MEC Trooper (EU2012)
The Mech Trooper is a new class of soldier that is introduced by the Enemy Within DLC. A Mech Trooper requires Meld and can be created from any of your existing soldiers (from any class) after building the Cybernetic Labs. The soldier will lose all of its existing abilities but see its HP increase and will have its own abilities tree, starting with Shock-Absorbent Armor.
Mech Troopers have also specialized armor, in the form of the Mechanized Exoskeleton Cybersuit (MEC Suit), and will carry new weapons such as the Minigun, Railgun and an energy weapon upgrade, along with a Kinetic Strike Module (KSM), a melee type weapon.
