	The '''Mastodon''', also known as the Mastodon Heavy Assault Transport, is a super heavy transport utilized by the [[SPESS MEHREENS\|SPESS MAHREEN!]] Legions during the [[Great Crusade]] and subsequent [[Horus Heresy\|Heresy]] against the most heavily fortified of enemy positions, and was one of the largest vehicles usable by the Space Marines. It's a ground-bound [[Caestus Assault Ram]]. How large you say? Well it was several times the size of a [[Land Raider]] and was capable of holding up to forty Space Marines, or twenty Marines and two [[Dreadnoughts]], while protecting them against everything from artillery to [[Awesome\|fucking Titans!]] Aptly named as the Magic School Bus by [[/tg/]] due to its mode of transportation and shape. The Salamanders supposedly had the most out of any Legion, as during the One-Five-Four-Six ‘Kharaatan’ Campaign, they brought enough Mastodons to transport the entire Legion force present, about 6000 Legionaries, which would be about 150 of these monsters all in one place.

	After the Heresy, the Mastodon faded from Imperial production and usage, due to either having been lost, kept jealously secret by the Techpriests that still protect them, or just joining the [[Stormbird]] in the mothball bin after the breaking of the legions. On the Traitor side of things, it must be assumed that by the time of the Siege of Terra the Traitors had already lost most of their Mastodons, as the Emperor's palace had to be breached by the more mundane method of massed [[Vindicator]] fire. Although, even during the Great Crusade the Mastodon was only used sparingly, as deploying them was a royal pain in the ass due to the vehicle's bulkiness and impracticality, especially when cheaper and faster alternatives such as [[Rhino\|Rhinos]], [[Land Raider\|Land Raiders]], hell, even [[Spartan Assault Tank\|Spartans]], were readily available. As a result, the Mastodon was generally only deployed during long protracted siege operations where one or more entire Legions had amassed to destroy a foe that nothing else was capable of engaging.

	The Mastodon is armed with a forwards-firing [[Siege Melta Array]], which is an array of nine melta-weapons to breach enemy walls and fortifications. The secondary weapons of the Mastodon include a turret-mounted [[Skyreaper Battery]] for protection from enemy flyers as well as two sponson-mounted Heavy Flamers for those fast moving critters and two sponson-mounted [[Lascannon]]s for the occasional tank who thinks it's being sneaky by assaulting the Mastodon on its side or rear. The Mastodon's tertiary armaments are Smoke Launchers and a Searchlight, and it can also be equipped with up to four [[Hunter-Killer Missile\|Hunter-Killer Missile Launchers.]] The Mastodon can also be used a command tank, and its Skyreaper Battery can be completely replaced with a command vox relay system.

	===Combat Role===		===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.
