SC2Mapster Contest - Themed Creature - Theme : War Machine

There's a contest to create a Themed "Creature" going on at www.sc2mapster.com . It can be any theme as long as it fits. Rules are simple. Both Data and Triggers allowed, no imported stuff, limited to using any assets made by Blizzard FOR SC2 (including Blizzard mods), 2 abilities minimum for the creature.

I decided to go for a "War Machine" theme. It's an automated Battle Drone named "Golem" with a ridiculous amount of fire power

It's Main Ability called War Machine, selects the proper amount of ammo to use, based on a few factors: It requires a minimum of 10 targets at the scan site. Extra ammo used if total health of all units at scan site total 2000 or more. All weapons cycle randomly between all targets. Less targets remaining = focus firing.

It's super ability sends the Battle Drone into orbit, where it unleashes an Orbital Bombardment on the selected area.

The last ability, I just threw in there real fast. I had been using it as a test ability to test sounds and effects. It's the final effect of the Orbital Bombardment. It needed a method of self defense.

Passive ability, the Battle Drone has a radar that detects enemy units and buildings in a large area.

This is the model for the Port Junker, right? how did you put the guns on it?

[Valaman]

@jabbernaut52733 Yes it is the port junker, though the model is called Nomad in the editor. It has the critter robot on the front and the guns are the New Folsom Turrets. I used SiteOpAttachments to attach the guns to the regular port junkers, attached the port junkers to each others attachment points that move during the morph, and attached the critter bot at the "head". Then it was just a matter of animating each port junker and freeze the animation to pull out its weapons.
