Description In sharp contrast to the UNAF Trekker, the Spider is an eight-wheeled monster. A massive conpressed A-3 liquid Heptane W-18 engine puts out a massive 3500 horsepowers. Combine power with computer-operated suspension and 16-wheel steering, the Spider is able to achieve a top speed of 85 MPH on almost any terrain. While its size makes it less fit for cluttered environments like cities streets, the Spider is capable of driving through a 3 meter-thick wall of reinforced concrete and each of its 16 tires are internally reinforced by a titanium mesh to resist punctures. Due to its relatively high center of gravity, the Spider isn't fit to carry heavy weapons; rather, its main operational role is to deliver soldiers safely and quicklyfrom one point on the battlefield to the other.

(Shown here with an UNAF Trekker carrying twin 50-calibre anti-armor autocannons)

EDIT: Brightened up the render, added internal details to the main headlights, and added some kind of tank to the main body because the side view was kind of boring compared to the front. Also added rigging to the rear exit hatch (can't see it though).

Really like your comments, gives you a feel for what the vehicle would be capable of. A great concept well executed.

The psychological impact brought about by one of these things on the battlefield would be enormous!

The troops it might be carrying may not have time to move out, since the enemy has already fled somewhere away from the sight of this monstrosity

lol, diapers will now be retrofitted to all infantry armors. But yeh, I designed more for the purpose of looking terrifying than practical.

When designing machines, artists usually start with the aesthetic value and then work their way from there. That's how I do it anyway

No matter if it's too bulky or what. As long as it looks cool and kick-ass, it is bound to succeed XD
