History
"It's a riddle. You're tiny and I have a steamroller."

-...

The Higgs Mass Tank came into being after researchers at the Divine Mercy Research Facility were experimenting with the Scrambler's S.H.R.I.N.K. beam. One of the scientists suggested reversing the polarity of the beam, and when they experimented on an old Leopard 1 tank ... nothing happened. At least, not yet. Nothing noticeable.

The scientists were disappointed, but then again ... not everything works like it does in the movies. The scientists conducted a few more tests firing on the tank with different settings, but they got tired of it, and went home for the day. The next day, when the scientists returned to their lab, the Leopard 1 had almost doubled in size, squashing a Vespa belonging to one of the scientists.

The scientists (except for the one who owned the Vespa) were amazed and excited by this new use of`the S.H.R.I.N.K. ray and quickly refined the ray into a useful weapon. This weapon (dubbed the M.A.S.S. beam) and a slower working version of the S.H.R.I.N.K. beam were installed onto a large tank chassis and voila, the Higgs was born.

The tank chassis had a steamroller attached to it to begin with and the scientists could not find a way to remove it without threatening the stability of the chassis. Due to the size and weight of the of the S.H.R.I.N.K. and M.A.S.S. beams, a scientist suggested using the steamroller to literally steamroll enemy units.

This worked especially well in theory, when two MASS Tanks were working together. One MASS Tank could shrink hostile units, while the other tank grew it, so the enlarged MASS Tank could then run over the enemy units. This tactic has not been put into practice yet, but it should be highly effective.
