The thor panzermech is designed to enter the toughest urban environments and deal with entrenched infantry. Well armoured and armed it does its job far too well for most opponent’s liking. Although it is often the zeus heavy panzermech that claims much of the prestige associated with the german heavy panzermech programme, it is the thor that led the way in both design and application of rift-tech. First fielded alongside the zeus in april 1946, the thor was the rift-tech inspired, original design that was later modified to create the zeus. Developed to provide infantry in urban combat zones a form of mobile pillbox, the lessons identified in stalingrad, warsaw and brussels were clearly a large part of the thor’s design criteria.
