Hermit Crab Idea

So, weird idea. Now that we have giant hermit crabs in the game, can we turn this:

Into this:

Explanation for the tank on its back now? Bunch of crazy trappers have tamed a giant hermit crab using a beta wave emitter and decide to jury rig a tank unto it as a new shell (The fog does weird things man). You can either take out the crab itself, OR the beta emitter and make it go berserk on it's handlers.

| It's a cool idea, but I'm not sure how the crab would be firing the tank. I suppose you could have the shell/tank be controlled by a Trapper. Ergo killing the Trapper on top of the tank stops it from firing, but the crab is still alive. This could also work vice versa, stopping the crab prevents the tank from moving. I'm assuming the scripting and animation for this would be a horrifying task, but honestly haven't the slightest clue.

 

This also comes off as more of a one time, legendary/boss type to me. Not sure if that's what you were intending it to be? If there are going to be different variants of hermit crabs I'd say using the following as potential shells would work best: a Mobile Home, half a Bus, half a Truck Trailer and the APC.

 

Regardless, it's still a pretty interesting idea and would to see it come to life. |

I really think the illustration depicts a tank rolling over a giant crab, but... cool idea. I'd like to see a giant hermit crab that burrows inside wrecked vehicles and busts out when you think it's just the usual wreckage...

Illustration definitely shows the crab using the tank as a shell.

 

Definitely a hermit crab with a tank for a shell. It's from Metal Slug.

Basically that, have the turret be like a separate limb or like the gunner position on a vertibird. Sure, it might be a scripting nightmare, but considering that this game wasn't out for more then a month before the first mods came out, and considering this communities history in making crazy mods, I don't think that's much of an issue for someone truly interested in this kind of idea. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of the least complicated things to be requested that actually bears fruit.

 

If nothing else Nocte, its just to give Fallout some Metal Slug love.
