Nod Offense Crawler

The Nod Offense Crawler was the Crawler used by the Brotherhood of Nod Offense Class in Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. It was a massive walker inspired by the Fist of Nod and the Nod MCV used during the Third Tiberium War.
==Background==
Based on the design of the MCV from the Third Tiberium War, the Offense Crawler is a colossal walker designed to take the fight to the enemy. Basically an expansion of Fist of Nod, the Crawler's initial loadout can only build simple units such as the Attack Bike, but highly upgraded Crawlers have the ability to construct more powerful Nod units such as the redesigned Avatar Warmech. Improved construction capabilities also unlock the Crawler's ability to upgrade itself with Obelisks of Light and the experimental Firebomb Launcher. True to their secretive nature, Nod commanders frequently equip their Offense Crawler with stealth generators, giving them the ability to move about the map unseen.
==In-game==
Nod Offense Class Crawler. Unarmed at Tier 1. Becomes armed with a powerful laser when upgraded to tier 2, which is effective against both ground and air targets. At tier 3, the crawler is mounted with a Fireball mortar which deals area of effect damage over time, and is most effective against medium units.
It is faster than the Defense Crawler, but slower and more heavily armed than the support crawler. Like the Support Crawler, the Assault Crawler may fire its weapons on the move. It is good as a battering ram unit, though it must not be left alone. When upgraded with the (mobile) stealth generator, it can be used to sneak around defenses and units and suddenly ambush with a mix of units and lasers/fireballs, giving it a good tactical capability.
When the Nod Offense Crawler is upgraded to tier 2, it becomes the only laser-armed unit in the game that can attack while moving.
