The Guardian^[1] is a GDI armored personnel carrier used during the Third Tiberium War, a further development of the Mobile Repair Transport. It is an advanced, six wheeled transport, with all terrain capability and a dual barreled heavy machine gun capable of engaging both ground and aerial targets. It features a wedge shaped hull to provide protection from IEDs, a common weapon in urban warfare.

Any squad of infantry being transported inside may fire out of the APC, granting it greater offensive capability than when empty; for example, an APC transporting a Missile Squad will gain improved fire power against vehicular and airborne targets and when transporting Zone Troopers, the Zone Troopers will tear through vehicles. Additonally, it's twin machine gun can be upgraded to employ armour piercing ammunition.

In addition to transporting a single squad of infantry, the new APC is outfitted with mine laying equipment, allowing it to deploy a large minefield at any given location.

The Guardian is not amphibious, unlike its predecessor.

[edit] Game Unit

The Guardian may carry one infantry squad. Troops may fire from within the APC but are killed when the vehicle is destroyed. By itself the APC can attack both land and air targets.

The Guardian may be upgraded with armour piercing ammunition.
