The [[Djinn]] amphibious teleporter works by warping the units from its Lamp teleport beacon to its present deployed location. It can relocate the Lamp entry point by using the '''Teleport Beacon''' ability on any desired point on the map, as long as it's not blocked by an occupying structure or impassable terrain. For more information on teleportation refer to [[teleportation|this]] page.

The [[Krow]] flying fortress has a special weapon that is only activated by the instant '''Drop Bombs''' command. Immediately upon command activation, the unit unleashes a salvo of bomblets directly beneath it, lasting several seconds.

The [[Thunderbird]] disarm bomber has only one weapon and will use it automatically upon designated targets. However, it is also possible to activate the lightning weapon immediately by the manual '''Unleash Lightning''' command - usually in response to unexpected maneuvers by the targeted enemies.

Similar to Thunderbird, the [[Claymore]] antisub hovercraft can fire its normal weapon manually. The '''Drop Depthcharge''' command causes its massive depth charge to be released directly beneath the unit as a timed bomb. It is best to quickly relocate the Claymore to another position after using this.
