The M850 Grizzly is the heaviest armored vehicle in service with the [[UNSC Armed Forces]], and is usually deployed in situations that require devastating firepower and a resilient design in single mobile package.<ref name="universe"/> The M850 Grizzly shares a similar design to the [[M808 Scorpion]], also developed by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]]. For ease of mobility across varied terrain, the Grizzly is fitted with a four-bogey tread configuration, similar to the Scorpion's. Compared to the M808, the M850 MBT is more heavily armored due to its large profile. As with the Scorpion, the driver's access hatch is located in the center of the chassis in front of the turret.<ref name="EVG"/> | The M850 Grizzly is the heaviest armored vehicle in service with the [[UNSC Armed Forces]], and is usually deployed in situations that require devastating firepower and a resilient design in a single, mobile package.<ref name="universe"/> The M850 Grizzly shares a similar design to the [[M808 Scorpion]], also developed by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]].

The M850 Grizzly is protected by exceptionally thick armor plating that allows the tank to sustain large amounts of damage.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 251''</ref> The tank's resilient armor is capable of tolerating multiple blasts from [[heavy plasma cannon]]s. At {{Convert|12.3|m|ft|sp=us}} in length and a mass of over 71 tons, the Grizzly is larger than the Scorpion, although the latter reaches significantly higher speeds than the Grizzly's maximum speed at {{Convert|69|km/h|mph}}.<ref name="universe"/> | The M850 Grizzly is protected by exceptionally thick armor plating that allows the tank to sustain large amounts of damage.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 251''</ref> The tank's resilient armor is capable of tolerating multiple blasts from [[heavy plasma cannon]]s.
