Has anyone ever, in the history of UFO, stunned a Cyberdisk?  Is it worth
trying to, I mean does it have a good autopsy or give you new technology?
Same goes for Sectopod.  Are they really impossible to stun?

Anthropod

I have played on every level and only once I stunned a Cyberdisc and that was
with stun gas I do not know if it could be done with stun rods since I do not
wish to lose my troops psi have not worked either.

Is it worth trying to stun Cyberdisks or Sectopods though?

It's possible to stun an sectopod, i takes four times (4 squires)
so it's possible to have an half human/half alien creature but
it's not very helpful, for cyberdiscs: I don't know but if you get one you
will be able to use the plasma, the sectopod doesn't have any weapons (as I
remember)

I thought Sectopod had four plasma guns....

I think I read way back when that someone had done this with a stun
rod.

    Roger>   Is it worth trying to

Not in my opinion.

I do it all the time and I have never had any troubles. I think the
problem is that they just have an extremely high health.

There have been lots of times I've blasted it and had it drop unconscious.
Stun bombs have worked for me several times, too.

Guess it's just a matter of luck.

Speaking of stunning stuff, vortex bombs and toxin C work well for
stunning the alien Queen... ;)
