Not a tank, more like a fully traked mobile shield, back there in 1935

There is a very complete Article here in The Tank Enciclopedia

Someone need to make a Plastic model of this xD

The Praying Mantis was an experimental machine gun carrier designed by a private developer for the British Army during the Second World War, The Praying Mantis was a private venture by Mr. Ernest James Tapp (often shortened to E. J. Tapp) of County Commercial Cars. The design was patented in 1937, with the construction of prototypes beginning in 1943. The vehicle was designed to shoot over walls and other obstacles while staying as concealed as possible. In operation, it was found that the controls were extremely hard to use. The effect on the crew was also not ideal, as many recounted the swaying of the moving vehicle gave them motion sickness. In 1944, it was officially abandoned, not proceeding beyong the prototype stage.

GUYS!

DON'T FORGET THESE GOLDIES! I mean, a mini tank that is the size of a car or even smaller?? This could be cuteness potential :D my self insert is a triple changer minicon that has it as his alt mode, aswell as machine gun. But seriously, I love these baby tanks. I fell in love when I first learned of their existence 💝

Also:

I hope the quality is good enough- but here's what I also found. Might be stuff that's been already posted and I hope I didn't mess up the original post's intent but I thought I could be helpful 👉🏼👈🏼 I love tanks

Trying to find the oddest possible alt forms for my new ocs here are some favourites I’ve come across:

And some cars too:

I found so many more but alas, 10 photo limit

Jaune et Carro Veloce

Jaune was feeling miserable. His skills were so far below his peers that it was laughable... in a pathetic way. Though his academics in everything but things specifically associated with fighting grimm duties were well above the average. Wonders of the public school system.

So after another desperate failure in Professor Goodwitch's combat class, he wandered off. He heard his friends and teammates calling after him, but he just walked away without a word. Wishing to avoid any and everyone he took the stairs down into the basement of Beacon.

It was dark and damp. The overhead bulbs giving very little usable light. Reaching into his rear belt pouch he pulled out a small flashlight. Say what you would about his performance in combat... Jaune was adept at being prepared for mundane things, like basic wilderness survival.

He looked about, and wandered. His footfalls echoing about the dusty and cobweb cluttered corridors and rooms. There wasn't much of interest. Most of the rooms being either completely empty, or holding boxes of books. Jaune had opened one of the boxes finding it filled with Professor Port's Autobiography "The Heroic Age of the Indominable Sir Port of Vale."

Jaune: Must not have sold well.

Jaune tossed the book back onto the pile of boxes after flipping through it quickly, and continued his exploration. Pulling out his scroll he checked the time. He had been gone for a good three hours and his screen was filled with missed call and message notifications. Sighing he put it away, deciding he would answer a little later.

Turning a corner he saw a massive shadowed filled room. Cautiously he approached, using his flashlight to try and pierce the darkness. Having no success he turned his attention to the near walls, and quickly located a bank of light switches. Flicking them all on he flinched as blaring bright white lights came to blazing life.

Jaune: Oh... wow...

Jaune was stunned by what he found. The room was massive, and filled with artifacts from the Great War and the Faunus Revolution... specifically mobile terrestrial heavy weapon plate forms...

Jaune: Tanks... wow... Tanks on Tanks...

Jaune turned off his flashlight and stowed in away, as he wondered about, his eyes alight with excitement he hadn't felt in ages. While he wasn't specifically a weapon geek like Ruby, he did have a guilty pleasure, aside from comics... and that was tanks. In particular tankettes. While he admired the utility and power of the larger more impressive pieces, he absolutely adored the very much smaller, and faster mini-tanks.

Jaune: An Atlean Panzer IV. A Vale Sherman Firefly. A Vacoan T34, and a Mistralian Tiger I !!!

Jaune wondered, totally forgetting about contacting his friends, which further flew out of his thoughts when he saw it. With a shaking hand he reached out and touched the welded steel armor plating.

Jaune: A Valean Carro Veloce CV33 with twin 8mm machineguns... and over there is the conversion for the 20mm Anti-Material Gun!!!

Jaune was in awe and excited beyond measure as he hovered around what he would call an adorable tankette. Until that revelry was shatter by a voice from behind.

Ozpin: Are you enjoying yourself Mr. Arc?

Jaune: Ah... um...

Ozpin: You are not in trouble Mr. Arc though I was not aware you held such an affinity for... such antiques.

Jaune: Antiques!!! These are pieces of artwork! Form and function made reality! Iron and steel powered by flame and thunder, manned by bone and blood!!!

Ozpin: Please calm down. I only came to see if you are alright. You friends are worried and security alerted me to you entering this area.

Jaune: I'm sorry, I'll...

Ozpin: I already said you are not in trouble Mr. arc. Far from that in fact.

Jaune: Huh?

Ozpin: It is a shame that these icons of human and faunus ingenuity lie here moldering away. How would you like to pick one?

Jaune: Huh?

Ozpin: Pick one. Restore it. Beacon will provide the funds, and maybe you could get others interested in doing the same.

Jaune: This one!

A/N: Girls und Panzer is a fun Anime... and I get a real kick out of this small Italian Tankette. I want my mind to envision how it would fight against grimm..

I did not, and now that I do, my unprofessional recommendation is that they send it to me, so they don't destroy a priceless historical artifact in some pointless tribal conflict.

Restored CV33/35 tankette in Italy.

[kalvinsarcade]

A test for a new boss tank for TANKETTES! The TTS-MG33! A formidable tank that packs an even more formidable surprise! I've wanted to do something like this for quite some time and it took nearly all two months to scrape together the free time to make it.

[weirdratblogs]

God I love the concept of the Tankette.

Just a lil guy pulling up on you and ruining your existence...

Beautiful.

Jaune et Carro Veloce

As a huntsmen candidate Jaune was less than stellar. In fact he was even with the assistance of his teammates and friends he was having an extremely stressful time not only keeping up with his studies but also his peers.

However, this was not the full story. Jaune was skilled and talented, just with a more civilian lean... plus his abilities and interest in Tankery. Jaune was tank geek, more specifically a nerd for tankettes.
