Are you quite sure? The game does not describe them as having the raider ability.
Razorbacks have raider. Hammerheads have somewhat of a raider. Talons do NOT have raider.
Already made some testing with the razorbacks:
- it can kill 3 missile squads when fighting them 1 by 1
- it looses a 1vs2 against missile squads
- 2 of them will defeat a zonetrooper squad
- 1 can not defeat a single zone trooper member, even with boost, but it was very close
- it deals some damage to vehicles
- the dps against infantry is as high, maybe even higher, as the shatterer, but shatterer is better against zones because of the stun
- base damage is bad
- it has quite some HP, more than a talon, a bit less than a mohawk
- I made a line of 4 missile squads and send 2 razorbacks on the sides flying on the sides of the missiles, 1 squad survived, but that was because they all focused down one razorback
- right now there is a bug, units directly below the razorback do not take damage, but this should be fixed soon
Personal opinion:
Really good unit! A lot of fun to use too, gunning down infantry XD
GDI's counterpart to the chembuggy, maybe even stronger. I hope the bug gets fixed soon.
I already did battle with this son of a b**** unit. Typical very little can counter it when you don't have the money to spend onion has to counter it.
What I'd like to know is how he got it and it's not available for purchase yet? More EA game favoritism going on?

Firstly: There is a 100 diamond offer in the store if you didn't notice - buy a rare crate and get a 10% chance to get 30 razorback cards. Got it on my second buy. I had diamonds saved up.
Secondly: Wtf do you mean "very little can counter it when you don't have the money"? Every unit is unlockable without paying, just send talons at it jeez... Don't send missile squads, they just melt...
I’d still rather use the Talon. The Talon serves 2 roles. Anti infantry and anti air. With the Talon, I can take down Orcas, Orca Bombers, Venoms, Banshees, Kodiaks, Drone Swarms, and every infantry Unit out there for 30 Tiberium.
Replacing the Talon with this will make me have to give up another slot to put the Hammerhead in it which is pretty useless for anything else.
We only have 6 slots. It’s best to try to make ever unit you use serve 2 roles.
It takes a talon forever to kill chem troops and it looses against lasers.
With more units you have more options to make a deck. This one unit can enable a new deck which was missing a key unit before.
Do you know what makes chembuggy so damn strong? It‘s damage combined with the raider ability. Talons have to stay still to attack, making them an easy target for bikes. And even if they attack, their damage isn‘t that great. Razorback can move around infantry while dodging enemy bikes. It‘s also a lot of fun to use!
Nobody is forcing you to use the new unit. You don‘t have to. Play how you want. I personally will use it x)

Your posts are always so negative. Anyway, a Talon, Banshee, Hammerhead, Phantom, Pitbull, Attack Bike, Slingshot, APC, Rhino, Buggy, and all the anti air units in the Tech lab and Temple of Nod can take it down.
