My group recently captured a Black Volga. The PCs are uncertain whether to use it, strip it for parts, or set it on fire and roll it into a quarry.

How about a Timberjack walking forestry tractor? They were developed by Plustech in Finland in the 1990s, and that company was bought by John Deere in 2000.

Look, we're playing T2K, not BattleTech! /s

I remember seeing that in Popular Mechanics (Science?) way back when. At the time I thought it looked cool but couldn't understand the utility. Now I think it looks cool and understand the utility. It took a part time job driving a Bobcat many years ago on inclines/hills to understand why a walker would be super useful.

It was in a DC module, "Among the Dead".

Default BAT-2 CEV

This big ol' armored track layer/CEV would be really handy for a campaign that involves base-building.

Default Diesel Locomotive on Wheels

Check out this mashup of a 12-wheeled MAZ-547 and a Kolomna DM62 "Mashka" diesel-electric locomotive.

Although this strange beast was completed in 2002, there's no reason why it couldn't have been created earlier, in the T2k timeline(s). Apparently, one of its intended uses was as a mobile power station.

Only Russia would build a vehicle in 2002 that looks like it is from 1962 aesthetic-wise.

And we'll never know, if the design sketches were actually from 1962 or from 1992.

Default Ladoga: an APC for VIPs

I'd never heard of this thing before. Seems like it fits in the rare & exotic category. Check out the luxe interior!
