I've wondered the same, it would be really cool if this was an elite team of 3 or more EBs that would actually pose a challenge.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Hey geniuses, it's obviously the walkers are piloted by a whole team of people inside. So when you kill it you've actually killed a team of people.
I always assumed it was one of those ironic Supervillain moments of smartarsery.
"Okay, so defeat the Security Team and we're in? Easy!"
"GOLIATH WARWALKER ONLINE."
"...ah."

That's a bit unnecessarily jerkish.

Take a look at his other posts (assuming they haven't been deleted by mods), that's pretty much his MO.

I was going to say that always assumed you're fighting only one member of the security team, but now I like uberschveinen's interpretation better!
I always thought it was something of a joke; calling someone a "team all by himself".

It never even occurred to me until I saw this thread that there were some people who didn't interpret the 'Security Team' in this way. I thought it was a fairly straightforward joke.

@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

i think it would be fun if the spawning mechanics for the Security Team could be coded to spawn one Warwalker for every four players in the trial.

They are Security Guards! ... one is asleep in the back because he has another job to go to in the morning and the other left the site to go get coffee for everyone.
That struck me as odd to the first time I did a Lambda. Security TEAM does imply a team which would at least require two Warwalkers to qualify. Maybe wejust don't know enough about how a warwalker is created. Could it be that they are like some of those Anime robots .. 5 9CUs combine to form one elite boss Warwalker.. one for the body/head and the other 4 for arms and legs. NOT buying that explanation huh ... I didn't think so either lol

No we just need to add dialogue.
The league attacks the lone Securiity Warwork and as it battles them transmissions are overheard.
SG-1 "Post one to SG-2 get back here fast I have intruders at the entrance.
Sg-2 "No can do SG-1 I am tied up at the moment. I think this cute little MK Vickie likes me"
Sg-1 "SG-2 I have about two dozen intruders out here and I am taking damage fast. Flirt later I need help NOW!"
SG-2 "Okay! OKAY! Jeez don't be such a drama queen I am on my way. Do you copy Sg-1... Sg-1.... Hey what the heck is all that noise in the lab. Hey you guys are not allowed in here. I will have to report this to my super....." FREEEEEEM

I was on a Lambda team with Black Scorpion during its public beta and someone asked him about the "Security Team" and this was the response.
