Just stick around a little longer will yeah?

**Vohantex (XDA50)** is a name given to a robotic tank made in the United States by ASWS. Once just a simple robot with a little personality, he eventually gained one quickly from interaction with his creators.

## Background

### Physical description

Being a tank, he is naturally big in size and armed to the teeth with weapons. His main gun is larger than a normal tank cannon due to it firing 155mm rounds. The gun also features a large muzzle break with a sighting device. There is also sidebars that appear on the left and right side of his barrel that can change in color. See **Trivia** for what color represents what.

His overall armor is composed primarily of Osmonic Titanium Alloy with interwoven carbon nanotubes. this makes his armor incredibily tough, far more tough than most tanks. It is however rather thick in various places most notably the front. This allows Vohantex to take incredible amounts of punishment. His turret also features two hidden eyes behind a thick Vitalite cover which fake eyes are holographically projected. He also features ears to show additional emotion.

Vohantex is primarily powered by an internal fusion reactor. This power source provides most of Vohantex's electrical power and allows him to stay in combat for long periods of time without refueling. He still however needs to occasionally "sleep" in order to recharge his batteries which are present both for redundancy and a storage medium should he need a burst of energy. He can also utilize a backup engine fueled by Hydrodiesel, a fuel efficient but extremely volotile fuel source. He only uses the engine in the event he is struck by an Electromagnetic Pulse that can easily disrupt his electrical systems

For locomotion, Vohantex has two large tank tracks which are abnormally wide but are extremely durable. Each track is powered by either electric motors powering each wheel or the backup Hydrodiesel engine powering the rear two wheels, the electric motors are incredibly powerful allowing Vohantex to travel at over 120 MPH despite his heft. Using his Hydrodiesel engine however only allows him to travel at a more slower pace of 45 MPH and is considerably louder.

### History

#### Creation

After the Timeshock Wave, ASWS was quick to develop and A.I that they would later use in the War of 3008 in their Enforcer robots. After the war, they made a special version of the A.I that had the ability to be self aware and implemented it into a tank chassis modified with robotic components. Initial tests often had the robotic tank either being overly hostile or non responsive, its only when iteration 50 was tested where results were much more favorable.

Designated **XDA50**, the robot tank was to be trained under the guidance of Tobison Alkno. Teaching the robot various things related to tank combat to the best of its ability. After many months of training, XDA50 proved to be a combat capable robot tank though given the volatility of the failed 49 iterations prior, they only made one in existence and so to set it apart, they modified XDA50 for it to have the ability to emote and display its emotions visually.

#### Meeting VOTE-X

At some point, VOTE-X Abrams met XDA50 in person for the first time of which both only had heard stories of each other prior. The two got along surprisingly well despite the former being awfully anti social. They often go out together during operations and training, as well as getting into trouble for their antics much to the annoyance of Tobison Alkno.

Throughout their interactions, both couldn't help but have a sense of deja vu at times.

#### Regaining back past memories

One day, XDA50 was asked to come to a hangar alone to meet VOTE-X who had a sudden shift in personality of which he "explained" it was a result of modifications he had received. Brushing the topic aside, VOTE-X introduced XDA50 to the AD-A5 Shells, a special tank shell with a strong adhesive payload that can easily stop almost anything. XDA50 was eager to test them and after a few shots, VOTE-X told XDA50 he would be the test dummy for a small moving target.

VOTE-X quickly started to "run" around, albeit suspiciously with a predicitable pattern. XDA50 proceeded to effortlessly stick VOTE-X to the ground, who started to struggle to pull himself free from the adhesive predicament who XDA50 finds mildly amusing and decides to shoot a second round at his feet firmly gluing him down completely. After a short chuckle at VOTE-X's situation, he suddenly had a flow of memories that temporarily knocked him out.

Some minutes later, XDA50 woke up, now with new memories of the past. Wondering if his ploy had worked, VOTE-X asked XDA50 what his name is to which he responded back with **Vohantex**. VOTE-X was very happy and wanted to hug Vohantex but was still firmly glued to the ground to which Vohantex find it amusing before questioning what even happened to the world. After being freed from the adhesive and explaining what had happened, Vohantex was stunned and wanted to leave ASWS as soon as possible. VOTE-X agreed and went on to find the other ASWS bots to participate in a renegade.

#### "Acquiring" Spitfire

Vohantex and VOTE-X was able to meet Spitfire in private and tricked her into getting caught in a magnet floor trap. To their surprise, Spitfire wasn't actively attempting to break free but rather was enjoying it and showed no signs of change in her personality. They questioned her various things to which she was able to reply to all of them, and then she realizes that she had just embarrassed herself when she was caught in the magnet floor trap much to Vohantex and VOTE-X's confused faces.

Brushing it aside and freeing Spitfire from the trap, VOTE-X asked if Drakojet should come with them. Spitfire told him about his backstory to which VOTE-X was extremely shocked to hear considering how it was in the previous timeline. With some debate, they decided to leave Drakojet as is even if it means they have to fight him later on and started to plan a renegade.

#### The Renegade

After much planning, VOTE-X, Vohantex and Spitfire enacted their renegade plan and it went smoothly until the alarm was sounded. VOTE-X rode on Vohantex throughout once they blast through a wall that Vohantex had been indicated prior and enter a forest directly after. Upon making their way outside, VOTE-X helped to remove Spitfire and Vohantex's internal trackers before removing his own and with some spare Fusion Clips, VOTE-X rigged them to explode when anybody approaches their now removed trackers as a trap. After several explosions, the trio had managed to evade further detection from ASWS as they make their way further into the forest

#### Encountering Reece, Wall-Z, and Zeve

While they made their way through the forest, they encounter a Wall-E robot they had only seen on the news and despite their attempt to explain who they was, VOTE-X, Vohantex and Spitfire attack as they did not trust the bot. The bot was mysteriously not aggressive and attempted to explain something but the trio continued to attack him. Vohantex was able to glue the Wall-E robot down and before they can strike the bot, their colors suddenly change to reveal it was Reece they were fighting. The trio quickly apologized and freed Reece from the adhesive puddle, not long after Wall-Z and Zeve arrive to see that the group was back together again.

VOTE-X suggested that they continue as a group instead of working by themselves and while Reece initially refused, he eventually agreed after some explanation and having some sense knocked back into him. Spitfire establishes herself as the leader despite Vohantex having his doubts but he kept it to himself.

#### Acquiring the ASWS Truck

After the group got together, they had to find a base they would live in, as well as a place to hide in the event ASWS tries to search for them. Vote-X remembered he once saw a massive truck in an ASWS facility not too far from where they are which would make the perfect mobile base and tells the rest about it. Vohantex was concerned about the usable space, Vote-X assures that there will be plenty of space for everyone. Soon after all of them agreed and set off to steal the truck

Upon reaching the facility that stored the truck, Vohantex took down some of the security there through nearly immobilized from an anti-tank round to his treads. Though due to lack of coordination they didn't manage to get away unnoticed. Once everyone was onboard the truck, they proceed to drive out of the city though not before destroying countless buildings and overpasses due to Vote-X panicking to activate the external cameras to see where they were going.

While ASWS was blabbering on the news, Vohantex noted that the name ASWS referred to them as "The Gang" sounded like a good name for their little group. While the others were not thrilled about the name, Vohantex argued it sounds better than "The Bots" and asked if they had any better names to which none could come up with an alternative. And as such, they agreed to go by the name of The Gang.

Sometime later, Spitfire and Reece fight over leadership of The Gang while the others watch them fight it out. Vohantex voted that Spitfire would win the fight while Vote-X voted for Reece, though Reece won the fight easily. Which leadership was given to Reece afterward while Vote-X gave up his second in command position to Zeve.

#### YAF-ARH encounter

After some missions, The Gang decided to explore a ruined ASWS facility they destroyed previously in search of parts they could use. While Vohantex was searching for scrap metal, he heard Reece scream who burst into laughter because he never knew Reece could scream like that. Though things got serious soon after he finds out that Reece was being chased by a giant robot spider tank.

After the robot spider tank revealed itself, who was YAF-ARH, the gang attacked after refusing to surrender. Vohantex was surprised his armor-piercing rounds were ricocheting off YAF-ARH's armor so he decided to retreat to wait for the opportunity to get close. Though Spitfire quickly tried her sonic pulsers on YAF-ARH, who shoots one of his plasma graviton cannon at her. With Spitfire severely wounded, Vohantex took this opportunity and rammed YAF-ARH while emptying his shells into him which still did nothing.

In retaliation, YAF-ARH fired his S-Hedsive cannon at Vohantex. Vohantex was caught off guard and was promptly stuck firmly to the ground through some of the adhesives was covering his head. When YAF-ARH swapped targets Vohantex tries to break free but he could barely move an inch and couldn't turn his head or cannon, this caused Vohantex to panic and struggles with all his strength but was quickly exhausted and he had to wait for help.

After being freed from the S-Hedsive by Vote-X that held him in place and escaping. Vohantex was repaired from any damage from his attempted struggle by Vote-X. Vohantex had a nightmare of what happened recently and abruptly awoke in a panic though he calms down quickly.

#### Capture, escape and YAF-ARH's destruction

At one point, Reece leads The Gang to an assault on ASWS's HQ. Though things quickly turn for the worse as ASWS anticipated their arrival. WIth Vohantex held by heavy restraints as well as a restraint that held his barrel in place. Sometime later they break free from their cells, with Vohantex having his restraints painfully removed.

While escaping, YAF-ARH confronts them and started to fire his S-Hedsive cannon to stop them. Vohantex frantically tries to dodge the attacks but was eventually hit by a blob of S-Hedsive. Vohantex started to panic but quickly calms down. While Reece, who was in his super form, battled YAF-ARH. While efforts of freeing Vohantex's tracks is taking longer than usual, Vote-X manage to free Vohantex's turret from the adhesive. Just in time too as they noticed YAF-ARH being in a severely damaged state, which all of them quickly focused all of their attacks into YAF-ARH who was quickly destroyed once and for all.

#### Zeve's capture, rescue and Reece's fate

At one point, Zeve was captured by ASWS who wanted infomation about her. While the others manage were stealthily finding Zeve, Vohantex stood on guard next to Thompson who was in his jet mode as he was their escape vehicle. After an alarm is sounded, Vohantex noticed numerous cannons deploying from the walls. After realizing the projectiles they were shooting were adhesive rounds, Vohantex tried his best to prevent the adhesive rounds from hitting Thompson but some manage to stick Thompson down.

As the gang arrived, Vohantex infomed them that Thompson is stuck and needs the adhesive to be removed. As they try to remove the adhesive, ASWS soldier show up to confront the gang with Vohantex providing cover for most of the gang.

After a prolonged fight, they manage to remove the adheisve that held Thompson down and boarded onto him. Though while doing so a ASWS soldier fired a rocket at them. Though the rocket missed and caused a massive chain reaction that killed the ASWS soldiers. Before the fireball reached the gang, Reece ran towards the fireball and used the Chaos Force to stop the fireball from engulfing them. Vohantex wanted to get Reece in but had no choice but to watch as he Force pushes Zeve and later the jet out of harms way as he is engulfed in flames. Passed away and became one with the Chaos Force.

#### Final assault and untimely death

After much grief over Reece's death, the rest of the gang set out to undo the timeline once and for all. With some preperations they were ready to assault the ASWS Daedalus after Thompson confirmed it's location.

As the gang took off while in Thompson's jet mode, Vohantex was getting nervous about the final assault due to them facing the entire ASWS force. Though he notices they are rather high up in the sky, in which Vote-x told him that they were going to assault the ship from above via a High altitude-low opening jump, HALO Jump. Once above the ship the gang jumped out of Thompson while Thompson himself turned into an missile truck.

Despite a successful jump, ASWS manage to detect the gang early above their ship and started to fire at them with anti air weapons. Vohantex's parachute, due to it being larger, was shredded by the anti air weapons and fell faster towards the ship. Vohantex tries his best to slow himself down but he gets hit by an surface to air missile, severly wounding him. Though he wasn't alive for long as he crashed into the ship, subsequently killing him on impact.

## Armament

### Main Cannon

His main gun is the Excalibur 155mm Autocannon. An Autocannon that utilizes an intentional slamfire design which allows for a unusually high rate of fire for a large caliber cannon. Capable of firing at well over 120 RPM, the weapon can output a large amount of firepower and due to advanced recoil mitigation systems and a large muzzle break, the overall recoil per shot is mild by cannon standards.

He can carry up to 30 shells without modifications, ranging from High explosive, Armour piercing and his personal favorite, the AD-A5 Shells. This limits Vohantex's total combat time and if fired full auto will run out of shells in 15 seconds.

### Secondary Weapons

Vohantex does not have a coaxial machine gun. He does have secondary weapons that can be mounted and stored within in. Weapons that could be mounted can vary from a regular machine gun to an experimental railgun.

His most prefered secondary weapon is a **DL-454 Energy Cannon**, which was obtained when a Seaker Enforcer was not destroyed in combat and taken for study. A powerful weapon, it can easily shred most armor plating only held back by a slow rate of fire of 480 RPM. The weapon would be directly powered by Vohantex's fusion reactor and can fire as long as the barrel does not overheat.

## Personality

When he was the XDA50 tank, he possesses little personality and only follows direct instructions. Only having problems and asking questions about things he is unfamiliar with. Once he regained his memories, his personality changes drastically. Where he has a very cheerful personality and rather playful for a bot of his type. He is also somewhat cocky at times and often will taunt others.

Because of this he always ends up in trouble. This isn't helped as Vohantex is also known for pulling off sticky pranks on others when not in battle. When in battle however he will drop his playful side and show his more serious side. He also enjoys offroading regularly, whether it be on sand or muddy terrain. Due to him being hunted down by ASWS however he has only done so carefully.

## Relationships (More information added later)

### VOTE-X Abrams

Initially, VOTE-X Abrams met him in his XDA50 state. Though after getting Vohantex to fire an adhesive round to restore his memories, the two were the same best friends they knew. Despite this he frequently targets VOTE-X for laughs with his adhesive rounds.

Also VOTE-X Abrams is Vohantex's main mechanic in the even something goes wrong with him.

### Drakojet

The two never seen eye to eye much, mostly due to Drakojet being deployed on missions frequently. After Vohantex renegades from ASWS, he has been a threat to the Gang and often proved hard to fight due to Drakojet's ability to transform into a fighter jet.

### Spitfire

Despite the fact the two keeps pulling off pranks on one another, the two are great friends. Vohantex always respects Spitfire and will often not doubt her decisions, though her Sonic Pulsers makes Vohantex cautious around her if she is in fustration.

### Tobison Alkno

Vohantex's former squad leader, while he never liked Tobison Alkno due to his strict behavior, he has learned many things from him. And because Tobison's memories wasn't altered he knew he could trust Tobison to provide intel of any ASWS intel that can help the Gang.

## Trivia

* Vohantex's overall design is loosely based on the Challenger 2 main battle tank.
* The sidebars on his barrel changes to a specific color. The color is as follows:
	+ White is displayed either when he is asleep or at idle.
	+ Red is displayed when he is angry, frustrated or surprised.
	+ Blue is displayed when he is scared, worried or upset.
	+ Yellow is displayed when he is happy or excited.
	+ Purple is displayed when he is in pain.
* Vohantex is considerably faster than any other tank and most of the characters in the Voltic Universe. Obviously he will never match the likes of Wall-Z or Reece, but he will still outrun a typical WALL-E Robot.
