Sonic 292 Posted January 30, 2010 A new Command & Conquer 4 unit profile has been posted on the Official C&C Site. Today we take a look at one of GDI's newest weapons for the battlefield, the GDI Refractor. As always this profile features a short in game video, concept art and extra information. Here is a sample.... The Refractor’s iconic reflective shield is a marvel of engineering. It is constructed with several layers of material, each serving a different defensive application. The outermost layer is a crystal-lattice sustained by an electromagnetic field. Solid weapons may pass through the crystal layer, which is then immediately reconstructed by the energy field, as though a pebble had just passed through water. This allows the reflective portion of the shield to remain effective even after repeated projectile impacts. Next is a honey-comb alloy heavy armor built to resist kinetic force and heat-based weaponry. Most conventional weapons simply bounce off this ultra-hard layer of armor. The final layer in the shield plate is an 18-inch thick metal composite which absorbs any remaining incoming fire. This layer is extremely heavy, so the Refractor is built upon a Mammoth chassis to support the weight. Click here for the full GDI Refractor profile. Share this post Link to post

Luk3us 63 Posted January 30, 2010 I quite like this unit. Strange... it looks like a spectrum beam to me... Nit picking FTW? Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted January 30, 2010 Nit picking FTW? Indeed. I am not about to lower my standards to their level. Ion Cannons are not new to the Tiberium universe, and they don't look like that, stick with the ion canon (hee hee, little pun there). Share this post Link to post
