Um, well, no. At least not on this end.

Well, OK, I do see your point, but there is a lot of other stuff out
there. (Incidentally, I like 1 Plasma Cannon and 1 Plasma Destructor...
pick your weapon based on whether or not you want to be able to move.

Keep in mind, though, that you hvae to unload the termies into a
building! This was Q&A'ed, and while that isn't really official I'd
stick by it whether or not I was the one fielding the pods. BTW, I'd
count both the Emperor and the Mega-Gargant as buildings.... ^_^

> I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is a Corvus Assault Head?

Well, I think you can guess... from what I remember hearing, it only
holds one stand of Termies (it's a bit smaller than the pod), but it's
usually taken to hold four.
