The Signal Transmitter is an important battlefield building for the Scrin. This bizarre, spiked building appears to grant Scrin Foremen access to the most advanced and dangerous air/spacecraft that the aliens have to offer, namely their Planetary Assault Carriers and foreboding, glacially slow Motherships. Notably, the Mothership will materialise wherever this building is placed when it is summoned, and while this construction does indeed allow the summoning of a Mothership, it still comes at great Tiberium cost. The building itself also consumes a reasonable amount of power. With this building the alien Foreman can call down support power called Overlord's Wrath. Signal Transmitter can also summon Wormhole that provide teleportation through 2 different place on the battlefield. During the alien's escape from earth, the Mission AI give briefing to Foreman 371: "While completing Threshold Assembly, the construction of Signal Transmitter is your only chance for survival Foreman. First priority, complete Threshold assembly". The Signal Transmitter then summon the Alien's Mothership to be teleported into the Ichor Hub with the Threshold Tower.
[edit] Trivia
- The Signal Transmitter bares a resemblance to an ancient sea creature called the Hallucigenia.
