Steel Bladewhirler
Some Slashers, instead of developing two limbs, develop a multitude of limbs in an erratic fashion. While the Steelhive is at a loss to explain these anomalies, that does nothing to prevent them from sending these mutant drones into combat anyways. The robots themselves are quite powerful, combining Swarm and Berserker abilities. While extremely powerful at the beginning of combat, its power gradually lowers as the battle continues and its limbs are removed, one by one, until it is no longer able to fight and is easy to destroy.
Special Notes: The swarming attacks of this unit become less deadly whenever its members are wounded. Whenever its berserk attack is used, this unit continues to push the attack until either it or its enemy lies dead.
