Recently I have been leveling my spiders to get to master and it made me wonder what a Hero version of the Spider would look like. As I'm uneducated in Canon I don't know if there is a noteworthy Spider or if they're even based on history. Hero mechs seem to have extra hardpoints or a different layout.

So.. What would / should a Hero Spider look like?

What I would really want is similar weapon layout as TDK, but that would be p2w...

I just want to point out that almost all hero mechs have either less weapon hardpoints (Misery, Pretty Baby, Yen Lo Wang), or the same amount (Death's Knell, Ilya Muromets, Heavy Metal, Flame/Fang). Only the X-5 has more than average, but unless the spider is one of the dev's favorite chassis, don't expect the same treatment.

Spider, 6 jumpjets, 4 missile hard points in the arms.

Turn it into what the Hero Commando should of been, but with jumpjets.

Anything else would be blasphemy.

My idea: 255 XL, ES, 12 JJ, 1x MLas RA, 1x MLas LA, MASC; the jump jets have been modified to give primarily forward thrust
It is painted a ultra-high gloss bright cherry red.

I don't need a hero spider.. I am a hero every time I jump in the cockpit of one

Seriously the 5-D makes you feel like some kind of action superstar lol

Maybe we'll get the Mythical 6 MG Spider the Devs have been talking about and the sole reason machine guns aren't viable.

The Hero Jenner will be the 3-Second Jenner, complete with Truedubs.

The Pay 2 Lose 6MG Spider will obviously be the Hero Spider. It'll have a backstory too where the pilot is the best anti-infantry and or Internal Critting Mech pilot in the Inner Sphere.

the 6MG hero Jenner will have a +30% cash bonus that can be doubled to +60% if it actually manages to kill anything on it's own.
