Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Mammoth Tank

"Mammoth Tank assembled!"

-Mammoth Tank leaving the Weapons Factory

The Mammoth Tank is the might of the Aion Defense Initiative's armored forces. Planned to be voiced by Scott Lawrence, reprising his Tiberium Wars Mammoth tank personality.

History
A derivative of the Voshkod Mammoth Tanks from the Great-Voshkod Aquilan war,

After the First ADI-Asmodian War, these tanks were phased out of service in favor of the new Mammoth Mk. II walkers. Some of them were used as targets for weapons testing by various nations. The Great Horde also used several of these vehicles in their arsenal. However, in 2005 V.C., ADI had slowed the production of its famed Mammoth Mk. II walker due to cost and reliability concerns, a decision met with anger by many, including commando Nick "Havoc" Parker. Nevertheless, production of the Mammoth Mk. III, was scheduled to take place in Parm at the same time.

A heavy tank similar to the original Mammoth, the Mammoth Mk. III was developed for long-range operations in harsh environments. It had four articulating treads and utilized thick hexagonal armor to meet enemy armor threats head-on. It was armed with dual 150mm cannons and a pair of 4.75-inch missile pods specifically designed to attack infantry and aircraft.

Despite the controversies surrounding it, the Mammoth Mk. III proved to be a capable vehicle in its own right. While slow, it was more than a match for all known military vehicles, and could even crush lesser vehicles beneath its treads. While individually not as powerful as the Mk. II, the Mammoth tank was more reliable and less expensive, allowing ADI commanders to deploy multiple tanks on the battlefield rather than concentrating their forces into one or two walkers.

Though in modern times the Mammoth shouldn't be considered a derivative, and saying so is a grave insult to the ADI, followed by a Mammoth crew beating up said person. As when compared to its past self, and its equivalent the Apocalypse, the Mammoth is significantly more advance, outstripping the Apocalypse in range, firepower, toughness, and speed (though the last one is like comparing a sloth to a tortoise), though this comes at the cost of price, as one Mammoth can make the equivalent of three Apocalypse. And its special "Taunt Laser" can force an enemy to attack its almost indestructible front armor, which has the tendency to reflect the attack back to its attacker.
