===Equipment===
Standard equipment includes [[Smoke Launchers]] and a [[searchlight]]. The Razorback can be further upgraded with [[Dozer Blades]], a [[pintle-mounted]] [[storm bolter]], a [[hunter-killer missile]], and [[extra armour]].{{Fn|4}}
===Transport Capacity===
The capacity of the Razorback is reduced compared to the Rhino, and can carry up to 6 Space Marines in [[Power Armour]], though not in [[Terminator Armour]]. The Razorback has the same access points found on the Rhino, however it lacks any fire points due to its turret-mounted weapon. Devastator marines in particular favor the use of the Razorback.{{Fn|4}}
===Vortimer Pattern Razorback===
The '''Vortimer Pattern Razorback''' is a variant used by the [[Grey Knights]]. It mounts [[twin-linked]] [[Psycannon]]s and only a few exist in the Chapter's service. These vehicles were personally constructed by Master Armourer [[Regis Vortimer]] himself and were for the [[Deliverance of Vulgate]].{{Fn|6a}}

===Infernum Pattern Razorback===
It is believed that [[Techmarine]]s of the [[Fire Hawks]] [[Chapter]] formulated a means of overcoming the power feed issue and first used the new vehicle variant during the [[Badab War]], where this advanced type of Razorback was used to smash through enemy fortifications and deliver squads directly through the breachwith its [[Multi-Melta]]. The New variant was named '''Infernum Pattern Razorback'''.{{Fn|6b}}[[Image:RazorbackMelta.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Infernum Pattern Razorback with [[Multi-Melta]] ]] ===Razorback Rikarius===The '''Razorback Rikarius''' is a Razorback variant used by the [[Blood Angels]] and others. It was first developed in [[M37]], when a resurgence of [[Ork]] forces in the Aurelian System prompted commanders to produce a tank that could eliminate vast amounts of infantry. The resulting vehicle was named after [[Yriel Rikarius]], the Blood Ravens 2nd Captain at the time who had connections to the [[Magos|High Magos]] [[M'Lell]] of [[Mars]]. M'Lell ensured the revised Razorback [[STC]] was quickly fabricated and put into service alongside the embattled Blood Ravens. Sacrificing transport capacity to mount a variety of weapons such as twin-linked [[Assault Cannon]]s and two [[Hurricane Bolter]]s, squadrons of these vehicles have since served many other Space Marine Chapters. In the intervening centuries their numbers have dwindled and the STC lost, which has resulted in the surviving vehicles being treated as relics.{{Fn|7}}[[Image:RazorbackRikarius.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Razorback Rikarius{{Fn|7}}]]
