the Tiger Cat

The Tiger Cat is a somewhat modified Snow Cat, in that this version of the vehicle is designed to traverse extreme desert climes (instead of its original design as an Arctic assault vehicle). Still driven by Frostbite of course, the Tiger Cat is equipped with the following capabilities:

Armor Plating (s): the Tiger Cat is a rather sturdy cold weather fighting vehicle, possessing a material strength of 12 overall. Furthermore, it offers those within (the driver and up to one passenger) +2 body armor while they are within; this would be more, save for the large, glass canopy on the 'Cat...

Avalanche Ski Missiles (i): the Tiger Cat has two of these missiles mounted on it, one to each side. These curious projectiles don't fly at a foe, so much as rocket towards him on the ground thanks to a large ski beneath its thruster. The ski missiles inflict intensity 12 damage to their target. *

Communications Array (i): the Tiger Cat is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, allowing for constant team communications. This makes for intensity 5 comm power (a 100 mile range) that has intensity 10 signal encryption.

Half-Track Drive (a): the Tiger Cat has a rather versatile drive mechanism, in that it does have two all-wheel drive wheels up front, but is primarily propelled by a large track mechanism in the rear. This allows the vehicle to traverse most any terrain, without a significant loss of speed.

HE-27 Shockwave Missiles (i): the primary armament on the Tiger Cat, these four projectiles are launched from a rear-mounted, rotational missile turret that can traverse at up to a 45 degree angle. These handy surface to surface/air missiles inflict intensity 10 damage to their targets. *

Lightning Speed (a): the Tiger Cat has the ability to move relatively slowly, though at a like speed on virtually any terrain. As such, it has this power after a fashion, moving about at approximately sixty miles an hour, which grants it intensity 4 'lightning speed'.

Personnel Battle Platforms (Passengers): the Tiger Cat, while it has room for one passenger in addition to its driver, is also equipped with three battle platforms. Each of these external platforms - one on the rear, the other two on each side of the 'Cat - can carry two additional troops if necessary.

Xenon Spotlamps (i): the Tiger Cat has two sets of lights, in the event that one is knocked out (or covered in snow). The first set is on the front, while the other is a roof-mounted auxiliary pair. They can produce intensity 8 illumination each, +2 if used in tandem.

* All six of the Tiger Cat's missiles, whether they be airborne or ground-based, explode with a splash effect around whatever they strike. In other words, they will inflict the listed amount of damage to their target as well as everything else within striking (near missile) distance.
