- RAGING BULL- Try and stop this puppy without blowing it up. Just try, the powerful motor, the strong frame, the Ronto is one mean (censored), it will push you out of the way, hard.
- STEERS LIKE A BRICK- The vehicle is tough and can take most grenade blasts, even some shaped charges along the sides, but what it has in defensive plating, it loses in handling.
- EXPOSED DORSAL GUN PORT- While the roof of the Ronto allows for a gunman, that spot is exposed for a well-placed missile shot or at least sniper.
Drawing much of its inspiration from Omega Squad's "Rontos", the "Gundark is relatively powerful, and is meant to be as modular and mission-ready as the military as a whole. A "little brother" of the Juggernaut, the vehicle is deceptively light for its size and capabilities and while it will not win any speed records, it is a mobile weapon fitting the name of the animal that bears its namesake. The weapon's capabilities allow for different options in combat insertion and extraction.
