The Gaust-Kreigor Super Heavy Combat Vehicle Model-1A, also known as the Champion. The vehicle expemplifies Machina modular warfighting technology, with five variable main gun stations and four support hatches for crew operated or artillery weapons. The Vehicle is incredibly spacious on the inside as well, allowing it to house a swarm of troops. The vehicle mounts a single unfolding ramp door at the front, just below where the driver sits. Also, the side sponsons can be used as doors if there is not a sponson in place. At the back is the well armoured exhaust. In the standard layout, it carries sixteen Machina passengers.
