This is sorta bred from a thread I just started in the strategy forum, "T2, the tech that time forgot." It got me thinking about seige bots in general.
Now, Cybran & UEF Seige bots have shields (I think, I'm sure UEF do), yet Aeon don't. Trouble is, since we see almost no UEF vs Aeon replays (everybody plays Aeon, *snore*) it's hard to tell. The unit stats page on this site gave me the following info.

This Siege Assault Bot fires homing rockets out of it's head!
It also has some type of energy based weapons firing from the arms.

This Siege Assault Bot charges up it's gun and fires 3
consecutive projectiles that fly in a direct path trajectory.
Also has an ECM laser.
Right, depending on what "refire rate" actually means (is it the time inbetween firing, or some kind of measurement of speed?), the main weapon of the Cybran/UEF Seige bot is remarkably similar in stats, aside from a difference in 'refire rate'. The UEF Seige Bot's other weapons aren't listed, so I can't tell how they rate with the Cybran. It'd be nice to try a straight 1v1, Cybran Seige bot vs UEF.
The stats give no info about shields (or the lack of) and seem to have grossly underestimated HP values (an awful lot of units appear to have '1000' hp). Interestingly, the Aeon Seige Bot isn't listed at all.
This isn't a dig at the unit stats page, the feature is well thought out and very helpful, it just doesn't answer the question. So, I put it to you, who has the best Bots?
