ThunderChunky, or T-Clap as she was affectionately known, was a close air support tarmac pig. The relic of a lost conflict, she had been resigned to a mechanized internment camp. Most of her kind had been scrapped, but a few, T-Clap among them, found new life hunting Zack along the lonely stretches of the Southwestern perimeter.

Swedish suspension, Italian exhaust, Spanish brakes, and Japanese lighting kept her operationally significant. American D616 rubber mounted on forged Assault wheels allowed extended range once the pavement ended ...and the pavement always ended. She was neither the tip of the spear, nor the blow of the hammer, but when dirt needed doing, ThunderChunky was your lady.
