Would've loved to see the Demolisher 100 ton tank from Battletech included here. Most tanks in that universe can simply be stepped on by any battlemech to get rid of them. But with 2 AC20s that can reliably delete a ton's worth of armor each from existence with every pull of the trigger, the Demolisher is an ever present reminder that tracked vehicles still have to be taken seriously even a thousand years into the future.
@@FrikInCasualMode Demolisher II Carries twin UAC20s = 4 AC20s beat that😝 MK IV and MK VIs huh? Either way it doesn't what the Alacorn is packing, it's damn Alacorn, it's fracking scary lol let alone that new one with dual HGRs
Not a tank, but still remember the first time I left a mech in range of an SRM Carrier. 10x6 SRMs to the face is like walking into a mech-sized belt-sander.
Some fun info about the Mark XXXIII Bolo for those curious - it had/has/will have an average ground speed of about 115 kph, going up to a flight speed of ~500 kph if it diverts its shield power to its counter-grav systems. As the video says, the main armament is 3x 200cm (5 megatons/second) Hellbore plasma cannons, with a secondary armament of 16x 30cm Hellbores, though the video doesn't (through no fault of its own) give the factoid that the original Hellbore mounted on a Bolo, a 25cm on the Mark XIV, was originally designed as a naval battlecruisers main gun - a tiny little pea shooter by comparison (though tbf, that was at least over 1000 years before the XXXIII rolled out). It's breech loading mortars have a rate of fire about 8-12 rounds a minute, and the big 40cm ones have a range of about 10 kilometers (its got "small" 15cm mortars as well), and as such, would probably be considered "close range" defensive weapons. I don't know if anybody ever bothered to count all the anti-personal flechette clusters and lasers on it, so we'll just say "many". All in all, with its... generous firepower (those 200cm guns are more than enough to blast spaceships out of orbit), meter(s) thick armor, external and internal shielding, and an internal counter-grav system that meant it could land itself from orbit unassisted, the Mark XXXIII Bolo is considered a "planetary siege unit", capable of conquering modestly defended planets in small teams, or even solo, with whole brigades of 24 units operating together, presumably for heavily defended targets. Even though it is preferred to operate a Mark XXXIII with a single human operator, its sophisticated, sentient AI means it's perfectly capable of operating completely autonomously, just like its predecessors going back to the Mark XX.
@@homahoma492 I remember explaining the Heavy Object series as "Bolo but anime" to my dad (who introduced me to the Bolo universe). Maybe I'll get around to finishing reading the LN series now, thinking about it.
you forgot the VLS. A proper BOLO-battle starts with softening up the enemy with swarms of cruise missiles. And deploying some spy-sats at the eve of battle never hurts anyway.
@@Skaldewolf Yes, I did forget the VLS, but in my defense, in the face of 6-foot-something bore diameter anti-spaceship plasma canons and fully automatic mortars almost as large as the most insane of the artillery wunder weapons dreamed up by the excesses of WW2, somehow racks of hundreds of nuclear warhead tipped, over-the-horizon-strike capable missiles seem... pedestrian.
I absolutely adore the 'M61A5 MBT ' from Mobile Suit Gundam, as a lot of thought has been put into the design in being as believable and realistic as possible in a futuristic setting where the earth has been ravaged by war, thus resorting the EFF to develop a tank that can be easily masa produced.
@@tatush6075 For the sake of your own sanity, don't look at any of the official numbers in Mobile Suit Gundam. They're pretty egregious, even by sci-fi standards. We're talking 20 meter tall mobile suits that weigh thirty tons, mobile suits that gain mass when they shift from combat mode to flight mode, and booster systems that actually make the craft accelerate more slowly.
Judging by the size of that beautiful war machine, I'd give it at least 77 tons (considering it's a futuristic design, some lighter alloys might be used) if not over 100.
Once I saw the David Drake hovertanks I knew the top spot was going to go to the Bolos. They're one of the few staples of science fiction that can out do 40k.
@@polasamierwahsh421 bolos are the family of tanks used by humans in future. First bolos were used just by countries and were evolved versions of abrams tank. Late models were used against hostile aliens (to fight giant mechs and etc.). Bolos have extremely advanced a.i. and enemy detection systems wich gives theme great adventage over the enemy. Bolos are also self aware and have their own personalities. Late bolo models are packed with many guns and have insane shooting capabilities. They have rocket systems, plasma guns and etc. Some bolos can also fly to quickly change their position or to get on transporting space ship. All this characteristics make late bolos "planetary siege weapons" wich means that you can drop one on moderately protected planet and it would conquer this planet (no chanse for the planet if it's a tank company). I can't tell you more information and details cause I wand to read the books by myself and am afraid of spoilers
Actually a little surprised the Siege Tank from Starcraft didn't show up, but I didn't even know some of these were a thing! Never thought I'd see 40k get outdone so spectacularly!
@@StreakedSilver I would love to see how the Halphas Electus Imperial Landtank compares to all of these. Destiny may not be known for it's tanks, but it's definitely MUCH bigger than any warhammer tank. Hell, the Drake is bigger than a Scorpion, maybe even bigger than the Grizzly he didn't show, just a Scorpion on roids.
Object 279 is real and the Ratte was seriously considered for a while. As far as fictional tanks go, I'm kinda bummed out Earth Alliance tanks from the B5 wargame aren't included.
Perhaps that version of the ratte at least the turret layout is fiction, I don’t know for sure but I do know that since WW2 ended there were many various proposals for what it and it’s various armaments would have been like
@@lordbelou7279 I know the design itself isn’t fiction but perhaps the turret layout is, I have heard from many places that the Ratte and it’s turrets are debated as to for example what guns, how many turrets, you get the idea
@@lordbelou7279 since it only existed in imagination and on paper, the Ratte is entirely fictional alongside the supposed superiority of the idiots who even considered building it. Too bad they didn't, since along with other idiot wunderwaffe like the Bismark and V2 it would have helped end the war even faster than those others did. Cheers!
I was kinda surprised to not see a Capital Imperialis with how massive those things are, they pretty much aren’t even tanks at that point, just mobile command centers on treads
When I saw the BOLO MK. XXXIII: "Hell to the yeah." To be honest, between the Imperium Tanks from 40k or the BOLO Tanks. I gotta go with the BOLO. There is something about Mobile Siege fortresses with a personality that screams OVERKILL towards anything that poses a threat to Humanity that is starting to grow on me.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Hammer's Slammers, Ogre, and even Bolos in this line-up. And of course the MkXXXIII is at the top the size list, cause its a Bolo! Who doesn't love planetary siege units that can fly at 100s of kph, have main gun firepower measured in MT/s with shields rated against said guns, a whole slew of secondary and tertiary weapons ranging from nuclear artillery to particle beams, and controlled by quite possibly THE most loyal AIs ever conceived that can plan whole planetary campaigns in the time you take to blink? Bolos OP do not nerf lol
Thrilled to see the Bolo Mark XXX show up! I was worried that Laumer's bolo-verse wouldn't make it! The Demolisher or PPC Carrier from Battletech are classic tanks too from that universe, which would be awesome to see modeled. Deep deep deep cut, but the Sabertooth Mk IV from the 5th Foreign Legion series would be awesome to see modeled as well.
@@eduardklima5698 Im not sure I have a lot of books on the Bolos by Keith Laumer and a bunch more with short stories by numerous authors. But the one I just referenced I did find was a mark XXXIII by Kieth laumer and William Kieth Jr. called Bolo Rising published in 1999.
@@jamessotherden5909 I was thinking of David Weber´s either Bolos or Old soldiers but not 100% sure. But it might just be that those stories are most memorable to me.
This was absolutely fantastic! I adored watching such a great breadth of tanks being compared, especially the Mammoth and Metal slug tanks. Great work! You chose a fine bunch of fictional tanks out of so so many out there to give greks and nerds an awesome variety, enough that some people watching (including myself) actually learned about stuff they never knew about!
I coming for tank from Command & Conquer series and Warhammer 40k and there's more a lots of fictional tanks such as : - Terran Crucio Siege Tank (Starcraft 2) - GDI M.A.R.V (C&C 3) - Nod Flame Tank (C&C 3) - Scrin Devourer Tank (C&C 3) - Allied Mirage Tank (C&C Red alert 2) - Soviet Rhino Heavy Tank (C&C Red alert 2) - Yuri Lasher Tank (C&C Red Alert 2) - USA Paladin (C&C Generals) - China Overlord (C&C Generals) - GLA Marauders Tank (C&C Generals) - UEF Rock Head Tank (Supreme Commander) - UEF Fat Boy (Supreme Commander) - Predator Tank (Warhammer 40k) - Astraeus Grav Tank (Warhammer 40k) - Land Raiders (Warhammer 40k) - Plagueburst Crawler (Warhammer 40k) - Grineer Tusk Thumper (Warframe) - The Landmaster (Star Fox) - COG Centaur Tank (Gear of Wars) - UIR Pariah Tank (Gear of Wars) - Survivor Anaconda Tank (KKnD2) - Survivor Juggernaut Tank (KKnD2) - NC Vanguard Tank (Planetside 2) - TR Prowler Tank (Planetside 2) - VS Magrider Tank (Planetside 2) - Vinci Juggernaut Tank (RoN : Rise of Legends) - Megatron Cybertronian Tank (Transformers 2 : RoF) - HK Tank (Terminator)
Soviet Hammer Tank in Red Alert 3 too. Its cannon location and its ability to steal armanent is quite unique. Oh of cource can't forgot the Soviet Tesla Tank (Red Alert 2&3). A tank with 2 tesla coils.
In the lore the Steve Jackson Games Ogres (all of them) were a lot heavier than 360 tons. Mark V and VI were built to stand off micronukes, which were fairly standard weapons on the Ogre game's battlefield.
Kinda, the mini nukes known as SATNUC, SATuration NUclear Cluster had only a ~200 lbs equivalent warhead. What made them dangerous is that they were shape charge warheads, nuclear heat rounds! They had a penetration of about a meter and a half of RHA equivalent.
In "Notes On The Ogre", Mr. Jackson laid out his thoughts on what he considered reasonable sizes for his Ogres. A Mk I Ogre was roughly twice the size of a modern MBT( and three times the weight), you can extrapolate the others from there. The upper limit was when one was enough of a threat for the enemy to spend a strategic nuke to stop it.
It would have been cool to see Panzerstadt from Mortal Engines (it was never shown in the movie, but was in the first book). It was basically a fortified mobile city the size of a large mountain.
Me: "Better have something from Warhammer 40K..." AmazingViz: "Leman Russ...Baneblade" Me: "Yesssss!"👍 Could've had the Ordinatus Armageddon too, but I ain't complaining.
THE OGRE! YOU HAVE THE OGRE! I'm so happy to see this beast -- I have a copy of the game that I bought a couple of centuries ago (at least it feels that long ago), it consists of a heavy paper field of play, a very basic instruction book, and a whole bunch of little cardboard playing pieces that had to be punched out of their print sheets, all in a convenient zip-lock type plastic bag. Aah, the good old days... :-)
There is a modern reprint of OGRE. I picked up a copy for the original price ($10 iirc?) Played it w my 20yr old WH40k gamer son. He found it very simple... Wish they'd do a GEV reprint! Also nice to see the BOLO tanks in this video.
Hi… I was one of the Playtesters for OGRE/GEV, and painted many of the Miniatures for the Box-Art. I am hoping to convince Steve to do a newer version of it based upon an Alternate Universe created by the OGRE-verse’s version of the Superconducting Supercollider creating a Parallel Universe(s) (one of which will be the OGREThulu-Verse, with a new, much scarier looking OGRE-Thulu… Sadly… No GEVs in these Universes, but they will be replaced with something just as fun. Possessed Zombie-Tanks being one of them). I got him to agree to hear the pitch with the new artwork (Had to clean-up 25 year-old artwork in the process). But new OGREs will now have their own Artillery (in addition to Missiles). But the newer releases of OGRE are a lot fancier than the older Bagged Metagaming Pocket-Games that we played in High School at Lunch (mostly Melee and Wizard, because they were the fastest, but we had one lunch period a week that was an hour, rather than the 30 minutes of a typical one, where we played OGRE/GEV), or the Plastic Pocket-Boxes of early SJGames. They have huge boards with paper-cutout tanks that assemble into cardboard miniatures (or you can get some with the regular miniatures - I can’t remember if he went through with the Plastics or not????)…
And there is a GEV Map you can buy that goes with the newer OGRE Game, in the OGRE Designer’s Edition (You get the GEV Map and the Shockwave Maps). And he did get some of the Minis done in Plastic.
And yes… He did release some of the minis in Plastic, with more planned. He has been farming-out the different games to others to support the production of, and as such the priorities are controlled differently. Hoping the new Pitch will result in newer OGRE Options (also an Illuminati related Project, that is connected to the Real World… Not a LARP sort of thing, either). OGRE/GEV are also available as Computer games, and Nintendo or other Console Video Games, with a Computer-player as an option. Expect an AR version of OGRE/GEV, where the Playing field is an Empty Table with Units controlled by Markers that are moved on Virtual Terrain. Don’t know what is going on with this, though, but it was something mentioned as “looking into,” and the existence of the Nintendo, Steam, and other Video Games means that the basic Engine is completed, and just a new display would be required.
Imagine my surprise when I saw both Hammer's Slammers and a Bolo. Good sci fi reading. Also, check out "Super Tanks" if you can find it. It is a collection of short stories about tanks. I believe Keith Laumer pulled the stories together.
Wow! I haven't come across a mention of Renegade Legion in years! Love all the Mice in Kuromorimine livery. Other armored vehicles you might consider are the Takemikazuchi from "Sora no Woto" (Sound of the Sky) and the "objects" from "Heavy Object".
Could also toss quite a few units from Homeworld Deserts of Kharak on here. The "Phalanx" Armored Assault Vehicle is roughly the size of a house and the Coalition Command Carriers are literally aircraft carriers on tracks with CIWS and missile batteries that allow them to head to head fight other vehicles. The Kapisi is listed as 125,000 tons and 568 meters long
Love the fact that you included the VHT-1 Spartas Veritech Hovertank from Super Dimension Cavalry: Southern Cross/Robotech. However, you forgot the 1x36mm Tri-Barreled Pulse Beam Cannon mounted in the right arm! You also forgot to mention its a transformable platform (the 28mm beam rifle is its armament in Transport and Battloid modes). Also, there was an upgrade that replaced the 105mm smoothbore with a 220mm Beam Cannon!
Big props for including the tank from Hammer's Slammers and the Trajan Heavy Tank from Fasa's Renegade Legion universe game Centurion. Unlike all the other creations on the list the Hammer's Slammers tank has some real thought behind it. David Drake was in armor in Vietnam. While he writes science fiction his direct knowledge spills over.
I'd rather say the Bolo series definitely had plenty of thought go into it. There's a clear and consistent technological progression behind it, it features similar levels of "logically if x then y" bits of design and setting - like how tanks in Slammers have such long range, theyre able to gun down satellites and render air and near orbitsl power useless, late model Bolos were mounted on the outside of their transport ships to act as weapons and armor. There's actually a *lot* of thought in them. They aren't just bigger tanks, but they have similar levels of thought and tonnage put into everything from kotive systems to EW. A lot of the bolo stories are less about "big tank bigger tonk than other guy so tonk win" and more about Bolos using their intelligence and reflexes to defeat disparate forces.
Would love to have seen the Sheva from John Ringo's Posileen series. Armed with a 16 in naval cannon. Loved that you had the Bolo and Hammer's Slammers in here.
Not sure if it counts, but the experimental super unit Fatboy from Supreme Commander is far larger than most, if not all, of these tanks. Granted, it’s also a mobile base with its onboard factory, but it is tracked and has some serious heavy cannons.
I was waiting for the fatboy, hoping they would have it. I don't think there are any canon confirmed stats for its weight and size though, so putting it in might just start arguments.
@SecretlyThreeDucks InAManSuit I think there are some pretty good estimates based on tree sizes, ACU sizes, etc. Not sure if it's actually that much larger than a Mk33 though, that's 33kt weight is Weberfoam given the thing is 400m long.
@@darkone8752 Yeah, the opening cutscenes for the UEF and Cybran nation in SupCom 1 put the ACU at about 80-100 m tall. Which makes the fatboy the size of a small city.
I was fully expecting to see 40K tanks in the Leman Russ and Baneblade. But I was beyond pleased to see Brawl make an appearance with his heavily modified M1A1 Abrahams. Also, the Ratte tank is not technically fictional. While it never saw full deployment or development, its design was 100% real and proposed to Nazi Germany during WW2
I'd have liked to see f.e.: Leonardo's Tank from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, HT-95 Levkov from Battlefield 4, T-600 Titan and T-740 Hovertank from CoD Advanced Warfare, and maybe the new EMKV90-Tor from Battlefield 2042 Maybe the next video could be a fictional planes like in this video ( from movies, series and games)
@@AmazingViz theres some tanks from earth defence force or edf havent played in years tho forgot names edit: not the edf thats on here already from red faction its called edf 4.1 and edf 5.0
Kudos for including the Trajan Grav Tank. Renegade Legion sadly never took of as much as it deserved. Missing: - tanks from Battletech (if you know Renegade Legion, strange not to know Battletech) - Shifts, Perry Rhodan (longest running SciFi series in history)
To be fair BT has an absolute star league frackton of tanks, but I think the Demolisher I & II deserve a mention, with the likes of Alacorns, Rommels, Pattons, Von Luckners, Behemoths, Manticores, and Shreks being worthy as well.
@@terryhiggins5077 I wish they would give a mas value for the Rattler 'tank' (thought technically it is a heavy AA unit with its lasers and missile systems)
@@toddkes5890 I actually had to look it up and holy crap, it takes up3x3x7 hexs, and is armed with enough weaponry to take on an assault weight company, including 3 SCLs! I'm guessing low digit thousands at least, maybe even pushing 10000 tons. Its a damned treaded middle weight dropship.
@@terryhiggins5077 LOL. Half the fun with showing the Rattler's picture is when people realizing that the escort walking next to it is actually a Mech.
The VHT-1 is actually from 'Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross" which was later ham-fisted into being a part of the western "Robotech" localization by Harmony Gold. While the name Robotech is perhaps more of a recognizable brand, it's widely despised by fans due to Harmony Gold's dubious business practices and gatekeeping of said properties.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! It's GREAT to know that the works of David A. Drake & Fred Saberhagen have NOT been forgotten! Hell, their works kept me SANE throughout my troubled childhood & youth! Glad to see they're both getting the respect they DESERVE from an all new generation! Kudos to you!
the edelweiss was the main tank of Valkyria Chronicles 1... in VC3 the main tank was the nameless. Also... I'm pretty sure the mammoth MK1's main guns are 200mm or 20 cm (same thing)... not 20 mm... as that'd be a hilariously small caliber for a tank that size. 20mm is a common caliber on airplane auto-canons.
Just a few notes: I don't think the land ironclad by H G Wells was that big, but it's been a while since I read it The Mark VI Ogre wasn't modelled very well. It doesn't show the missile racks and the other two Main Batteries look like they were just stuck onto a Mark III You could have included the Land Leviathan from the book of the same name by Michael Moorcock, but it would have looked similar, but more steampunk, to the second last pyramid tank The Apocalypse Tank doesn't show the grinders although they are mentioned in the description Good work overall. Thanx heaps
feel sad you missed the M.A.R.V form the recent C&C and to correct your info on the mammoth it was a rescue able unit in the final mission for GDI and obtainable in some missions in firestorm expansion pack.
SheVa was the model, #9 was Bun-Bun, IIRC. If you haven't already, Tom Kratmann's "Watch on the Rhine" is set in the same 'verse and also had interesting tanks.
Gunhed (spelling is correct), Gun UNit of Heavy Eliminate Device from a live-action Japanese movie of the same name. You also missed off the tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell, ca. 1 tonne or so. Others have mentioned Tank Police, the signature tank is called Bonaparte, very similar-looking to the SV-001.
All those Gundam tanks, and no love for the "Octopus" from "Venus Wars"? (Manga and Anime). BTW the Mark VI Ogre has the missile racks, the Mark V has 6 missiles.
Good Video, but im missing the Kanjali Tank from GTA or the hovering Tank from C&C or the Mammoth from C&C Tiberian Sun or Juggernaut. Maybe a second Video inc ?
good to see a Bolo and the Slammer's Hovertank on this list. A bit surprised there wasn't a tank from Dominion Tank Police given the other anime tanks but i'll take what i can get.
I remember that franchise - I've owned the first three games and recently bought the first two off GOG for my laptop. The Sopot Heavy Tank in RF2 was a pretty good tank...
I'd like to have seen the Imperial Landtanks of the Cabal in Destiny and Destiny 2, although the games don't really give you a great look at their exterior, with both the Halphas Electus and Cerberus Vae III being only seen from one side and the enterior. Based on the latter however, it's plausible that they'd be among the heaviest tanks on the list.

Some fun info about the Mark XXXIII Bolo for those curious - it had/has/will have an average ground speed of about 115 kph, going up to a flight speed of ~500 kph if it diverts its shield power to its counter-grav systems. As the video says, the main armament is 3x 200cm (5 megatons/second) Hellbore plasma cannons, with a secondary armament of 16x 30cm Hellbores, though the video doesn't (through no fault of its own) give the factoid that the original Hellbore mounted on a Bolo, a 25cm on the Mark XIV, was originally designed as a naval battlecruisers main gun - a tiny little pea shooter by comparison (though tbf, that was at least over 1000 years before the XXXIII rolled out). It's breech loading mortars have a rate of fire about 8-12 rounds a minute, and the big 40cm ones have a range of about 10 kilometers (its got "small" 15cm mortars as well), and as such, would probably be considered "close range" defensive weapons. I don't know if anybody ever bothered to count all the anti-personal flechette clusters and lasers on it, so we'll just say "many".

Mammoth Tank also appeared in Tiberian Sun - in last GDI mission you could find a abandoned GDI base with 3 functional Mammoth Tanks.
NOD mission to camouflage as GDI to capture the mutant leader you have to basically fight against Mammoth MK1's too. There's at least one on the map.
I did not expect to see someone else catch this, but I'm glad I'm not the only one!
He shold add Mammoth Tank MkIII almost as heavy as the Apocalypse Tank.
I'm just sad the Nod Tick Tank wasn't included in this list...😢
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 How heavy as the M.A.R.V tank? That thing was ALOT bigger than a mammoth tank.
I absolutely adore the 'M61A5 MBT ' from Mobile Suit Gundam, as a lot of thought has been put into the design in being as believable and realistic as possible in a futuristic setting where the earth has been ravaged by war, thus resorting the EFF to develop a tank that can be easily masa produced.
wasn't it produced before the one year war? so it was just the main armor before mobile suits?
there's absolutely no fucking way that thing weights just 42.7 tons
@@tatush6075 For the sake of your own sanity, don't look at any of the official numbers in Mobile Suit Gundam. They're pretty egregious, even by sci-fi standards. We're talking 20 meter tall mobile suits that weigh thirty tons, mobile suits that gain mass when they shift from combat mode to flight mode, and booster systems that actually make the craft accelerate more slowly.
@@Corruption922 42 tons for a tank that's nearly as big as the Char 2C definitely is really confusing
edit: I'm referring to the Type-61
Judging by the size of that beautiful war machine, I'd give it at least 77 tons (considering it's a futuristic design, some lighter alloys might be used) if not over 100.
Once I saw the David Drake hovertanks I knew the top spot was going to go to the Bolos. They're one of the few staples of science fiction that can out do 40k.
There are few things more terrifying then being charged by the Dinochrome Brigade.
I need lore
What is this , what are they fighting and what book is it in?
@@polasamierwahsh421 bolos are the family of tanks used by humans in future. First bolos were used just by countries and were evolved versions of abrams tank. Late models were used against hostile aliens (to fight giant mechs and etc.). Bolos have extremely advanced a.i. and enemy detection systems wich gives theme great adventage over the enemy. Bolos are also self aware and have their own personalities. Late bolo models are packed with many guns and have insane shooting capabilities. They have rocket systems, plasma guns and etc. Some bolos can also fly to quickly change their position or to get on transporting space ship.
All this characteristics make late bolos "planetary siege weapons" wich means that you can drop one on moderately protected planet and it would conquer this planet (no chanse for the planet if it's a tank company).
I can't tell you more information and details cause I wand to read the books by myself and am afraid of spoilers
@@funboy3992 wow
WHAT'S THE BOOK NAME?
@@polasamierwahsh421 Just search "Bolo books" and you will see wich book you need to read firs (yep, that's a book series)
Actually a little surprised the Siege Tank from Starcraft didn't show up, but I didn't even know some of these were a thing! Never thought I'd see 40k get outdone so spectacularly!
Yeah that one and any of the tanks from dominion: tank police.
Well there are those tanks made by the squats in 40K that are basically moving fortresses.
Only because mechs don't count here. Otherwise 40k probably wins
Bolo tanks are even a bigger level of stupid than 40k.
@@StreakedSilver I would love to see how the Halphas Electus Imperial Landtank compares to all of these. Destiny may not be known for it's tanks, but it's definitely MUCH bigger than any warhammer tank. Hell, the Drake is bigger than a Scorpion, maybe even bigger than the Grizzly he didn't show, just a Scorpion on roids.
Object 279 is real and the Ratte was seriously considered for a while. As far as fictional tanks go, I'm kinda bummed out Earth Alliance tanks from the B5 wargame aren't included.
Perhaps that version of the ratte at least the turret layout is fiction, I don’t know for sure but I do know that since WW2 ended there were many various proposals for what it and it’s various armaments would have been like
So the Ratte isn't fictional, and have no place here.
@@lordbelou7279 I know the design itself isn’t fiction but perhaps the turret layout is, I have heard from many places that the Ratte and it’s turrets are debated as to for example what guns, how many turrets, you get the idea
@@lordbelou7279 since it only existed in imagination and on paper, the Ratte is entirely fictional alongside the supposed superiority of the idiots who even considered building it. Too bad they didn't, since along with other idiot wunderwaffe like the Bismark and V2 it would have helped end the war even faster than those others did. Cheers!
If something is “debated” than it wasn’t finial right, and once the design is finalized than it becomes “real” so therefore the rate is fake
Man, I did not expect to see Ogres and Bolos on a modern list, this guy knows his scifi.
I can't help but smile gleefully at the sight of my two favorite things. Warhammer 40k and Valkyria Chronicles. Great video.
Yeah man i'm glad when they include baneblade
@@Nopal11-v5m Now keep in mind that the bane blade was originally used as a light scouting vehicle during the dark age of technology.
@@robknight666 yeah my brother
I was kinda surprised to not see a Capital Imperialis with how massive those things are, they pretty much aren’t even tanks at that point, just mobile command centers on treads
Then you probably understand the secret of destroying any of these tanks is to simply stack orders on a shocktrooper and attack the radiator
When I saw the BOLO MK. XXXIII:
"Hell to the yeah."
To be honest, between the Imperium Tanks from 40k or the BOLO Tanks.
I gotta go with the BOLO. There is something about Mobile Siege fortresses with a personality that screams OVERKILL towards anything that poses a threat to Humanity that is starting to grow on me.
I'm happy that you included OGRE and BOLO. Well done!
I'm happy to see the Bolo listed. I read all those books (still have them too) years back.

Mega props for the callouts of the hovertank, Ogre, and Bolo. The Bolo series are my favorite futuristic tanks.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Hammer's Slammers, Ogre, and even Bolos in this line-up. And of course the MkXXXIII is at the top the size list, cause its a Bolo!
Who doesn't love planetary siege units that can fly at 100s of kph, have main gun firepower measured in MT/s with shields rated against said guns, a whole slew of secondary and tertiary weapons ranging from nuclear artillery to particle beams, and controlled by quite possibly THE most loyal AIs ever conceived that can plan whole planetary campaigns in the time you take to blink?

💪BOLO, FUCK YEAH!
And yet the war still ended up with the near extinction of the Human race...
@@Gustav_Kuriga
Guilt-Free Extinction War against a roughly equivalent civilization tends to do that.
Thrilled to see the Bolo Mark XXX show up! I was worried that Laumer's bolo-verse wouldn't make it!
The Demolisher or PPC Carrier from Battletech are classic tanks too from that universe, which would be awesome to see modeled.
Deep deep deep cut, but the Sabertooth Mk IV from the 5th Foreign Legion series would be awesome to see modeled as well.
I love Laumer's books on the Bolo's.
mk XXXIII if I remember is creation of David Weber for Keith Lamer´s Boloverse. Also did it not have 2 main hellbores per turred?

This was absolutely fantastic! I adored watching such a great breadth of tanks being compared, especially the Mammoth and Metal slug tanks.
Great work! You chose a fine bunch of fictional tanks out of so so many out there to give greks and nerds an awesome variety, enough that some people watching (including myself) actually learned about stuff they never knew about!

Soviet Hammer Tank in Red Alert 3 too. Its cannon location and its ability to steal armanent is quite unique.
Oh of cource can't forgot the Soviet Tesla Tank (Red Alert 2&3). A tank with 2 tesla coils.
In the lore the Steve Jackson Games Ogres (all of them) were a lot heavier than 360 tons. Mark V and VI were built to stand off micronukes, which were fairly standard weapons on the Ogre game's battlefield.
Such a fun game.
Kinda, the mini nukes known as SATNUC, SATuration NUclear Cluster had only a ~200 lbs equivalent warhead. What made them dangerous is that they were shape charge warheads, nuclear heat rounds! They had a penetration of about a meter and a half of RHA equivalent.
In "Notes On The Ogre", Mr. Jackson laid out his thoughts on what he considered reasonable sizes for his Ogres. A Mk I Ogre was roughly twice the size of a modern MBT( and three times the weight), you can extrapolate the others from there. The upper limit was when one was enough of a threat for the enemy to spend a strategic nuke to stop it.
Bolo. It's a Bolo by another name.
@@Sm00k Well to be fair it was orginally going to be a Bolo game but the rights fell through last second.
It would have been cool to see Panzerstadt from Mortal Engines (it was never shown in the movie, but was in the first book). It was basically a fortified mobile city the size of a large mountain.

THE OGRE! YOU HAVE THE OGRE! I'm so happy to see this beast -- I have a copy of the game that I bought a couple of centuries ago (at least it feels that long ago), it consists of a heavy paper field of play, a very basic instruction book, and a whole bunch of little cardboard playing pieces that had to be punched out of their print sheets, all in a convenient zip-lock type plastic bag. Aah, the good old days... :-)
There is a modern reprint of OGRE. I picked up a copy for the original price ($10 iirc?) Played it w my 20yr old WH40k gamer son. He found it very simple... Wish they'd do a GEV reprint! Also nice to see the BOLO tanks in this video.
Hi… I was one of the Playtesters for OGRE/GEV, and painted many of the Miniatures for the Box-Art.
I am hoping to convince Steve to do a newer version of it based upon an Alternate Universe created by the OGRE-verse’s version of the Superconducting Supercollider creating a Parallel Universe(s) (one of which will be the OGREThulu-Verse, with a new, much scarier looking OGRE-Thulu… Sadly… No GEVs in these Universes, but they will be replaced with something just as fun. Possessed Zombie-Tanks being one of them). I got him to agree to hear the pitch with the new artwork (Had to clean-up 25 year-old artwork in the process).
But new OGREs will now have their own Artillery (in addition to Missiles).
But the newer releases of OGRE are a lot fancier than the older Bagged Metagaming Pocket-Games that we played in High School at Lunch (mostly Melee and Wizard, because they were the fastest, but we had one lunch period a week that was an hour, rather than the 30 minutes of a typical one, where we played OGRE/GEV), or the Plastic Pocket-Boxes of early SJGames.
They have huge boards with paper-cutout tanks that assemble into cardboard miniatures (or you can get some with the regular miniatures - I can’t remember if he went through with the Plastics or not????)…
And there is a GEV Map you can buy that goes with the newer OGRE Game, in the OGRE Designer’s Edition (You get the GEV Map and the Shockwave Maps).
And he did get some of the Minis done in Plastic.
And yes… He did release some of the minis in Plastic, with more planned. He has been farming-out the different games to others to support the production of, and as such the priorities are controlled differently.
Hoping the new Pitch will result in newer OGRE Options (also an Illuminati related Project, that is connected to the Real World… Not a LARP sort of thing, either).
OGRE/GEV are also available as Computer games, and Nintendo or other Console Video Games, with a Computer-player as an option.
Expect an AR version of OGRE/GEV, where the Playing field is an Empty Table with Units controlled by Markers that are moved on Virtual Terrain. Don’t know what is going on with this, though, but it was something mentioned as “looking into,” and the existence of the Nintendo, Steam, and other Video Games means that the basic Engine is completed, and just a new display would be required.
I was so happy to see it aswell
Made me wait till the end, that's pretty close to how I imagined a Bolo to look though. Glad they made the list.
Yeah, was definitely waiting for a Bolo or two. Or like fifty.
@@gresvig2507 "For the honour of the Regiment."
Imagine my surprise when I saw both Hammer's Slammers and a Bolo. Good sci fi reading. Also, check out "Super Tanks" if you can find it. It is a collection of short stories about tanks. I believe Keith Laumer pulled the stories together.
Wow! I haven't come across a mention of Renegade Legion in years! Love all the Mice in Kuromorimine livery. Other armored vehicles you might consider are the Takemikazuchi from "Sora no Woto" (Sound of the Sky) and the "objects" from "Heavy Object".
NGL i watched it again for the actual animal mice.. then i saw the three tanks at the end
Renegade Legion could have been a franchise. I had novels before PDF was a thing and now I can't find them.
Sad to see that the Starcraft Siege Tank was not included.
Could also toss quite a few units from Homeworld Deserts of Kharak on here. The "Phalanx" Armored Assault Vehicle is roughly the size of a house and the Coalition Command Carriers are literally aircraft carriers on tracks with CIWS and missile batteries that allow them to head to head fight other vehicles. The Kapisi is listed as 125,000 tons and 568 meters long
You've no idea how happy it makes me to finally see C&C vehicles in one of these comparison vids.
Epic video tank comparison! Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this video.
My pleasure! 😁
No Bonaparte!?! The series was literally Tank Police! For shame! (Kidding, nice video)
Thank you for lowering the speed to watch the vehicles. Otherwise i always have to make a break to watch all details.
Love the fact that you included the VHT-1 Spartas Veritech Hovertank from Super Dimension Cavalry: Southern Cross/Robotech. However, you forgot the 1x36mm Tri-Barreled Pulse Beam Cannon mounted in the right arm! You also forgot to mention its a transformable platform (the 28mm beam rifle is its armament in Transport and Battloid modes). Also, there was an upgrade that replaced the 105mm smoothbore with a 220mm Beam Cannon!
Object 279 is not fictional, it even exists in the Kubinka tank museum
Love that you Included the Ogre Mark VI. I love the Ogre games and demonstrated them quite heavily during my time as a SJG Man-in-Black. FNORD!!!
What an interesting selection! Ah well, I never thought that I'd say this but most of them make the P1000 Ratte look almost practical!
A Bolo! I read a bunch of those short stories, I haven't thought about them in ages.
Big props for including the tank from Hammer's Slammers and the Trajan Heavy Tank from Fasa's Renegade Legion universe game Centurion.
Unlike all the other creations on the list the Hammer's Slammers tank has some real thought behind it. David Drake was in armor in Vietnam. While he writes science fiction his direct knowledge spills over.
Ah a fellow man of culture. Loved that book series growing up, well written and thought out.
I'd rather say the Bolo series definitely had plenty of thought go into it. There's a clear and consistent technological progression behind it, it features similar levels of "logically if x then y" bits of design and setting - like how tanks in Slammers have such long range, theyre able to gun down satellites and render air and near orbitsl power useless, late model Bolos were mounted on the outside of their transport ships to act as weapons and armor. There's actually a *lot* of thought in them. They aren't just bigger tanks, but they have similar levels of thought and tonnage put into everything from kotive systems to EW. A lot of the bolo stories are less about "big tank bigger tonk than other guy so tonk win" and more about Bolos using their intelligence and reflexes to defeat disparate forces.
@@darkone8752I will need to read that series. Most of the tanks depicted in this video are nonsensical if you actually consider their purpose.
@Kenneth Harkin haven't read it, but the Ogre stuff should be good too. Same era and style of sci-fi
Unfortunately it's now "wrote science fiction". He announced in November that his health problems have made him decide to retire from writing.
Ah, I miss Boneaparte from Dominion Tank Police. And the Urban Hunter tank from Madox. Would've been the smallest ones, probably.
Many already talked about Object 279, so I will point out that the "Edelweiss" is from Valkyria Chronicles 1. In VC3 it is the "Nameless" tank.
Video also mentions Squad 7, which is also VC1
Fictional tanks be like:
- Oh man, we have a big size cannon that fits inside his barrel an entire house, so, probably it's a 105mm anti-tank gun 😀
Would love to have seen the Sheva from John Ringo's Posileen series. Armed with a 16 in naval cannon. Loved that you had the Bolo and Hammer's Slammers in here.
Came here to say this, glad I’m not the only one who missed Bun Bun.

Glad to see Bolos made it to the list
Not sure if it counts, but the experimental super unit Fatboy from Supreme Commander is far larger than most, if not all, of these tanks. Granted, it’s also a mobile base with its onboard factory, but it is tracked and has some serious heavy cannons.
pretty much everything from Supcom including the tanks are massively oversized and i love it
@@ansleygrouff7652
Plus the fact that they can all be controlled via ACU.
I was waiting for the fatboy, hoping they would have it. I don't think there are any canon confirmed stats for its weight and size though, so putting it in might just start arguments.
@SecretlyThreeDucks InAManSuit I think there are some pretty good estimates based on tree sizes, ACU sizes, etc. Not sure if it's actually that much larger than a Mk33 though, that's 33kt weight is Weberfoam given the thing is 400m long.
@@darkone8752 Yeah, the opening cutscenes for the UEF and Cybran nation in SupCom 1 put the ACU at about 80-100 m tall. Which makes the fatboy the size of a small city.
Hell yeah, Hammer's Slammers AND Bolo! I love both of those series, they're some of my favorite military Scifi.
I was fully expecting to see 40K tanks in the Leman Russ and Baneblade. But I was beyond pleased to see Brawl make an appearance with his heavily modified M1A1 Abrahams.
Also, the Ratte tank is not technically fictional. While it never saw full deployment or development, its design was 100% real and proposed to Nazi Germany during WW2
You could literally live in a Ratte - it had its own infirmary and even a restroom (even tank crew need a toilet break).
Today I learned that warhammer’s biggest ‘fuck you’ tank is absolutely minuscule compared to most other sci fi machines.
3:08 I've seen this tank a few times in cartoons about tanks, and thanks for helping me find what it's called
Seems the StarCraft Siege Tank couldn't reposition fast enough to make it to filming.
Ah the lemanruss and the baneblade the only thing that puts fear on alien mutant and the heretic.
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!
YES!!! You included the hover tank from Hammer's Slammers! One of my favorite military sci-fy book series!
I'd have liked to see f.e.: Leonardo's Tank from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, HT-95 Levkov from Battlefield 4, T-600 Titan and T-740 Hovertank from CoD Advanced Warfare, and maybe the new EMKV90-Tor from Battlefield 2042

The VHT-1 is actually from 'Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross" which was later ham-fisted into being a part of the western "Robotech" localization by Harmony Gold. While the name Robotech is perhaps more of a recognizable brand, it's widely despised by fans due to Harmony Gold's dubious business practices and gatekeeping of said properties.

the edelweiss was the main tank of Valkyria Chronicles 1... in VC3 the main tank was the nameless.
Also... I'm pretty sure the mammoth MK1's main guns are 200mm or 20 cm (same thing)... not 20 mm... as that'd be a hilariously small caliber for a tank that size. 20mm is a common caliber on airplane auto-canons.
Was scrolling down to see if anyone else caught the Edelweiss mixup
Sad there was no Bonaparte from Dominion Tank Police or T'au Hammerhead
Just a few notes:
I don't think the land ironclad by H G Wells was that big, but it's been a while since I read it
The Mark VI Ogre wasn't modelled very well. It doesn't show the missile racks and the other two Main Batteries look like they were just stuck onto a Mark III
You could have included the Land Leviathan from the book of the same name by Michael Moorcock, but it would have looked similar, but more steampunk, to the second last pyramid tank
The Apocalypse Tank doesn't show the grinders although they are mentioned in the description
Good work overall. Thanx heaps
Can you add time stamps to the tanks?
Not to mention that some of the vehicles had legs wheels or other non-track locomotive means, making them regular armoured assault/combat vehicles.
The Ogre missile racks are on the back, where they are supposed to be. 6 missiles.

I'd like to have seen the Imperial Landtanks of the Cabal in Destiny and Destiny 2, although the games don't really give you a great look at their exterior, with both the Halphas Electus and Cerberus Vae III being only seen from one side and the enterior. Based on the latter however, it's plausible that they'd be among the heaviest tanks on the list.
Only place you can see Goliaths in full is the first Phobos mission during the Taken King, as part of the skybox far off in the distance.
