The Demolisher is one of the most dangerous vehicles to encounter, and can easily punish an unaware commander. With an initiative of 1, it's one the last units to move in a round, but with twin AC/20's, it can easily blast a hole in heavy 'Mechs, or even bring down a light 'Mech in 1 salvo. Eliminating it quickly is imperative, and can easily be done by stomping on it with a Light 'Mech at the beginning of a round, without giving it a chance to fire.
