Their shots deflected off of the King Oni's white armor (which must be some sort of new compound), even as it barreled into the tanks, simply crushing them underfoot as though they were children's playthings.Īlright so after actually putting the time to read up on the A-Tank here is what I learned.Īnything with 88mm to 90mm AP rounds and above will damage it.
An early battlefield report involving the King Oni suggested that just one of these robots, when faced with an entire tank platoon, simply charged the main battle tanks head-on. And the King Oni is remarkably capable of fighting with its own body, using its massive arms and shoulders to crush anything that stands in its way. The 'eyes' of this robot conceal energy weapons that can reduce a tank to molten ruin in seconds. Indeed, the King Oni's combat capabilities alone are more than enough to dampen an opposing army's spirits. However, battlefield performance reports of this vehicle are very sobering, and suggest that its bizarre form factor is not merely a play against enemy morale.
It remains unknown why the Japanese military was compelled to design such an unorthodox fighting machine as this humanoid-shaped construct, which stands approximately six stories tall and evokes images of a mechanical, hulking ogre.
