Of all the mothballed Horde weapons to see new life with the return of the Guardians, the Mauler design has excelled. While power plant upgrades have not increased the vehicle's speed, it has made the power system more reliable when the new plasma cannons discharge. Before the upgrades, feedback from each discharge threatened to overload the electronics. Now that the technical difficulties have been corrected, the power of the heavy cannons can melt through the thickest armored vehicles the Val-kyrie can field, in time. Massed attacks can destroy units in short order. Thus, the Mauler's life expectancy on the battlefield is a matter of minutes when not fielded with a sizeable planetary assault force.
