As far as I can see he mostly used 1 same mesh and just changed how it looks using animation. He probably made that last upgrade, and so if you compress them in animation like in tier 1 or 2 it wont be noticeable. Clever and that's why it has great file size.
Of course I could be wrong but :p

Looks good man, 5/5 +rep

i only have one question... it reverts back to it's original form after i issue 2 orders to the advanced version (animation 4,5 etc). how do i stop this? or is it even preventable?

You must set the required animation names (Upgrade Second or Upgrade First) in the object editor to set the tier of the model you wish to use. Look at human tower buildings for an example.

Alternatively, I believe adding an animation tag (Upgrade Second or Upgrade First) with triggers should work as well. However, this method will skip the corresponding birth animation unless you separately order it to be played.
