Notes[edit]

  • As of this writing, there is no published record sheet for this vehicle.
  • It is unclear what the Burro II looks like. In the associated image for the "Growler/Burro Trucks" (in Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised), two identical trucks (from differing angles) are depicted, though unidentified as either of the three profiled support vehicles. However, since the other two mass 1 and 2.5 tons respectively, the Burro II (massing 50 tons) is the most likely one depicted. (Additionally, the associated image file hosted on the Master Unit List is named "Iveco _Burro II_ Super Heavy Cargo Truck.png", supporting this conclusion.)
