Designer Notes

The Behemoth Ammo Loader strips out the seats and crew accomodations of its Gear-carrying predessor in favor of a huge, 300 cubic meter cargo bay capable of storing a variety of ammo lockers, cases, clips and fuel cells of all types. The Ammo Loader Behemoth also sports two folding multi-jointed gripper tool arms located above the cab parasol area. These arms can reach far into the loading bay through a retractable access hatch in the roof of the vehicle, lock onto and withdraw whatever mission-based ordnance is required. Though loved by Gear and tank crews that relied on the "Ammy" for desperately needed supplies, the original Ammo Loader Behemoths were plagued not by mechanical problems, but by crews that refused to drive the dangerous, explosives-packed vehicles. Northco soon issued a field kit consisting of new heavy duty crew cabin plating, roll bars, and an enforced bulkhead behind the crew cabin with pyrotechnic slabs inserted. This system would allow the Ammo Loader Behemoth to literally "pop off its head" in case of emergency.
