The Sudden Transport can be very useful when ambushing an enemy. Any commander who neglected a proper base defence may find a rather nasty surprise in the form of Imperial Warriors, Tankbusters or Shinobis pouring out of these transports in the middle of his base. This can cause considerable havoc and may serve as a useful diversion while a larger force attacks from another direction. A transport loaded with engineers may sneak into the middle of a base and capture vital facilities such as, say, the construction yard, severely crippling an enemy.
