The '''Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy''', commonly known as the '''Mammoth''', is a heavy wheeled vehicle used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] in the wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | The '''Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy''', commonly known as the '''Mammoth''', is a heavy wheeled vehicle used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] in the wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="NeoGAF 652012">[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=38546770&postcount=16808 ''NeoGAF:'' ''Halo |OT4| Trust's a Tough Thing to Come by These Days'']</ref><ref name="Method Making Of">[http://www.methodstudios.com/work/the-commissioning ''Method Studios:'' ''Halo 4 <nowiki>'</nowiki>The Commissioning<nowiki>'</nowiki>'']</ref> This weapon platform is currently the largest known terrestrial armored fighting vehicle employed by the UNSC, dwarfing even the similar "[[Elephant]]" HRVs in size. | ||
==Design details== | |||
Nearly seventy meters in length, the Mammoth is a six-wheeled [[wikipedia:siegeworks|siegeworks]] [[wikipedia:Landship|ultra-heavy vehicle]] that fulfills the dual roles of anti-aircraft and anti-[[warship]] weapons platform; it is designed for the elimination of hostile vessels, weapons, and fortifications in terrestrial and orbital positions.<ref name="HOSFM202">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', ''page 202''</ref> As with the Elephant, the Mammoth possesses an internal storage bay for smaller vehicles such as the [[M12 Warthog]] and the [[M274 Mongoose]], which are normally stored via magnetic grapples running along the roof of the bay and can exit through the vehicle's front or back ramp. The Mammoth sports a [[Mark 2547 heavy railgun|Mark 2457/35cm HRG "Mini-MAC"]] turret on the topside, two large openings towards the back, as well as two smaller ones near the vehicle's cockpit.{{Ref/Reuse|H4 Guide}}<ref name="Magic">[http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/08/15/making-of-halo-4?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social ''IGN'' ''The Magic Behind Halo 4'']</ref> Two [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System|M79 MLRS]] emplacements are mounted on both the port and starboard side for close-in defense.

10 Mammoths were used by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s Marine contingent on [[Requiem]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]]. During the vessel's turbulent approach into the [[shield world]], at least two of these vehicles crushed the surrounding areas of their hangar bay. | 10 Mammoths were used by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s Marine contingent on [[Requiem]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]]. During the vessel's turbulent approach into the [[shield world]], at least two of these vehicles crushed the surrounding areas of their hangar bay.<ref name="Commissioning">''[[The Commissioning]]''</ref> The Mammoth proved to be an effective weapon against both [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] and Forerunner armor forces during the [[Battle of Requiem]]. Its heavy plating proved almost impervious to Banshee and Wraith shelling, while its MAC and point defense weapons laid waste to ground and air units with equal efficiency. However, the Mammoth's heavy guns were of little use against direct boarding action by enemy infantry. During the battle in the shield world, a Mammoth was used to assault the control center of the Forerunner [[particle cannon]]s to shut them down so the ''Infinity'' could take out Requiem's gravity well. With the Master Chief guiding the MAC cannon with a handheld [[H-295 Forward Observer Module|target designator]], the Mammoth destroyed two of the four cannons and helped clear the way, but was badly damaged by a [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]] and, while still able to move on its own, had to stay behind as the Master Chief finished the mission alone due to impassible terrain around the command center.{{Ref/Reuse|Reclaimer}} | ||
