Armed warfare always requires the ubiquitous tanks, in order to move into the enemy land, as Tanks protect the soldiers from the other side and allow them to move further into hostile territory. Tanks are thus strong, all weather and completely armored. The funny thing about tanks is that you could find weird and bizarre looking tanks in almost every country.
There is a theory behind it, which observes that the opposite side always gets intimidated when they see a fierce looking tank headed their way. Perhaps there is some grain of truth in that assumption, but we managed to gather a great list of 15 really cool tank designs that are completely weird and bizarre not just in looks, but also in their utility. Of course, many of these tanks are not war-worthy and they are just meant for the purpose of fun.
Cool Tank Mods
Sometimes, things that are not tanks or related to wars could also be modded into something like a tank. Here are a couple of examples.
The Hummer H2 Tank Mod would be a great gift to anyone who loves hummers. It has been created deftly.
The Tank Chair Mod could be given to people who dream about being soldiers but rarely get past the garden. They can place the Tank Chair in the garden and read a book.

Artful Tanks
There is a common belief that art can be used to avert wars. It may not be technically possible to do so, but art has always been a great way to express and popularize anti-war sentiments. Here are some cool tanks that have been expressed through art.
The Colorful Balloons Tank is one helluva tank that might have to be held in place with hands, and if you didn’t it just might fly away! One could spend hours trying to count the number of balloons in it.
Here is the Paper Tank which could hardly hurt a fly and could be a great antiwar messenger. It looks very colorful too!
This Artful Tank might be created by using cardboard. There is hardly any information but it just may suggest that wars are futile and the war machinery should therefore be reduced to art.
This interesting piece of art has been created by using Paper Mache, which is a substance made of paper pulp after it is dried and then painted upon it.

Tanks are of course beautiful vehicles which can be customized, designed and modded in amazing ways. Of course, when used as defense, tanks could be cool. When they are used as aggressive machinery, they are so not cool!
