In the original X-Com your little foreign buddy could wake up and run off during the mission. Does this happen in the new one, or are they out cold for the rest of the mission regardless of duration?

The aliens never wake up from their tasered state.
Keep in mind that they are still vulnerable to damage and an alien grenade, car explosion or rocket blast in their proximity will still kill the neutralized aliens, depriving you of a live captured alien.

12I had one recent mission where a muton grenaded two of his stunned pals and one of my squaddies. Aliens are bastards. – Shadur-don't-feed-the-AI Dec 03 '12 at 08:27

@Shadur - this is fascinating. Do you believe he intentionally grenaded his fallen comrades to kill them? Or was the AI simply targeting your soldier who happened to be near 2 incapacitated mutons? – Drew Dec 03 '12 at 18:03

In retrospect, probably the latter. – Shadur-don't-feed-the-AI Dec 03 '12 at 18:12

Could they be mind controlled while in tasered state? – Michel Dec 03 '12 at 19:05

they are untargetable while in tasered state, only area effect abilities/damage like a grenade, exploding car and maybe a rift storm (the last psychic ability) which i haven't tried on a tasered alien yet. – jonleech Dec 04 '12 at 00:36
