Cobra Car

The Shelby Cobra is a Cheat Unit in Age of Empires II. It consists of a blue and white AC Cobra that fires round bullets at its targets. It can only be spawned by entering its cheat code, "HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON". It is similar to the Winsett's Z and Winsett's Other Z cars from Age of Empires (the latter coming from Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome) in the fact that they are all cars that use firearms to destroy other units.

Overview
The major difference between this cheat unit from its Winsett Z predecessors in the previous Age of Empires is that its attack and range are significantly weaker. A large number of heavily armored siege equipment can out range this unit and outgun it in combat. Additionally, a heavily fortified village can take out this cheat unit if left unattended and used for scouting. This is probably done to reduce the strength of these cheat units so that the opponent can not be dominated as easily. Nevertheless, since they can be built for free, a large number of them can easily level out an entire underdeveloped settlement.
