== Description ==
The '''Tonbo''' superheavy transport [[VTOL]] was originally a top secret [[Draconis Combine]] vehicle intended for use in salvage operations on liberated [[Clan]]-occupied worlds in [[3059]].  The vehicle came into being due to the Draconis Combine's directive to build a vehicle capable of moving Clan equipment salvaged for [[Operation Bulldog]]. Working from a modified ''[[Rose (DropShip class)|Rose]]'' DropShip, the ''Tonbo'' was used in company-sized formations during Bulldog.  A company of Tonbos was able to carry away a large quantity of salvage. The vehicle's existence, along with that of its associated [[Maruhanabachi]] carrier airship,<ref>''Technical Readout: Irregulars'', p. 10: "Maruhanabachi Carrier Airship"</ref> would linger in rumor for decades until [[Operation SCOUR]], during the liberation of [[Terra]] in [[3078]]. The vehicle's existence to the rest of Inner Sphere was revealed and shown to great effect during the European campaign.  After the [[Jihad]], the vehicle was offered to the public for sale, becoming one of Wakazashi's best-selling products by [[3085]].<ref name="TRO:3085p52"/>
