A group of five Cybran Monkeylord-class experimental spiderbots assaulting the enemy base.
The Monkeylord is the cheapest Experimental available, but by no means weak. Its main weapon is a Heavy Microwave Laser with a terrifying damage output and 360 degree rotation, but short (by SupCom standarts) range; for longer ranges Monkeylord has two Electron Heavy Bolters. It is also armed with two SAM launchers for self-defense against air targets and meson torpedo tubes for self-defense when crossing water bodies, and if you feel like so the Monkeylord can crush smaller units underneath. It is also smaller and more mobile than other experimentals, however, it isn't as resilient and is especially vulnerable to large groups of gunships or bombers. To remedy low survivability, it has self-repair capabilities and... radar stealth. Yes, that giant spider is visible only to optical sensors and omni sensors (a big deal in SupCom). It is best escorted by T3 fighters.
The funniest thing? Monkeylord was introduced into SupCom 2 with a DLC, and there it is the most expensive and powerful experimental without any noticeable changes. Which just tells more about SupCom2.

  • These five were later TPK's when I was too focused on defending my own base. I suspect strategic bombers.
