History Characters / CommandAndConquerTiberiumSeriesUnits

* SegmentedSerpent: It's customisable and quite useful since all of its pieces are armed.

* SiegeEngines: The SSM is the most longest-ranged unit, able to fire on the enemy from a great distance. Its napalm rounds are useful at cracking through tough base defenses without any worry of retaliation.

Their main weapon is a long-range sniper rifle capable of firing specially designed rounds that are filled with a psychotropic agent, rendering the victim open to suggestion. However, the chemicals used also gave the victime acute blood poisoning, so they would eventually die after being shot.

* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: In the 2020 remaster, the Hunvee was renamed "Light Scout" to (possibly) avoid any legal issues over the Humvee name owned by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_General AM General]]. Though there are some mods that restore its original name.

!!!Humvee

* TheArtifact: GDI engineers in ''Tiberium Wars'' still wear hard hats and harnesses over their protective suits, which are mentioned [[AllThereInTheManual in the lore]] as being something of a long-standing rule by that point.

* HandCannon: Combat engineers of GDI subfaction Steel Talons is armed with one. They can be used for killing other engineers and for some reason can actually shoot at aircraft.

This lightest GDI vehicle is good for fast strikes and recon. GDI tacticians recommend using the Humm-Vee until you are qualified to produce heavier vehicles. Whilst performing well against infantry and other light vehicles such as the Nod Buggy, the Humvee's armour is insufficient to withstand prolonged attack from heavy weapons such as tank shells or rockets. This limits the overall combat effectiveness of the Humvee and limits its role to that of a scout or infantry support unit.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: It's twin rockets.

* {{Jetpack}}: They have one so they can fly around.
* TrueSight: In Firestorm, Jump jet infantry is equipped with sensors to detect cloaked units.

* BoringYetPractical: 2 Riflemen and a foxhole cost the same as a guard tower, and don't cost power, they can easily mow down waves of infantry and it only costs 100$ to replace them if the riflemen survive, each one can even become ''more'' dangerous thanks to veterancy. The only downsides are a lack of stealth detection and susceptibility to anti-garrison units and abilities. This is exacerbated by the fact that the Guard Tower is infamously ineffective against swarms of infantry due to it's delay between each target.
* ConsumnnateProfessional: Especially compared to Nod militia troops, GDI Riflemen are decidedly professional and disciplined to a fault.

* CripplingOverSpecialization: Very good for getting rid of anti-tank infantry, but are useless against vehicles and structures.

* PoweredArmor: Made from the same composite used in the Mammoth Mark.III armor, is allows Zone Trooper to take minimal damage from a tank's Cannon-type damage, while dealing back the maximum damage with their own Cannon-type.

* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: Stealth tank in ''Tiberium Wars'' can be upgrade with Tiberium core missiles, with greatly increasing its penetrating power.

* GatlingGood: The Apache uses a powerful chaingun as a primary weapon, and is highly effective against infantry or light vehicles, however its effectivness is limited against armour and buildings.

Nod's harvester for collect the vein appendeges of a Veinhole. It works the same as a harvester does, just that it takes veins and not tiberium.

* EliteMooks: The Confessors are better than all other factions starting infantry with the possible exception being the Awakened. They can be further upgraded with the Black Disciple, who also benefits from the purifying flame upgrade. In addition, the particle beam rifles the Confessors can be upgraded with can make short work of enemy infantry. To top it off, they are reasonably cheap. With all upgrades bought, they are perhaps the most versatile basic infantry unit; they are excellent against enemy infantry, can be good against structures with the Black Disciples upgrade, and can do more respectable levels of damage to vehicles than most equivalent units. Additionally, infantry of the player that controls them gain defense and firepower bonuses from standing near them, although this bonus does not stack. Particle beams make them so lethal that they can beat Zone Troopers (which cost three times as much as they do) squad-for-squad.

* EliteMooks: Awakened are the product of years of cybernetics research by the Brotherhood. Gathered from the ranks of the fallen and equipped with upgraded armor, machine guns, and EMP launchers, a full Awakened squad is the strongest basic infantry unit. Utterly devoted to Kane,, the Awakened are capable servants for the Marked of Kane.

* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: Like normal Militants, they are drawn from the socially collapsed Yellow Zones' destitute and miserable populations, and only given minimal training and equipment to serve as Nod's frontline troops.

Of the Epic units, its triple laser has the best damage output and rate of fire, coupled with it having the best forward armor, makes it the best in one-on-one engagements, infantry garrisons not withstanding. It has however also the most vulnerable to getting swamped by large groups of units since its has the least health of the three, can only fire at one target at time with no splash damage, and weaker side and read armor.

They are armed with a anti-infantry "web" that acts as a net and traps infantry, leaving them helpless. To deal with webbed infantry or vehicles, the cyborg reaper has 4 missiles that launch with some hitting random targets.

----

* EliteMooks: Compared to regular Militants. Rocket Squads are selected from Militants with combat experience or training, given actual uniforms, and more standardized weapons.

* TheArtifact: GDI engineers in ''Tiberium Wars'' still wear hard hats and harnesses over their protective suits, whicha are mentioned [[AllThereInTheManual in the lore]] as being something of a long-standing rule by that point.

* TheEngineer: Engineers can repair bridges and your buildings, capture enemy buildings.

* AntiAir[=/=]AntiVehicle: Rocket harvesters of GDI subfaction ZOCOM carry a high-impact rocket laucher fend off looters. These harvesters deal more damage to vehicles, but less to infantry. Including the natural lock-on of rockets, they can also attack aircraft as well.

!!![=Minigunner=]

* TrueSight: Deploy mobile sensor array can detect stealthed and subterranean units in big radius around them.

* OneHitPolykill: They were effective at eliminating infantry quickly, as the grenade could sometimes eliminate enemy infantry in a single hit.
* PineappleSurprise: Grenadier explode when killed, likely killing other nearby infantry. They can also explode in a chain reaction from other exploding grenadier.

* ActionBomb: Interestingly, the Disc Throwers in the vanilla game do not cause an explosion upon death like Grenadier in ''Tiberian Dawn'' and ''Red Alert'', but Westwood added it back in for the ''Firestorm'' expansion pack, meaning GDI players once again had to be careful how they used these units.

* TheEngineer: Saboteurs can repair bridges and your buildings, capture enemy buildings.

!!![=Devastator Warship=]

!!![=Mothership=]

* StartingUnits: Everyone starts with an MCV except in baseless modes, they are necessary to facilitate base construction. In the first game, it could only be built in the last missions (or in multiplayer, with the tech level set to the highest value) and required the most advanced structures of the game to be built. Later Tiberium games lowered the requirement, such as only requiring a repair depot, and by ''Tiberium Wars'', a new MCV can be built with only a War Factory.

* DefenselessTransports
** Harvesters in ''Tiberian Dawn'' and ''Tiberian Sun'' are completely defenseless, but can withstand a lot of damage and safely return to base even under fire.
** Subverted with the three variants of Harvesters used by GDI and their divisions in ''Tiberium Wars'' since they either have weapons or gunports. Played straight with Harvesters used by Nod and Scrin.

* AntiAir[=/=]AntiVehicle: Their role is to pull double duty as anti-air and anti-vehicle units with their rocket launchers.

!!![=Commando=]

!!![=Chinook=]

!!![=Mammoth Mk.I=]

* RegeneratingHealth: Mammoth Tanks self-repair slowly, up to 50% health.

!!![=ORCA Assault Craft=]

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Mobile Repair Transport is a powerful asset, able to repair other vehicles on the move, while the infantry carried inside provides direct fire support. The MRT makes it possible for the Steel Talons vehicles to stay in a combat zone and take more fire than what most vehicles can sustain before either being destroyed or returning to base for repairs, allowing commanders to become more aggressive with their vehicles.

'''Trained at''': ]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Can destroy and entire base in a single shot, but it takes 5,000 credits to deploy, has low armour, and moves very slowly. A common get-around tactic for this is to send the Mastermind into an enemy base, find a building that gives the space to drop a Signal Transmitter, then summon the Mothership and order it to shoot the Signal Transmitter. Though the player loses a structure, the enemy base becomes rubble within seconds. And when we say the enemy base becomes rubble within seconds, [[https://youtu.be/GDXM6LEuvQ0?t=991 we mean it.]]

* TheArtifact: GDI engineers in ''Tiberium Wars'' still wear hard hats and harnesses over their protective suits.

* InvisibilityCloak: Nod Harvesters in ''Tiberium Wars'' are equip with portable stealth generator, make its stealthed when not unloading. Black Hand's Harvesters however don't have it.

* AntiAir:: Can engaging a limited number of enemy aircraft with it dorsal [=SAM=] launchers placed in independently traversing turrets.

** In general, the Grenade Squad has some rather goofy lines and a surfer dude-like voice to go with it. A good line in particular when ordered to clear a garrisoned building:

* {{Expy}}: They're very comparable to the [[Franchise/StarCraft Protoss Carrier]], as a flying Fortress that uses drone ships to attack instead of direct weaponry, and having a decent siege range.

Rather then have medics as the GDI does, Nod have chosen a different path, they augment human anatomy. The Cyborg is a fusion of man and machine that makes a truly deadly unit. The Cyborg is equipped with a powerful machine gun that is easily capable of cutting great swathes through enemy infantry forces. Even when blown in half (as they do when low on health), the Cyborg will continue to fight to the end.

* {{Cyborg}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well]], duh.

* HealThyself: Cyborg can heal themselves when standing on a tiberium.

* RoboSpeak
** "Scan initiated!"
** "Target acquired"
* SelfDestructiveCharge: When lost it leg.
* YouCallThatAWound: They can have their legs blasted off and still function properly. They can even be regen back to full health in tiberium, though losing their legs does slow them down.

* BadassBoast:
** "I can smell their fear!"
** "They will know fear!"

* {{Cyborg}}: In case the name didn't make it clear they are commando version of the relugar Cyborg.

* YouCallThatAWound: Share with normal Cyborg.
* SelfDestructiveCharge: Also share with normal Cyborg.

* HumongousMecha[=/=]SpiderTank: Granted, it's missing a pair of legs, but still it's gigantic freakin' bug.
* JackOfAllStats: In comparison to the MARV, which is a MasterOfAll thank's to it's versatility, and the Redeemer, which is a GlassCannon, the Eradicator Hexapod is in the middle-ground, having a decent amount of health, but nowhere near the amount that the MARV has, and their disks are more damaging than the MARV's main cannon, but not as much as the Redemeer's lasers. It's real specialty is that it surpasses even the MARV in versatility, thanks to the wide variety of abilities it can obtain from assimilating the Scrin infantry, the most prestigious of which is the one it gets from the Mastermind/Prodigy, which gives it the ability to teleport short distances. This, alongside having a Shock Trooper and a Ravager assimilated as well, will make it effective against every type of unit in the game, as they have an anti-infantry and anti-armor shard launcher from the Ravager, and an anti-armor and anti-aircraft plasma disc launcher from a Shock Trooper, making it not only capable of handling infantry, armor units, and aircraft all at once, but also capable of teleporting short distances. They also don't even need to take in Assimilators either, as having a squadron of Corrupters to heal it nearby will beat the purpose of the healing that the Assimilators provide due to them being able to heal the Eradicator at a much faster rate and it also being able to stack.

* {{Expy}}: Of the Terrorist unit used by the GLA in VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals.

* {{Expy}}: They're very comparable to the [[Franchise/StarCraft Protoss Carrier]], as a flying Fortress that uses Drone ships to attack instead of direct weaponry, and having a decent siege range.

* {{Expy}}: Tiberium Troopers are a direct successor to the Nod Chemical Warriors from ''Tiberian Dawn''. Also, they have a lot in common with the Dr. Thrax's Toxin Rebel unit from the ''Zero Hour'' expansion of ''Command & Conquer: Generals''.

GDI airborne infantry, they are equipped with a back-mounted jetpack unit and integrated chaingun cannon, with are effective against any ground unit or structure that cannot defend itself against aerial threats. Rockets and SAMs will quickly kill them, however.

The Orca Fighter is the basic GDI air assault craft. Rockets and SAMs easily destroy them, but they are fast and powerful, especially when used in teams. Their speed is their greatest asset. It is armed with 10 hellfire missiles that are effective against vehicles and structures.

* TripodTerror: While less durable than the Mammoth Tank and Avatar, it outguns them since it has multiple cannons (a Mammoth Tank will still beat it due to its armor).
