45. xXx: State of the Union Stealth Tank

Also Appears In: Transformers
Estimated Savings: $500,000-$1 million*

We have the Internet Movie Firearms Database to thank for this one, as they were able to spot the Stealth Tank, which was used in xXx: State of the Union, in the Transformers movie. The Stealth Tank prop vehicle was designed to look like a combination of the German Leopard 2 and American M1 Abrams, both of which are major battle tanks.

The armament configuration of the Stealth Tank is based on a variant of the T-72, with a roof-mounted secondary turret and twin AA guns. The Stealth Tank was custom-built for xXx. Later, it would be modified slightly to become Brawl/Decepticon Devastator in the blockbuster hit Transformers.
