The armored car is a war machine developed by Leonardo da Vinci, usable in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. A precursor to the modern tank, Leonardo's armored car invention was capable of moving in any direction and was equipped with a large number of weapons. It was designed to intimidate and scatter an opposing army. Da Vinci's vehicle has a number of light cannons arranged on a circular platform with wheels that allow for 360-degree range. The platform is covered by a large protected cover reinforced with metal plates, which are slanted to better deflect enemy fire. There is a sighting turret on top to coordinate the firing of cannons and steering of the vehicle.
In 1503, Leonardo's designs for the tank had been stolen by Cesare Borgia and he tasked Ezio Auditore da Firenze with finding the plans and destroying them. Ezio then traveled to Monte Circeo, southeast of Rome. Ezio had to follow an engineer without being detected; once the engineer entered the factory where the weapons were being produced, Ezio found a secret entrance and interrogated the engineer, who told Ezio of the armoured car design copies and the captured soldiers. Ezio found the design copies, burnt them, then found the three captured Mercenaries. Ezio kills the Patrol Guard and frees the Mercenaries. They are than ambushed by a group of guards. Ezio and the Mercenaries easily overpower the guards and find the armoured car. Ezio uses the machine to his advantage, by destroying the factory and stopping the weapons being produced. Instead of destroying the armoured car Ezio decided to keep it as a weapon for the Assassins.
Trivia
- Though the armoured car appears in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Leonardo was never able to build the war machine, for it had a number of flaws that would prevent it from operating correctly.
- To get 100% Synchronization for this mission Ezio must operate the Tank without getting hit.
