Suicide-Scuttlebot - A basic looking scuttlebot with a bomb tied to it's back. It runs 30-50% faster than it's non-bomb variant and has no basic attacks. It tries to harass any nearby knight by standing in their way, will blow up, leave status and hurt any nearby knights when killed. May leave the respective status if not pushed back or killed after staying a while next to a knight

Siege-Lumber - Has a reinforced sides and back being only vulnerable to attacks coming directly from front, shield similar to Darkfang Thwackers

Adapta-Lichen - Whenever it is hurt by a status, it changes color so it will become immune to that status, for example when shocked turns into a quicksilver. Does not merge like the regular lichen

Rocketeer-Gremlin - Holds a rocket launcher and fires off similar homing projectiles as what rocket puppies fire

Rocket launcher gremlins have

Rocket launcher gremlins have already been hinted at.

The rest sound pretty neat.

Reading through... Scuttle-

Reading through...

Scuttle- cool, make the suckers a threat in places other than a puppy danger room

Lumber- so a slower, stronger, less curse-ey Carnavon. Awesome.

Lichen- does it switch every hit with a status or just once? either way sounds good

Gremlin- OHGODWHY

...still cool though

homing rockets don't make sense

improve homing missile physics or get rid of them and just make them dumbfire

@Maeko I guess it would

@Maeko
I guess it would change just once since after that it's -for example- a quicksilver, not an adapta-lichen

@Erky
The physics are quite weird especially if you are lagging even a tiny bit. I wish they'd act more like the howlizer homing projectile, I have way less bugs and glitches with those

I'd also like to see

I'd also like to see scuttlebots that drop deconstructor bombs as they walk around... that'd be fun to fight. Although we have enough construct, really, compared to the number of beasts. Would be nice to see perhaps.... chromalists that suicide like the OP said? Maybe with like some kind of gremlin suicide bomb strapped to the side of them, to give an excuse for them to fight alongside gremlins? And I'd like to see gremlins using pulsar/catalyzer/static capacitor, it'd be interesting to see an arena wave of all cata gremlins.... spamming charges.

It'll make Scuttlebots at Least a bit more Fearsome.

I also Agree with Everything else.
