The HAL X-10 was an experimental heavy attack labor developed in partnership by manufacturers Shinohara and Hishii for the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The tank-like X-10 was equipped with four legs that allowed it to move through mountainous or forest terrain, although its legs also housed wheels. The X-10 was also equipped with a hover unit for high speed mobility. The X-10 featured a humanoid head that was used to scan the battlefield and locate enemies. The X-10 could mount a variety of armaments, including a smoothbore cannon, anti-aircraft gun, ATM launcher, missile launchers and smoke dischargers. In 1999, an X-10 unit escaped from its testing grounds into a forest area at Gotenba. In response, the JSDF deploys several AL-97B Samson units, but they were unable to contain the threat. The Tokyo police’s SV2 labor unit was then called in to deal with the problem, but the heavily armed (and armored) X-10 proved too much for even the versatile AV-98 Ingram. During the fight, the JSDF covered the runaway X-10’s model number with paint to conceal its identity as a military labor. In the end, the X-10 was stopped only after it ran out of ammunition, which allowed Asuma Shinohara to board the cockpit and remove the X-10’s movement disk.
