happen with the killed machines in the north, if you fast travel to the south and kill machines there. Don’t they typically de- and respawn?
I’d love this idea as a type of an addition to a roaming force. So when a machine is downed some sort of drone activates, repairs and takes over the downed machine. This could go on and on until the Necrobyte is killed as well. (unless there is another Necrobyte close by ^^)
