Looks okay for such a vaunted drop. The resistances are impressive, but it doesn't have a ton more health than a mega or mammoth tank, and the machine gun attacks leave something to be desired on offense against frontline-type units...if it had some sort of tank cannon that would greatly change things. Poor damage type leaves it with mediocre damage (compared to AS frags) when facing armor, and while it is good against unarmmored infantry, it really seems like nothing more than a tough shield with a meh machine gun. An RT strike plus another solid anit-tank attack could probably kill it quite reliably. Or a weapon tech plus any strong attack of that AMP attack (and that's probably a one-shot kill). Given it's poor offensive abilities and vulnerablity to the weapon's tech, it's rather disappointing for a rare boss drop. I'd rather have another AS frag than this. On the bright side, seeing as two of these are attached to the goliath tank, it means that just put some strong frontline units and these won't have much of an effect (until armor goes down, so kill the center part quickly, or bring a WT to take these out early on). And to the SUV/Wildboar comment, I'd say it's more of a Portable Electric Fence+SUV affair. Just saying.
