Vindictus Ultra-Heavy Tank

(Legacy Content)
The Vindictus class ultra-heavy tank is a monstrous vehicle of tremendous and terrible size and power constructed by Tyrralore for The Tyrralorean Defense Initiative, used for crushing not only rebellions but demon incursions as well. Its enormous destructive capability has earned it the nick-name "city-buster" by those who bare witness as the massive vehicle quickly rumbles down cracked streets. Powered by P.U.L.S.E. energy, the Vindictus can single-handedly destroy legions of infantry or hordes of less powerful vehicles and continue to the next engagement without stopping, it has rightfully earned its place amongst Tyrralore's war machine. Due to the immense weight and power constraints of the vehicle, it has been deemed unsuitable for being P.U.L.S.E.-lifted, and thusly the only model in existence, the Mk1, is described below.

Author's Notes

This is my entry for the Inktober 2019 prompt: "Tread." A bit of housekeeping, but who wouldn't want a super cool tank?
