The Tengu is a security robot manufactured by Kanegawa Industries that only saw battle once in the Third Great War.
Overview
The Tengu is a lightly armoured robot capable of hovering over water and armed with a machine gun effective against infantry. It is capable of snuffing out sneaky disguised Chinese Saboteurs, but has to be controlled by a Robot Ops Control Center.
Appearances
Act One
- In the Covert Ops mission Eclipse, Tengus appear among the enemy Pacific Front forces. They'll shut down once all Robot Ops Control Centers and designated War Factories are destroyed.

Trivia
- Prior to version 3.3.4, the Tengu already existed as an unused unit that could be spawned through the map editor introduced in version 3.3.3.
- The Tsurugi Powersuit's unit ID is actually named TENGU, while the Tengu's unit ID is MECHA. In addition, the Tsurugi's armor type is called "tengu" as well.
- Without doubt, this unit originates from the Red Alert 3 Mecha Tengu. It uses a similar model and armament, but cannot transform into a fighter jet.
