Heavy cyborg unit, a mobile bastion built around a living (or augmented) human neural core. Walking Reactor: When shields take catastrophic overload, the core deliberately initiates a controlled thermal cascade: venting superheated plasma through exhaust ports. This creates a localized "meltdown zone" that scorches infantry, melts lighter vehicles, and forces Mandate heavies to retreat. Deployed in fixed positions around landing pads, dig sites, or hive hubs. They mount heavier secondary weapons (mortar tubes, anti-air flak pods) for area denial.
