The Midnighters will keep watch on Arachnos, striking them down when the time is right!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Who couldn't like Arachnos? They have Cap'n Mako, lord of the seven seas, the four oceans, and a number of inlets and fjords. He's Cap'n...of my heart.

I can't hail them.
I could [ice storm], [sleet] or even [blizzard] them if you'd like, though.

They looked better back in the '60s. All the fashion trends for today's modern henchmen have been a big step back in taste, if you ask me.

Id love to have those gloves n shoulder pieces.
Arachnos are amazing and love the work gone into them... Just wish the circle of 4 had their own sf's

I wonder if they might revisit 60s Arachnos in a future version of the Blockbuster Summer event as part of a retro spy movie?

That would be kind of cool.
Also, I'd like more spotlight on the Patron's sidekicks. They all have their own TF, but apart from Wretch and to a lesser degree Silver Mantis they don't have much personality. More of them!
(more of the patrons too)

Also, I kind of feel Arachnos has terrible designs. They put pointless spikes on everything that only succeed in letting grappling hooks snare around them, their "all shiny black and huge, unnecessary pipes" are an eyesore (and I already hate French Gothic architecture. I'm more an Art Nouveau or Art Deco man myself), their interior design sense is worse, they put in wire mesh floors with holes in them the size of golf balls and then force women to wear stiletto heels and end the legs of all their spider bots in tiny, sharp points.
And most of all: the fliers are ugly and impractical in design! Absolutely disgusting and offend my aesthetic senses!
I suppose being hideous and lacking any real fashion or artistic senses is the point of Arachnos though.
I should note that this might be because my aesthetic sense is painfully realistic at times. In a prose piece I was writing for RP, one of my characters was supposed to have trouble against fliers while piloting a highly customized Longbow Chaser. Problem was that in my mind, it was impossible for a much sleeker and jet-like VTOL to be easily beaten by things with no sense of aerodynamics and have been seen in game to have the speed and maneuverability of a rabid, pregnant, yak.

I would like the Heroes to have sidekicks like the villains do, and have much better cossies. GW, Sci, BS and Mako have much better cossies than the heroes.

Okay, let me just say this: I love Arachnos.
First, they have a great look. From Wolf Spiders to crabs and banes, they just look cool. (especially the Huntsmen) and the Fortunatas have an interesting look too (although their helmets raise so many questions RE: logistics) sure, the Mu look kind of weird and not in a good way (I mean, floating straitjacket-people that shoot lightning? Not really "arcane might" to me) but otherwise they've all got a great look.
I love the patrons and their sidekicks. By and large these guys just have so much more personality than their heroside counterparts (and almost as much as the praetorians) they're just a great group of villains, and they all have their own little theme going, and they again, look great.
So yeah, props to Arachnos for being a really cool-looking bunch of guys.
