The First To Fall...

Actually, the first to be summarized!

That is, the first unit from TA- and also my personal mascot! ; )

So here goes!

Faction: ARM

Unit Type: Kbot

Tech Level: 1

Summary: In many TA unit guides, this is the first combat unit to be described. And this guide is no exception. This unit is the PeeWee. Not a very threatening name, right? But it makes up for reputation with efficiency. First, its cost is a quite a deal: a mere 53 metal and 697 energy. Now, this price is all good and fine, but is the unit still worth it? In short: an emphatic YES. Like most Kbots, its maneuverability is good. And its speed is above average. Its armor (or lack there of) is its greatest weakness. A mere three missile shots will bring this Kbot down- not good, considering that missile towers are the cheapest defenses out there. But its weapon makes up for that. Armed with ARM's signature weapon, the EMG (energy machine gun), this unit is great for dishing out some cheap damage. Its combination of maneuverability and firepower allow it to consistently mow down two of CORE's equivalent infantry. So what is this unit good for? Is it even worth your time? Well, this unit, in summary, should be viewed as an inexpensive early game raider- capable of being produced with little damage in the precarious infant economy. In fact, this unit alone may sway some ARM players to start with a Kbot Lab, rather than the more versatile Vehicle Plant. These players start pumping out these raiders to set back there opponent, while expanding more and more land with their commander. If carried out right, this investment rapidly pays off. Now, like all units, you need to recognize that the PeeWee has a time and place. That time and place is early game offensive. Don't rely on these any later than that.

Finally Summary:

Speed: 1 2 3 4 5

Agility: 1 2 3 4 5

Firepower for Price: 1 2 3 4 5

Armor for Price: 1 2 3 4 5

Overall: 1 2 3 4 5

There you have it!
