The Story

Earth is under seige from an alien threat. Huge genetically enhanced insects rampage across the planet. Man tries to fight back but hopes of success all but fade when their crack team is captured by the alien hordes. Desperate and out of time, a group of 10 men and women break away from their unit and form their own. Using vehicle remains from previous battles the group construct their own vehicles and weapons to counter attack the alien invaders in an attempt to crush their forces and strike at the heart of their very own homeworld. The unit was codenamed TANX.
