The Core Defender is the CABAL epic unit. Voiced by

Tactical analysis

 * CABAL protector: Tasked with protecting CABAL's mainframe. The Core Defender is one of the deadliest cyborgs created by the brotherhood with a plasma cannon that can easily vaporize most vehicles, which it can also supercharge to take out stronger targets and/or defenses, and a plasma-based flamethrower to defend itself at close range.
 * I've had worse: In addition, the Core Defender is hardier than most infantry, and in the event it takes fatal damage it will lose its lower half, which only slows down the Core Defender, and once repaired it will regain its legs.
 * Just a robot: Note that the Core Defender has no equipment to counter aircraft, is rather fragile for an epic (being an infantry), and while resistant to small arms and cannon fire grenades and autocannons will tear it apart, and is too large to enter into garrisons.
 * Terminator: While in combat the Core Defender actually fights at half power and its built-in stealth generator is disabled. This is due to limiters built by the Brotherhood to make sure that if CABAL betrays them again it will be significantly weaker, making it easier for the Brotherhood to defeat it. But these limiters can be temporarily shut off if deemed necessary, making the Core Defender invisible, upgrade their plasma cannon into a plasma beam, and can easily repair itself from near death when not under fire.

Overview
By the (Third Tiberium) War, Nod has restarted its cybernetics program, with added security measures on CABAL to ensure that history does not repeat itself. The new generation of Cyborg Commandos, better known as Core Defenders, has been equipped with the same forward-firing plasma cannon as the old model, with the addition of a short-range flamethrower, allowing them to take out enemy infantry and garrisons.
