Hi! I finally got the chance to upload these images! feel free to post suggestions, comments, criticisms (helpful ones not just flames) anytime!

Overview:
Name=IVI SPAFV-34 'Stegodon' Land Destroyer
Producer=IVI
Produced for=GDI
Powerplant=Small Contained Cold Fusion Reactor (Generating approx. 22,000 hp)
Armaments=2x 150mm HP Mass Drivers, 2x STA Rocket Pods, 1x twin 60mm AC, 4x 4.7mm caseless miniguns
Speed=45mph on road, 30mph on conter, 28mph on rough

GDI contacted IVI again to revive the old mammoth tank projects that were abandoned when the more devastating Mech systems came into being. Mammoth tanks were, in a way, cheaper to produce than the behemoth Mammoth Mk2. battle walker.
Following the events in western China of a GDI force fleeing an overwhelming Nod armor division (using IVI light tanks as well as Brotherhood's) the GDI force stumbled upon an abandoned GDI base left behind when the area became inhospitable. There were old pre 2nd tibwar mammoth tanks as well as unoptimized medium tanks parked in it. Using whatever resources at hand, some of the veterans piloted the mammoth tanks and tried to hold a perimeter defense. Sad to say, the advanced ceramic armor and rapid fire mass driver and agility provided by the MRP reactors tech equipped onto the IVI light tanks the pursuing Nod armor were using eventually turned the mammoth tanks and medium tanks into raw materials. However, victory came at a cost to the Nod armor; for even though outdated, the mammoth tanks sure were like the devil to kill unlike the old medium tanks who were almost like ancient armored cars rahter than tanks. GDI command seriously considered revivng Mammoth tanks projects with the help of.. yours truly Very Happy

Pros: The Stegodon will destroy any light tank (even Isserel's light tank) within 2 salvos.
The Stegodon has anti aircraft capability. Although the rockets are slow, they deal considerable damage and will fall orcas and banshees alike
The Stegodon can receive a lion's share of damage before dying and when it does, it's cold fusion reactor self destructs, taking with the stegodon everything whithin a decent radius.
The Stegodon costs 500 units less than the Mammy Mk2.

Cons: The Stegodon is horrendously slow, maybe a bit faster than the Mammy but a bit slower than the titan
The Stegodon's cannons reload slowly. with enough light tanks, it is possible to bring down the stegodon (IVI light tanks have very fast ROF)
Watch out for the Self Destruct mode, it affects friendly troops too.
The Stegodon has a hard time hitting extremely fast aircraft. If it gets lucky, it will bring down a banshee almost instantly. (A banshee in my personal mod has a speed of 40 btw) Very Happy

there it is!

btw, dont worry about the dark squares, they're meant to be ERA (explosive reactive armor for added survivability)

A bit too cartoonish, don't you think?
But the design is perfect.

Holee Swigg! that's awesome. You shouldn't use the whole name ingame, it's gonna be a little long...

Another beautifully crafted voxel, once more, IVI.

I absolutely love the design, and the inclusion of ERA Wink

.

I do feel its a little darker in the main colour scheme than the others, and I feel this makes it stand out a bit from the others..

And Chielscape, there is nothing wrong with the light parts. In fact, some contrast is GOOD, it helps keep the details visible, and for the barrels, helps show where they're aiming.

And.. wonderfully enough, we have a Titan in the shot too. Like to tell me what colour that is?
And the Titan has no problems..
