{{IntWik|Destination=Predator}}
The '''Predator''' is a [[battle tank|tank]] employed by the [[Space Marine]]s. It is a more heavily armed and armoured version of the Space Marine [[Rhino]] personnel carrier. Like the Rhino, the Predator is an [[STC]] vehicle. It is constructed on [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Forge World|forge worlds]] for use by Space Marines and other [[Imperial ]] forces. The Predator has three main weapon systems: a turret-mounted heavy weapon and two sponson weapons.
There are two major patterns of Predator, each differing essentially in their specific weaponry. Besides the two common patterns, the [[Blood Angels]] and their successor chapters employ the assault oriented [[Baal Predator]].
==Predator Destructor==
==Predator Annihilator==
The '''Predator Annihilator''' is the second of the two major patterns. Its primary turret-mounted weapon are [[twin-linked]] lascannons. Its side sponson weapons are either [[heavy bolter]]s or lascannons, depending on the choice of anti-vehicle or anti-infantry configuration.
==Upgrades==
Both patterns can be equipped with a pintle-mounted [[storm bolter]] as well as with a [[Dozer Blade]], [[Extra Armour]], [[Hunter-killer Missile]], [[Power of the Machine Spirit]], [[Searchlight]] and [[Smoke Launcher]]s.
