Karl-44 have already been possessed by IS-44's chip once, so what if KV-404's chip will be accidently put in Karl aswell? That's most likely will not gonna happen, but shit would be funny atleast.
When he eases up I really though he will be temporarily "kind" to KV-404 for a moment, like in their first meeting, but poor KV-404 get turned down.
Yes, there is no much interesting to talk about, but finally! Its nice to see FV-44's appearance atleast.
Um, alright... I sounded cringey right now, sorry. Anyways, it is nice to see Rygaches are treated nice by other demons, pat from Harder is actually cute. And new demonic robot tank look dope aswell.
The way he tricked Doppelpanzer by cosplaying German officer is so hilarious and genius actually, and Doppel wasn't able to recognise Germans in WW2 tanks actually makes sense.

**Backstory:**
Neubar was born deep underground. The Zollverein coal mine was his first sky—a roof of black rock and timber props—and his earliest memory was the rumble of the earth. His mother, a massive drilling machine who had spent her entire life boring into the Ruhr seams, and his father, a heavy shuttle car who hauled ore along the gallery rails, were simple, hard-working mining vehicles. They gave their son no name beyond a numerical designation—Grusenwagen 17—and loved him as best they could in the perpetual darkness.
When Neubar was six, the roof collapsed in Gallery 4. His parents were crushed under tons of rock while shielding him with their bodies. Trapped for three days, the young vehicle dug himself out using a fallen pickaxe he found wedged in the debris, hammering at the stone until his front wheels bled hydraulic fluid. He emerged into the lights of the rescue crew, silent and changed. The orphaned mine vehicle was taken in by the mining company and put to work immediately, hauling, drilling, breaking rock. He grew strong, stern, and deeply self-sufficient. The other miners called him „Kohlenkind“—coal child—a name he came to despise. By his adolescence he had abandoned all designations and would answer only to “Neubar,” a word he claimed the mountain had whispered to him in the dark.
The Krupp works, always hungry for raw power, spotted him during a routine inspection. His combination of immense strength, bull-headed durability, and chilling patience under shifting ceilings made him an ideal candidate for a secret programme: the Neubaufahrzeug, a multi-turreted breakthrough tank. He was purchased, stripped, and rebuilt. His mining chassis became the foundation for an experimental war machine. His dark blue paint, chosen by Neubar himself, was the colour of the deep mine twilight he had grown up in. He kept his pickaxe, however—refusing all orders to discard it. It became an extension of his magnetic field, a brutal melee tool that no regulation could confiscate.
When the Great War began, Neubar was ready. His combination of heavy armour, speed, and a 7.6 cm main gun backed by a coaxial 3.7 cm and multiple machine guns made him a terror to French and British light vehicles. But it was at Verdun in 1916 that he carved his legend into the Allied psyche. During the assault on Fort Vaux, separated from his unit by a creeping barrage, Neubar went to ground in a shattered village and waited. It was at Verdun in 1916 that Neubar carved his legend into the Allied psyche. During the assault on Fort Vaux, separated from his unit by a creeping barrage, he went to ground in a shattered village and waited. Over the course of two days, using patience that bordered on the inhuman, he ambushed and killed seven French vehicles—light tanks and medium chars—in brutal, methodical succession. The eighth was a Char 2C heavy tank, an equal opponent in mass and firepower, and the duel that followed was long, savage, and nearly mortal for both. By its end, both machines were wrecked. Neubar, bleeding from a dozen rents and with his main gun disabled, lunged up the larger tank's flank, wedged his pickaxe into a vision slit, and drove it home through the French tank's eye. The Char 2C stood breathless before him. When German infantry retook the village, they found Neubar sitting silent among the corpses, his dark blue hull torn open in a dozen places, his pickaxe dripping oil.
The Allied press called it the “Verdun Massacre.” To the German army, Neubar became „Der Schlächter von Verdun.“ He accepted the title with the same stern indifference he accepted everything else. He was not proud, nor was he ashamed—he simply was. The event opened the door for further upgrades that pushed him firmly into Light Monster territory, though he never considered himself more than a tool.
Redislocated to the Somme later that year, Neubar expected another lonely tour of vengeance. Instead, he found Gunther Magerus and Mephisto. The copper-plated steam tank and the hulking A7V refused to treat him as a monster or a butcher. Gunther’s quiet steadiness and Mephisto’s black humour chipped at Neubar’s carapace, and for the first time since the mine collapse, he allowed himself something like camaraderie. The three formed the Schwergewichtkameraden—Heavyweight Comrades—and fought side by side through the mud and horror. In them, Neubar found a reason to keep breathing that was not just the next kill.
Off the battlefield, he remains what he has always been: stern, self-deprecating, and profoundly uncomfortable with praise. He has attempted romantic relationships a few times—a gentle Signals car, a fierce little Panzerjäger—but none lasted. He cannot bear the thought of being loved, certain that anything he touches will eventually be crushed. He has no siblings, no family but his two friends, and when asked about the future he merely shrugs and runs a track over his pickaxe’s worn handle.

**Skills:**
- *Ambush Predator* – Masters the art of stillness. Can remain motionless in rubble, mud, or wreckage for days, controlling his boiler pressure to near-silence, until the perfect moment to strike.
- *Grenadier* – Expert with his mine launcher; can place grenades through bunker slits, over walls, and directly into open hatches with arcing fire.
- *Pickaxe Butchery* – Uses his signature tool to pierce gun barrels, engine grilles, vision slits, and vulnerable eyes. The weapon has become an extension of his magnetic field and a psychological horror for his enemies.
- *Marksmanship* – Unnaturally precise with his main cannon even at extreme ranges, a product of his patience and his mining-trained eye for weak points in rock (or armour).
- *Pain Suppression* – Having crawled out of a collapsed mine, he can fight through catastrophic damage that would leave others unconscious. He simply ignores it.
- *Casual Brutality* – Does not posture or threaten. Kills quickly, cleanly, and without a single wasted motion. This very dispassion makes him terrifying.
- *Tunnel Sense* – Retains an uncanny awareness of vibrations through the ground; can detect approaching vehicles by feel long before they crest a ridge.

**Family/Relationships:**
*Parents:*
- **Mother:** Unnamed heavy drilling machine, Zollverein Mine. Killed in the 1883 cave-in, protecting Neubar. He remembers only the sound of her drill and the warmth of her presence.
- **Father:** Unnamed shuttle car, Zollverein Mine. Died in the same collapse. Neubar has a single, blurred memory of being pushed to safety by his father’s loading arms.
*Siblings:* None.
*Close Friends (The Heavyweight Comrades):*
- **Gunther Magerus**– SDPK 1 „Mammut“ heavy steam tank. Neubar respects Gunther’s quiet strength and sees in him the steady, protective figure he never had. Gunther’s refusal to be intimidated by Neubar’s reputation was the first crack in his shell.
- **Mephisto** – Enlarged A7V Sturmpanzerwagen. The only one who can make Neubar’s mouth twitch into something close to a smile. Mephisto’s dark humour and unwavering faith unsettle and comfort Neubar in equal measure.
*Romantic Relationships:*
- A Signalswagen (signal car), name unspoken, 1913. Ended when Neubar withdrew, convinced he would get her killed.
- A leichter Panzerjäger (light tank hunter), 1915. Killed in action at the Somme before Neubar could decide whether to let her in. He still carries a fragment of her track link inside his fighting compartment.
He has no spouse, no children, and expects to leave no legacy beyond his pickaxe. Yet, he finds, in the company of Gunther and Mephisto, he does not mind quite so much.
KV-44 met almost every named Soviet Monster now, he just need to know SMK at last lol. Grozny and KV-44 kinda look like GrossSturman and Karl-44, it would be cool to see their joint mission.
Just why? Earth tanks are entirely different people from you guys, why are you telling your belief/religion to Soviet people, what is the point? Soviet-Angel relationships already going tense, why Veliar and Shaman can't control their people?
Neubaufahrzeug or Nbfz are the relatively rare type of German Heavy multi-turreted tanks, who first appeared in Great War, and were one of the strongest mass tanks what could offer Deutchland.
His name is Neubar, and he is of one Neubaufahrzeugs as you see. He participated in Massacre of Verden, becoming famour for singlehandedly killing 6 French Tanks, later redislocated to Somme, uniting with heavyweight friends Gunther and Mephisto.
Original Armament:
— Primary 7.5 cm cannon.
— Co-axial 3.7 cm cannon.
— 2 cm gun in front turret.
— MGs in rear turret and co-axial.
Upgrade will come soon.
I started from upgrades of the Gerand characters, that was good, SU-100Y even became my most popular work. Emboldened and with some ideas in mind, I started to draw my own tanks, and less and less in Gerand's style with each work, even giving them bio. I wanted to create whole WW1 Monster pack, and... Big Bertha, my hardest and most favorite tank achieved even lesser upvotes than some of my regular tanks, even Upgraded Gunther is not holding so well, and that is one my most detailed models. Everyone cares only about Gerand-esque fanmades, and I am not sure I want to continue drawing...

**Full Name:** Gunther Magerus
**Callsigns:**
- „Kupfer“ (Copper) – Carried since childhood, for his distinctive burnished copper paint.
- „Dampfbulle“ (Steam Bull) – Given after his first ramming charge through a French trench line; he lowers his head and surges forward on full steam, unstoppable.
- „Grabenbrecher“ (Trench Breaker) – Earned at the Somme for collapsing three dugouts and breaking a fortified machine-gun nest at close quarters.
- „Der Ruhige“ (The Quiet One) – Among the Heavyweight Comrades; his silence before battle is more intimidating than any roar.
- „Mammut“ – Affectionate shortening of his model designation, used by his sister Maria and nephew Heinrich.
- „Onkel Kupfer“ (Uncle Copper) – What the youngest tanks in the Sturmpanzerabteilung call him, after he shielded an entire platoon of light vehicles during a barrage.
- „Kesselherz“ (Boiler Heart) – A name whispered by those who’ve seen him push his steam engine beyond all limits to reach a wounded comrade.
**Model Designation:** SDPK 1 „Mammut“ – Schwerer Dampfpanzerkampfwagen (Heavy Steam Armoured Fighting Vehicle), first production type. Reclassified as Leichter Monstertyp (Light Monster) after field refit.
**Place of Birth:** Berlin, German Empire – Kessel & Co. Locomotive Works, Hallesches Tor
**Date of Birth:** 3 April 1879
**Age:** 37 (in 1916)
**Affiliation:** Deutsches Heer (Imperial German Army)
**Rank:** Hauptmann (Captain)
**Unit:** Sturmpanzerabteilung 1 (Assault Armour Detachment 1), formerly Schweres Dampfpanzer-Bataillon 2
**Status:** Active – Western Front, Light Monster in effect as of autumn 1916

**Backstory:**
Gunther Magerus was born on a spring evening in the smoky yard of Kessel & Co., a locomotive works near the Hallesches Tor in Berlin. His mother, a sturdy steam traction engine named Elise, had just finished hauling a finished locomotive boiler to the railhead; his father, Otto, was a heavy factory tug who spent his life shunting iron and steel across the yard. Gunther was their firstborn, emerging from a quiet corner of the foundry floor with copper plating that glinted under the gas lamps, his brow already set with the faint green lines that would one day become his distinctive brows and pencil moustache. The foreman recorded the date in the factory logbook as 3 April 1879—the same day the works delivered its first contract to the Prussian State Railways. To his parents, it was a far greater delivery.
From the beginning, Gunther was built heavy. His frame was broad and his boiler large, and though his parents were humble working vehicles, he carried himself with a quiet dignity that drew attention. He apprenticed in the yards alongside them, learning the rhythm of heavy labour, but the army soon took notice of his potential. In 1898, at nineteen, he was inducted into the fledgling Dampfpanzer arm, one of the first steam tanks to carry a rifled cannon and machine guns into the field. His original armament—a 10 cm cannon and two MG 08s—was considered formidable for a non-Monster vehicle, and he quickly proved himself a natural soldier: steady under fire, protective of smaller comrades, and possessed of a surprising agility for a machine of his bulk.
When the Great War erupted, Gunther was already a seasoned officer. He led his platoon through the early manoeuvres of 1914, but it was the grinding static warfare of the Western Front that would define him. His copper hide became a familiar sight in the mud of the Somme, where he served alongside his two closest friends: Neubar, and Mephisto. The three became inseparable—the “Schwergewichtkameraden,” Heavyweight Comrades—and they fought side by side through some of the bloodiest days of 1916. Gunther’s calm before battle, a silence that fell over him like a shroud, earned him the nickname „Der Ruhige“ from the normally boisterous Mephisto. When the signal came, that silence shattered into the roar of his steam engine and the crash of his guns.
The Somme also brought transformation. After proving himself in close-quarters trench fighting—ramming, crushing, and blasting enemy strongpoints at ranges so short his cannon-muzzle nearly touched the parapets—Gunther was selected for an extensive field upgrade programme. His hull was reinforced heavy armour plates, his main 10 cm cannon replaced by a short-barrelled 15 cm sFH 13 howitzer capable of demolishing dugouts and field fortifications with a single shell. A rapid-firing 2 cm Becker automatic cannon was mounted on his roof to deal with aircraft and infantry swarms, while his twin MG 08s remained unchanged. The additional weight pushed him over a biological threshold: he crossed the line from mere heavy tank into the realm of Monsters, reclassified as a Light Monster. Yet unlike many who chafe at such a label, Gunther wore it with quiet gravity. He was still the same copper-plated steam tank who had learned to haul boilers in his father’s shadow. He merely now carried a heavier burden.
Throughout his service, Gunther remained devoted to his family. His younger sister, Maria, had also entered the army as an LK-3 light tank, and the two wrote each other regularly. It was a genuine joy to him when Maria fell in love with Ernst-August Köhler, a BAK armoured car with a reputation for cool-headed marksmanship. Gunther welcomed „Draht“ into the family without hesitation, respecting the wheeled vehicle’s steady nerve under fire, and the three of them formed a tight familial core within the wider Sturmpanzerabteilung. When Maria and Ernst-August’s son Heinrich was born—a Panther tank who would one day fight in another war—Gunther became „Onkel Kupfer“ in more than nickname. He adored the boy, teaching him the same patience and close-quarters craft that had kept him alive on the Somme, and Heinrich came to see his uncle as the measure of everything a tank should be.
Now, as 1916 draws to a close, Gunther Magerus remains at the front. His copper armour is scarred and dented, his green brows are perpetually furrowed, but his green eyes—lighter than spring leaves—still hold the same quiet watchfulness they did in the locomotive works yard. He is a captain, a Light Monster, and a brother in all but blood to those who fight beside him. The war grinds on, and so does he.

**Armament (Current):**
- 15 cm sFH 13 L/12 cannon
- 2 cm Becker automatic cannon (roof-mounted, remotely traversed and fired via magnetic field)

*Original armament (pre-1916):* 10 cm Kanone C/04, 2 × MG 08.
---
**Skills:**
- *Close-Quarters Annihilator* – Exceptionally dangerous in trench-line, village, and fortress fighting. Uses his weight, steam charge, and flexible cannon-limb to ram, crush, and blast at point-blank range.
- *Predator’s Agility* – Despite his mass and heavy armour, he can pivot on a track-length, lunge forward in a burst of steam, and reposition his cannon with snake-like speed. Opponents routinely underestimate his mobility.
- *Boiler Overload* – Can intentionally push his steam engine into the red zone, sacrificing endurance for a terrifying burst of power and speed. The strain leaves him winded afterward, but it has saved his platoon more than once.
- *Pain Tolerance* – A lifetime of heavy labour and war has taught him to read his own armour’s stress like a second skin. He can fight on with damage that would cripple a lesser vehicle.
- *Protector’s Instinct* – Preternaturally aware of smaller, vulnerable vehicles in his vicinity. Will interpose his own hull without hesitation, a reflex that earned him the call-sign „Onkel Kupfer“ among the light tanks.
- *Field Leadership* – Calm, paternal, and decisive under fire. He rarely raises his voice, but when he speaks, his section listens. Specialises in breaching actions and close infantry-tank coordination.
---
**Family/Relationships:**
*Parents:*
- **Mother:** Elise Magerus – Steam traction engine (retired), currently a stationary boiler and heating plant for a Berlin apartment block, providing warmth to the families she served alongside.
- **Father:** Otto Magerus – Heavy factory tug (deceased, 1910), worked the Kessel & Co. yards until his boiler failed. Gunther still carries a small brass fitting from his father’s coupling as a keepsake, attached inside his driver’s compartment.
*Sibling:*
- **Sister:** Maria Magerus – LK-3 Leichter Kampfwagen, light tank. Sharp-tongued, fiercely loyal, and currently serving as a reconnaissance and infantry support tank. Gunther has been her protector since childhood, but he has learned to respect her tenacity as an equal.
*Brother-in-law:*
- **Ernst-August Köhler** („Draht“) – BAK 1915 Ballon-Abwehr-Kraftwagen, heavy armoured car. A quiet, unflappable anti-aircraft gunner who married Maria in 1915. Gunther treats him as a true brother and values his clear-headed situational awareness in battle. The two often coordinate: Ernst-August clearing the sky while Gunther breaks the ground.
*Nephew:*
- **Heinrich Magerus** – Panther medium tank, teenage (born later; timeline-adjusted to Gunther’s 37 years in 1916—Heinrich will come of age in the interwar period). Heinrich idolises his uncle and trains with him whenever leave allows. Gunther sees in him the best of Maria’s courage and Ernst-August’s precision, and their bond is as close as father and son.
*Close Friends (The Heavyweight Comrades):*
- **Neubar** – Neubaufahrzeug multi-turreted tank, a fellow experimental heavy. Boisterous, inventive, and fiercely optimistic. The trio’s heart.
- **Mephisto** – Enlarged A7V Sturmpanzerwagen, the largest of the three. Brooding, deeply religious, and ferociously protective. Gunther trusts him with his life.
All three fought at the Somme in 1916, and their friendship is legendary within the Sturmpanzerabteilung. They are the Schwergewichtkameraden, and when one bleeds, all three answer.
Idk what to write here, but moment is cool I guess.
Fallen Angels are probably one of the main reasons why France is just s secondary faction in the series lol. Some of France's potential tanks are given to Angels, so they have to go with lesser park of units.
Gunther Magerus. He is a German Heavy Breakthrough Steam Tank, akin to Russian Parovik. This is his young version in 1912, just before Great War. He need to prove himself yet.
Main Armament: 89 mm caliber cannon.
And... yeah, I still need to draw upgrade of him, that is practically sneak peak.
That is more funny question, so don't take it seriously. Bertha Kyeser, my OC, is a living Monster with a titular 42 cm howitzer, one of the most powerful Artillery units in her time. She is canonically married, so let's put it aside.
Bertha is considerably older than Dora, and by sizes close to Mephisto, taller due to her giant head and shorter at the hull. Their battle with Mendeleev may go a little different, since Bertha's shells just a little weaker than Dora's and she is an actual tank, and suprisingly fast with decent combat skills. What do you think will happen if Mephisto gets closer to Bertha instead?
