Line 150:
Weapon especially associated with LC. after few shots turning off the unit. Electro-cannon has relatively high damage (armor piercing as every energy gun) and ability of cutting off the power hence it is often used as a main LC weapon.

The MSH 12 sonic hammer used on the Moon to break down huge rocks in the mines was converted into one of the Lunar Corporation's best weapons. A sonic cannon operates on the microwave generator principle. Resonance wave oscillations that occur withing range increase the target vehicles' temperature, leading to complete destruction. But the sonic cannon won't inflict any damage on the LC's own vehicles and structures, since these have special protective materials. Sonic and laser cannons are based on the same principle, though there is one major difference. With a sonic cannon, you can heat-blast ALL enemy vehicles withing the blast's range, not just the one at the time. And you can do this without damaging your own vehicles.
In brief: It releases a pulse which causes damage around the unit ignoring ally objects. The closer the target is to the blast, the more damage it will take.

Crucial thing is to remember that '''ANY thing mounted in the second slot (intended for light weapons) will not work, except the ''Banner'' and ''Building Grabber''''' (even if the game allows to do that). So do not delude yourself. Even small sonic cannon won't add any bonus damage, even if an interface shows improved stats. Same of course happens to the rockets and anti-rockets.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Air Sonic Cannon'''''[[File:Earth2150 LC aS.png|150px|thumb|center|Heavy Sonic Cannon upg.1]] || Strongest and most efficient out of all sonic weapons. Air units have access to discharge sonic pulse directly above target unit exposing it to the highest burst from this cannon. Only Thunderer can be equipped with this weapon.
