I think the onos would be much better off if it took considerably less damage on it's headplate. Something like a tenth of normal damage would do it. After doing that, the onos reverse speed would need to be lowered. This would help kill the hit and run. The onos would become a frontal assault unit behind which all the other aliens could swarm. What could possibly also be done is have the headplate block 80% damage at hive 1, 90% damage at hive 2, and 100% damage at hive 3. The onos would basically become a tank, having to watch it's backside, but being able to take incredible amounts of punishment from the front. The abilities devour and stomp would also need to be changed, but I lack decent ideas for how to change those.
