The Siege Breakers are a small mercenary unit of elite ex-Confederate pilots. They claim they can solve all one's problems with one shot of their vehicles with mounted customized and "overcharged" cannons[1]
The Siege Breakers were active during the Second Great War, offering their services to Raynor's Raiders after the Raiders made off with another artifact component from Xil.[1] There were also members in other mercenary organizations, such as Mira's Mercs.[2]

AbilitiesThe siege tank transforms, becoming stationary and using a different weapon. The ability is not smartcast. In Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, Siege Tech does not need to be researched.
Upgrades
Attack upgrades improve attack cooldown of affected units by 5% per level. These self-replicating ultra capacitors reduce the reload time of weapons and systems. Now each of the weapon upgrades at the armory and engineering bay increases attack speed by 5% in addition to increasing damage.
Increases the armor of terran vehicles
Vanadium Plating Armor upgrades increase health of affected units by 5% per level.[3] We have created a new lightweight alloy called vanadium. Vanadium diffuses weapon impacts much more efficiently than traditional armor plating, and it better preserves the life of our units. Now each of the armor upgrades in the armory and engineering bay increases unit life by 5% in addition to increasing armor.
Damaged mechanical units recover hit points when out of combat, at a rate of 0.6015 each second.[5]
DevelopmentCaution was applied when designing the Siege Breakers due to experience from developing the siege tanks originally, with the heavy fan backlash that was involved. However, the customizations were quite extensive, and nearly warranted remodeling the siege tank completely. All six transforming plates, the gun barrels, and the turret plates were brand new custom pieces of art based off a preliminary siege tank concept from Blizzard's cinematic department.. The plates were quite bulky and had many different interesting levels which caught the light. Unlike the siege tank, which was designed to be "gritty," the Siege Breaker vehicles "embraced" color.[6] Japanese Voice By:Ryotaro Okiayu References
