appears that they melded the mirage tank and prism tank from RA2 into one unit, at least it doesn't have the prism tank's range, or else i'd say that it was OP. Hum, i didn't see that they also added GAP generator to the mix... now i'm wondering how they're going to balance this unit...

Two flaws.

1. I can see the treadmarks of the tanks it's hiding. Thus making it's Gap generator moot to a human player.
2. The panels on the sides jerk around too much while moving.

It depends on the terrain it is currently on; on asphalt, it turns into a car, on grass a tree, etc..

Hmm this unit is alot more interesting than the ones they were displaying before. I like the way they are keeping the units that Einstein made while varying them enough to consider them alternate designs. What did Einstein design btw? He made IIRC:
-Prism Tank and tower
-Chronosphere and legionnaire
-Mirage Tank
-Weather Controller
-Gap generator

Anything else?

I'm not entirely sold on the spectrum-dispersion cannon - it must be said that I do prefer a big chunky gun - but nonetheless this is a three-in-one combo of the Allies' best features from RA2. The rattling of the panels could be slightly less, it must be admitted - but then, I don't think it'll be astonishingly noticeable in-game. Easily the most interesting unit revealed so far, I'd have to say (but French? I'd always assumed it was joint American-German. Plus Chobham armour is British).

Possibly the most interesting unit I've seen a game that does nothing but enrage me. But I will go back to what I have said before and what Lizzie has already mentioned, the animation seriously blows.

Lol, Protoss Arbiter ripoff.

That said, I'm glad they brought back both the Mirage and Prism and managed to keep them both balanced this time around.

Sounds cool! It's like a combo of the Prism Tank, Mirage Tank, and Mobile Gap Generator!
