Featuring prominently in Cortex Command's opening cinematics and other artwork, the "Whitebot" soldiers with their white brainmech have yet to be seen in any builds or releases. It's said that the Mark I Dropship and one of the rockets used by the TradeStar are intended as Techion [[Actor#Craft | crafts]]. Prior to Build27, a laser rifle similar to the weapon held by a Techion in developer concept art was listed as a TradeStar item but was removed from the Buy menu; likewise for the Blaster Pistol. Possibly the Techion will field laser weaponry. Weaponry confirmed to be in development include a full range of "Pulsar" weapons, a "Warp Grenade" (offensive nature unknown), and both a grenade and a "goo" thrower which seems to be nanobot-based deconstructors.

Weaponry is somewhat exotic, with a full line of "pulsar" energy weapons similar to blasters, nanite-based weapons which destroy affected body parts, a pair of "nucleo" weapons which function like short-range seeker explosives, and a short-range kill beam called the Dihelical Cannon. Additionally the Techion have a thrown teleportation device to warp its user to wherever it lands; this provides unique bunker breaching capabilities.

"The Techion were formed by a small group of elite corporations focusing on high-tech research and man[u]facture. They are sometimes employed and trusted by the TradeStars to do guard and escort duty." [1]


Techion thus far only have infantry units, no turrets, mecha, or craft. Whitebot soldiers feature prominently in Cortex Command's opening cinematics and artwork, though their white "brainmech" has yet to be seen in any builds or releases.

Weaponry is somewhat exotic, with a full line of "pulsar" energy weapons similar to blasters, nanite-based weapons which destroy affected body parts, a pair of "nucleo" weapons which function like short-range seeker explosives, and a short-range kill beam called the Dihelical Cannon. Additionally the Techion have a thrown teleportation device to warp its user to wherever it lands; this provides unique bunker breaching capabilities.

Infantry

Techion field both light and heavy conventional infantry. They are higher quality and more expensive than average, combining considerable mobility and durability.

Some concept art has been released showing possible Techion infantry units.

Whitebot

  • Gold Value: 100
  • Description: "Light-weight yet sturdy, the versatile Whitebot performs well on and off the battlefield."

Standard Techion trooper seen is the opening cinematic. Occasionally called a "priest bot" with its thin, aescetic appearance and plain, dark-blue body armor.

Silver Man

Silver Man concept art

  • Gold Value: 150
  • Description: "The Silver Man -- the Techion's heavy unit -- has a strong nanite coating which minimizes penetration damage and patches holes in seconds. As a result, it does not bleed out like other units."

Briefly described by the developers as "not the standard Techion trooper, more a terminator-like heavy". Unusual compared to other Techion concepts for having two eyes rather than the standard cyclopian appearance.
