Mechband dish

Mechband dish

A mech-band signaling device more powerful than the mechlink antenna. When activated, it puts out an ultra-powerful mech signal pulse, which will attract a mechanoid commander to attack with its escorts. If you defeat it, you can collect special technology from its corpse. The signal pulse burns out the dish, so this building can only be used once.
