After the Psychic Dominator Disaster, the Soviets introduced a new design of their Tesla trooper. It was more powerful than the old version, but more vulnerable to tanks as it could be crushed by them. They allies had a "counterpart" of this unit, the Legionnaire. After the Soviet time travel, the new Tesla troopers had a similar design to this one but had far better armor and could use a secondary ability to block vehicles and they could not be crushed by tier 1 and 2 vehicles.
