I have a little more information to share on this that I think might be relevant. I think it's an overall AI issue that extends beyond just how they behave when Manipulated. I had like 8 of them trying to engage my Guardian Spirit even though there's only room for 4 to be engaged, and that's without trying to use the Taunt. I kind of feel cheap using NB-Spam+GS as my only option for these things, heh. It'd be nice to be able to take a crack at a Manipulate-centered strategy instead.

The whole thing kind of reminds me of the experimental new creature AI that was put into Test a couple of years ago, which was various flavors of broken at the time and hasn't come up again since.

As an additional suggestion for future events, perhaps consider how you can include constructs. This event seemed like the perfect opportunity to have both living creatures (biomechanical spiders) and constructs (fully transformed mechanical spiders).
