Big vehicle, long post. Pic heavy, thanks for bearing with me!
At long last I have finished my Sandalorian tank build! Just like with their swoops and other vehicles the Sandos steal, salvage, or bash together vehicles from existing parts they find or take on Tatooine. In their arsenal are many stolen Republic and Imperial vehicles such as this repurposed and retrofitted Republic TX-130 Fighter Tank. With added weaponry and armor the Sandalorian Juggernaut Tank is bristling with deadliness--literally! Covered in razor sharp durasteel spikes this tank packs nearly as much firepower as an AT-AT walker.
The Sando Juggernaut comes fully equipped sporting 2 heavily armored frontal ramming tusks with razor wire stretched between them for catching enemies on foot, the razor wire can also be electrified for an extra jolt of pain. Make it beyond the razor wire and you enter the "maw of death" all 3 sides of the "U" shaped opening in the front of the tank has been filled with durasteel spikes and at the very end, are 2 EMP launchers to disable enemy vehicles, shields, or droids. Above the maw are twin double barreled Taim and Bak decimation class cannons (85% of the forepower of the AT-AT heavy cannons) which were intended for delivery to a munitions factory for use on a Moff's personal attack shuttle. The two modified "ear" cannons on either side of the cockpit and gunner's hatch are Merr-Sonn medium repeating anti-personnel pulse projectors both with built-in self contained munitions drum feeds each with a 2000 rounds capacity. atop the gunner's hatch is a swiveling light chain cannon with friend/foe droid brain targeting system and manual control which can be fired by the pilot, co-pilot, or main gunner remotely. Directly behind the right ear cannon there is a mounted heavy repeating blaster cannon with self contained ammo box and cooling system. This can be detached and carried off the tank into the battle as a heavy support weapon. There are two anchoring ropes one on either side of the tank that can be used to allow a brave Sando warrior to ride the "hood" of the tank into battle showing their fearlessness, or to tie a prisoner to the front of the tank and ride them into battle to take enemy fire like a shield. There are also spare oxygen filter tanks, Sando rags and bandages, decorative skulls, and enemies' heads on durasteel spikes decorating the hull of the tank. As well as some supply packs, ammo bags, and rations pockets affixed as well.
