Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Chrono Miner

The Chrono Miner is the Alliance of Hawke primary ore miner. This Harvester is set to be planned to be voiced by Tara Strong

Tactical analysis

 * Ready as ever: The prototype to Prospectors, the Chrono Miner is amphibious, heavily armoured and capable of carrying a considerable amount of ore, but travels rather slowly on treads.
 * In the blink of an eye: The Chrono Miner is equipped with a mini-Chronosphere to chronoshift itself along with ore to somewhere around one of its commander's refinery, or chronoshift to the MCV when ordered. This makes return trips much faster, and an emergency chronoshift can be used to thwart harassment attempts, though half of the resources will be lost.
 * Let's dump these stuff: The Chrono Miner also leaves hitch hikers like Terror Drones or Burst Drones behind when chronoshifting home, making harassment more difficult.
 * Rolling with a chrono convoy: The Chrono Miner is unarmed unless treads count. Its ability has a cooldown during which it is helpless against anything it can't crush(that's a lot).

History
Ore Trucks played an essential role on both sides of the GVAW, as they collected raw minerals from faraway ore mines and brought them back to be processed at a refinery to fund their commanders' war efforts. The war also exposed several drawbacks of these trucks. They were completely unarmed and slow enough to be chased down by opposing AFVs, making them extremely vulnerable when transiting between refineries and ore mines. Also, sometimes their drivers got lost or stuck on the way home until being found and guided back to base by their commanders, who usually wouldn't notice their ore trucks went missing until being informed of insufficient funds.

Shortly after the war, all major powers started to design new dedicated ore collectors with survivability in mind. While the Voshkod added reactive armor and an HMG, the Aquilans adopted the Shredders to perform oremining while retaining their construction duties, the ADI adopted a bunker to protect themselves, the Protectorate simply jury-rigged a pair of machine guns and Encantadia just retain it by adopting modern technologies, AseliaTech came up with something more elegant: the Chrono Miner. Outfitted with a chronoshift device, which is the earliest known success of attempts to miniaturize a Chronosphere, the Chrono Miner can simply chronoshift away from their harassers while carrying the ore load home to refine, solving the problems of pathfinding and survivability at once. However, to be simplified enough to mass produce at a reasonable cost and prevent reverse-engineering, the device can only chronoshift the miner to a location fifty meters around pre-determined coordinates, usually set to refineries(for obvious reasons) and the regional MCV (in case all refineries are lost but miners survive) once in a while. The Alliance was contented and soon adopted the Chrono Miner as their second-generation ore collector. Though the Prospector is still used due to it being cheaper to mass-produce/essential to expand their base.
