An unusual contraption born from the Chimera's research in psionics and cybernetic augmentation, the Mastermind is a large sluggish tank powered by what seems to be a giant cybernetic brain protected under a translucent dome . It is unclear whether or not it is sentient, but field reports show that it is crewed by a single Puppeteer who is linked up to the brain. The brain seems to act like an amplifier for the Puppeteer's psychic powers, allowing him to mind control more than one target. The technology is still relatively new, as the brain can't seem to cope with maintaining a 'mind link' with more than three subjects. Doing so will overload the brain, gradually damaging it until eventually the entire vehicle malfunctions and spontaneously explodes. It is also horrendously slow and lightly armoured, making it a high priority target whenever one appears on the battlefield.
