- Armored personnel carrier.
- Mastodons are heavy troop carriers available to Commander Jerome. Each is
- armed with a M41 machine gun in a remotely operated weapon station, but the
- vehicle's primary offensive utility comes from the three units of infantry it can
- carry. Each of these units can engage the enemy using their weapons through
- the ABC's firing ports. The Mastodon can be upgraded to carry an additional
- infantry unit. If the Mastodon is destroyed the troops within will survive, but
- suffer heavy damage.
- M650 Mastodons are widely used by the UNSC Army and colonial defense
- forces. Their large troop compartments enable them to carry heavy infantry
- (such as Spartans in powered assault armor) and their armor protects against
- most heavy weapons, but their size made them difficult to deploy and they lack
- the mobility of smaller (but far less protected) Warthog troop carriers. With
- troops in short supply on the Ark——and reinforcement unlikely——Jerome has
- investigated starting production of these vehicles to minimize infantry
- casualties.
