A super beefy tank unit, I took a lot of inspiration from heavy construction vehicles (we have a lot of construction still going on in our neighbourhood) for this guy - and while it might not be the most practical setup, our animator Michael Cuevas did an amazing job setting up the first blockout and making the shoulder joints function believably.
I also used this unit as an opportunity to reuse the four-legged track design, since the original Crusader had gone back to a more classic tank tread look.
