The enhancement of the Mk II Maximus faced a lot of challenges to meet the demands of the NMSC; for example, to increase the operational range of the vehicle, as well as to power the new weapon systems. To achieve that, the powerpack had to be enlarged and updated, which translated to a longer rear hull to accommodate it. | The enhancement of the Mk II Maximus faced a lot of challenges to meet the demands of the NMSC; for example, to increase the operational range of the vehicle, as well as to power the new weapon systems.

The main difference is that instead of drawing more power for the shields to absorb an attack entirely, the tank's AI sets it so that incoming fire is slowed down enough to barely scratch the armor, making the overall system more efficient. |
