V.T.

The V.T (Vertical Tank) first saw use during the second Korean war. The first VT was created in Japan as the successor to the popular line of HAL Exoskeletons. The army was only able to effectively use the HAL suites for logistics and asked CYBERDYNE to work with Boston Dynamics and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to produce something with more military use. They combined and made the worlds first bi-pedal tank the V.T. Shogun V1

The modern V.T. work using a series of propulsion engines to maniuplate treads combined with traditional bipedal movement. They are usually equipped with missile and large machine guns. The Current models are equipped with melee weapons to deal with other V.T. in combat
