My ranking of the clankers based on how powerful their squad becomes upon activating squad command. Every clanker is the same: either has a bit more HP or DPS or both than the regular unit version, as well as the talents:  
  
•Cut ability cost by 50%

  
•Increase its duration to 20s  


•200% speed boost at max level for the whole squad (while active).

•25% received damage reduction (active)  


•75% negative effects duration (active)

  
This ranking is pretty much about which troop type befits the most from squad command  
  
1. BMB-CMD-011 (Bombardier): Bombardiers are already in the top 3 best troops in the game as some would argue that they get outclassed by laser rangers due to lasers attack speed. However, having Bombardiers movement and attack speed boosted 200% is overpowered, even though it's for just 3 Bombardiers; that's more than enough DPS output for these 3 to destroy a core.  
  
2. ZK-CMD-003 (Zooka): Same thing as the previous one, though this one has greater DPS output due to the smaller unit size and faster attack speed. The only downside with the zooka squad command is it's risky considering the fact zookas have a shorter attack range than bombardiers which means they could walk in attacking range of defences before the tanking units catch up. Still an S tier.  
  
3. HLC-CMD-013 (Rocket choppa): Squad actually works great with RC due to how fast their attack speed is at base state, pair that with the leech engraving and they could heal themselves faster than the defences could hurt them (except against the canon types). This one is in A tier only because you can only carry 2 RC on a maxed landing craft.  
  
4. SGT. AMANI KAPATA (Who invited this guy?): This dude thought he could blend in with the cyborgs with this Halloween fit he bought from walgreens. He's out here in the middle of a battle field chucking cardboard cutouts around 😭 they don't even want his ahh in kitchen duty. Seriously though, y'all think he was intended to have squad command originally but was changed at the last second to what he is now for some reason?  
  
5. TNK-CMD-005 (Tank): The squad command deals with the tanks' slow movement, however their base DPS isn't that incredible. I feel like they just get the same performance as the regular bombardiers with this boost but with shorter range, just replace them with the geezer at this point.  
  
6. GRN-CMD-007 (Grenadier): Grenadiers are best used in large numbers to deal great amounts of damage in a large area, except that a maxed landing craft can only hold 5 grenadiers, and considering their poor aim their boosted DPS output wouldn't be noticeable. However, they'll be pretty useful at clearing mines, so having a boat of them with the cyber leader could prove useful at protecting your main dps troops from mines.  
  
7. GBR-CMD-002 (Heavy): I can't really think of a benefit that a boat of heavies could gain from this speed boost, their DPS is garbage because they're supposed to be tanking units of course so it's pointless. Maybe you could flare them to stall some defences on the side or something. Also, what does the GBR in the name stand for?  
  
8. MCH-CMD-012 (Mech): Same rant as the heavies; dps is not great, health is higher than a heavy but inferior to scorchers. Mechs are only used for their shock effect thus this boost is meaningless.  
  
9. CRN-CMD-010 (Cryoneer): I 100% believe firmly that this leader is just the devs trolling us because in what world would the cryos need a speed boost? Their firing range is short so they dies pretty easily even with tanks, their freeze effect lasts for a couple of second; enough time for them to fire again and DPS  is equivalent to throwing microwaved honeybuns at a 20m tall stainless steel canon. THE SPEED BOOST IS SO TRASH AT THEIR HANDS AND THIS LEADER IS JUST HERE TO THROW YOUR RECRUITING JACKPOT LUCK IN THE GARBAGE.
