Description[]
TIGER-type battle robots are middleweight, heavily armored battle machines, mainly used when attacking the enemy. In spite of all that armor they are still very fast. TIGER Assault robots with their two lightweight rocket launchers, are true all-round destroyers. They are connected directly to the central computer and have their own built-in new generation artificial intelligence (AI).
Appearance[]
This unit is first introduced in the sixth UCS Mexico mission as a prototype. In the final UCS Mexico mission only two of them are provided. In the other main UCS campaigns it can be mass produced.
In the cutscene for the UCS United Kingdom Campaign, a Tiger Assault is shown firing two 1” machine guns in addition to rocket launchers, which is not how it attacks in the gameplay. In the cutscene for the UCS Africa Campaign, a Tiger Assault is shown heading for the elevation hatch of a Production Center.
When playing as the Eurasian Dynasty, a single unit is first introduced in the final ED Eurasia mission. It's also possible for ED to acquire these units after capturing a HeavyTech due to sharing similar Rocket Engine technology to that of UCS.
