Halo Rhino Tank - Fully Articulated Model Kit

The M-145D Mobile Artillery Assault Platform (MAAP), commonly known as the Rhino, is a UNSC artillery tank. Using a prototype plasma cannon, it represented the first successful attempt by the UNSC to introduce a reverse-engineered technology from the Covenant Empire. The centerpiece of the Rhino is its experimental 320mm main cannon codenamed "Zeus." Based on technology recovered following the Liberation of Harvest, the cannon harnesses and directs plasma energy in a manner similar to other Plasma weaponry. However in order to fire its Zeus cannon the Rhino must be engaged in lockdown mode, rendering the vehicle immobile. It is for this reason that the Rhino features an unorthodox orientation for its six tread tracks and is much wider than the Scorpion or even Grizzly tanks. During the Human-Covenant war the Rhino saw limited service but gave an excellent showing of itself during engagements with the Covenant, with information gathered from them used to further along other projects.
