finally it's a skimmer that isn't destroyed when it's immobilised.
it's one of the few vehicles that functions like a 'taxi' with the added bonus of teleporting, even 'necron' units locked in assault can be saved via the teleport...
as for weapons, it has superb in-close defense weapons which fire at nearby enemies upto 6 times...
the cruelest thing of all though is the teleport's effect with the 'we'll be back' rules; units that teleport can re-roll any failed WBB rolls! 
and you can combine the effects of a res orb too. when facing a pair of these behemoths and a pile of warriors, it become very difficult to keep any of them down while the 'liths are active...

They really need to update Codex: Necrons for this very reason: the monolith. The re-rolling WBB, the D6 at every unit in 12", the teleporting (both itself and troops), the particle whip, the immunity from chainfists, meltas and the like, and skimmer, with AV14, it's all far too much for one vehicle that costs less than a land raider. Monoliths are definitely worth more than 235 points.
Perhaps I'm just bitter because some cheap-shots at Adepticon used 3 of these in one battle...
