The architecture of the M145D is similar to that of the M808B and M850 | The architecture of the M145D is similar to that of the M808B and M850 - even sharing technology with the Scorpion<ref name="Guide"/> - though it is longer and wider than the former vehicles. This larger chassis is designed to support the vehicle's six-bogey tread configuration, which in turn facilitates a lockdown mode - akin to that of the [[SP42 Cobra]] and [[M400 Kodiak]] - when the cannon is fired.<ref name="EVG"/> The tank's middle tread bogeys extend farther outward than the forward bogeys. The rear bogeys lie between the middle ones and jut from the back of the tank's chassis; stabilizer mechanisms are mounted to the rear tracks.<ref name="EVG"/> The Zeus cannon is mounted to a large turret, akin to that of the Grizzly; the weapon is capable of traversing upward at a roughly forty-five degree angle. As with all plasma-based weapons, the ''Zeus'' is potent against [[energy shielding]].<ref name="Dome">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''Dome of Light''</ref><ref name="Scarab">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''Scarab''</ref> | ||
The Rhino has [[Titanium]] armor capable of shrugging off all but the heaviest attacks, and the ''Zeus'' cannon has a range of up to 100km.<ref name="Guide"/> | |||
