Cog Commander#274

Special Cogs that are like a Commander (Mini Boss maybe?)
They should appear in special Drillships, having better Weapons and Armor.
Also they should have some kind of “Commanding” Ability, so that when you destroy them, other Cogs they’ve been cotrolling are maybe weakened or even deactivated.

dang, I guess I should’ve been faster with that one.

I imagined some COGs that act as commandants, like Sergeants, Colonels, Lieutnants, Corporals… There would be some of those for each type and each tier, and of course having buffed stats, and once you beat one, all COGs of his type and tier would be “stunned” for like a few seconds (their “chief” is out, they don’t have any orders anymore - think of it as a Hivemind), and after a while they all just reactivate and act like before.

COG Commissar… that would be nice..

The presence of one could cause a change of behaiviour of surrounding COGs: instead of rushing towards you, they could group to advance in greater numbers, circle to advance using blind angles (like facing a single turret instead of 4).. or move to reinforce an objective you are attacking (drillship or lazer)..

..and yes, being better and the small stun / confusion when they are defeated sounds nice.
