UNSC MT88-G Rhodesian Mobile Weapons Platform

Meet the MT-88G Mobile Weapons Platform, the quote per quote "Gunship" variant of the MT-88 Landship. The "G" variant of the MT-88 is often shortened to "Rhodesian" harkening to the breed of dog rumoured to be strong enough to fight a lion. This variant often replaces the roof mounted spare wheel with an AI controlled M68 Asynchronous Linear Induction Motor "Guass Cannon", and sports a driver controlled 130mm Smooth Bore High Velocity Cannon firing High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) projectiles. This larger turret is controlled via the Passenger Seat articulated HUD monitor (to be shown later). The Rhodesian sports a hidden underlayer of Ceramic Heat Dispersion paint, which reduces the vehicles heat signature as well as disperses the heat of plasma-weaponry thereby reducing damage. Some variants of this vehicle maintain the rear ramp, usually this is due to the vehicle being a temporary "Gunship" variant, though variants without the rear ramp are built to permenantly keep their turrets.

Also featured in this post is a close glimpse of the MT-88's opening hood/bonet assembly with the fully built up engine detail.
