Devourer tank

'Devourer Tanks' are apparently the Scrin equivalent of the human main battle tank (as opposed to the lighter Seeker). Unlike other Scrin armour, the Devourer appears designed after human tanks, albeit without a turret, but with higher firepower and speed. Because of this, some believe the Devourer was created as a sadistic mockery (improbable, if fitting).

Like Seekers, Devourers hover over the battlefield, but they are slower and more heavily armoured. Devourers are so called as they have been witnessed absorbing Tiberium in a similar fashion to the Scrin Harvester; they seem to do so to charge their main weapon, a long-range proton cannon capable of dealing significant damage to armoured targets. In terms of raw firepower the vehicle certainly stands up to Predator tanks, while consistently proving stronger than Scorpion tanks. They also have the longest range of any non-siege unit, able to fire upon human tank divisions well before they can respond, and when supercharged their range increases even further. Many Scrin Foremen exploit this advantage by firing on enemy tank divisions and moving back using their superior speed as the hostile tanks try to get within range. This tactic can destroy even Mammoth tanks and Avatar Warmechs if used properly, much to the disdain of the owners of said heavy and expensive assault units.

Devourers have no protection against aircraft and are ineffective against infantry; however the Scrin know this and rarely deploy them without support.

The Devourer tank can be upgraded with Conversion Reserves to stay supercharged longer.

Assessment
Good Points:


 * Can absorb Tiberium to supercharge its gun.
 * Hovers like the Seeker, making it a better staple tank than its weaker counterpart.
 * Superior to the main tanks of the other two factions, the Predator and Scorpion.
 * Effective against Tanks.
 * Also good at guarding the Tiberium Fields.
 * Well armored compared to the Seeker and Scorpion.
 * Better attack power compared to Scorpion or Predator (although Railgun Acclerator can even this somewhat).
 * Can be upgraded.
 * Can outrange Base Defenses.
 * It Can Defeat Mammoth Tanks And Avatars In Superior Numbers If Long Range.

Bad Points:
 * Ineffective against infantry.
 * It can't crush infantry.
 * Traveler does not use this thing.
 * Not as fast as Seekers.
 * Expensive for a Tier 2 unit.
 * Less armor than Predators.
 * Traveler 59 does not use this vehicle.
 * No Stealth Detection abilities like the Seeker.
 * Available to Tier 2.
 * Aircraft can be a problem.
