The Spider Bot is a spider-like robot with four legs and two heads - one like the other robots and a second head underneath it - identical to a cherub's head, whose purpose is unclear. It is one of the most sophisticated robots built by the Mechanists and is much faster and maneuverable than the Combat Bot and armed with a sawblade launcher.

Tactics[]

These robots are encountered few and far between but can group together with other mechanists robots and Masked Guards. Tactics are the same as with the Combat Bot: 2 Water Arrows or 1 Gas Arrow (though a Gas Arrow ought to be spared for different targets) in the boiler will take the robot out of function, but this is more difficult because the Spider Bot's smaller boiler makes this area more difficult to hit. A high explosive like a Explosive Mine will disable it. Flash bombs will also blind the robot. Nine blackjack hits are needed to disable the robot. Like all other robots, the bodies can be broken down into 'corpses'.

Behind the Scenes[]

The second head may be a carry-over from an earlier design.[1]
