The '''MHI Amphibious APC''' is a light [[Combat Vehicle]]; it was designed as an amphibious [[infantry]] transport for planetary militia and other secondary forces.  Designed by Michaelson Heavy Industries, the vehicle was conceived as part of the company's efforts to cash in to the post-[[Jihad]] era of militaries fully transiting to using more [[Combined Arms]]. The MHI Amphibious APC was produced in plants found on the worlds of [[Terra]], [[June]], and [[Ruchbah]] for a number of factions.

Designed as an infantry carrier, its main feature is its Infantry Compartment. While passengers are not intended to remain aboard it for long durations, its 8 ton capacity allows it to be flexible in transporting modest-sized Infantry formations. The vehicle's standard 155-rated [[fusion engine]], gives it decent speed to allow its crews to steer the vehicle away from the front lines.  The 8-tons of armor is sufficient to keep the crew and its passengers safe from most incoming fire. The vehicle's other significant feature is its Amphibious capabilities, able to move anywhere in the water.

With its only defensive/offensive weaponry being its Diverse Optics Extended Range Medium Laser, the vehicle must rely on escorts and its infantry complement for additional protection.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 18–19, 71: MHI Amphibious APC - Stats</ref>

*; Diggs Drone Control Tank : Created by [[The Republic of the Sphere]] this variant of the MHI Amphibious APC sacrifices the infantry bay for a larger [[Light Fusion]] engine, allowing it to reach a top speed of 96 km/h. It retains the ER Medium Laser and actually increases armament by adding a pair of [[Light Machine Gun]]s to the turret. The tank is protected by seven and a half tons of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor and an [[Angel ECM Suite]]. The [[Full Amphibious Equipment]] is also present. The most deadly feature is the [[Drone Carrier Control System]] that allows operators to control four drone 'Mechs or vehicles like the ''[[Revenant (BattleMech)|Revenant]]''.
