Unit conversion or combination gimmick

Allow upgrading level 3, 6 and 9 units with maximum experience to level 1, 2 and 3 experimental units, taking into account that experimental units are 2.5 times more expensive.
Alternatively, allows upgrading 3 adjacent units of the same level into experimental units.
This upgrade does not happen immediately, and requires a round of showing the opponent that the upgrade is in progress.

I've played through survival mode many times and I've realized that each experimental unit has its own unique tech. I'd like to be able to use these units under limited conditions.

I like the concept. I'd tweak it a bit, instead of a full round for the conversion make it like the flanking teleport, a timed animation where the units are stationary, can't fire, and cant use abilities. Probably a longer timer though

The dev bear like did have a pining kind of fondness for those megatron robots that come from other robots combining. I don't know if he'll ever get it there, because it would require a lot of effort...but it was mentioned as something he had a fondness for and wishes they could do eventually....this seems like a different thing, that might inch progress towards that forward.
