Variants[edit]

SDR-5K - Replacing one medium laser with two machine guns means you still need room for the machine gun ammo. I don't have the TROs, so I can't fix it myself. Haruspex 08:57, 30 March 2008 (CDT)

checked HMP, It removes 2 JJs to make room for the ammo. I have noted this in the variant entry.CJ 10:50, 30 March 2008 (CDT)

Jumpjet question[edit]

"The Spider carries a grand total of eight jump jets, four each in either leg" , how does this work with 2 free critical slots in each leg? PS. should someone add a MWO apocrypha Anansi variant? --188.2.12.210 10:30, 9 September 2014 (PDT)

Yes, the text must be wrong. I'll see if I can find the record sheet and see where the jump jets are mounted. Also yes, MWO variants can (and should) be mentioned as such. Don't forget to include the apropriate "ApocryphalContentStart"/"ApocryphalContentEnd" tags. Frabby (talk) 01:27, 10 September 2014 (PDT)

Games News #3 - May 1985[edit]

It's clear from the "fluff" written about the Spider in it's first appearance in Game News #3, that this formed the core of the later description that appeared in TRO 3025. BLP's memory is, in fact, faulty in this case.
