the Equalizer

After stripping the turret off an old Mauler for use in its new vehicle, the Lynx, the Slaughter's Marauders made use of the remaining tank body, mainly by adding an enormous missile launcher system where the turret was formerly mounted. The resulting Equalizer has these vehicular characteristics:

Anti-Personnel Charges: scattered about the Equalizer are several shaped charges rigged to explode should someone be foolish enough to try and hop on (assuming they're armed). If enemy personnel set these off, they will suffer Remarkable (30) Edged Attack damage - at point blank range!

Armored Hull: the Equalizer's 57 ton frame is built from a 60 layer, titanium alloy / micro-mesh bonded hull. Giving it considerable durability, this construction provides the Equalizer the listed Body and Protection scores above, making it extremely difficult to defeat in battle.

Armored Side-Skirts: these steel plates offer the treads of the Equalizer the vehicle's base Protection; however, they don't totally shield the things from enemy fire, so a called shot will hit them normally (they do, however, have Remarkable (30) material strength all by themselves).

Communications Array: the Equalizer is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, allowing for constant team communications. This makes for Good (10) comm power (with a 2,500 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.

Dual-Pulsing Machine Guns: mounted on the Equalizer's launcher, these twinned anti-lock machine guns can be fired in a short burst to inflict Excellent (20) Shooting damage, or Remarkable (30) Shooting damage in a full auto spread, adding +1 CS if both are fired in tandem.

Gear Cases: the Equalizer has, spread about it, various cases filled with useful gear. It has a fully stocked first aid kit, tool kit, and a small case for its pilots' arms and ammo, should the Equalizer get disabled and its occupants have to fight it out directly.

Optical Targeting System: the mammoth MXZ-105 mm Earthquake cannon on the Equalizer is assisted by a powerful target acquisition system. This holographic system gives the tank gunner a 3-D view of his target and environs, allowing him a +1 CS to hit with the Earthquake cannon.

Radar Suite: the Equalizer is armed with an early-warning radar system, enhanced with sonic and infra red detectors. These serve to warn its operators of threats before they become critical, and help them to lock on to said threats with their missile launchers with Excellent (20) ability.

Smoke Dispensers: the Equalizer is equipped with special smoke emitters that cause it and the area it occupies to be filled with an obscuring white smoke. This acts to defeat optical enemy targeting systems (or simple human opponents) with Good (10) ability.

Surface to Air Missile Launcher: the Equalizer is armed with a large bank of missiles which it can launch at airborne targets. They inflict the listed damage when fired singly, adding +1 CS for two, +2 CS for four, or +3 CS for all six. They have these statistics:
