Even Better lets start a Religion on it, we've got the evidence in this thread. Call your self Joe Smitt, base yourself in Jackson County OHIO, and we could write the "Book of Crassus" and go forth into the world as missionaries spreading the Gospel in the "Church of Latter Day Armoured Assault Transports". It's no more Mentally ill than it's equivalents and who knows the next POTUS might be a member of our order?

People, people, people.

Whilst the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is clearly a very manly vehicle, it does not hold a candle to "The Spike" from Necropolis by Dan Abnett.

How is it manly you say? BECAUSE THEY MOUNTED A GUN RESERVED FOR A CAPITAL STARSHIP ON A ROLLING PYRAMID! AND THEN GAVE IT EVEN MORE GUNS!

But of course the true manliest tank is clearly the Leman Russ MBT... with a Land Raider belonging to the Blood Angels coming a close second because Blood Angel Land Raider drive logic is as follows

"I can't keep up with the rest of the army... I know, I'll have myself launched from a transport aicraft several thousand feet up travelling at speeds greater than the speed of sound!"

Definitely the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT- the actual contest worth entering is second manliest, which for me is a tie between the fortress of arrogance:

This is what I get for having to sleep,, I allow that fiendish Crassus to remain in existence.

The Fortress of Arrogance is quite manly, as riding around on the biggest target on the battlefield with virtually no protection says something.

That, and Yarrick is seriously manly.

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

See the front part of the huge track carrying the Ork kannon (in red) ? That's the size of your castle tank. So add a second one in the back, plus a humongous cannon in-between them, and you got the mega Ork tank, dwarfing your puny castle tank.
