==Overview:==
The Make Do Salvage Co. designed a tank that could launch massive amounts of missiles at very long ranges and stand up to the same.
==Capabilities:==
The Ankylosaurus Periphery LRM Carrier has 4 ELRM20 launchers mounted in a 360o turret. This enables them to have a 360 degree rotation thus enabling the tank to attack a target on any side. The tank has a long range targeting system to make long range attacks easier, but the targeting system interferes with short range attacks making them harder. The tank has a C3 Master system to enable it to directly hit targets as if the tank was in the same spot as the spotting unit it is linked to via the C3 network. Each of the four ELRM20 launchers is operated by a gunner of the tank, the last remaining crewperson serves as the tank's driver. Ten ELRM20 rounds per launcher. The tank is greatly well armored of the Inner Sphere's reactive armor -- to is mainly to protect itself from fighters that might drop bombs onto it as as fast units that might close in on it. Each side can withstand a little
what eight LRM10s can do. The tank has CASE to protect itself in case engine and/or ammo explode. The tank also has an Angel ECM suite to protect it from electronic jamming.
All of the tank's features comes at a price, however. The tank can only
achieve a slow cruising speed of 3 meters per second, a flanking speed of 4 meters per second, and a topspeed of 6 meters per second. For this purpose the Make Do Salvage Co. advises that the Ankylosaurus be used in defending against attacking units or being dropped by airborne units when used in attacking roles and/or towed by faster units like its AIATA by using its front and/or rear hitches.
==Battle History:==
Two Ankylosauruses provided decisive firepower for the Make Do Salvage Company in their battle. The Ankylosauruses fired semiguided ELRMs at the 10 'Mechs heavily damaged two. Astonished by the massive missile barrages, the commander retreated his 'Mechs.
==Variants:==
No variants of the tank currently exist.
