This cheat code transforms the following in Big Berthas: Stone Throwers, Catapults, and Heavy Catapults.

This cheat gives the following siege units 100 more range: Ballista, and Helepolis. As this cheat doesn't change the Line of Sight of these units, moving targets that aren't within the original range of the Ballista/Helepolis might not be attacked until they come within.

The Catapult/Big Bertha is the final stage, so when this is destroyed it is final.

This cheat spawns the "Zug 209" mech unit, which is only obtainable via cheats. The Zug 209 unit has 20 attack, 100 HP, 15 range, and 10 armor/pierce armor. It attacks at a slower rate than Photon Man, despite having a higher attack.

This cheat is similar to the BIG DADDY cheat code - it spawns a white car that is armed with a rocket launcher, named Winsett's Other Z (BIG DADDY spawns Winsett's Z, which is black). The rocket launcher in this car has much lower attack than the Winsett's Z (600), but fires at 5 times its speed, which makes them about even.
