M25 Beetle Infantry Fighting Vehicle "Its not the fastest, but it will get you where you need to be and keep you safe."

- Anonymous UNSC Army Soldier

The M25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle or Beetle is a UNSC infantry fighting vehicle designed and produced by the Ultor Corporation for use by UNSC Soldiers and Ultors private security forces. It is very modifiable, with multiple weapons systems being available for use. =Design= Based primarily around the protection of the soldiers being carried inside, the Beetle sacrifices speed for firepower and armor protection. The vehicle is protected by three inches of Heavy Duty Ceramic-Titanium Armor, and can resist most Covenant weapons and even light turrets such as the Plasma cannon on board a Spectre. The tracks are protected by a skirt of armor, that while weaker than the primary system can still resist most plasma based weaponry. It has a propeller built into the hull, allowing it to cross shallow water. =Variants=
 * M25 Dragon Light Flame Tank:A variant of the Beetle, the Dragon is armed with a large flamethrower and is used against occupied vehicles or bunkers. This variant can carry no infantry, and the bay is replaced with fuel for the tank.
 * M25 Satyr Tank Destroyer:The Satyr is a modification to the Beetle and is armed with 105mm Cannon for use against heavy Covenant armor, such as the Type-83 Crusher tank. However, the Satyr is very slow, and can barley keep up with the Scorpions they are to escort. This tank is very rare, and is slowly being replaced by the M101A Tarantula Light Tank.
