The Goliath-type is the mainline armored combat unit of the Combine, acting as their primary muscle in pitched battles. It combines excellent firepower, durability, and maneuverability into one lethal package.
The Goliath is well armed, carrying a turret-mounted vortex cannon as its primary weapon. The vortex cannon is an upscaled version of the infantry-scale gravity drivers used by Hoplites. As a secondary weapon system, it carries four VLS launchers housing nanite missiles. These warheads can function as anti tank missiles by unloading their nanite payloads into enemy vehicles.
Boasting considerable defensive measures, the Goliath is heavily armored, and carries a powerful gravity shield generator to help it absorb enemy fire. A top-mounted nanorifle turret is meant to protect the Goliath from infantry and other small, agile targets.
Propelled by three impulse drives, the Goliath-type is highly agile, and can cross most types of terrain at high speeds. Despite its bulk, it can turn on a dime, and has a top speed of 63 miles per hour. Most other MBTs would fin themselves badly outmaneuvered if they ever went up against a Goliath.
Their heavy firepower and high degree of maneuverability make them tricky opponents to deal with. These powerful walkers are effective against the heaviest MBTs that organic races have to offer.
