Uhhh no. Don't drag me into this!

Texman is far from a Canuck...demented yes...but not Canadian.

Although he wears Shorts a lot.
Canadians wear shirts in the middle of winter, so he would fit right in.

Technically that would be INCORRECT!

It is not a Mark 5 anything.
There is no evidence that the "Bank Breaker" wasn't an original design of the Fantom's.
...and there's nothing suggesting* it was the Fantom's fifth version of his own design.
(*as far as I know)

Considering the movie is set in 1899...19 years before the British deployed their MkV, how could it be?.
Not to mention, the movie is set in an alternate reality/timeline.

There are numerous physical differences too...like the central forward mounted cannon and ramming Hull.

This is also one of the reasons I stated (after Don's earlier question) that
I had no idea of how the vehicle is powered.
The vehicle doesn't have a mid-mounted engine like a British MkV.
It has an "Engine Room" extension at the rear (containing what type of engine I don't know!)
Could be Nuclear powered for all I know...even Alien tech is mentioned in the original comics.

My point being, this is not a stolen or copied British Tank.
So its technically not a Mark 5 or any version of it.
Its the Fantom's Bank Breaker!

...Neilio gets a partial-Win!

[MichaelS]

Yep! I was right. It's a Cletrak!!

[Neilio]

Woot! Does that mean you’ll partially design my new Koolwheelz request?
