- Hammer - A toned down version of the Terminus Megamaser gives the Talos II a serious punch.
- Shield - Its armor layout is to counter direct fire to its front, top and turret, quite formidable.
- Blitz - Through speed the Talos II can achieve favourable positions on the battlefield and operational success.
- "Light" - Compared to other tanks and vehicles, it is comparatively light and can easily be re-deployed and maintained.
- Low Rider - The tank is quite low in its height to reduce its profile and work well in entrenched or "hull down" positions.
- Critical Damage - With a focus on the outer protection, the crew protection is quite lacking and can lead to the tank being inoperational simply because the crew is knocked out but the vehicle working fine.
- Not the front - The tank can easily be taken out from the sides and back.
- Lower Glacis - The lower section of the front armor is not as heavily protected as the other front parts and a potential weakspot.
- Tracks - Mines and fire focusing on the tracks can immobilise the tank.
- Winded - Prolonged combat in the vehicle will exhaust the crew exponentially due to its cramped and uncomfortable design.
The Talos II is a new main battle tank developed for the Ultranaut Corps by the Olympian Armorsmiths. Opposite to the Talos MBT developed previously, this design relies on easy production and simplistic designs, especially on the interior. Sacrificing comfort and protection for the crew, the Talos II is designed for breakthrough operations and head-on engagements while its flanks are secured either by infantry or other tanks. Due to its low maneuverability and lacking side and rear armor, it is not well suited for tight environments.
Despite its lower interior quality and its reduced armor layout, the Talos II is seen as an upgrade over the Talos I due to its increased operational and strategic benefits. Maintenance and resupply have moved into focus over minor tactical advantages and crew protection. A new instrument of domination for the Stormwar Doctrine, it will add significant armored warfare capabilities to the Eternal Army.
