And sometimes the Joe vehicle comes first:

X-33 = Defiant

Chinese launch complex = Defiant Launch Complex Crawler/Gantry

(Unfortunately the embedded link in that post is dead, but here is a story about the same event.)

Are we sure that they had the 105mm FlaK 38 in mind and not the 88mm FlaK 18, 36 or 37?

The Mauler was a concept tank called the "High Survivability Test Vehicle (Lightweight)" that was basically a fast-attack tank that could be dropped from a plane (apparently the Abrams is too heavy for that).

Are you sure the MOBAT wasn't an M60 Patton?

Yeah, the MOBAT doesn't really resemble the Sheridan.

It'll be nice if there were links to pics of the real vehicles...haha. I love how close to the real tank the Mauler looks. Wish they made the gunner's hatch open in the toy.
