The Juggernaut Mk. II Behemoth was a GDI artillery walker that entered service between the Second and Third Tiberium Wars. The Behemoth incorporated a dorsal infantry pod for close-in protection.

[edit] History

After-action analyses revealed the Juggernaut artillery walkers were ill-equipped to repel close quarters assaults from infantry. As an interim solution Juggernauts were modified with a dorsal infantry-carrying pod. These infantry-carrying Juggernauts proved successful and the type was authorized for full development, and nicknamed the Behemoth.^[1]

The Behemoth combat trials were carried out by the Steel Talons experimental combat technology division. It was expected the vehicle would see general deployment afterwards.^[1]

The Behemoth was succeeded by the Juggernaut Mk. III, which ended up being the general issue vehicle for the Third Tiberium War. The Mk. III did not have the infantry pod, but entrenched and moved faster.

[edit] Game Unit

The Behemoth replaces the Juggernaut when the Steel Talons faction is used. The Behemoth loses the sniper team-targeted Bombard Target ability, but gains the ability to transport and garrison an infantry squad.
