[While reading I suggest playing this soundtrack]
Before we get started with what is obviously the best insectoid tunnel crawler ever I will give you the backstory because this is a serious case of “looks cooler in person”:
Refuge Station is occupied by the outcasts who have no other place to fit in. It is a haven for anybody regardless of background. There is a saying on Refuge: “Everyone here is running from something”.
Despite it’s large population, the station is largely unexplored because it is actually the hollowed remains of an ancient collossal robot.
The Robot’s old “veins” or maintenance hallways are used by the current residents of Refuge as a transportation network that they call “The Chutes”. Before a new segment is added to the network it has to be cleared by crawler machines like this one.
The Crawler is equipped an array of equipment to burn through metallic bulkheads and the Robot’s automated defenses.
These include the electromagnetic capacitor rifle mounted on the short arm in the front right (viewer’s left), The servo-claw mounted on the short arm in the front left (viewer’s right), The magma caster mounted on the long arm in the back right, and the point defense gatling mounted in the back left.
To begin I’ll post a basic front view:
Here’s a view at it’s left side with the back arms folded:
