Background

The Landmaster is a tank used by the Star Fox Team, designed by Slippy Toad and was originally being developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd. as an armored exploration vehicle. However, when the Star Fox Team required a land based combat vehicle, it was converted by adding stronger battle armor and weapons systems. The only prototype is now part of the Star Fox Team's arsenal. Although primarily a ground based assault weapon, the Landmaster can also hover for a short time, and can roll from side to side to help it avoid land mines and enemy attacks. Since Corneria's defense forces do not have a tank corps, the Star Fox Team's Landmaster is the only vehicle that can do the job.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Landmaster’s history. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

In "Star Fox 64", the Landmaster tank makes its first appearance, looking very similar to the T57 AAP Tank, sporting the familiar blue and white color schemes of other Star Fox team vehicles. There are two blue G-Diffuser fins at the back, and the Star Fox team logo is adorned on the sides, just like the Arwing. A large laser turret sits on the front end of the car. *In Star Fox 64, the Landmaster has the ability to launch bombs and use a booster, but lacks these attribute in Star Fox: Assault, though it can still do a shorter boost. In the Main Game mode of "Star Fox 64", the Landmaster tank is only used on two missions. On the red planet Titania, the Landmaster was deployed because of the sandstorms that covered the skies, in the search for Slippy Toad who crashed onto the planet. On Macbeth, Fox needed the Landmaster to closely follow and derail the Forever Train.

In "Assault", the Landmaster has a technicality and aesthetic design update, now having the wheels instead of tank treads. When Fox was quickly surrounded on Katina's Outpost Base by the new and overwhelming Aparoids, the new improved Landmaster was summoned to help hime deal with the threat. But the Great Fox's targeting systems were not entirely accurate enough for desired transmission. On the forever winter planet Fichina, the heavy Landmaster was used in place of the Arwing to drive through the blizzards that made flight unsuitable, however, the tank was too large to fit inside the Climate control center. On Sauria and the Aparoid Homeworld, the Landmaster was used in conjunction with the Arwing to allow a strategic switch in vehicle conditions, it was still nevertheless too large to take into the central caves and ruins.
