Less an ultraheavy Tank and more a design made for being an implacable assault vehicle, the Earthbreaker is designed for extreme firepower at range with ammo-fed weapons in all variants. Due to the extreme size and cost, the Earthbreaker also has the dubious honor of being made to order, with the presence of an Earthbreaker all but unheard of outside of extremely well-defended bases, where the Earthbreaker's firepower can be moved to other locations where defenses may, or have, been breached.
Version 1
The current rumor around many locations is that the Earthbreaker SPF-V1 was produced solely to give Defiance Industries a place to put all of their spare Ultra AC/20s for safekeeping. While the actual accuracy of this statement is dubious at best, the obscene firepower of the Earthbreaker SPF-V1 is sure to quiet nay-sayers... By deafening them. And likely sundering any and all forces they bring into the small parking lot this machine is hiding in, thanks to ECM.
Oh, and as a side note; "At Range" doesn't necessarily mean long range.

Version 2
Do you like expensive LRM spam to be mobile in your base, with enough long-range missiles crammed on to make a Kraken 3 blush and maybe poop a little in terror? Well, look no further than the V2. Mounting a staggering 8 LRM-20 Launchers, making for a total of 160 tubes firing and recycling every 10 or so seconds. Oh, and we added C3 Slave, so that your turret can take advantage of the C3 Remote Launcher munitions you surely had a scout VTOL fire around the perimeter earlier, right?
Oh, and do be sure to have a munitions truck or three follow this thing around. Thanks to a well-designed mechanism (The fast reload quirk), the Earthbreaker V2's ammo can be restored quickly, but that two minutes of fire may get spent pretty quickly. And once that's gone, the Earthbreaker V2's existence is more of 175 tons of paperweight than an actually effective fighting vehicle.
Rumor has it that the three designs ordered by the Kell Hounds and Wolf-In-Exiles had the LRM-20 racks replaced with 16 Clanspec LRM-20s once they arrived. While we here at Overengineer Enterprises don't normally condone such modifications, the holovid footage of some 320 missiles hitting a Wolf Empire Tomahawk II in ten seconds was one of the most entertaining things seen this side of Solaris.
As a sidenote, the Earthbreaker SPF-V2-IIC is now available for purchase to enterprising defense coordinators who have more money to burn and a lot of enemies.

Version 3
For suicidally defensive units, where four head-cap capable shots wait until guns go dry and the engine can be detonated. On occassion, the MG ammo of this unit is halved in order to mount a C3 Slave; While such custom ordering is normally frowned upon by OE, the popularity of the C3S alteration allows for some extra wiggle room for production-level reproductions of that field refit.
(Note;An alternate, less insane, version of the V3 exists, which replaces the booby trap for yet another Gauss Rifle.)
