Database Entry

 * Imagine a standard Thorton Mackinaw: solid, stable. Now imagine it was tuned in the devil's autoshop in the bowels of hell: you have the Beast. This car is faster than the base model and comes equipped with racing suspension and a roaring engine that puts the factory version to shame. The jetblack paint job could make a nun faint in fear.

Specifications
The "Beast" is a dually truck, meaning that there are two tires placed at each side of the truck's rear. Bolt-on fender flares cover the wheels and Rotoria OOF3 tires. It is a heavily armored vehicle, with ballistic armor covering both the grill and hood. The front fenders and front headlights remain unprotected. There is a large tow hook under each headlight. The front fenders are not armored, and the driver's side fender contains the CHOOH2 gas cap.

A skid plate protects the engine, and mounted next to the plate on each side are four LED lamps for off-roading (with covers on). Front suspension includes two shock absorbers per wheel, one being a coil-over and the other being a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly.

At the rear, it has its pickup bed, which has been modified with a roll bar. Inside the bed is a light machinegun and a spare wheel and tire assembly. There is also a locking storage chest placed at the back of the bed to be used as a trunk, with two more tow hooks placed below the lower lip of the rear.

Its doors are protected with bolted-on armor plates. The rear passenger side door is fully covered with armor and the door latches are covered. Inside the "Beast", there are several carbon fiber features, including carbon fiber seats. The interior features a roll cage and an escape hatch that leads out of the vehicle from its roof. The rear passenger side seat has been replaced with an apparatus that is covered in diamond plate.

Acquisition
The "Beast" is rewarded at the end of The Beast In Me if you follow Peter Sampson outside of the race.
