Following the sheer success of the original "Mechobo" type bio-mechanical bird, Cay-Tech released the next in the series, the "Mechobo Type AST". The model has been re-designed for higher firepower, but at the cost of speed.("Mechobo" by sporetube)

Appears to be a highly advanced race, wonder if I should make them the male versions of Species 025, that'd be cool . But, since you can't make different male and female versions of the same creature in Spore in-game that'd be kinda dumb. Guess I was inspired by BioShock and HALO for this one :)
