Probably with a bit tighter spread if at all possible. But I'd like a shotgun toting bug. I'm possibly... not alone?

Sounds like a good idea, but I think shots would damage the tron itself.
If it works though, I am not sure as to how to add this too, would I rather make the same Insectitron but with shotguns or try to figure out something new like something inbetween of insecti and spider trons or it's own tier higher or lower of both?

Thanks for the suggestion though.

KS combat makes it possible to control the shotgun spread with the cursor position, you may be able to use something similar to that.

perhaps make it fill a more aggressive niche role. Where its faster but shorter legged to fit the shorter range of shotguns. So it can use hit and run tactics? The KScombat thing would be very neat, but no idea how that would work.

You can look at the code to immitate it.
