Pikeman
"A clunky multi-legged combat mechanoid specialized as a long-range weapons platform. While effective at distance, it is weak in close-range fights and in melee combat.
Veterans of mechanoid wars know that often, the safest place to be around a pikeman is touching it."

Pikemen are a type of slow-moving sniping mechanoid that fires needles for 15 damage and 35% armor penetration. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, either spawned inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also raid the player's base through a random raid-type event and can also be found in most poison ships and psychic ships.
Pikemen are often supported by centipedes, scythers, and lancers, though their speed and range difference often leaves them at the back of the formation.
Like other mechanoids, pikemen are sentient machine-like creatures which do not need to eat, cannot be tamed or trained, and are always hostile to the colony. Pikemen have a moderate resistance to sharp damage, a small resistance to blunt damage
Pikemen will slowly move until they are at range, in which they will stay at maximum range to fire. They will not move around to seek cover, or avoid incoming fighters.
Dead pikemen may be disassembled at the machining table for 20 steel, 5 plasteel and 1 component, though these values are affected by mechanoid disassembly efficiency.
Combat & Strategy
Pikemen play a supportive role, providing firepower at long range to keep your colonists' heads down while the other mechs deal the damage.
Their damage output is atrocious- their needle gun deals a measly 15 damage, has a slow fire rate, and pikemen themselves are not good snipers, equivalent to a level 8 shooter only.
As the description says, engaging pikemen at close range can be a viable way to take them down, once all others have been dealt with.
