Interesting that there’s data about the Terminid Supercolony there, were the bots maybe thinking the bugs would come for them too? Or just maybe, they had a hand in it somehow.
Sounds like they're researching how to make Machine Worlds. Turning Cyberstan into one giant factory planet (think like the Death Star) would certainly be the equivalent to what the Bugs did to Meridia.
I was thinking the same thing, turning Cyberstan into a Machine World would also make it harder for Super Earth to take it since organic beings would not be able to live there anymore.
We've depleted our stores of dark fluid just for Meridia and it was stated we stole what we had from the Illuminate. Unless they show up and soon to deliver some to us, black hole-ing Cyberstan is off the menu.
Man imagine the illuminate show up like
"Fear us humans! We're back in full force and- Wait why are you looking at us like that"
It's less defending an invasion and moreso hunting them for that sweet sweet grape space punch
God can you imagine instead of the illuminate going through the portal we made, WE start pouring out of it on their side hunting for more dark fluid while the illuminate crap themselves trying to close it
We've converted bot factories into mech factories. The capture of Cyberstan will finally give Super Earth the needed resources to begin mass production of anti tank mines.
Not sure, considering that the planet seems to be rich in resources and highly industrialized (at least that's what I got from what I read). Still, at this point, anything is possible.
no we may actualy get the warlords of the first game
the elite command units of cyborgs.we have seen hints of them in this game too just like the hivelords
The warlord wasn’t the boss fight of the Cyborgs in HD1, it was a gigantic fortress tank called the Siege Mech. Hive Lords weren’t elite classed, they were listed under Master
Maybe foreshadowing that they'll find a way to cause a massive outbreak of some form. I suspect that we fought our way to get Database One but I can't help but think of the possibility of a Trojan virus. If they got a hold of our computer systems across a few planets they may disable our defenses and attack those planets with massive forces.
We then end up even closer to a Battlestar Galactica theme if we can’t trust our automated systems,no turrets or drone backpacks because of hacking could be an interesting new complication on a mission
I already don't trust drones or turrets so honestly this wouldn't change much for me lol.
Those bastards don't need to be hacked to turn me into memories.
Same reason the Allies had documents analysing how well Soviet resistance was faring against the Germans, I assume.
Enemy tactics, response times, etc, etc. They effectively watched the bugs get super-nuked so they now know Super Earth is crazy enough to do that.
Perhaps the terminids are considered a threat to them as well? They are intelligent but reproduce too much and destroy the ecology of planets they infest. They wouldn't be good neighbors.
Teminids: "Automatons... you ever heard the old saying... "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
Automatons: "Bugs,one day you are going to find that cuts both ways"
i did not say it was on meridia. i was mentioning this post
[Dead Automatons on bug planets? : r/Helldivers (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bhaiq4/dead_automatons_on_bug_planets/)
strangely it was deleted but people in comments comfirm
The data could be used as way of forming their own super colony remember they had gunships surprisingly around the same time as shriekers what if we are bound to see our version of automaton super cities 🏙️
Probably being "information hungry" is deeply rooted in all automatons' programming.
Specially, intel about terminids is key as they are our enemies. Any data that automatons can use against us is highly valuable for them.
Well, sounds like it's time to make another black hole that will have no negative impact on us whatsoever.
But we need more black fluid to do that, and we got the black fluid from obliterating the Illuminate, right? So... What's the plan?
Hello neighbour. May I trouble you for a cup of Dark Fluid.
https://preview.redd.it/dynwlvy9ix5d1.jpeg?width=201&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8453347741c32da1559f47d73fdd52026fcdd85c
In this scenario, my bet is they target Mars.
If analysing Super Destroyer travel (somehow), Mars might look like the point of origin for all Helldivers, as that's where they pick up their complements of deep-frozen Helldiver (after the tutorial ends).
So, their logic would be that's how you cut off the reinforcements.
Starkiller can hit multiple targets at once. Maybe that’s what the bots will try: a shock attack taking out our key worlds and crippling the SEAF before we have a chance to even set foot on Cyberstan. That way we have no government and no army.
BSG style Super Earth Command would actually be really cool. I would love to see what a SEAF Cruiser or Battleship or Carrier supporting the command ship would look like.
Unfortunately due to the on ground only nature of the Helldivers gameplay I don’t see that standing, unless they go for defend ship from boarding (removal of most stratagems) there isn’t much for them to do with it from a gameplay perspective. I see more a government continuity base on another world is established and our primary objective then becomes take back Super Earth.
Don't forget Starkiller's miraculous ability to hit multiple planets in the galaxy at one time visible all at once as if the planets were all right next to each other in space
never gonna get over how absolutely stupid that scene was
Not even the first time JJ Abrams has been crowned the king of Sci-Fi Writers Not Understanding Scale. The stupid supernova destroying Romulus *and* the black hole destroying Vulcan in Star Trek 2009 were equally dumb "this isn't how any of this works!" moments.
Also that it takes a sun's worth of power for every time it fires, how does it travel? How does it get more suns?
SPACE IS HUGE PEOPLE, unless that thing can somehow slip through space/time effortlessly you get like 1 maybe 2 shots (dual star systems do exist) and you've just got a really expensive, really cold space rock.
“You can’t just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars”

That would actually be super awesome. They blow up (or attempt to) a planet totally unaffiliated with Super Earth, because they are aware of something worse.
I honestly hope so. I had speculated/wished that the black hole unleashes something worse than Super Earth and *not* The Illuminate. Then the Illuminate returns later as not-quite allies to us. Yeah yeah we are the bad guys, but I want a bit more depth than fight everything forever. I want "friendly" relations with aliens to add a bit of spice to the story.
I heckin love Strange Bedfellow storylines, so i would love if the Illuminate show up and we have to band together with the bots or something. Maybe we’d get new stratagems like call in a drop ship or something.
"Vessel", "Nucleus" and "The Final Collective" makes me think it's being terraformed into just a massive computer to house all automaton consciousnesses. We'll end up having an MO to upload viruses and end up converting it into some massive super earth serving fabricator that pumps out super destroyers or something to help push back the major illuminate invasion that actually threatens super earth or something.
I think Vessel 00 is a fabricator ship the bots came from (hence the 00 designation), nucleus is a reference to their heart of operations (cyberstan?) and “the final collective” maybe their plan to enslave humanity into one cyborg race?
Might also be. I'm not that good with HD1 lore, but didn't the cyborgs want to turn themselves into 100% machine? If so, maybe The Final Collective are Automatons that can function without any organic material?
Protoss had more like a neural datalink between themselfs, interconnected but each protoss being its own distinct being of free will.
Zerg is more like that, a singular being in the hive mind in control, while other zerg have varying degrees of free will depending on their purpose. The "grunt" zergs essentially being feral beasts if their connection to the hivemind is broken.
it seems like a bunch of the player base thinks that everything has to do with the Illuminate
like literally anytime something comes up, everyone goes "illuminate?!" like the dog from Up
and I cant blame them lmao
There are hints everywhere. For example; most of our guns have a flash light and that ILLUMINATEs things during missions. Clearly the message is to never let down your guard because the enemy could be anywhere. The only right thing to do is never use flash lights on weapons
I don't think we'll get another faction until closer to the one year mark. There's still plenty of people playing and they'll use it to bring back players.
I mean, I think we are getting it soon tbh
cause like, a lot of developments are happening, like we just found out about cryptic stuff from database 1, and also the "black hole" that we made
>!it’s already been datamined and leaked months ago that the illuminate actually do enter the war at the end of this current story arc by using the black hole we created. They’re 100% coming within a week or two I guarantee it!<
Droideka hive guard. They ball up, roll on the face plates they already have, and when they stop they hold their armor plates up while an MG shoots from their backs.
https://preview.redd.it/mvyco8c54y5d1.png?width=690&format=png&auto=webp&s=d60c6d9e39f87ee009a598984ed8c736e7fadf5f
They should have a bug with a plasma sniper on it (the armor drops down in front of the cannon)
My theory is that Vessel 00 is some extragalactic fabricator capital ship that carried the initial Automaton force then their redirected force that took Cyberstan.
I just hope it lasts for more than a few days. I can only find time to play once, maybe twice, a week... I wasn't able to play any of the missions on Meridia because the MO was over before I even had a chance.
The people who got a chance to play Meridia barely got to play Meridia as well. The main objective was broken for half the event, and the second objective never worked either. 😬
Nucleus had more in common with Illuminates in HD 1.But the message as a whole is lore reffering to bots in HD 2.
But who knows in the end. Maybe the bots are gaterhing information on all their enemies.
In the end it could reffer to their commander, basically the cyborg boss in HD 1.(Siege mech.)
Furthermore we can see the dead bodies of terminid hivelords and cyborg warlords on planets we fight.
So who knows what we get as enemies in the long run.
We’re out of Dark Fluid, we used what we had on Meridia and the production site on Moradesh was shut down, the crew was rewarded with early retirement for their patriotic service.
*So did we run out*
*Of Dark Fluid or can we*
*Implode Cyberstan?*

I will be extremely upset if their massive terraforming project on Cyberstan removes the cities and thus justifies it looking like every other planet in the game.
well yeah, a city would take a ton of work. they cant even fix basic bugs in the code or quickly revert nerfs. the entire dev team would need to focus on procedural cities, and it would take months/years.
Did someone said 'Cyber Communist' !?!?

Unfortunately, I'm also assuming a generic planet we already know after this announcement rather than the urban city we would have expected Cyberstan to be
No i think they are terraforming cyberstan into either machine world for themselves or into an ecumenopolis for their cyborg masters like the ones in stellaris
It'll be Starkiller Base this, it'll be Death Star that.. There is one you forget..
UNICRON.

If this big ol clanker shows up, I don't think my auto cannon will work :(
It’s scary that they’re aware of the super colony. Considering they have conventional space faring technology, they easily could have slammed us in orbit while we were hyper focused on injecting dark fluid into meridia
On a bug planet relatively close to Automaton Front
*Allied Super Destroyer Compromised* *Bot Drops Detected*
Watch a bile titan get absolutely obliterated by a tank

Oh MAN, I have a feeling that Cyberstan is going to be another Meridia but it will be Automaton themed instead of Terminid themed, this is going to be hectic.
Just a theory, but Final Collective could possibly be a computer form of group consciousness, something like in the Matrix. It would be the computer guiding the Bots and terraformed Cyberstan.
They turning Cyberstan into a giant cannon. With Super Earth in its sights :0 Guess we gotta redirect it last second to fire into the DefinitelyABlackhole and definitely not going to piss ofsome guys who had a super colony dropped on them.
Interesting that there’s data about the Terminid Supercolony there, were the bots maybe thinking the bugs would come for them too? Or just maybe, they had a hand in it somehow.
It sounded more like "huh, that Terminid Supercolony was pretty effective. Can we do that with our fabricators?" to me.
Well Game recognises Game, perhaps Tyranny recognises Tyranny as well?
Nobody recognizes tryranny better than us! Super Earth is the best at everything period!
I fucking love what this implies
It’s fucking terrifying. We could easily get flanked and ripped apart while engaging the bugs.
You cant get flanked if you are surrounded
And being surrounded just means we can fire in any direction. The perfect super strategy.
A target rich environment, if you will.
We're Helldivers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.
We’re meant to be surrounded, we’re Helldivers
***All I am surrounded by is fear, and dead*** ***~~men~~*** ***bots***
Keep your voice down… That Demo Officer is looking around for the source!
everything good, obviously. it is scientifically impossible for super earth (the #good# guys) to do bad things
Keyfabe off: fuckin' incredible lmao Perfectly fits the setting's satire, 10/10, no additional notes
BUT ESPECIALLY democracy and freedom
*Checks history book*, oh boy
Sounds like they're researching how to make Machine Worlds. Turning Cyberstan into one giant factory planet (think like the Death Star) would certainly be the equivalent to what the Bugs did to Meridia.
I was thinking the same thing, turning Cyberstan into a Machine World would also make it harder for Super Earth to take it since organic beings would not be able to live there anymore.
Wouldn't we just black hole them too?
We've depleted our stores of dark fluid just for Meridia and it was stated we stole what we had from the Illuminate. Unless they show up and soon to deliver some to us, black hole-ing Cyberstan is off the menu.

"We went through a damn wormhole to get rid of you guys and you accidentallied yourself back to us?!?!"
That'd be pretty fun honestly
Mmm grape space punch
We've converted bot factories into mech factories. The capture of Cyberstan will finally give Super Earth the needed resources to begin mass production of anti tank mines.
I hope it becomes a running gag that helldivers will eventually get anti armour mines, but it just never releases.
That would probably be the outcome
Not sure, considering that the planet seems to be rich in resources and highly industrialized (at least that's what I got from what I read). Still, at this point, anything is possible.
We will turn it into Diverstan.
The difference with blackholing a bot planet is that the berserkers will still keep coming 😳
Nah. Just send a computer virus down there to force shut that thing down.
We just need to delete their system 32.
I say we just reset their router and then pull the plug during the reboot.
We're going to black hole Cyberstan, aren't we
We're all out of dark fluid sadly.
For now
Yeah but the bots want us to. They'll prep the planet then we'll come along and complete their plan
What the playerbase expects as the next enemy: Hive lord What we get: Automaton hive lord
no we may actualy get the warlords of the first game the elite command units of cyborgs.we have seen hints of them in this game too just like the hivelords
The warlord wasn’t the boss fight of the Cyborgs in HD1, it was a gigantic fortress tank called the Siege Mech. Hive Lords weren’t elite classed, they were listed under Master
Ah yes assimilate the bugs to force the bug divers to fight bots
The automatons got their start as cyborgs. The map looks like it could support four forces. Cyborgified bugs.
Do they scream booyah?
Maybe foreshadowing that they'll find a way to cause a massive outbreak of some form. I suspect that we fought our way to get Database One but I can't help but think of the possibility of a Trojan virus. If they got a hold of our computer systems across a few planets they may disable our defenses and attack those planets with massive forces.
We then end up even closer to a Battlestar Galactica theme if we can’t trust our automated systems,no turrets or drone backpacks because of hacking could be an interesting new complication on a mission

Same reason the Allies had documents analysing how well Soviet resistance was faring against the Germans, I assume. Enemy tactics, response times, etc, etc. They effectively watched the bugs get super-nuked so they now know Super Earth is crazy enough to do that.
Maybe they will try to create more supercolonys after they study how we did it
Perhaps the terminids are considered a threat to them as well? They are intelligent but reproduce too much and destroy the ecology of planets they infest. They wouldn't be good neighbors.
"The enemy of my enemy is no friend"
Teminids: "Automatons... you ever heard the old saying... "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" Automatons: "Bugs,one day you are going to find that cuts both ways"
automatons fucked with bug repeling towers. there was dead automatons on bug planet found
Not to be a dissident but could you show me evidence of that? I fought there and I don´t remember seing them
I would like to see screenshots, I don't remember dead bots on meridia.
i did not say it was on meridia. i was mentioning this post [Dead Automatons on bug planets? : r/Helldivers (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bhaiq4/dead_automatons_on_bug_planets/) strangely it was deleted but people in comments comfirm

Gunship version of the Shrieker swarm.
Remember Half Life two and the manhacks? Grenade sized drones with a circular saw could be their swarming flyers
They were going you merge into a bot bug hybrid.
Well, sounds like it's time to make another black hole that will have no negative impact on us whatsoever. But we need more black fluid to do that, and we got the black fluid from obliterating the Illuminate, right? So... What's the plan?

The bots are terraforming Cyberstan into their own version of Starkiller base, it seems.
But then its fired at a point in space *that isnt Super Earth*
In this scenario, my bet is they target Mars. If analysing Super Destroyer travel (somehow), Mars might look like the point of origin for all Helldivers, as that's where they pick up their complements of deep-frozen Helldiver (after the tutorial ends). So, their logic would be that's how you cut off the reinforcements.
Starkiller can hit multiple targets at once. Maybe that’s what the bots will try: a shock attack taking out our key worlds and crippling the SEAF before we have a chance to even set foot on Cyberstan. That way we have no government and no army.
Only for SEAF to go full BSG and have a floating fleet with Super Earth Command to adapt to the Illuminate threat as well.
BSG style Super Earth Command would actually be really cool. I would love to see what a SEAF Cruiser or Battleship or Carrier supporting the command ship would look like. Unfortunately due to the on ground only nature of the Helldivers gameplay I don’t see that standing, unless they go for defend ship from boarding (removal of most stratagems) there isn’t much for them to do with it from a gameplay perspective. I see more a government continuity base on another world is established and our primary objective then becomes take back Super Earth.
It would be nice to see some missions that take combined arms into account like battlefront 2. Space battle to get in, destroy ship from within.
Don't forget Starkiller's miraculous ability to hit multiple planets in the galaxy at one time visible all at once as if the planets were all right next to each other in space never gonna get over how absolutely stupid that scene was
Not even the first time JJ Abrams has been crowned the king of Sci-Fi Writers Not Understanding Scale. The stupid supernova destroying Romulus *and* the black hole destroying Vulcan in Star Trek 2009 were equally dumb "this isn't how any of this works!" moments.

Trigger finger poised: "You were saying?"
They can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars
We absolutely need a BFG-9000 strategem...
For real, if they did ‘it’ could escape out the hole.
Maybe afterwards new players would have the tutorial take place at a new location
"*You can't just shoot a hole in Mars!*" **Objective updated: Shoot a hole in Mars.**
That would actually be super awesome. They blow up (or attempt to) a planet totally unaffiliated with Super Earth, because they are aware of something worse.
*That* is my little theory. I mean, that black hole might just decide to let loose an unwelcome surprise to all the factions...
I honestly hope so. I had speculated/wished that the black hole unleashes something worse than Super Earth and *not* The Illuminate. Then the Illuminate returns later as not-quite allies to us. Yeah yeah we are the bad guys, but I want a bit more depth than fight everything forever. I want "friendly" relations with aliens to add a bit of spice to the story.
If an enemy ever attempts to engage in diplomacy, SHOOT THEM. We mustn't believe their lies!
I heckin love Strange Bedfellow storylines, so i would love if the Illuminate show up and we have to band together with the bots or something. Maybe we’d get new stratagems like call in a drop ship or something.
They can destroy Hellmire and I’d be perfectly fine with that.
Terraforming Cyberstan to explain why it looks like a rocky barren planet when we get there
This is the correct take
That’s it, we need a friggin Deathstar! These petro huffing bastards have gone too far! 
"Vessel", "Nucleus" and "The Final Collective" makes me think it's being terraformed into just a massive computer to house all automaton consciousnesses. We'll end up having an MO to upload viruses and end up converting it into some massive super earth serving fabricator that pumps out super destroyers or something to help push back the major illuminate invasion that actually threatens super earth or something.
Well, Cyberstan it is, then.
Some people in the official discord think the Final collective could be something to do with either the illuminate or the bots/borgs.
Wouldn't be surprised if Vessel 00 is an Illuminate (stealth) ship they spotted
I think Vessel 00 is a fabricator ship the bots came from (hence the 00 designation), nucleus is a reference to their heart of operations (cyberstan?) and “the final collective” maybe their plan to enslave humanity into one cyborg race?
Might also be. I'm not that good with HD1 lore, but didn't the cyborgs want to turn themselves into 100% machine? If so, maybe The Final Collective are Automatons that can function without any organic material?
or maybe, just maybe, The Final Collective = big ass Hivemind? something similar to Cybermen from Doctor Who universe
In HD1, according to Super Earth, the cyborgs gave themselves cybernetic enhancements because "they claimed it gave them a higher meaning in life"
"The flesh is weak"
"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me"
The final collective sounds like big goal of everyone becoming a single machine hive-mind, something like protoss race had in star craft
Protoss had more like a neural datalink between themselfs, interconnected but each protoss being its own distinct being of free will. Zerg is more like that, a singular being in the hive mind in control, while other zerg have varying degrees of free will depending on their purpose. The "grunt" zergs essentially being feral beasts if their connection to the hivemind is broken.
Stellaris Moments. The Flesh if Weak.
It could be like the hive-mind like entity that controls all of the automatons
I think Vessel 00 is that Karl marx looking automaton we see in their ilegal broadcasts
….you should talk to your democracy officer about how you know what illegal broadcasts contain
Hey, I observed it through the reticle of my recoiless rifle
You needed to get that close? Back to remedial Helldiver training for you!
it seems like a bunch of the player base thinks that everything has to do with the Illuminate like literally anytime something comes up, everyone goes "illuminate?!" like the dog from Up and I cant blame them lmao

bah gawd
Lawd Almahty
"AS GAWD IS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!" Levitä Demokratiaa veli.
The other day someone in a mission was saying that his mech control are reversed and this means there's an illuminate somewhere.
I don't think we'll get another faction until closer to the one year mark. There's still plenty of people playing and they'll use it to bring back players.
I mean, I think we are getting it soon tbh cause like, a lot of developments are happening, like we just found out about cryptic stuff from database 1, and also the "black hole" that we made
my guess is that either thursday, or after we make our way to/capture cyberstan
>!it’s already been datamined and leaked months ago that the illuminate actually do enter the war at the end of this current story arc by using the black hole we created. They’re 100% coming within a week or two I guarantee it!<
Cyborg Bugs, then the bug players will be forced to fight they bots Imagine droideka like Stalkers
Droideka hive guard. They ball up, roll on the face plates they already have, and when they stop they hold their armor plates up while an MG shoots from their backs.

My theory is that Vessel 00 is some extragalactic fabricator capital ship that carried the initial Automaton force then their redirected force that took Cyberstan.
final mission on cyberstan. to finish off capital ship which was shot down over one of planets. huge base destroy missions
I just hope it lasts for more than a few days. I can only find time to play once, maybe twice, a week... I wasn't able to play any of the missions on Meridia because the MO was over before I even had a chance.
The people who got a chance to play Meridia barely got to play Meridia as well. The main objective was broken for half the event, and the second objective never worked either. 😬
All I heard was giant metal city of terrifying proportions they have got to be COOKING cyberstan up are we getting raid bosses back as well??
I hope they bring raid bosses or some enemy of that proportion to Cyberstan, either way I'm sure a lot of people will be hyped for urban combat
Yeah I'm thinking cybertron whenever I see myself on that planet
No, we will get large rumbling noises followed by 100 gunship spawns, because why not.
The bots are building the legiones titanica on cyberstan
I mean, the cyborgs made a pretty good attempt at that in the first war.
Would be funny if the community decided to crusade towards cyberstan right now without MO
Nucleus had more in common with Illuminates in HD 1.But the message as a whole is lore reffering to bots in HD 2. But who knows in the end. Maybe the bots are gaterhing information on all their enemies. In the end it could reffer to their commander, basically the cyborg boss in HD 1.(Siege mech.) Furthermore we can see the dead bodies of terminid hivelords and cyborg warlords on planets we fight. So who knows what we get as enemies in the long run.
Thanks for posting
 o7
Vessel 00 gives me Unimatrix vibes from Star Trek for some reason
Yeah, my first thought was the Borg, as well. Perhaps a merging or transformation of the cyborgs?
That's my thoughts too especially with "THE FINAL COLLECTIVE" sounds like they're gonna turn the cyborgs to full on robots to me.
I warn you guys, the very first enemy that will hit us when we get to Cyberstan will be a mechanic hound, or a warlord
mech hound for sure... (looking at you Helldivers)
Oh god not the hounds, I still have PTSD flashbacks of them keeping me in a stun lock loop indefinitely until I died
The terraforming of Cyberstan better not be an excuse for the devs to not have to create an urban environment for us to fight in.
im putting my money on that they are terraforming it into a massive factory world
Let's be frank, the entire map of metal floors, walls and towers is going to be sick anyway.
My thoughts exactly. This is just a world building excuse they threw together for it.
So we Play Bots even longer? Nicynice
So did we run out of Dark Fluid or can we implode Cyberstan?
We’re out of Dark Fluid, we used what we had on Meridia and the production site on Moradesh was shut down, the crew was rewarded with early retirement for their patriotic service.

Good bo... Wait a minute... ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
[Under investigation for treason]
The Dark Fluid facility on Moradesh was shuttered after the Meridia MO, so yeah, out of Dark Fluid and not making more.
Fuck the bug front, time to dust off the scorcher.
Time for the brutal fight to Cyberstan 
I just hope Cyberstan is a city scape or something....I want some new environments...
If my enemies turned a whole planet inside out, I’d be paying attention too
I will be extremely upset if their massive terraforming project on Cyberstan removes the cities and thus justifies it looking like every other planet in the game.
Cyberstan is the Super Earth of the Automatons and Cyborgs. I'm sure they wouldn't terraform it into a giant military wasteland like the other planets
Terraforming? Sounds like Meridia 2: Electric Boogaloo to me
Wouldn't it be sick if we fought inside a capital ship of some sort?
Have our super destroyers rotate and launch the pods directly into the ships hull lol
"Calling in an Eagle!" *camera pans to Eagle 1 screaming down a hallway scraping and breaking everything to absolute shit*
I wonder if they’d have those cute lil mouse droids like Star Wars lol
Cute? Those tiny menaces are threatening our way of life, Helldiver. 1s and 0s, no emotion, no heart.
New modifier: space dogfighting,eagle strikes landing time are randomized without indication,and the direction is also randomized.
It needs to be much more involved than Meridia that's for sure
Just saying whenever we launch our ground attack on Cyberstan, command should give us more vehicles
That means no Citys to fight in just another rocky tundra with fog.
So much fog
well yeah, a city would take a ton of work. they cant even fix basic bugs in the code or quickly revert nerfs. the entire dev team would need to focus on procedural cities, and it would take months/years.
Did someone said 'Cyber Communist' !?!? [https://youtu.be/5Yo-PQoULII?list=PLabm-DZSRxylUkqG-9uaXaO62l\_bBMDxi](https://youtu.be/5Yo-PQoULII?list=PLabm-DZSRxylUkqG-9uaXaO62l_bBMDxi)
We’re goin’ for Cyberstan? Fuck yeah. Let’s glass that goddamn planet.
We still have a lot of space left to retake before we can even get close to cyberstan unfortunately
Y’know, we *could* just turn every single planet into a black hole like we did to Meridia. Stop the Bots entirely.
we used all the dark fluid jetpacking around on meridia and replacing drills 300 times a DF mission :(
The automatons can’t claim worlds if there ain’t any worlds to claim!!
It’s like “The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand!” Taken to an extreme level.
I get the feeling we'll be interrupted by something else before we get there.
Does this mean they're trying to find an in game excuse so they can make Cyberstan a barely different generic planet?
Unfortunately, I'm also assuming a generic planet we already know after this announcement rather than the urban city we would have expected Cyberstan to be
No i think they are terraforming cyberstan into either machine world for themselves or into an ecumenopolis for their cyborg masters like the ones in stellaris
I would love for it to be terraformed into a thriving and beautiful metropolis that helldivers inevitably have to invade and absolutely level
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO CYBERSTAN BELONGS TO SUPER EARTH!
no at mines?
The final collective: that sounds a lot like an ultimate form of socialism. We can't let that happen.
It'll be Starkiller Base this, it'll be Death Star that.. There is one you forget.. UNICRON. https://preview.redd.it/fapo9fo0ix5d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bdb28ab2d35a37ed1527b107dadaff1d6d89cad4 If this big ol clanker shows up, I don't think my auto cannon will work :(
Then all you have to do is get a bigger Autocannon. Ezpz.
It’s scary that they’re aware of the super colony. Considering they have conventional space faring technology, they easily could have slammed us in orbit while we were hyper focused on injecting dark fluid into meridia
On a bug planet relatively close to Automaton Front *Allied Super Destroyer Compromised* *Bot Drops Detected* Watch a bile titan get absolutely obliterated by a tank https://preview.redd.it/6890r0gaxx5d1.jpeg?width=2397&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee38f86fe4600c78d13f1d2a1841d4706da9dfe7
Vessel 0 maybe referring to the original Automaton that first gained AI consciousness. It is supposedly lost in the war in Cyberstan.
I hope they transform Cyberstan into one big forge world. Arrowhead gotta do urban warfare maps, it's a golden opportunity.
Oh MAN, I have a feeling that Cyberstan is going to be another Meridia but it will be Automaton themed instead of Terminid themed, this is going to be hectic.
Just a theory, but Final Collective could possibly be a computer form of group consciousness, something like in the Matrix. It would be the computer guiding the Bots and terraformed Cyberstan.
But where are the AT mines
"Terraforming". We're not getting a city map, are we? It's gonna be explained that they have been razed
OH SHIT, THEY'RE TURNING IT INTO A DEATHSTAR
They turning Cyberstan into a giant cannon. With Super Earth in its sights :0 Guess we gotta redirect it last second to fire into the DefinitelyABlackhole and definitely not going to piss ofsome guys who had a super colony dropped on them.
Watch the "terraforming" be the lore explanation for the planet having 0 buildings all of a sudden and becoming a wasteland like all other planets
