Assimilators are bizarre-looking Scrin infantry units that perform functions analogous to human Engineers. Assimilators have been clearly seen capturing and repairing both human and Scrin structures and bridges. Assimilators may also recover fallen walkers, namely the alien Annihilator Tripod and human Avatar and Juggernaut, restoring them to combat functionality in order to fight for the Scrin.
The sole advantage that the slow-moving Assimilator seems to possess over our own Engineers and Saboteurs is its ability to cloak when not moving, similar to many Nod stealth units. This has been known to have certain tactical advantages for the aliens - however, if detected, the Assimilator is easily killed due to its lack or armor or defensive weaponry.
