Following my construction of the Triumph Class LAVs, I decided Tabletown needed
something heavier to engage the enemy forces of BestLockLand, and so here we
are!

This is the Sinister Industries Aggressor Class MBT (Main Battle Tank). Weighing
in at 65 metric tons, the Aggressor is designed for one purpose and one purpose
alone- to dominate any battlefield by engaging and destroying enemy armour. It
performs this task superbly, and can even be used for secondary tasks, such is
its versatility, but more of that later...

Yes, again I'm using parts almost exclusively from set 7992 - the Container
Stacker. Well, I like the green! This time, I've used pieces from two of those
sets, plus a sprinkling of other bits for the usual greebling etc. I actually
took apart two of my Triumph LAV's to build this monster - but don't worry, the
parts are on order to restore my LAV Platoon to its full strength of four
vehicles very soon.

As you can see from the picture below, the Aggressor hugs the ground very
tightly, but it has variable-height suspension to cope with bumpy rides.

The Aggressor is equipped with a single 200-megajoule electro-magnetic rail gun
capable of engaging targets with accuracy over a distance of up to five miles
(assuming the target is visible of course). The gun features a central core
which handles any recoil within the main housing and which can be swapped out
for a new core in a matter of minutes by skilled engineers, although this is
obviously not possible in the field.

The Aggressor features a heavy-duty turret mounted on a low-chassis and carries
thick armour resistant to most types of modern projectile. The Aggressor is
sealed against all NBC threats, although in the case of this MBT, crewmembers
would only be able to survive for up to three days on board as the Aggressor's
hungry power systems would soon deplete its batteries and fuel supply. The
Aggressor can also ford rivers and operate for brief periods underwater.
