New Dark Troop: The Automaton

dont u think it will be very hard to make its AI, and harder to understand and predict its AI

Anyone knows God of War Ghost of Sparta?Yep, when I saw the description of this troops it reminds me of those in GOWGOS enemy,same name and carries a gear around as a weapon.

I believe this concept of javing two health bars and having it deal less damge and move quicker is a great concept, but the idea of a mechanical troops doesn't really fit in with the theme of the game, maybe change it to a more relevant character.

After the armor is shed the favorite target will change to loot. It will be costly to produce and well worth the wait.
Hidden teslas will do double damage but will increase the damage per second very slightly. Inferno towers do half damage but slow the troops movement due to overheating. Rage spells do not work on the automaton as it is a robot only fueled by dark elixer.
This troop could be paired with wall breakers and goblins to break the walls clear the defences and steal the loot.
Other players could defend against the automaton by placing their inferno towers and hidden teslas close together so the the automaton will go slower while being hammered by the hidden Tesla.

Very good idea. Would be cool to be implemented in the game. But when could you produce it? How strong is the tank and would there be 1 better ressource-targeting troop or a few weaker ones?

I would say it becomes available at town hall 7 has 4 levels each level changes the color of the metal and color of eyes. It would only split into one resource seeking troop that is slower than a goblin but faster than an archer, does about minion damage also. The tank side would be stronger than a giant but weaker than all other tank troops ( to ensure that it dies and sheds its armor). Another stratagy would be pairing the automaton with other tank troops like giants or golems or pekkas, when most of the automatons have changed and start heading for the resources you still have the other tanks to absorb damage and distract towers.

As far as looks go I think level 1 should have a copper like metal and blue eyes. Level 2 would change the copper metal to an iron or steel color with purple eyes, the body would have small spikes pointing from the shoulders.
Level 3 would have a darkened steel body with orange eyes, the spikes would be larger now and slightly dark orange as is they are heated.
Level 4 would bring a big change, the body would be a completely black metal the eyes would turn blood red, the spikes would turn to red crystals like those on the xbow and cannons certain parts of the body would be golden perhaps the fists or jaw.

As for the looks after shedding the armour level 1 would be like a copper toned skeleton with blue eyes, level 2 would be a iron or steel colored skeleton but a little larger now with purple eyes, level 3 would be the same size as level 2 but darkened and with orange eyes now we can see orange light through the ribcage, level 4 would be the largest skeleton yet, about the size of the hog rider minus the hog, it would have a black skull with glowing red eyes a solid gold chest plate black upper arms and crystal red elbows to finger tips they would also have black legs.
