during last game I see 4 colossus being transformed immediatly into a colossus. is building a colossus this way less expensive than building it ?
other faction can do this ?

You probably mean (tele) sACUs using sacrifice to instantly build a colossus? It's not less expensive but has the advantage of being nearly instantaneous.
Only aeon have access to sacrifice so no, other factions can't do it.
You need 5 RAS support commanders with a sacrifice upgraide to be able to insta-build a collosus

yes it was a big surprise tu see a collusus appears like that in back of our base !
sacrifice can be used only to build colossus ?
using the sacrifice has no cost at all ?
@iostrym said in acu get transformed into colossus:

Congrats, now you know about it!

Sacrifice is a racial ability for aeon engies, you can build anything with it.

You use up the unit, whose cost gets added to the construction, so it's hardly free.
"tele-GC" is a strategy where you can make a colossus appear at the back of someone else's base (or basically anywhere on the map, including in the water)
So you need to spend at least 110k mass for every tele-GC and that's on top of needing a big infrastructure with T3 tech and lots of T3 pgens
