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

Any squad of infantry garrisoned inside may fire from within the APC, granting it greater offensive capability than when empty; for example, an APC transporting a Missile Squad will gain improved fire power against armoured and airborne targets or Zone Troopers can tear through tanks. Additonally, it's twin machinegun can be upgraded to employ armour piercing ammunition.

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

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 may attack both land and air targets.

The Guardian may be upgraded with armour piercing ammunition.
