Powercore

A range of power cores, shown on the pre-attack screen

A Powercore is a separate section of the snake-like Colossatron, which has its own specific properties based on its color. There are three basic types, each represented by a primary color, and three secondary types, represented by a secondary color.

Powercores are usually obtained by finding them drifting nearby as you attack a city. Powercores are able to be combined outside of Colossatron as well, simply by taking hold of one Powercore and dragging it through another.

Each color has a range of special abilities, one of which is free to use each day at random, and are available at any time if you purchase them. Once an ability is purchased, you can manually equip that type at any point, if you so choose.

Each of these Powercores has a given amount of health, losing them as they take damage. When it is out of health, it becomes non-functional and can be "thrown" at enemies, blowing up like a grenade.

Power-Ups

There are also power-ups, which can only be obtained by destroying question marked cache or buying by money, for an expensive cost. Power-ups are also like Powercores, which can be attached on the Colossatron. Buying a power-up grants you a random one, so think carefully before buying it. There are 3 power-ups:

Mega Bomb		A bomb which can be manually activated by tapping the powercore. If it is critically damaged, it detaches from Colossatron and detonates after a few seconds of delay. When activated, it explodes, destroying everything on the screen but Colossatron and any of its powercores. Great for clearing a huge wave of enemies or when your Colossatron is struggling to survive.
Shield		Absorbs damage in a radius equivalent to 2 powercores. As it absorbs oncoming fire, the shielding radius narrows until it is completely gone. Untouched for a few seconds, the remaining shield regenerates itself, not the Core, at a moderate speed. If the shield bubble is completely gone, the shield disables for a few seconds, only to immediately fully-regenerate. Great for defending Tier 2 and 3 Powercores or protecting on-build powercores.
Rapid Fire		Double the attack/repair speed of adjacent powercores. If it were to be placed by the Colossatron's head, it does not earn its buff (does not spit fire/regenerate/halve the cool-down of shock roars, depending on the chosen gadget.) The buff also doesn't stack, so if a powercore is in between 2 Rapid Fire power-ups, it only gets the buff once. Great for slow attack speed powercores or very high attack speed ones.

Trivia

• According in-game lore from the news reporter about mystery, scientists doesn't even sure where these powercores are coming from. But they will need to research a little more about them.
