Slaughterspine

So, while we know that GAIA based their robot in animal morphologies, we can also see that she did not do a one to one copy. Some machines seem more "inspired" by animal morphologies than an exact replica of said animal in machine form. Not only that but some machines kinda look like a combination of various types of animals.

The Stalker is obviously inspired in jaguars and pumas, but also depict some reptilian attributes. The Rollerback resembles a pangolin but also resembles an Ankylosaurus with its "hammer" tail. This got me thinking in the Slaugherspine, clearly inspired by the Spinosaurus (my favorite dinosaur) and how its depiction is outdated. If I recall correctly, the spinosaurus in JP3 was build with parts of a baryonix and at the time paleontologist didn't have the entire skeleton of the spinosaurus aegyptiacus. We now do and understand that its completely different from other therapod dinosaurs... which kinda doesn't fit the Slaughterspine if it was a one to one recreation from Hephaestus.

But Hephaestus could easily just mix parts of all dinosaurs of the known spinosauridea family, having this hybrid similar to JP3. It makes more sense that the Slaughterspine is more specialized for combat in the ground since not a lot of humans have developed the ability to travel oceans or in very deep deltas and rivers.

All of this just to say that the Slaughterspine is even more similar to the Spinosaurus from JP3 than we knew about. Possibly even having the same explanation of being a "hybrid" after more knowledge on Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus is discovered.

I came up with one of the deadliest combos ever: the slaughterhawk.

Since the slaughter spine is based on spinenosaurs can in life it was able to swim or go into water is it to heavy or it just can't swim which is a bad move on Hephaestus part.

It wouldn't suprise me if sylens teaches more people to overide the machines which would cause lots of conflict if combat class maxhines get involed like the thunder jaw,fireclaw and slaughter spine could be a nice plot line for dlc.
