RA3 Uprising Unit Profile: Empire Giga-Fortress

[Sonic 296]

Another unit profile has been posted on the Official C&C Site. This one gives us a look at the Empire of the Rising Sun's Giga-Fortress. As always, there is a short in game video, concept art and extra information. Here is a sample....

 

Originally thought to be two completely separate platforms, the Giga-Fortress is now believed to be a single entity capable of assuming two completely different forms: a massive sea-fortress, bristling with more than half a dozen heavy-duty cannons and multiple independently-tracking missile systems; and a sky-fortress, built to resemble a monstrous face, armed with something called the "God's Breath device" located in the "mouth" of the thing. The shotgun wedding of Tenzai Robotics and Shirada Shipworks made all this possible, in what may one day considered be among the most outlandish acts of the post-war Empire. As well, it may be remembered as the pinnacle of military robotics. Shirada's advanced weapons, composite armor, and floating fortress nautical locomotors were seamlessly merged with Tenzai's most sophisticated artificial intelligence (A.I.) and dual-stage variable form systems in the construction of this weapon. Those directly responsible are anonymous, likely deceased; some Allied officials have even speculated that the computer-driven Giga-Fortress is the cynical by-product of war criminals refusing accountability for their actions.

EPIC

 

i like that it transforms...

I'm hoping EPIC is the important words here and that's limited to one-at-a-time policy.

Having anti-air and self repair makes this behemoth a bit too OP!

I can here it already: "Nerf the Fortress! I keep getting Giga-spammed!"

[Gben 20]

Based on APOC's twitter <---sigh...

I think this actually just a SP/campaign only unit.

 

So I relax from all my worries, and lustfully look forward to playing around with my big head.

This is a GOOD weapon! Was reading the text and found out Yoshiro died in this timeline. Three cheers!
