I've built Scarabs in the past and it seems like they are a waste of money. It is the most power unit in the game, don't get me wrong. However, it's big and flashy and it immediately becomes the target of all enemy forces. So it gets completely destroyed right off the bat when you have it and your other units go up against another enemy force.

I don't know. It seems like a waste of money and unit space.

The Mac would destroy a Scarab. They don't have time to heal, its dead in 1 second.

On another note in an online game today I destoryed a Scarab with 1 Elite Honor Guard

scarabs are pointless against the honor guard, they get in too close for the scarab to attack. so all you have to do to easy kill a scarab is surround it with 6 or 9 honor guard and it cant escape because they will be in the way.

The other teams were morons for not destroying you when you wiped out your own units tbh. And 6 scarabs is way overkill

what if you went 3v3, and 2 guys on your team made 1 Scarab each and the rest Engineers, and the 3rd guy made all Engineers and split them between the 2 Scarabs, so that way each Scarab has like friggin...50 or 60 Engineers (im assuming your allies Engineers can heal your Scarab, not sure). if that happened, would 4 MAC blasts be able to take out the Scarab before the 60 Engineers could heal it? or would the MAC just kill the Engineers and probably the Scarab too?
