CABAL Guardian

Strength: Medium
Armour: Strong
Speed: Average
Cost: 2000

*Obtainable via capturing a Cabal Core*
*Requires Sides Tech Center to use*

A new unit fresh from Cabal's assembly line. Devolped and produced in production facilities located in some of the coldest places on Earth these units are a serious threat for any unit in the battlefield, armed with twin light plasma cannons they can deal with even some of the most armoured units suprisingly quickly and can fry groups of infantry instantly at a good distance. Their main weakness lies within their own armour as they rely on destroying their enemies before being fired upon. These units have not been mass produced so encountering a large group of them will be rare.

Very, very nice work SHP. Sounds like a great unit too.

One issue I have with it: Guardian sounds a bit weird for a lightly armoured strike unit, that your description states relies on destroying the enemy before being fired on.

Aside from that it is a very sound design and role. CABAL must be pleased #Tongue

Awesome.

Also, it looks like Centurion from Terminator universe, but with triple-leg chassis.

I thought this was quadruped.

The turret looks similar, perhaps, but the one in Terminator was tracked iirc. This is a quadruped.
Although it wouldn't surprise me if the similarities are intentional, last I checked Morpher was fairly well versed in Terminator.

So, need also give dead voice 'I'll be back!' ( :broot: ) to CABAL's foot cyborg.
And 'Hasta la vista, baby!' to somebody of mutants. #2gunfire

In case that you would want them I could provide you with the AUD files for the terminator quotes including the ones mentioned. Oh but I don't do the mono and Mhz adjustment stuff since it works flawlessly without that for me. I got the wav files too if you want to do the adjustments, not that they couldn't be found in the net.

Unit is looking great me likes.

I kinda think that Donut's voice would fit the Cabal units.

OrangeNero, I just kidding. Wink

IMHO, Cyborg (or same) voice is ideal for CABAL's units.

Masters at finding good soundfx libraries. Not for nothing was Aliens vs. Predator using several tiberian fiend sounds for the predator. Wink

Ontopic: the unit looks nice, though since shp units can have more details than vxl, i think it would be nice to give it a more metallic look by adding some cool bright reflections. Especially the lighting of the cockpit/turret part looks quite bland.

I'm not sure if these are all walking in the preview, but even turreted shp units can have standing frames!
So it would be good to give this one a standing frame with even stretched out legs.
