- For the version that appears in The Bureau, see Sectopod (Bureau)
An artificial warrior for the Alien Army, these huge robotic units are a massive threat to your squad members. They are armed with some of the best weaponry the Aliens have. Not only can they use a heavy plasma cannon built into its body but it has alien rocket salvos that it can use to lay waste to huge areas. It has an extra auto cannon that it can only use during Overwatch that does area of effect damage. Their armour is the very best around, it will take a huge deal of focus fire to take down and there is also the Drones it brings along with it to consider. It can also use both its turn moves for attacking, but only at different targets.
They are not as aggressive as Cyberdiscs but they are significantly more dangerous. They will usually stay still and destroy your squad from far away.
They are immune to most psionic attacks.

Abilities:
- Cannon Fire: Beam attack that causes high damage and grants free Overwatch. If the Sectopod does not move, Cannon Fire can be used twice (against different enemies).
- Cluster Bomb: Mark a large area, and after one turn, saturate it with a barrage of explosive minibombs. - Uses both of the Sectopod's actions for that turn. It enters a special deployed state and aims at the target location; on the following turn, it bombards the target area with many small explosives.
- Hardened: Hardened units receive extra protection against critical hits (-60% crit chance)
