          Edit:
          Good reference! I've never played Halo, although the original Gestalt unit was inspired by Boston Dynamics' robots:

          Do you think that we should choose the Cerberus design or the first one? Or keep on trying?

                Damn, that's looking good!

                Also, whatever the Vortex Singularity does, I'm almost sure it quickly sends machines to alternate dimensions, where they get destroyed because of unknown reasons.

                      @Ddc_Cl Well, yeah. This thing. The Vortex Singularity fires some sort of a sphere which is black. I guess it either sucks everything in or sends everything to a different dimension, but since I can't find a damn piece of information about it...

                      yay.gorilla

                        Cerberus reminds me of that Assault troop transport? in C&C? that transports smaller units but lets them fight. so it basically gets so many slots, and then can fire a weapon of each type. Bit like a moving bunker from terran/starcraft

                          I actually agree with making machines have switchable weapons. Did anyone ever play Warzone 2100?

                          somewhere in it lets you customize body/wheels/weapon to make your own units pretty much.
                          I dont want to go crazy with that, but having choose-able weapons works well. I mean you could do the same thing with body/locomotion/weapons but then there'd be no point to each of the units. It might make creating units simpler.

                            Ooo ooo! that fan one gave me an idea.

                            I present the "TRI-Flyer" or "The flea" for the individual ones.
                            On on their own they can climb terrain and they hop to move around, but cant fly, but when three join together they can fly and move quicker and pick up other units! but they cant attack, unless you keep them a "flea" and change out their adapter for a weapon? alternatively it could be a faster scout.. you could disconnect them with a "flea" button and they'd pop apart mid air. giving them a better chance to partially survive in a bad situation.
