Microphone

The Microphone is a Tier 3 tank that upgrades from the Mini Swarmer, the Tailgator, the Launcher and the Puncher at level 60.

Design
The Microphone has a circular body and multiple guns overlapped.

Technical
The Microphone fires hives, rotating bullets with bee spawners on them, at a slow rate. Its hives' bees are very fast but do not deal a lot of damage. Getting hit by the hive itself deals a chunk of damage as well. The Microphone also has a very slightly increased field of view. It also fires a Tailgator bullet.

Upgrades to

 * Nothing

As the Microphone

 * Fire your hives at enemies at long range and let their bees chip them down.
 * Bees are great at circumventing the enemy's defense as they are both fast and can come from a lot of different angles at once.
 * At close range, don't be afraid to fire your hive directly into an enemy as it still has the strength of Pounder bullets.

Against the Microphone

 * Bullet spammers can easily destroy the Microphone's bullets.
 * Bees do not deal that much damage at once, making the Microphone vulnerable to enemies that can one-shot it.
 * The Microphone does not have a high rate of fire nor can it defend itself from its flank well.

Trivia

 * When it was initially released, it only upgraded from Mini Swarmer, Tailgator and Launcher. It upgrading from Puncher was only added later.
 * Upgrading through Puncher is the only path to Microphone that does not skip a tier, as all of its pre-evolutions are Tier 3 while only Puncher is tier 4.
