Visorak Battle Ram
"What is that? It looks like a ram for battering down walls."
"Well, it could be the worst news we've had today... or it may be the answer to all our problems."

Visorak Battle Rams were war machines designed to be pulled by Visorak.
History
Visorak Battle Rams were manufactured on the industrial island of Xia.[1]
When Makuta Teridax ordered Sidorak and Roodaka to occupy Metru Nui, Roodaka organized the transportation of several battle rams to the island city. There, they were used by the Visorak to invade and conquer various areas of Metru Nui.
Toa Hordika Matau and Nokama once hitched a ride underneath one of these battle rams in an attempt to sneak into the Coliseum. They were brought to Roodaka, who examined the ram and then told the Visorak to burn it, pointing out that it was damaged. Upon arriving at the furnace, Matau created a tornado to bring him and Nokama to safety, crashing the battle ram and its Visorak drivers in the process.[2]
Features
Each Visorak Battle Ram possessed a powerful battering ram, which was used to forcefully break into fortified establishments. Battle Rams were incapable of independent movement, and were instead pulled by a number of Visorak. The ram is designed with the resemblence of a giant Rahi in order to scare opponents.[3]
Each ram also had a catapult, which were used to launch giant, flaming boulders.
