| rdfs:comment | - AW-12 Mastodon is an GDI quadrupedal assult walker used during the Ascension Conflict.
- The Mastodon eschews its predecessor's large experimental railguns for a powerful, but also less expensive, chin-mounted "Tusk" artillery battery. The battery can fire four sonic shells in rapid succession to destroy targets in its line of fire, achieving a similar effect to the railguns. The reduced cost allows multiple Mastodons to be deployed simultaneously in a given area. Groups of Mastodons are referred to as "herds". The Mastodon's legs are also armored against charges' flechette shrapnel.

| abstract | - AW-12 Mastodon is an GDI quadrupedal assult walker used during the Ascension Conflict.
- The Mastodon eschews its predecessor's large experimental railguns for a powerful, but also less expensive, chin-mounted "Tusk" artillery battery. The battery can fire four sonic shells in rapid succession to destroy targets in its line of fire, achieving a similar effect to the railguns. The reduced cost allows multiple Mastodons to be deployed simultaneously in a given area. Groups of Mastodons are referred to as "herds". The Mastodon's legs are also armored against charges' flechette shrapnel. Secondary armament consists of a pair of anti-surface/anti-air missile launchers and the Depth Charge Emergency Ejection System. The Depth Charge system dropped explosive charges from the walker's flanks to repel close-quarter assaults, compensating for the artillery battery's forward-only firing arc. The "Depth Charge" system was a later development and were still being retrofitted to older production units at the time of the Fourth Tiberium War. The Mastodon Backup System is a Nod-derived nanotech repair module. The module activates after the walker suffers catastrophic system failure and slowly repairs the vehicle; the module can bring a Mastodon back online if an engineer is unavailable.
