Transport vehicles, planes, and vessels, whether on land, sea, air or space are valued for their roomy cargo bays, large loading doors, and powerful lifting and hauling engines, but they have a well-known list of weaknesses. They are slow, weaponless, and altogether quite vulnerable. But what if you could fix those little issues? In comes this trope: a humble battlefield bus, troop carrier, cargo truck/plane turned into a substitute front-line tank, gun truck, or gunship by adding armor, firing ports, missile pods and More Dakka, like Gatling Good. And it can still drop off its passengers and heavy cargo most of the time. But who'd want to stick to those roles? Up-armoring and up-arming non-military and miltary transport vehicles is Truth in Television. La Résistance fighters add improvised armor and bolt tripod-mounted heavy machine guns onto civilian trucks because they don't have real military-issue vehicles. Even conventional armies sometimes do improvised up-armoring and up-arming in the field to keep transports safe in war zones. Real Life materials used for up-armoring include scrap metal, plate steel, sandbags, and, since the 2000s, Kevlar. Up-arming is typically done with crew-served weapons such as heavy machine guns or anti-aircraft autocannons, sometimes also with a shield to protect the gunner. |

The Homeworld series has a few examples: Inverted with the Bentusi Exchange: when they're met these ships are simply enormous trading ships whose heavy armor and weapons are simply the result of their technological superiority, but is known that in the past, before the Bentusi decided to disarm themselves, they were used as warships and carried far more powerful weapons, including a Siege Cannons. In Homeworld: Cataclysm, your ship the Kuun-Lan is essentially a large mining ship equipped with some decent but not exceptional mass driver cannons, relying on its embarked fighter complement and the dedicated combat ships it can build for defense against anything larger than fighters. As the game proceeds, however, the Kuun-Lan receives upgrades that include better armor (twice), replacing the original guns with more powerful energy cannons, and mounting a reverse-engineered Siege Cannon, making it the single most formidable ship in the game. Also in Cataclysm the Beast Mothership starts out as the lower section of the Kuun-Lan, infected by the Beast as it was examining a beacon pod containing it and jettisoned in a hurry before it could subvert the entire ship. The Kuun-Lan is forced to retreat, and by the time they encounter the section again it's been extensively modified into a warship, sporting guns similar to the Kuun-Lan, better armor, and, most damningly, an infection beam capable of subverting anything that comes too close, forcing most ships to run until the Kuun-Lan gets the Siege Cannon to work. |

Command & Conquer: Generals/Zero Hour: Technicals are the GLA's transport vehicle. Oddly enough, despite their ramshackle construction, they're the only transport that doesn't kill its passengers on death, presumably because they can simply jump out of the open back before the whole thing goes up in smoke. They can also upgrade their weaponry increasing their strength through wreckage. The American Humvee allows its passengers to fire their weapons through its fireports, turning it into a mobile firebase (it's very fragile). While it starts out with a machine gun, it can also be upgraded to fire missiles as well. Inverted with the Overlord, which starts as a monstrously huge tank that can be upgraded to have a bunker installed on it, allowing infantry to fire while it's moving. |

Then for the Clone Wars CEC came up with the Charger c70 retrofit, turning it into a very capable light frigate and giving the Republic a military fleet almost overnight, along with the Sphyrna-class corvette: another armed transport, even if inspired by an ancient warship model, armed with three laser cannons. The Rebellion would modify the ships with torpedo launchers or additional engines for hit-and-run attacks. In Rogue One one with an additional engine was able to push a disabled Star Destroyer into a fully active Star Destroyer and a hostile space station, destroying all three at once). | |

Schlock Mercenary: The Maxim 39 is technically just a science vessel, but it's got a famously moddable hull and has been outfitted with all the weapons and gadgets its Mad Scientist captain could wish for. The Toughs use it as a support frigate, but it's a very well-armed one. To contrast, Shiplord Srabben is stupid enough to think it's still just a stock support frigate, and assumes that his own fleet of stolen civilian ships with guns glued on will be able to destroy these military warships. | |

Escape Velocity: Override has the Helian, a ship whose description notes that it circumvents laws on civilians owning ships designed for combat by its large cargo bay allowing it to be classified as a courier vessel/light freighter. As '"circumvents'" laws implies, in terms of gameplay coding it is combat-capable enough to be classified as a light warship, and its most common users are planetary militias and renegades (eg. Space Pirates). Lorewise the UE Destroyer originated as a refit of a freighter, although since the Voinian War it has been turned into a model of its own, and the source ship isn't present in-gamenote but will be added with the Cosmic Frontier remaster. Nova has the Auroran Industries Enterprise, the workhorse cargo transport of the Auroran Empire. While the stock variant only has a single FPC turret, it has hardpoints for another turret and 4 forward guns as well as a good amount of armor. The up-gunned Heavily Modified variant and various models of Pirate Enterprise are comparable to a frigate or light cruiser. Given that the Aurorans are Proud Warrior Race Guys, the design was probably meant to be militarized from the start. |

According to Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Zeon's ubiquitous Musai-class cruiser originated as the Arcana-class liner. In a twist, it's implied that it was intended for this trope from the start, as the ship bow is designed from the start to deviate and absorb beam weapon shots, with Zeon building the liners to create a vast fleet under the Federation's nose and being able to have a powerful battlefleet in less than a year once they converted them. | |

Girl Genius: The Corbetite trains are technically just passenger and/or freight trains. But since they're trains running across a continent where law and order frequently doesn't exist once you're more than a kilometer past the nearest town's walls, and the area between communities is filled with war machines and constructs that are either rampaging around deliberately or at random (depending on whether their creator is still around and in control of them), these trains are heavily armed, so that they can safely make it to their next stop on schedule. | |

Mass Effect: The Quarian Migrant Fleet is known to attach armor and weapons to their civilian ships. This is both a means to grant them additional protection and to circumvent Citadel regulations on how many warships the quarians are legally allowed to build. In the third game, virtually the entire Fleet has been rapidly converted into combat-capable ships due to their offensive against the geth... but while this does give them a lot of guns, the converted civilian ships are poorly armored and their crews do not have anything more than cursory training in combat, greatly limiting their effectiveness. | |

There's a few in BattleTech. Where most troop carriers tend towards carrying small missile weapons, machine guns, or the odd light laser/flamethrower, there's a few designs that substitute easily as tanks. The Tyr is a tough, fast Hover Tank that has the benefit of carrying a squad of Power Armor troopers in the back. The Hasek carries heavy armor and a PPC in its turret, making it the equivalent of a light tank. The kicker, however, is the Indra, which carries an infantry team in one end and a fearsome Clan-built ER PPC in the other, providing enough firepower to blow away light 'Mechs and potentially decapitating any 'Mech in a single shot. This is toyed with a bit regarding interstellar travel: while JumpShips are generally regarded as off-limits due to the persistent Lost Technology issues that make them extremely difficult to replace and being a vital part of traveling between star systems, WarShips (that is, JumpShips capable of maneuvering away from the system's star) are always incredibly heavily armed regardless of their intended use, even the transports. | |

The Aftermath expansion for Command & Conquer: Red Alert features the campaign-only Phase Transport, a modification of the APC (a heavily armoured transport armed with a small machine gun). The Phase Transport exchanges most of the transport capability of the APC (it has room for a single infantry unit instead of five) for high-powered rocket launchers and cloaking capability. | |

In the manga version of Venus Wars, the Aphrodian army, seeing how their conventional tanks had been outmatched in the initial Ishtar invasion but the Hound-class war bikes had been effective even against the otherwise invincible Octopus tanks, decides to supplement them with pick-up trucks armed either with anti-aircraft guns (as the bikes were helpless against air attacks) or heavier anti-tank weapons depending on the model. In the Battle of Route 1 the anti-tank variant is easily wiped out due not having the manouverability that allowed the Hounds to survive, while the anti-aircraft one is wiped out by an Ishtar surprise air attack but managed to inflict heavy losses in the process. | |

In season 9 of Ninjago, Nya builds a tank to protect them from the Sons of Garmadon. It's heavily armored enough to survive any attack it takes and smash through walls, but it doesn't have much in the way of speed or maneuverability.

Warhammer 40,000: The Land Raider and the Wave Serpent are both transport vehicles that function at least as well as battle tanks. The Raider is also huge, being the only on capable of carrying Terminators in full armor. The vast majority of battle tanks for all sides are modified versions of that faction's main transport vehicle, swapping out their troop carrying capacity for bigger guns. The Chimera is technically purchased as a transport vehicle for Imperial Guard squads, but it's really an Infantry Fighting Vehicle and players tend to use it as a light tank more often than a transport. |

In Ground Control II: Operation Exodus, when properly upgraded, your dropship can be your most powerful weapon on the battlefield thanks to its mobility, firepower, and survivability. Its primary bane is dedicated anti-air units. It also only shows up for a short time before leaving and requires you to actually order some reinforcements to appear. This is in contrast to the first game's dropships, which are purely unarmed transports. | |

PlanetSide 2 has the Sunderer, a Big Badass Rig Base on Wheels. Normally outfitted only with a pair of mediocre 20mm guns and poor armor but the ability to deploy into a spawn point and carry 12 people, it can be outfitted with automatic grenade launchers, heavy armor, and an engine that lets it outrun the game's Cool Bike, all without affecting its spawning ability or carrying capacity. This "Battle Bus" is a terrifying enemy, being a Lightning Bruiser with the capacity to vomit out a dozen people in MAX Powered Armor. The original game also had the Deliverer armored truck and its empire-specific derivatives, which carried less armor but was more agile and amphibious. | |

The Cybrans can stick a T2 Mobile Stealth Field Generator with the LAB's to make it impossible to shoot down early without Omni-Sensors. In Forged Alliance,the UEF gets a T3 Dropship with a self-projected shield to jack survivability. The in-house term is "Ghetto Gunship" | |
