Veggienauts Bramble Alternative - Cage of Thorns

[worldfamous]

Can those of you that are testing please describe what it does exactly, with the stats included? I'm just having a hard time getting exited about this unit. I would be excite about ravernorth's proposal but I'm just not falling in love with what I understand its current status is. From what I gather from the gameplay screenshot, it had 1 or 2 base HP and all vines have 1 hp and can be added a turn at a time. Just seems like to big of an investment for what it is.
