Editing Mastodon (section)

===Combat Role===
The main usage of the Mastodon as mentioned is to act as a long distance heavy transporter that was able to carry a large number of [[SPESS MEHREENS]] to a relatively safe area or used to assault enemy fortification without being wrecked by heavy weaponry that can put a [[Land Raider]] on life support. Once it has immediate contact with a fortified wall, the Mastodon would then use its forward mounted [[Melta|Siege Melta Array]] that could create a breach through even the thickest of enemy walls and vaporize any poor unfortunate sod standing in front or behind the wall. Once the Mastodon creates a breach, powerful interior servos fire the assault doors open and the Space Marines or its respective Dreadnoughts would begin to assault its position.

The Mastodon is also one of the most heavily armored transports of the Imperium, having its interior and exterior clad in ceramite plating. The vehicle's upper deck is where the driver and crew are usually stationed and is filled with hatches and portholes for when the commanding officers wants to direct the battle. Furthermore, in case the enemy tries to use chemical or biological weaponry through any suspected holes in the vehicle, [[Internet Troll|the Mastodon can be sealed closed on all sides/doors preventing any leaking.]] The Mastodon is also equipped with two Void Shield Generators, providing them ample protection from the occasional Titan. The reinforced interior shell and thick exterior armour is so sturdy that even when the vehicle goes kaput it will transform into a nearly indestructible wreck of twisted metal, acting as a small bunker that can protect those vulnerable super soldiers from las or melta fire.
