Throw a grenade down the hatch – boom, it’s over. Works in all the old WW2 movies.
No grenade? Try Bandit down the hatch. She’ll stab them with her steely knives and (unlike Hotel Cali) kill the beast.
This is the wonder weapon that’s going to save the day? One detachment of troops lures wonderboy into chasing them, everybody else flanks and sacks the city. Anyway, there’s no way he can discriminate between crushing friend and foe in a thing that size, even if he wanted to, so presumably Silver Surfer breaks ranks to save his own guys from getting crushed, probably getting a death by redemption in the process. Bonus points if wonderboy winds up shelling his own city because there are savages near the walls.
There are a few gnomes, yes, but about half of these folks are full size humans or elves. They just look small compared to this machine. I must suppose that a few gnomes remained on the weapons development team even after Gnometown defected.
Meanwhile, who doesn’t love a tyrant who is lackadaisical about fatally running over his literally most loyal followers?
what the hell are the saws for? It’s an artillery platform, and they are not positioned where they could be used even if it did get into a knife fight. The arms at least could be used to move obstacles out of the way or something.
The saws are for when he invades the elves kingdom, taro is always thinking about the future, such a good leader
you can see his people waving their arms at him is this picture, a loved good leader.
Oooh, those shoulders look angry.
I love the smell of arcano-fuel in the morning: https://youtu.be/XRU1AJsXN1g
I didn’t even need metaknowledge to know absolutely everyone inside that thing is atypically small.
It’s like an anti-tardis. It’s bigger on the outside.
“At last, the Over-Compensation Engine is ready!”
The deadliness of a tank, the Mach Fie, and those little prize dangling claw machine thingies: all rolled into one!

I disagree with the alt-text.
It would have more likely won an arms race if it produced a “KA-THOOO-LOO” sound.
The joke is that the tank has arms. Get it? Get it?

Counterpoint: Taro doesn’t give a fuck.
Well, I do not know the full extent of the machine’s capabilities… but I hope that despite its wide tracks and “engine” it sinks into a bog.
They’ll just build another one on top of it.
Wait…I thought all (or most of) the gnomes were still hiding underground? How is he suddenly running over a bunch of gnomes? Did I miss something?

How cute…baby’s first collateral damages.
Remind me…why don’t OUR tanks come with sawblades?
We had something close- google ‘crab flail sherman’.
Because machine guns exist in our world.
Bah…guns take all the fun out of warfare.
They go blunt quickly, then get caught on things.
Must’ve missed a few pages, thought this was a dirigible. Throws self under juggernaut.
You probably missed this page from a chapter back.
Chapter 47, Page 1
Someones over compensating…
There is no kill like overkill.
Way to run over and murder your own populace, twat.
This ain’t a scene it’s a Gorram arms race!
Why would you build something inside a building that doesn’t have doors large enough to let it out?
Alternatively, looks like Taro is seriously overcompensating for some “shortcoming”.
I think the building did have large enough doors, but Taro lacked patients or had to much flare to use them
Isn’t he like 8?
Oh, another tank with appendWait a second is that a goddamn Railgun??
Can’t be a railgun, the projectile has to draw power from the rails for that to work. The circular piece in the middle would seem to preclude that.
Might be a gauss cannon though.
Not necessarily. The rails can be any shape, even two half-pipes, as long as they don’t touch and make the connections without the projectile.
METAL…GEAR??!?
The Shagohod! You take care of the driving, EVA, but leave the fighting to me!
LET”S GET IT ON!
I would never condone any violence toward children, but I will be very happy when that kid dies.
Wacky arm flailing inflatale doom tank!
Looks like the Kool-Aid Man got a tank
Pfft. You call that winning an arms race? Our next tank has arms with five joints each.
Isn’t Taro a little young to be overcompensating for something?
Too young for the specific something you have in mind, but there’s something to be said for his lack of access to certain rides at theme parks.
Trench run! Trench run!
A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR…
Doesn’t Goblaurence favor rocket launchers over such massive metal monstrosities?

Those arms look particularly flimsy. Like if you extended them out straight they’d probably snap under their own weight.
