Description[]
The Invader is a depiction of a souped-up tank with twin turbine engines and twin side exhausts. According to the Turbo Driver video game, its missile is called the "Icebreaker" that launches from the turret when the rear of the tank is pressed. In 2010, the casting lost its missile, most likely to reduce cost. As of 2015, the model lost its double front axles. According to Turbo Driver, the Invader weighs over 17,036.7 lbs in-universe.
