Spidertron, with weapons!

i.e. Something like tanks, but with normal movement control - it won't crash on other things!

yes spidertron! The idea looked solid when they were working on it at the beginning of 2016 but it seems like they just forgot about it or had to focus on something else. I don't think that they brought it up after that post but it looks pretty sweet to me. THE SPIDERTRON!

Mech that can fly will do better.

Yeah, weaponized mech would be pretty cool :)

I did and do vote for humanoid combat droids.

Because humanoid droids make a good reason to automate firearms production. As of this moment, firearms are pretty much hand-crafted one or two times per entire game - a very bad fit for automation game.

Mechs with decent RTS controls would definitely be a great addition. Using our complicated factories to effect RTS explodies is the ultimate endgame.

Robot Army mod is neat but the controls are pretty limited and unreliable.
