starship troopers bug

On the 2nd film if I remember rightly there was an infiltrator bug, but it had control bugs attached to it. If I am wrong tell me but I am sure of it. Anyway that would be a nice thing to have

 

[Sharkman]

there is already a infiltrator bug

 

[Denny crane]

read the thing it says with control bugs attched to it. it had like a long spine where the control bugs sort of fell of of it from there but it was in the form of a human before that

 

[Denny crane]

does anyone know what i am on about or is it a figment of my imagination??

 

[Mr Evil]

yup they were more zombie like..

look in arachnid army book i think thye acount for them in there already

God I am so bad at explaining things. The creature hid inside a human like an infiltrator bug, all infiltrator bugs hide inside the skin of a human and then burst out and kill them right.
The control bugs take over the mind of the person it attacks and so makes them almost zombifide.
This bug was like an infiltrator it hid inside the human and then burst out. It did not attack it has like a massive long spine where there were control bugs sort of attached to it, they dropped off and they then tuck control of the people.
Big long spine, control bugs attached and sort of like an infiltrator but it is not one.

Umm... What You describe is the movie version of the control bug, based on the SST-Terran Ascendancy game rather than the one within the TT game itself.

oh well if i remmember rightly it had little bugs drop off of it but i can except that just seamed a bit to big to be a control bug

Essentially, the idea for the movie was that a control bug would, if it lived long enough inside a human host, become a much larger one that contained the smaller Control Bugs inside it. Also, the Infiltrator doesn't hide inside a human like the chestbursters in Alien, but rather it is a huge bug that wedges itself in a human suit of body armor (which is head to toe so nothing shows). The humans see one of their 'missing in action' buddies, and let the Infiltrator in. The infiltrator then bursts out of the suit, unfolds to its full height, and proceeds to kill everything nearby

 

[Denny crane]

oh okay well that is still cool I mean if you start the game with MI or skinny units controlled by control bugs you should have that instead of the small one then would you agree.

 

[Galatea]

He's thinking about that one:

 

[Denny crane]

Yes, yes that's the one; I think that would be such a nice model for the game. it is gorey and sick and well generally bugish. Don’t you think so to?

 

[Cliff]

:shock: I don't remember seeing that thing at all...
