The Eradicator Hexapod is an extremely powerful Scrin mechanized walker, resembling a six-legged spider.[1]

Existence of this unit was first revealed from fuzzy images of a large mass. Soon began rumors of a giant, six-legged monster travelling the the red and yellow zones. While some thought these rumors would soon dissipate, GDI Central Command began to worry when reports of this creature increased. More disturbing and detailed accounts included the easy destruction of a Mammoth Tank and an Avatar, and taking apart its victims piece by piece and recycling them. GDI investigated, and soon learned of the Eradicator.

The Eradicator is armed with weaponry similar to the Devastator Warship, and also equipped with a Lifeform Recycling System. This gruesome ability allows the unit to dismantle and parts from the vehicles and buildings it destroys, resulting in a steady supply of resources. As a whole, the Eradicator is heavily armed and armoured, and with the right units supporting it, difficult to defeat. Even Commandos can not damage its legs, and would be crushed if attempting to attack it. The effectiveness of the Eradicator may be enhanced by garrisoned Scrin infantry units (as below).

However, without appropriate upgrades, the walker is incapable of protecting itself from air attacks. Its main weapon's lack of precision also makes it less effective against well co-ordinated and fast-moving attacks from enemy units (while the Eradicator is surprisingly fast given its vast size, most vehicles can still outrun it). Due to the large amount of resources required to construct one of these vehicles, only one can be deployed at a time. The sheer size and power of the unit means that it requires its own specialist structure in order to be brought onto the battlefield: a Warp Chasm.

[edit] Assimilate Unit upgrades

The Lifeform Recycling System can also allow the Eradicator to assimilate up to three Scrin infantry units. These units provide the Eradicator with a number of new weapons, but cannot revert to their previous state once acquired. New capabilities also depend on the type of unit absorbed:

  • Disintegrators: adds a powerful anti-vehicle beam weapon.
  • Assimilator: adds a self repairing module. Additional Assimilators presumably enhance the regeneration rate.
  • Shock Troopers: adds anti-vehicle and anti-aircraft plasma weaponry.
  • Ravager: adds shard launcher, effective against enemy infantry, structures, and aircraft.
  • Mastermind/Prodigy: Allows the Teleport Eradictor capability, allowing it to travel instantly from one point to another. Should a Prodigy be assimilated, another Prodigy will be made available to the Foreman. Teleportation is limited to the Eradicator's Sight Radius; it is incapable of long-range jumps.
