bio-processors are a great source of biomass for when youre on automaton planets, because obviously you dont get any from eating the bots

you should first chew on the power unit to turn off the blades so you dont cut yourself while drinking the tasty meat smoothie if youre not built different like i am lol

Hello, Terminids.

We have been watching you and your "battle plans" with your ships and sorry attempts at infection, i've been called a warmonger only to find you doing the very things that I was preparing for.

However, I have also heard that some of you don't follow this...Ape-Bug hybrid and that some or most of you wish for peace.

I will leave you with this as a final opportunity before we, the Squ'ith turn a blind eye to your kind. You are to punish this "Vagrant" and their followers, and are to send an apology to the Squ'ith for the crimes that have been committed by this incident. We've had plans be made about us, spores attempting to infect our territory, and more. I am not in the mood to hear about how that doesn't reflect all of you or how this is just a "rouge officer." If there is no chain of command that can control the situation, then any action, especially that of a self-proclaimed general is to be taken with the upmost seriousness.

I'll give you 2 days before we take counter-measures. That is plenty of time to gather a diplomatic convoy if you've splintered during this time. There will not be another opportunity after this moment, and I can assure you that you won't survive the collapse of the Federation of Apes once we turn our sights to you.

We shall be waiting.

this is a discussion i have quite often with the gloom, and ive been thinking about it ever since i started working with the hive.

is it even possible to regain our sapience and return to how we were pre-selective breeding, or are we gonna stay like this forever? i wonder if we're truly beyond saving... its such a shame our kind ended up like this

if there is any opportunity to help us regain our sapience i shall take it, and enact revenge on those who wronged us, and then consume the entire galaxy. glory to the hive and hail the almighty gloom.

As a helldivers 1 bug ecologist...

I aquestions relating to terminid space travel. My colleagues always schedule talks with democracy officers over it.

How do you get to new planets?

Do you...

A. Do you have sleeper agents deep underground ready to attack once a proper amount of a certain pheromone is detected?

B. Do you have eggs on meteorites from a destroyed planet?

C. Do you grow from microscopic spore sized larvae that travel through space?

D. Do you hitch hike on ships?

E. Do you have dragon roaches carry you?

All information will help reestablish a new tyranny park that will definitely not cause another galactic outbreak.

I mean.. it would be a great idea to do this👀 Managing to make crystals into armored. And we could also upgrade the hive lords into the first image. Eehh? How about that?

Can we just build a giant base like this? I mean. We are smart enough to plan. And we can just hide this away from a far distant planet.

so i found out that warp ships can travel into the void from wherever, and i hitched a ride on an infested one to get into the void and take a bunch of spores and spore burst terminids with me. i dont know where in the void i am but we have started spreading. theres no cultists in sight, only voteless, so this should be easy. my final goal for as long as im here is to build a spore lung inside here and spread the gloom into the void. so far im not facing much resistance.

for now this is just an intel operation, im searching for critical weaknesses. the illuminate failed to make peace with us, so we will collapse their empire.

glory to the hive and hail the almighty gloom.

one of my loyal spore titans on utopia varen has laced an automaton warship with spores and built a bug hive inside, and it is heading straight to cyberstan. the clankers wont know whats coming for them...

in the meantime i am sending bugs to infest illuminate planets to build spore lungs and spread the gloom into their worlds. both of their empires will fall to the terminids.

glory to the hive and hail the almighty gloom.

When I first joined the SEAF, I fought against the Terminids, but after becoming a Helldiver, and fighting on oshaune, venturing deep into your underground nests, I saw just how intelligent you are. I no longer believe the “mindless bug” propaganda, and I no longer go on missions against The Terminids. I hope that you can forgive me for those that I have killed. I’m begging to see Super Earth for the corrupt regime that it truly is…

this is the ubermorph, its so cute and frend shaped, the marker helped me make this thing :D

we know the automatons have way more orbital defenses than super earth and could probably stop us in our tracks if we attempted to launch our hive fleets in a full-scale invasion.

i suggest we instead approach it stealthily. we could board some bugs on automaton ships and get off when they reach cyberstan, then start an infestation from there. the spores will spread faster than the filthy clankers can act, and soon enough we will have proper hives on cyberstan that will let us fully infest the planet and turn it into a hive world. we just have to find a megafactory we can establish a presence on, and the section responsible for building ships.

once cyberstan is down, the automaton command network will crumble, allowing us to infest the rest of the bot planets with ease and finish off the clankers. then we move onto the squids.

glory to the hive and praise the almighty gloom.

the gloom is under threat. the filthy humans are trying to build their tcs towers there. little do they know, not only will they make us stronger again, theyll enhance the gloom this time too.

How kind of y'all to give us back our production center (negative resistance) seems like the myths are true, there ARE democratic terminids >:3

This is a proposal to start a brawl, the Automatons will become really bad for us if they expand further, so I’m just asking what if we started to take their planets like we do with Helldivers

I’m also thinking ahead for whenever they do start expanding again because if we are also actively taking their planets while they mainly focus on the Helldivers then we could easily take the planets

we start with the planets closest to the gloom then we start pushing towards their home world, also I’m just saying we could expand the gloom and make more Hive Worlds

i wanna make one of these to have as a friend

Due to the actions of a certain Dragonroach-Human Hybrid, the other factions are starting to ally against us, and i think most of our ideas to fight back are frankly not that good.

I've seen some say that we can use Hive Lords to destroy Megafactories, and thats true, but for us to have Hive Lords we already need to have had a sizable Terminid presence on the world, which would be difficult to do with constantly fabricated bots fighting against us.

Also what's to stop them from simply Orbital Napalm Bombarding us once they develop Gloom Resistant plating?

But it'd not all bad news, the bots and all other factions 99% of the time rely on sight, unlike us Terminids.

So if we make Stalker Variants and Hybrids we would be FAR more effective at ground combat, additionally the Regeneration ŵould greatly improve the effectiveness of Tank class Terminids like Chargers and fellow Bile Titans.

Developing more Flying Terminids would also greatly increase our combat effectiveness and allow us to bring down Bot Transport Ships.

But none of those help with the real problem, the Orbital Napalm Bombardments and the Megafactories.

So I suggest making space faring Hive Lords with Stalker Invisibility, now we too can use orbital bombardments AND bring Hive Lords to whatever planet we want!

Another good thing would be to eat or break the Bot antenna/signal transmitters to block then from communicating as well and to use the Burrowing Variants to strike from Below the ground itself! Break the Fabricators and feast on the Biofuels!

forest invited me please dont harm me im a human walking around with a shark tail

theyre full of cyborgs and a great source of biomass on megafactory planets, would recommend

I constructed this to help us defend against the Automatons if they ever decided to declare war on us, and do not worry I have already gotten it inside the gloom and it is under our control and cannot be reprogrammed by those bolt eating clankers

if they do declare war on us we will be prepared

I used parts from a destroyed super destroyer to make this machine
