A masterful welder from his many years of repairing vehicles and building customizations for snowmobiles, Marvin began to utilize his skills for a secret project.  Slowly, over the course of a year and a half, he modified an enormous Komatsu D355A bulldozer, which weighs in at nearly 50 tons (pre-armor).  Using steel plates and concrete, and toiling for months in a storage building, Marvin created his engineering marvel, the likes of which had never been seen before.  As his project neared completion, so too did his end-of-life planning – he’d given away his home, his money, and his assets.  All that was left was him and his dozer, which he called the MK Tank.

June 4, 2004 would become a day that would live in infamy, as Marvin climbed inside and began a several hour-long rampage where he destroyed the neighboring concrete plant (which had been the main source of his long-festering anger), the town hall and police headquarters, the bank, the local newspaper, the house of the town’s former mayor, a hardware store, parked cars, and more.  It was an extremely targeted attack – Marvin had a personal problem with someone at each building he destroyed.   Neighboring buildings were left completely unscathed while others were razed to the ground, as if a tornado had come through.

The machine itself is beyond comprehension.  Among all the metal and concrete, welded together so meticulously there was no apparent entryway when looking at in from the outside, Marvin had outfitted the dozer with small view ports and cameras to see out.  He even went so far as to install tiny hoses connected to compressed air, so he could blow dust away from the bulletproof glass over the cameras because he knew there his vision would become obstructed from the falling debris of the buildings he planned to destroy.  He had, seemingly, thought of everything, and built his machine accordingly.  It was impervious to the many methods police and members of the community used in vain attempts to stop it, from high-powered ammunition, oxygen in an attempt to hyper-rev the engine, explosives dropped into the exhaust or discharged against its side, and massive heavy machinery to combat it like gigantic battle bots. 

The footage from the rampage is incredible and looks like something out of a movie. You can watch Marvin navigate his monstrous homemade tank right into huge buildings, with walls of bricks raining down on the dozer.  But it was built so sturdily that even after being buried by a collapsed building, it would simply back up, its treads squeaking and squealing, then lurch forward again for another hit.
