"Protect your crew in this armored beast"

Does anyone know what this is? Looks like a new Deliverer or something? The possibility of a ground transport besides the Sunderer is exciting...

Might be a side grade that removes weapons and allows more people to be seated in.

Wow, that's something completely new.

Very cool.

If i had to guess id say Deliverer. Unless they are remodeling the sunderer into a lower profile and sleeker look.

moosepoop · 2012-04-09, 11:58 AM

that looks BADASS

Looks like the Deliverer. However, could it be a surprise and we really are going to get to see Buggy's sooner than we thought? W/e it is, it looks awesome.

Actually it looks like an ANT to me.

I believe it was mentioned that they weren't bringing the ANT back... But if they were I'd be exceedingly happy! ANT-Bomb any1??

I doubt the Sunderer has been remodeled. The one we've seen has the exact right appearance for its job of being a gigantic, heavily armored transport vehicle.

I would expect a buggy to be fast and lightly armored...that vehicle looks a bit slower and more armored than something like the Thresher/Marauder/Enforcer from PS1. My money is on the Deliverer or a similar vehicle, especially since this is a common-pool vehicle.

Kind of strange though, I was under the impression the vehicle list we had seen so far was fairly solidified until release.

Yea, as far as I understand it the vehicle list is frozen. Naybe this is a concept for a future enhancement.

It is a vehicle, but what is it's purpose?

Oryon22 · 2012-04-09, 12:11 PM

I love it.

EVILPIG · 2012-04-09, 12:11 PM

It does look ANTish, but the tweet implies a transport. Given sidegrading, I would have to wonder just how much different the Deliverer could be from the Sunderer, unless the role of the Sunderer is leaning away from transport and more towards some of the support roles being considered.

the TR needs a raider variant of this vehicle. then i ejaculate immediately.
