put a tank in front of it and move a warthog and go kill the power things and when the beam gets close to the tank just move the tank to the other side just make sure that it has atleast 3 power things killed

 

 

ps the tank can avoid the beam if i goes by fast enough

Best things to use early?  Four Scorpions, rush right, and Cannister the Node, that will kill it 90% of the time, then mop up resistance.  While doing this build another four Scorpions and rush left taking out the Nodes on the way, make sure to mop up the Locusts along each path.

Now after that you'll have a perfect pincer maneuver ready, get a few Cobras ready, don't move them, some Warthogs too, any type.

Use the Scorpions to Cannister the Nodes, take your time on which one to attack , make *** sure you get back into cover.  Hopefully, if your not silly, you'll take out all the nodes.  Now hopefully all the Nodes are gone, initiate the pincer, Scorpions to the extreme left, and right.  When the head gets near, send in a Warthog to 'encourage' the head to turn, they can be fast enough to divert it back to the middle.

While you distract 'His Mightyness', send a Rhino to each side (if they're alive), deploy them as far north as possible to the left and right, ONE EACH SIDE!  Having Cobra's in tow with Piercing shot for maximum effect will ensure victory.

I managed to wreck the Scarab on normal within 30-50 seconds of fire with this tactic.  Don't concentrate all your forces in one area, if your silly, or the AI is, one stray unit WILL KILL all your forces.

 

TIP: Move all forces away from your base at the start, move them south, somehow the Scarab sometimes sees them and constantly attacks.

Offensive Bias:I used Scorpions. Just got into the blind zone and pummeled it to death. Anyone else think the Super Scarab looks creepy with the whole head and neck thing?

yea, its a little creepy 

Offensive Bias: I couldn't find a blind zone.

M Shadle: How do I upgrade the MAC cannon?

Well for the "Micro Manager" achievement, I had usually 1 - 4 wolverines fully upgraded shooting it and dodging its beam while I mac'd it every so often. When it got down to red health, my base was about to be attackable by its beam, so I got two more wolverines up there on each side of its beam, and when it destroyed my vehicle depot I started spamming supply posts so it wouldn't attack any thing else. I also popped back up to my two wolverines and volleyed at it, and mac'd it when I could. I spent like 5 - 10 minutes doing the supply post spam thing.

 

Without the achievement, I did it on normal, and it was insanely easy after destroying all of the nodes. It barely moves.  

I can never seem to get any units to dodge the Scarab beam. This mission is really starting to frustrate me.

Just build a ton of cobras and lock them down outside the scarab

DDinfinty:How do you defeat the super scarab in mission 7?

Ok Here is how you defeat it...

 

Build tanks... And Upgrade all the way or at least just get the First upgrade which will give you the Y ability... 

Take the tanks Up to the base of the Scarab...but take it on the outside of the ray when it passes to the left you go with it...set it on one of the sides that the ray is not on...    Just attack and use the Y ability when its ready... when the beam comes at you Send one tank across still attacking and let the beam follow you...Then keep sending one more over every time it stops shooting ... just keep sending them back and forth when it comes back and you have them all over... just make sure to have the tanks out of the way  as it is following and shooting...

put a marine in the sniper tower next to the node, with forge next to them to draw attention. Then, have everything pile up on the scarab.

Tank > Banshee

build up marines 40 of them---39 i guess lol.....bring them around the left side and you can get them close without desttroying any power supplies...keep building them and you will take him out...

How I did it (and it's cheap) was that I just used the Emperor Skull to use my MAC faster and there's a glitch where you can Mac it twice really fast in the beginning. And it's not that bad or hard to do. Just use your first MAC and then look back after you use it and shoot it again, this makes it go by really fast. Tho, it would be better to use some Warthogs to kill it even faster if your getting by on Legendary because by the time you get it into the red you'll be dead.

I'm a beast in Deathmatch.
Not so beast in Standard but can still kinda hold my own.
Currently looking for decent partners in 2's and 3's whether it be Deathmatch or Standard.

I used Gauss hogs and MAC.

All these people do this overly complicated way.  I took out about 3 or 4 of the generators when I did this mission and made about 20 warthogs.  I kept ONE warthogs on the left, and 19 or so on the right.  As the spotlight moved, I didnt let it.  I drove my warthog through it and kept moving a few more yards; the beam would stop, turn red and fire.  Instantly after I would drive through it again, rinse and repeat.  I would keep it within the same 15 or so meters for almost 1:30-2:00.  It was incredibly easy.  On Heroic
