History

-...

One of general Ironhands finest creations, prior to his defection to the Conglomerate, the Widow was the first of the two mechs Ironhand built before he defected. Since he was initially approved to fully fund his cybernetic army, one of his priority projects was the creation of a multipurpose battle droid.

The Widow was designed for quicker hit-and-run tactics and striking from unexpected angles. Armed with two railguns, a patriot missile battery, and a built-in 3D Printer to create spider mines, high-explosive intelligent mines that will walk up to enemies and detonate itself. The mech's AI is purposely made to be a female because as Ironhand quoted to the press: "the Seraph needed a girlfriend". Strangely enough, the Widow's AI was rumored to start having some sort of human-like feelings for the Seraph's AI. If that's true, that means some sort of new tide of AI development will soon be revealed...

But with Ironhands defection the Aquilans had mothballed the Seraph and Widow, as Ironhand had taken the advanced AI with him and the Aquilans considered the maintenance of both too expensive. And was considering terminating both projects when the newly formed Task Force Eve, realizing they need a powerful unit to prevent the disaster that took the life of their previous commander Thorn, stepped in and proposed that both units were to be piloted by a human instead, with aid of an AI.

Though it took months of brainstorming and was only active near the end of the Mental Omega War. The Aquilans was able to turn the Widow into a pilotable spider tank.
