Type-30 Mass Subdual Unit "Anansi"

Colloquially known as the Anansi, bugger, or spider, the Type-30 Mass subdual Unit is a automaton created by the Flagg Institute as a defensive tool for police, military, the private sector, etc.

Appearance
The Anansi takes the form of a arachnid-like robot with a body diameter of 30 cm and leg length of 30 cm. The body is hexagonal and comes in a variety of textures and colors for camouflage purposes. Optical clusters and high powered tasers are on all sides. A variation that uses pepper spray is also available.

Attack style
The Anansi always appears in mass groups; most formations will use no fewer than 20 of the machines. Installed onto the ceiling of a room or ship corridor, these robots lie in wait for an intruder. Once an intruder has been spotted by at least on of them, it will send a silent alarm to the others as well as the target's weak points. Anansis use CATSAIOS to quickly scan and locate either an organic enemy's nerve clusters or a synthetic enemy's power hubs.

Once located, the machines will drop down from the roof, using their Taser to bring the target into submission. The remaining drones will latch onto each other and the target to physically restrain them until proper authorities arrive. If set to "Lethal", the drones will self-destruct to eliminate the intruder.

Weaknesses
The Anansi is particularly fragile and has limited range. So until they make physical contact with the target, they are easy to kill. Also, they are only most effective in groups. They carry limited ammunition and any hunter worth their salt can resist their attacks long enough to destroy it.
