Sonic Tank

The Sonic Tank is the latest unit-of-the-week, the third Atreides unit for the month. Since the unit rendering isn't new, check out the details below:

The Sonic Tank has achieved great popularity among Atreides field commanders. Tough, reliable and moderately fast, Sonic Tanks form the backbone of many armored platoons under Achillus' command. Expelling sonic energy through a cannon barrel powered by twin impulse turbines, Sonics Tanks pose a major threat to infantry and light vehicles. As the sonic wave impacts, the molecular bonds of both human tissue and light metal armor are literally ruptured and displaced by a vacuum of searing atmospheric particles. The effect is complete molecular breakdown and trauma, leaving the target immobilized and for the most part, a degenerated mass of chaotic energy. Armored installations and heavy artillery tend to weather the sonic effects better. Humans, both friend and foe, in the immediate vicinity of a high-volume sonic wave can experience injury and death without auditory protection. The Atreides consider themselves lucky to possess such amazing technology. But the price of research and development can often be high. During prototype production, three Atreides engineers lost their lives as a sonic turbine fell from a crane and exploded, unleashing a sonic blast powerful enough to spread the engineers' remains over a 3-kilometer radius.

The Sonic Tank is a take off of the weirding modules used in the movie but in tank form. Take a look at the transformation of the Sonic Tank between the three Dune games below:
