Thats right, another preview
Beneath their stylish exteriors, Aeon units tend to be highly specialized, and they usually have a single purpose on the battlefield. Some are designed with sonic-based weapons, while others are armed with gravity weapons. For protection, most Aeon units are equipped with powerful energy shields. Aeon units are powered by antimatter, which is both a powerful energy source and a potent weapon. In terms of tactics, the Aeon like to use the quick speed of their units to suddenly overwhelm an enemy. This is an army that likes to go on the offensive and can use mobility to its advantage, whereas being on the defensive usually means being fixed in place. We'll see the Aeon in action when Supreme Commander ships next year.

These units also look stylish as hell.

agreed, they look awesome.

Powered by antimatter... I wouldn't be surprised if an Aeon super-unit shot out some sort of antimatter carpet-boming-esque artillery barrage. Sure, each projectile is the size of a pea, surrounded by an energy field, but...

Ahh, I'm reminded of the commanderbombs from TA.

Actually....

Look on the far right and you'll see an Aeon building that looks something like an energy cannon pointing in a high ballistic arc.

A lot of people are speculating that the UEF's Mavor may not be the only one of its type. :wink:
