Gombeyaata

**Key Features** | »»»»»

## Tactical Analysis

* **One-man puppet show:** The Frontier Corps' answer to Imperial mecha and Syndicate battlesuits, the Gombeyaata is armed with a staff scavenged from Blue Chinese Scramblers that are able to completely materialize delicate machinery within them to disarray to the point that they no longer resemble that they once were.

* **Pull up the strings:** With a flick of the switch, the Gombeyaata can also 'fix' the molecules inside infantry, tanks and planes into place with sheer order to the point that they are momentarily unable to move their bodies.

* **Falling curtains:**

* **Have some scrambled eggs:** Scientists within the Nightmare Hall can even retool existing Gombeyaatas' scramblers to be more dangerous than they currently are, where they can expose infantry and vehicles to the same fate that they exposed mechas and battlesuits into.

## Background

*"By the time you're reading this article, you must be pretty aware of what the heck India is doing for the past years. We all saw how they routed the invading Imperial army from their own capital, how their multitudes of soldiers fight the GLA in their territory, especially how they basically curb-stomped nearby nations and is going to do the same to the rest of the Middle East and Africa to stamp out anyone who speaks and goes against the damned Allied Nations. But let me give you a rundown of one of their unfunny truths that even the Commonwealth is too ashamed to let it out in the open:*

*"Thanks to reliable sources I've contacted inside the region, I've discovered one of the skeletons the Indians have bolted deep in their closet. But before that, let me ask you, ever heard of that psycho who is responsible for countless machinery failures in the Lemuria Sprawl? How about entire GLA troops found running around while burning and Scorpion Tanks being flung like toys in the air? I tell you, they're all CONNECTED."*

*"Let me tell you about one of them, I"m not sure which is which. Anyway, this horror is just but one of the many unholy forces that the Indian Commonwealth has summoned to this world for their nefarious purposes. I'm telling ya, their deal with the Mediterranean Syndicate seemed fishy enough for me, I mean, this is the secret order of warlocks and necromancers disguised as executives that intend to oppress the common man by their Sprawls! It's just fitting that the leaders of the Commonwealth would make a pact with the Syndicates for their own whims, and today, I just discovered one of their twisted hybrid children, born out of an accident that their scientists formed together is the Gombie Adder, or the Gombeyaata!"*

*"Ladies and gentlemen, the Gombeyaatas are what I call the bane of technology; they are mental asylum patients wielding deplorable 'Scrambler' staves that can turn the delicate machinery of our gadgets to complete disarray! There's also that the fact that our sources inside a Blue Chinese fiefdom even reported that many of their 'Scrambler' machines have disappeared, not to mention the latest Atomic Chinese attack being quickly destroyed before they can even teleport to Mumbai! You say these are just coincidences, I think not! I mean, somebody's gotta be suspicious when they hear reports of the Indian government requesting selected nutjobs to undergo a 'treatment session'! As you expect from the same power bloc with insane mutants and their own hellish versions of dreaded Atomic tech, it's all nonsense! Only such a callous and vile being would use mental illness as a weapon to destroy Japanese and rogue Syndicate battlesuits! Not to mention that Syndicate agents can just go around the world and use these scramblers on our gadgets just to force us to buy Syndicate products! I mean, Chariot cars are now notoriously unreliable but cheap enough for the poorest shmucks to buy, Ambrosia Cola contain chemicals that mess with your brain that leave you craving for more, there's even reports of Legion Security deliberately starting wars just so people can hire their soldiers!"*

*"The worlds has to wake the hell up and stop acting like placid sheeple by seeing what their governments are doing in the dark! You gotta question, why aren't the Allies taking steps to stop these kinds of mad science within their friends? Is it because they wholeheartedly approve of the Unionists' brainwashing methods, Japan's psychotic psychics, and India's own attempts in mad science? These kinds of technology shows that the Illuminatis and shadow cabals of the world has their hands deep not only in business, politics and media, but also in the scientific community. There's a good chance that the 'accident' that happened while the Gombeyaatas' weapons were created is deliberate- I mean, how can some educated scientist randomly press a button in the Scrambler to completely wreck lots of laboratory equipment? There's also the shady history of the name 'Gombeyaata': it means **shadow puppetry**, meaning the shadow cabals are playing the world's governments like puppets, a way for them to mock us True Believers who know better! Clearly, the shadow cabals menace upon the world and they must be destroyed for it! If we do not act now, how long until they will use us in their insane experiments?"*
