M145D Rhino

Rhino

The Rhino is a UNSC tank in Halo Wars. No info has been released about it yet but it has been theorized to be a large and heavy tank due to the nature of its name. It is believed to be one of the tanks in the Halo Wars concept art.

Appearance
The Rhino seems to be a similar looking tank to the Scorpion with several differences. While it has the same double bogie set up for it's tracks, it seems distinctly larger (compared to the warthog in the picture), the gun turret seems very different to that of the scorpion and it's chassis seems to be shorter than bogies (more so than the Scorpion)

Speculation
Due to the possibility of it being a heavy tank, it could carry a high caliber gun, possibly 100, 120 (normal by modern standards) or 150mm  and a machine gun mounted coaxial on the turret, on a cupola (either on the turret or on the hull like the Halo 3 Scorpion) or on the hull and due to its larger gun and the way its positioned in the picture it might be a self propelled artillery vehicle. Also due to its larger size and mass it may not be air mobile, at least not by a Pelican but perhaps by an Albatross dropship.
