The darkness of doom
Steadily shall loom
As boom boom boom
Pound the drums of doom
While the tanks go to their tomb
And diep meets its doom.
Backstory []
The Archprophet has always had big, big dreams. War Machine, War Machine II, you name it. But even those awe-inspiring weapons of doom were not enough for the ever-amibitious Prophet. Again and again he prodded Dr. Lacus to create the biggest, baddest, and most potent yet. And at long last, the Doctor finally managed to create something that satiated the Prophet (for the time being). It was aptly named the Doom of Diep. More of a glass cannon that anything, its unusually low health paired with its sentience, an anomaly of being self-aware for a machine, makes it a much harder thing to fight. It may replace the War Machine II in Mad Science, at the same rate as the War Machine III does.
Spawn Conditions[]
As stated above, it may replace the War Machine II in Mad Science, at the same rate as the War Machine III does. If so, the room in which it is battled is way larger and has no obstructions or chemical pools.
Design[]
The Doom of Diep in action...
The Doom is a massive circle, crowded with potent weaponry. Four supports run from the "nucleus" of the Doom to connect it to a massive inner ring, also crammed with weapons, which is connected by four more supports to a tremendous outer ring, containing the still more weapons. To get an idea of the total firepower it commands, consider this:
- Total Bullets per Every Gun Shooting = 85
- Total Traps per Every Launcher Firing = 6
- Total Drones = ~ 200
The Nucleus[]
The Nucleus is the core of the tank and has 20,000 Health Points. As such, it does not have a whole lot of normal weapons, but instead is the source of the special attacks (see Attacks section). It contains the following weapons:
- Twelve Octo Tank-style cannons, which make up the edge of the Nucleus. Each is equivalent to a maxed Basic tank cannon.
- Four Ranger-like Auto Turrets, which take up all but the center of the Nucleus. Each is equivalent to a maxed Ranger.
- One mortar, which fires powerful bullets (60 damage each) into the air and back down to the ground. While in the air, the bullets are invisible. The mortar also has a long range and is the very center of the Nucleus.
The Inner Ring[]
The Inner Ring is still a bit distant from the main action. Because of this, it is home to a number of ranged threats, as well as 30,000 Health Points.
- Eight twin Auto Turrets, placed equal distances apart from each other. Each Turret is essentially equivalent to a maxed Gunner Trapper.
- Eight single Auto Turrets, placed equal distances apart from each other. Each Turret is equal to a comparable one on an Auto Gunner or Gunner Trapper.
- Eight standard Drone Spawners, placed equal distances from each other. Each pair of two, with total reload twice that of an Overlord, replenishes a fleet of twelve maxed-equivalent Drones.
- Four Minion Spawners, placed equal distances from each other. Each one replenishes a fleet of eight Minions. The Spawners have twice the reload of a Factory while the Minions are equivalent to a maxed normal Minion.
The Outer Ring[]
The Outer Ring has an immense number of weapons and 40,000 Health Points + 20 Body Damage. The Outer Ring can also rotate when necessary.
- Two triple Mega Trap launchers. Each is equal to three maxed Mega Trappers.
- Two quadruple Battleship Drone Spawners, with maxed stats.
- Two Penta Shot guns, with maxed stats.
- Two Annihilator cannons, with maxed stats.
- Two temporarily-detachable Spikes, with 10/10/10/10 equivalent while attacking. While not attacking, health is as much as the entire Outer Ring.
- Two Sprayer cannons, with maxed stats.
- Two twin Streamliner cannons, with maxed stats. Essentially a Twin, but with the normal cannons replaced with Streamliners.
- Two Splitter cannons, with maxed stats.
- Two Triplet cannons, with maxed stats.
Attacks[]
The Doom doesn't just use conventional weapons. It also has a large number of devastating special attacks.

- Slash. The sword moves with Booster-like speed across the screen, attacking nearby opponents. Each hit does a whopping 100 damage.
- Jab. The sword grows twice as long as it darts across the screen towards one player, doing 80 damage.
- Floodgates. The shield's projecting square center releases two hundred Square Drones.
- Punch. The shield's projecting square center releases a tight formation of fifty Square Drones even as the shield extends toward the target.
- Slam. The shield swings slowly towards nearby foes, doing 120 damage to all who touch it.
- Block. The shield or sword absorb things meant for the Doom.
- Attraction. All tanks within a certain distance of the sword are drawn there by unstoppable force until they touch the blade once, receiving 60 damage. Then they may escape, if they can....

- Blood Rage. The screen goes completely red for all players for thirty seconds as the Doom rampages.
- Reverse. All enemy Barrels/Launchers fire the opposite way they normally do. Drones go the opposite direction they're supposed to go. Lasts for one minute.
- Expulso. Every bullet, trap, drone, etc. that the Doom makes explodes upon contact with a tank, doing extra damage and releasing small fragments. Lasts for two minutes.
Phase Attacks[]
As the Doom loses health, it unleashes special attacks.
- At 75,000 Health Points, the Doom makes all Polygons near itself be able to move some and hit players. In addition, their Body Damage is doubled. This lasts for the rest of the game.
- At 60,000 Health Points, the Doom slows all Health Regen in its presence by 50%. This lasts for the rest of the game.
- At 45,000 Health Points, the Doom makes Crashers spawn five times as often and have increased speed, health, and damage. This lasts for the rest of the game.
- At 30,000 Health Points, the Doom begins spawning normal bosses, one every five minutes. This lasts for the rest of the game.
- At 15,000 Health Points, the Doom spawns four player-controlled tanks which do damage to everything but the Doom and themselves. They can change tank type at will and are automatically Level 45. They last till they are killed, which awards 0 XP.
- At 10,000 Health Points, all of the Doom's attacks are improved by 50%. This lasts for the rest of the game.
- At 5,000 Health Points, the Doom reduces the health of 10 random tanks to 1% it's normal value.
- At 1,000 Health Points, the Doom spawns Protectors, which attack nearby tanks. These Protectors are somewhat inferior to normal Base Protectors.
- At 1 Health Point, the Doom vanishes to fight again another day.

Trivia[]
