Way back in 1983 GI JOE launched the PAC RAT Programmed Assault Computer Rapid All Terrain remote control weapons program. It was largely successful so in 1985 they started to develop a larger Tank version based off the new Armadillo Tank. The Armadillo being small and light was the perfect platform for this idea. The advances in remote technology allowed the Joes to be able to control the Mouse from a much greater distance. Also a new radar technology allowed them to program the Mouse to automatically fire on the enemy when engaged.
This was inspired by the German WW2 Super Tank called the Mouse. The Mouse was the German gigantic monster tank. It was going to be the number VIII Panzer Tank. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche, 'yes that Porsche'. With full armament it would weigh an impressive 207 tons and about 33 feet long,50 percent bigger than the Royal Tiger Tank.Only two prototypes were built in 1944 just before the war ended. The only remaining Mouse rests in the WW2 museum in Russia. I wanted to take the name 'Mouse' and use it on a small tank for the good guys. It's an Armadillo with a Wolverine missile rack. I added some extra armour plates and a antenna. Hope you enjoy it.
