the Armadillo Mini-Tank
The Armadillo is a small, lightweight assault vehicle built in the form of a tank. Much smaller than a regular piece of armor, the Armadillo can easily be towed or even transported by helicopter (it will fit handily in the Tomahawk cargo bay).
This small green marvel of modern technology packs quite a punch for a vehicle the size of a Ford ™ Escort ™, and was modified by Slaughter's Marauders to have the following capabilities:
Body Armor (s): thanks to its welded aluminum laminate hull armor, the Armadillo is highly resistant to enemy fire for such a small vehicle. It has an effective material strength of 13, and provides its operator +3 protection from attack (folks on the fighting platform aren't so lucky).
LA-44 Missile Launchers (i): replacing the Armadillo's old Cluster Cannon, this bank of launchers can fire six XXX-010 Surface to Surface / Surface to Air missiles at a target, inflicting intensity 10 damage for one missile, with a +1 for each additional projectile.
Lightning Speed (a): the whole point of building a vehicle like the Armadillo is to get a ton of firepower somewhere fast. It is small enough that it can move with an effective speed of 75 miles per hour (intensity 4 movement), +1 on level surfaces.
Rear-Deck Fighting Platform (Passengers): though the Armadillo only has room inside for one (it's small, you know), it has a platform on back that two passengers can use to hang on for dear life. Of course, they lack the Body Armor the driver benefits from, but it beats walking.
