That was Manticore.
I loved fighting Freakshow only because of the very first time I encountered them. I had won the battle and had turned to leave when one rezzed right up behind me. I still beat it but it definitely caused me to soil my armor. I miss this every day.
That reminded me of the first time I encountered an ArchnoBot. It was in a gray cave, probably Steel Canyon, anyway, I don't like spiders, and seeing a giant one crawling towards me, nearly made me scream like a little girl. And I wasn't running a sonic blaster.
I would take my plant troller 'Hot Pistil' back into Bricks and wipe out Council mobs! It was so much fun to see a Confused mob being crushed by creepers and lashed by my Flytrap
I liked CoT. I used to love those Oranbega missions where if you died, they took your body to a prison. Majadi was an archaeologist, so they kinda fit into part of her story.
I once declared war on Malta....if i ever saw them on the street, i would stop and "arrest" them.
LOL. The first time I saw a Freak rez I was like "What the f**!" This game had so many great mob types and looks - I kind of liked the Carnies look the best.
