Description

Absolutely the most powerful of Japan's ground vehicles, the Hybrid Tank is a cross of the best elements of several weapons. Boasting a nearly impossible to overheat 200 mm cannon, and topped with two Crimson rockets, the machine was a marvel. Holding all the strengths of a tank and missile launcher, and none of their weaknesses, the vehicle was quickly dispatched. Traveling the roads to the Kilaak base, along with a half a dozen of its comrades, the drivers sought to end the alien threat with blasting gunfire. Unfortunately they met resistance. Resistance in the form of Godzilla and Anguirus. The twin guard dogs attacked vicariously, and stomped the belching Hybrids with little care. Crushing their metal hull beneath their clawed feet. Once again, the Kilaakian had been one step ahead of humanity, and mankind wondered, would they ever destroy this conquering race?
