M650 Mastodon

The M650 Mastodon is a large-scale transport vehicle of the United Nations Space Command, primarily utilized by the UNSC Army and colonial defense forces.

Specifications
M650 Mastodons have large troop compartments that allow them to carry heavy infantry, such as several Spartans in MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. Additionally, their protective armor shields them from most heavy weaponry. However, their size makes Mastodons difficult to deploy and they lack the mobility of smaller troop carriers, such as the far-less protected M831 Warthog.

Operational history
The M650 Mastodon was widely used by the UNSC Army and colonial defense forces throughout the Human-Covenant War. During the conflict on Installation 00 between the Banished and the crew of, Jerome-092 sought to initiate the production of Mastodons to minimize infantry casualties, as troops were in short supply and reinforcements were unlikely.
