GM Defense M-10 Aztec Laser Armed MBT

by Tim Wing

The M10 Aztec was an early Robotech era main battle tank with a heavy laser as the main armament. Though revolutionary in design, the laser main gun was a poor performer. It had niether the range nor the armor piercing capability of the 120mm main guns of the time. Consequently, it was soon replaced in UN Spacy service by the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 MBTs… the very tanks the Aztec was built to replace!
