Name: Tarantutron (Pronounced Ta-ran-cho-tron)
Species: Giant Robot Spider
Alignment: GDF
Height: 40 meters
Length: 60 meters (not including legs)
Mass: 30,000 tons
Wingspan: None (no wings, flies with gravity bolt canons instead)
Intelligence: AI
Abilities:
1. Extaordinary Jumping Rank 1
2. Flight Rank 3
Attacks:
1. Grapple Hooks Rank 1. Fired from “mouth” and hind section of abdomen.
2. Webbing Rank 4. Fired from hind section of abdomen.
3. Gravity Bolts Rank 5. Fired from canons on hindmost legs and underside of thorax.
4. Stinger Launch Rank 3. Fired from hind section of abdomen.
5. Neurotoxin Injection Rank 3. Injected via stingers and “fangs” on “mouth.”
6. Sonic Boom Rank 2. Caused by flight.
7. Glue Launch Rank 1.
Special Ability:
1. Redundant Circuitry – Tarantutron was designed with highly complex and redundant circuitry, allowing it to survive extreme internal damage without loss of major motor functions.
2. Banshee Wail – Tarantutron can emit an extremely hight pitched shrieking noise that stuns the nervous system of any organic creature within a 200 mile radius, rending them paralyzed for Tarantutron's turn. As the weapon needs to charge, it can only be used once every six turns.
Weakness:
1. Electricity – Electricity damages Tarantutron more than organic creatures, decreasing his reaction time in low amounts and fully paralyzing him in high amounts.
2. Water – Tarantutron cannot swim and is fully immobile in deep water.
Finisher:
1. Exploratory Surgery – Tarantutron subdues his foe with neurotoxins and webbing, then tears them apart with its various arms out of curiousity.
Personality: Having incredibly advanced artificial intelligence, Tarantutron is more than a simple combat drone, being an incredibly curious creature as well as a tenacious and scrappy fighter. The robot’s A.I. is so advanced that some, including its creator Basil Heron, speculate that it may achieve sentience at one point, a theory that frightens some less optimistic people. Inquisitive to a fault, Tarantutron is also incredibly crafty on the battle field as well as very personable, often gaining allies in a fight quicker than most kaiju.

Origin: Tarantutron started as Basil Heron’s pet project. He had always wanted to create a robot with advanced enough A.I. that it could actually function as a thinking, learning creature. Technology was behind this goal, however – the amount of circuitry alone required to house such a process would be astronomical. Perhaps in the year 2400 computer chips could be made small enough to house such a thinking machine in a reasonable space, but that was a long ways off. To ever meet this dream, Basil would need to build a robot of colossal size, and surely no one would ever pay for such a mammoth machine.
Then kaiju began to attack the world, and suddly his dream didn’t seem so crazy.
Basil quickly began working on a giant kaiju fighting mecha, one that would use nonlethal measures to secure its gigantic prey. Realizing the opportunity at his hands, he also designed it to house A.I. that was leaps and bounds beyond any made before. The result was a hyper intelligent spider robot, which he dubbed Tarantutron. Now armed with a giant mecha of his own, Basil had his creation registered as an ordained kaiju defense weapon by the GDF, making sure it was never sent out without his approval.
Meanwhile Tarantutron began to assimilate data, building thoughts upon thoughts and slowly developing into a new being… with goals of its own.
