I'm just curious, as I've recently become addicted to the Spider Mechs.

Is there going to be a Spider Hero Mech or is it based off of lore I'm unfamiliar with?

Fill me in if anyone would, on how Mechs are selected and put together as Hero Mechs?

Another bugged indestructible spider is precisely what this game lacks.

My thread here should help, the venom is 5tons heavier but read what I said in the update part of my first post.

as soon as they fix those heavily bugged little naggers, i am fine if the spider gets a heroe...but for now they should just simply deactivate that thing... mho

They should have a hero spider in September with the game release!!!

Here is leaked concept art of the upcoming Spider hero:

The six machine gun Spider will claim innumerable Atlases.

Just gimme a spider with death's knell hardpoints!

[General Taskeen]

They will do it, because they think its cool and hilarious, but it will more like rubbing salt into the MG issue.

[LordDante]

any spider i sit in is a hero spider ( i would love to have the 6 mg spider though )

Well they have said that all mechs will get a hero version at some point (yes even the founders.. and by that extension the phoenix mechs) but they have not exact timeline for when a mech get a hero version and they do not seem to be in any specific order.

My friend All Spiders are by default Hero's! The Spider is currently the most vilified Mech on the battlefield, MechWarrior's actively hunt them in packs, I've seen it and been hunted.

What you have discovered is how much fun they can be; fast, manoeuvrable and able to fly. I run an almost totally unarmed Recon 5K variant; just one medium laser and an AMS. Recon and Spotting can be a lot of fun, you provide tactical information for the rest of the lance like: Enemy locations, Grids, Strengths, Types, Direction of movement. On a map like Tourmaline or Alpine it can make a real difference; remember the Assaults in your Lance normally have a top speed of 47.5 kph and so can't afford to move too far in the wrong direction.

Final Thoughts
Each time you venture out onto the battlefield in your Spider, just say to yourself "I am a Hero" and you will be.

As posted in a previous Spider hero mech post the Venom would be great. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Venom Just slap larger JJ wings on the back charge slightly more for the resizing work needed on hit boxes and call it a day. I'd buy one.

[Sephlock]

It needs to be able to mount AT LEAST 14 jump jets.

[Sean von Steinike]

Oh for the days of knockdown......

[Blacke]

I support the spider hero mech idea.

Spider Hero:

Chassis quirk: 25% reduced hitbox size compared to normal spiders.
