PROFILE: One of the most lethal tanks in the Republic arsenal, the Electric Tank spews electricity in 180 degrees direction from its 8.5m Double-Barreled Electric Cannon to cripple or disable enemy units. It is also capable of burning through enemy tank and structure armour with ease when the electricity cannons are operating at full capacity. Even when the Electric Tank has its Electric Cannon disabled, it can also deliver or high-density, armour-piercing shells or 150 cm high explosive shells into enemy targets near and far. It also has the ability to activate shields (powered by its Field Generators) to defend itself from enemy firepower for short periods of time. These tanks also have the ability to disable or destroy enemy aircraft with its secondary EMP (electromagnetic Pulse) missile batteries or its Rapid-Fire Anti-Air turrets, which can instantly blast any aircraft, even heavily armoured aircraft such as Megabot Airyagers, out of the air and onto the ground in mere seconds.

An upgrade has been recently been added to the Electric Tank, allowing it to have four highly mobile and efficient BRR (Battle, Repair and Recon) Drones, which are armed with machine guns and a variety of sensory equipment, which can protect the tank in the battlefield, expedite emergency repairs and detect invisible enemy troops as well as anti-tank Megabots. In fact, they are capable of bringing them down with deadly efficiency. It is also widely known that the Composite Layered Reinforced Titanium Armour is impervious to most heavy arms fire and even High-Concentrated laser blasts. Its speed is also fast for a tank that size, as other tanks in the Republic Army cannot move as fast as the Electric Tank even at maximum speed.

WEAKNESSES: However, it is noted that when the Double-Barreled Electric Cannons are operating at full efficiency for long periods of time,  this may overheat the electric cannons and cause the tank to blow up easily, hereby damaging nearby friendly and allied units. Many wounded and fatalities have resulted due to this problem. To combat the overheating problem, two advanced coolant systems are in-built into the electric cannon's generators to cool the heating generators when their temperatures have reached critical limits.

Reports have also indicated that some of the gunnery crews are found modifying the voltage output of the Double-Barreled Electric Cannons to give the Electric Tank more firepower. However, such practices are greatly frowned upon and in some cases; strictly forbidden, as such dangerous modifications make these rolling electric generators even more prone to disastrous internal explosions, which has cost several gunnery crew their limbs and lives.

HISTORY PROFILE: Recently, the Republic forces is suffering massive tank and infantry losses at the frontlines with the Megabots, who made highly advanced tank-bots that can cut through infantry and tanks alike and destroy them with ease. To combat this threat, the RCOG (Republic Council of Generals) of the Republic Military Command ordered its military industries to build tanks that can survive intense enemy firepower and can damage lots of Megabots over a wide area. Experiments and development resulted in many older versions of tanks, which did not fare well in engagements and campaigns against the Megabots, and so new improvements and upgrades must be added to newer models of tanks churned out of those industries.

Since such massive engagements are often unavoidable, the Republic Military Industries eventually made the electric tank, a heavily armoured tank in which considerations were made such that such a unit can also provide heavy fire support and anti-air capabilities to knock out both land and air units too massive for infantry to deal with in the battlefield.

Now, the Electric Tanks are deployed in both small-scale and large-scale engagements against the Megabots, and they are boosted with extra troops and other heavy firepower tanks for protection. They are often deployed when there are large amounts of Megabot infantry-bots in the region and in addition, they are also frequently organized with squads of tank troops or standard assault infantry or even heavy assault infantry. They can also be entrenched to provide covering fire and they can also shield infantry squads with their high-powered shields. These powerfully-generate shields can protect the tank and the attached squads from incoming enemy fire while allowing them to open fire on enemy forces without worrying about getting hit.

These tanks are also seen mounted at defense outposts to cripple Megabot infanry and even on Republic warships (with magnetic soles)  to provide defense against Megabot ships as assault/defense turrets and cripple the Megabots’ troops before they can attack the warships directly from their own warships.
