This is really cool..that was my 1st guess for the RAM due to the "turbo". Though I 2nd guessed myself with either a Kawasaki KZ or Suzuki GPZ

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.)

Thanks for adding. Very cool.

[Konigstiger]

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

[KungFuDip]

very cool. never really took the time to think about this before

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?

[Konigstiger]

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

don't forget the H.I.S.S. Tank & the Ripsaw...

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.
