Notes
- The Teppô is was made using the rules for Super-Heavy Vehicles from Strategic Operations and TechManual. Its trailer counterparts were built with rules found in the "Combat Vehicle" section of the TechManual.[2]
- As of this writing, Teppô and its support trailers have no record sheets. Originally they were to appear in Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge, where the Teppô is listed in the table of content. However, the record sheets themselves were not added to the PDF release of the Record Sheets.[3]
