After deactivating the nuclear protocol, the orbital collision into Europa remained active. The Guardians quickly retreated into a lower hallway of the Rapture, but were followed by Taniks who mercilessly blasted them with his Molten Welder.

He re-emerges from the debris as '''Taniks, the Abomination'''; his lower body having fused with a nuclear-powered [[Heavy Shank]] to become a more dangerous monstrosity.

Without his nuclear-fueled powers to wipe them in an instant, Taniks creates a defensive Shock Field which the Guardians must enter to deal damage against him. In his final stand, Taniks teleports around the [[Restricted]] crash site | He re-emerges from the debris as '''Taniks, the Abomination'''; his lower body having fused with a nuclear-powered [[Heavy Shank]] to become a more dangerous monstrosity.
