GET RID OF!

Spider Tanks are the all-terrain combat units of the Decepticlone army. Large quadruped assault units, Spider Tanks can traverse uneven terrain more easily than most other Decepticlones, though they aren't terribly fast. They don't really need to be, however, as their legs are equipped with large blaster-deflecting armor panels, making hitting their vulnerable main body difficult.

Several Spider Tanks were crawling about, blasting Autobot soldiers as they entered Decepticon territory in the hopes of tracking down an ancient Mini-Con relic. The Balance of Power

This comic was written as a tie-in to the Armada video game, but its details differ from the introduction seen in the game itself. See below for the Spider Tanks' role in the game.

Spider Tanks are capable of spotting a target from far greater distances than normal Decepticlones, often sighting an Autobot before the intended target is aware a Spider Tank is nearby. They are also capable of picking off said targets with remarkable ease, even when they are running at top speed. Their attacks can be avoided (barely) by staying close and running around them in circles, preventing them from getting a hit with their standard shots; Spider Tanks will not try to use their charge-shot when under these conditions.

Spider Tanks typically spray rapid laser fire bursts at their targets, followed with a charged-up powerful single shot that can send even a large Autobot flying backwards out of control. Although they do not possess eight legs, the moniker "Spider" Tank is still valid due to the way in which they move. Being as heavy as they are, Spider Tanks are not affected by Autobots ramming into them in vehicle mode. In addition, do not try to physically combat the Spider Tanks. They will charge up their beam and send you flying backwards. Transformers
