20 tons? That's a lot closer in mass to a semi. My dad's 1965 all-metal Ford weighs only 2 tons.
My suggestion is to go take a look at the Transformers figure Onslaught (re-released last year as Mega-Octane for the Robots in Disguise Transformers line). His vehicle design is a lot closer to the vehicle mass you described- a semi truck with a flatbed trailer that has been partially converted into a weapons platform. Or, the 3025 mentions that some mobile command centers have had their electronics stripped out and have been refitted with drop-down sides; these are used as ambush vehicles.
(Note, however, that Onslaught isn't quite so good an example; his design originally called for some more stuff- most likely detatchable- that would have taken up a good chunk of the room. geocities.com/zobovor's page talking about Metroplex, metroplex.html, mentions more of this.)

While you have a good point, it's kind of hard to make a 2 ton vehicle that actually can carry much of anything use full and note the fluff said dump trucks as well...
The idea is a generic one that can be applied to a vehicle in one shape or fashion...

I just had a thought- there's some personal weapons that can do damage to mechs. Not much damage, but enough to harass.

I toyed around with this some more and so I was wondering has anyone else done anything similar?
