Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/T-279 Golem

"T-279 Golem, ready to rumble!"

-Golem

Exclusively to the Vieran Reserves that replaces the T-14 Armata "Ogre", the T-279 Golem Tank is an advanced heavy tank notable for its amphibious capability, as well as its sheer survivability in any kind of environment, being completely immune to biological and chemical hazards, electromagnetic pulse weapons, and nuclear radiation. This tank is planned to be voiced by Nicholas Boulton.

History
"..."

-... Having received a blank cheque for her weapons development project from Lunafreya, one of Fran's top priorities was the creation of an exclusive tank for her division as a alternative to the T-14 Armata. The Big 3 monsters was considered unsuited due to a number of factors, such as its poor power-to-weight ratio, mechanical complexity and the fact it was sold on the export market which compromised the secrecy of its inner workings. During the Aquilan campaign, a Shock Division stationed in Limsa Lominsa field-tested the first prototype series of a tank that was heavily based on an experimental design from the GVAW era, the enigmatic Object 279. However, during subsequent battles agains Aquilans in the 2004 V.C. invasion, the tank was deemed insufficient, leading to the original design's blueprints and manufacturing rights brought by Encantadia (of which led to the ET-279 Shagohod tank) and a complete redesign that entered service just in time for the Andoran Crisis. Dubbed the Golem, this new heavy tank offered superior protection and a more rapid-fire 152mm cannon than the unwieldy big 3 monsters, and was later equipped with an electromagnetic coilgun.

 * The design of the Golem is based on the ROTR Hanpatch version
