Ankylosaurus Six LRM20s Tank
==Overview:==
The Glowing Rainbow Careporation designed the Ankylosaurus to could launch massive amounts of missiles at very long ranges and take the same.

==Capabilities:==
The Ankylosaurus Ten LRM20s Tank has ten exclusively vertically positioned Class 20 long range missiles launchers mounted in its body. This enables each launcher to have a 360 degrees attack vector thus enabling the tank to curvectorly attack a target around any side within range. The LRM20 launchers can’t be rotated, and so they mass 40% less; thus an Ankylosaurus normally can’t launch nonguided missiles at target(s) very efficiently. The tank has a long range targeting system to make long range attacks easier, but the targeting system interferes with short range attacks making them harder. The tank has a C3 Master system (without TAG) to enable it to directly hit targets as if the tank was in the same spot as the spotting unit it is linked to via the C3 network. Each of the ten LRM20 launchers is operated by a person of the tank, the last remaining crewperson drives the tank. Twelve hundred to twenty four hundred missiles are available in Ankylosaurus. The tank is greatly well armored of the Inner Sphere's Hardened Tantalum Hafnium-Carbide Hexagonal Diamond Lonsdaleite Armor of seventeen tons to originally to protect itself from fighters that might drop bombs onto it as as it goes to launching range. The tank has CASE II to protect itself in case engine and/or ammo explode. The tank also has an Angel ECM suite to protect it from electronic jamming.
All of the tank's features comes at a price, however. The tank can only
achieve a slow cruising speed of one and a half meters per second, a flanking speed of two and a fourth meters per second, and an overdrive of three meters per second. For this purpose the Make Do Salvage Co. advises that the Ankylosaurus be used in defending against attacking units or being dropped by airborne units when used in attacking roles and/or towed by faster units like the Mole Assault Tank by using its front and/or rear hitches. The Ankylosaurus can tow its composite trailer that has thirty tons of armor and fifty tons of LRMs ammunition.

==Battle History:==
Two Ankylosauruses provided decisive firepower for Glowing Rainbow Careporation in their battle. The Ankylosauruses fired semiguided LRMs at ten 'Mechs and heavily damaged two. Astonished by the massive missile barrages, the commander retreated his 'Mechs.

==Variants:==
No variants of the tank currently exist.

Targeting & Tracking System: Ring Their Wings Aerial Targeting System integrated with Far Away Long Range Targeting System

==Overview:==
The Hepatica was designed to provide decisive firepower against aerial vehicles.

==Capabilities:==
The Hepatica can cruise three meters per second, flank four and a half meters per second, and achieve a top speed of six meters per second. Though kind of slow, the speed does enable the tank to quickly go hull down which reduces its profile and an enemy fighter's ability to hit it.
The tank's weapons are five Splashin' Bashin' Inner Sphere Biggy Class Two Autocannons. The autocannons have a very long range which enables the Hepatica to effectively hit targets at high altitudes. The damage inflicted by the autocannons can cause an aerofighter to fly out of control. To enable the Hepatica to be more effective hitting flying targets, a Ring Their Wings Aerial Targeting System and a Far Away Long Range Targeting System. Six shells are available for each autocannon.
The armor on the tank is Defendo Armor's Hardened Tantalum Hafnium-Carbide Hexagonal Diamond Lonsdaleite Armor. The massive amount of armor provides a great deal of protection against strafing, striking, and bombing attacks and it is much more than what the Partisan Heavy Tank has. CASE is installed to protect the tank and its crew should its ammo and/or engine explode. The tank also has front and rear trailer hitches so it can pull other vehicles if necessary.

==Battle History:==
The Hepatica was first deployed against the Clans. The flak from the Hepaticas shot down several OmniFighters doing strafing runs. The Clan OmniFighters tried desperately return fire but were unsuccessful due to how the Hepaticas had already gone hull down in craters.

Amphibious Decoy Drone Assault Tank
Overview: The ADDAT was designed to go through close enemy formations to slow down and hinder them.

Capabilities: The ADDAT can move at a flank speed of nine meters per second. While slow, the ADDAT has plenty of short range missiles/torpedoes to launch. The ADDAT can go underwater too and has an Angel ECM to maintain communications hopefully.
