This would be the defender caste, and although slow and bulky, they make up for this for their hardened exoskeleton.
They are blue and are seen in some early AVP games. (We can bend them abit)
All the canon-wize things I could find on it. http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Defender
They would be slower than a boiler but with equal armor to a crusher, and a low attack damage and can still do hive-things like building and weeding.
What do you think?

Re: Add a new T2 caste for Drones
Don't know if you've played it, but in the AvP game (The 2010 video game), this is actually the function the Praetorian serves. Hence why they're called Praetorians - Named after the Roman elite Legionnaires called the Praetorian Guard. They were tasked with protecting the emperors (Or holding them hostage, depending on the Praetorian Guard's leader, lel.) But more seriously; These are actually the caste assigned to protecting the hive and thus; the Queen.

The function of these castes would be to do what sentinel is suppose to, guard the hosts and make sure any that get out are put back in. They could also function without the armor and just a faster drone.Jess wrote:Don't know if you've played it, but in the AvP game (The 2010 video game), this is actually the function the Praetorian serves.

So....a T2 crusher? This sounds horrible without more explanation.

Re: Add a new T2 caste for Drones
Not sure what the point of this caste would be. Crushers do the same, but far better. Denied.
