Lol, gotcha. Well not Spider tanks exactly, but French artists have managed to create a fully mobile walking mechanical spider, and are displaying it throughout the streets of Liverpool......

Every sci-fi fan's dream is accomplished in this thing! It's only a matter of time before the French refine this into an eight-legged killing machine!

It's name is "La Princesse", for those who care.....

Not quite a fleet footed hunting machine, but we'll get there eventually.

True.....

I will make a deal with the French, and in time, I will ave a small battalion of them. Then I will lead my forces to Norway to thwart Grandma's plans for world domination!

If I looked out of my window and saw that I would probably start running in the opposite direction it's going.

Who touched my gun?

Umm from what I could percieve, it looked like it was just being kept above ground with a hoist while being driven slowly forward. You could see it more clearly towards the end. It would stand little chance against my battalion of not-so-easily fooled reindeers with chainsaws attached to them. And why would anyone thwart my plans? That's just rude.

SCHHH... You're not supposed to talk about that, or he'll come to you at night too, and you'll wake up without one of your limbs...

That's lame. It's not even really walking.

I was going to go down and see it. But it would have been way too busy for my liking.

To be quite honest I see it as a £1.2m waste of tax payer's money.
