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:
| C Ex 20 |
S Ex 20 |
B Rm 30 |
P Ex 20 |
LA-44 Missile Launchers: 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 the listed damage for one missile, +1 CS for two, +2 CS for four, and +3 CS for all six:
| C Ex 20 |
S Un 100 |
B Ex 20 |
Damage Remarkable (30) Edged Attack (fragmentary) |
Rear-Deck Fighting Platform: though the Armadillo only has room inside for one (it's small, you know), the thing does have a platform on back that two passengers can use to hang on for dear life, in a pinch. Of course, they lack the Protection rating the driver benefits from, but it beats walking.
