Background

One of the first needs of the Scrin forces was scouting. Although their Buzzer infantry was fast and cheap enough for that role, most of the lifeforms in the Tiberium infected planets they attacked had adjusted to fit in the Tiberium wilderness and become naked to they eye, giving the Scrin many scout casualties. The inabillity of the Buzzers to be enhanced with electric signal detectors to find hidden hostile lifeforms forced the Scrin to develop a new unit for scouting purposes. After long and costly adjustments to a Razorback, the first Seeker prototype had been created.

The Seeker was able to take out flying targets easily and to face light vehicles face to face while taking minimum damage. For that reason they were the first ground vehicles used on Earth. Although they were able to wreck havoc to the human light forces, the Scrin soon faced heavier armor in the form of Titans and Scorpions. For that reason the Overlord granted them access to a long forgotten unused unit upgrade, Tiberium Enhancements. That upgrade offered the unit more armor and arguably more powerful plasma disks, allowing it to survive longer or even win in a battle against enemy tank divisions.

The Harvester Murderer
Although a good unit to use in battle, the Seeker offers the player a cheap, fast and pretty effective economy killing strategy. Being able to heal in Tiberium and to detect stealth, neither the GDI nor the Nod harvesters can protect themselves from the Seekers.
