Ok, note that the M1 is 2.9 meters high, 7.9m long, and weights in at about 65 tons, (57,149kg). Its armor is made of 3-5 layers or different types of steel encasing depleted Uranium.
The Rex is 12m tall and 18.9 meters long. It says its armor is classified, but it can be argued that that tank, designed to replace all other tanks, is equipped with the same armor of the Abrams, if not better.
To say this beast weight only 505kg, (the weight of a formula one car) is crazy, this beast weight 550+ tons.
Heck i bet its rail gun weights more then 505kg, and Rail guns are supposed to be mounted on Battleships for the navy.
