The Fusion Torchtank is the result of an ongoing Orlais project to develop a clean, renewable source of power based on the theoretical "fusion" of atoms, a process by which two atoms come together to form one element of a higher atomic number. It is hoped that the process of fusion will be simpler than that of atomic fission, a process that only the Empire knows how to do and refuses to share with others. The project has shown promising results; the first successful test generated a staggering 1.21 gigawatts of power. Unfortunately, this power manifested as a long tongue of blue flame that melted the entire humanities branch of the University of Orlais, the most devastating event in the university's history since the fire of 1670 V.C. Civilian investors were turned off by these results, but the military immediately placed an order for two hundred units.

Now undergoing field trials, Alliance Command has high hopes for the Torchtank. In tests, the refined 'Fusion Torch' that gives the vehicle its name has shown itself capable of melting, vaporizing or otherwise completely destroying any material it came up against in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, the Torchtank is hampered by an unfortunate combination of thin armor and short range. Hoping to mitigate this, Alliance Command has taken steps to increase the vehicle's mobility, by allowing it to use its Fusion Torch as an improvised rocket to take (somewhat comical-looking) flight. Though it cannot use its weapon when flying for obvious reasons, it can use this mode to close with the enemy, escape attacks, or simply cross bodies of water.
