The Mark-2 Sandman series Assault Personnel Carrier, shortly known as M-2 was a armored personnel carrier from Stardoor used by Neutral Alliance and later Lucas's Alliance, this is "assault personnel carrier" that capable to assault infantry as well as troop transport in the Neutral Alliance Armed Force, but it sacrifice their armor to allow them move faster, it easily to get shot by an MBT-21 without any problem. These APC were first saw in Operation Sandman when against Lucian Alliance.

Although their Bushmaster cannon can't punch against MBT-21, it still take down light armor such as M-2 Sabertooth Tank. (Memory of Kagami Rebirth)


Behind the Scene
Background
"Rule Number 1 for Sandman, see Infantry, shoot! Number 2, see Tank or cute girl, run! Number 3, if you are no choice, Touched it!"
- An Stardoor General (Memory of Kagami Rebirth)

The M2 series was based on real life APC, BTR-80 which originally was made by Russia, likely that Stardoor command want Chekov back to SDC which allow to sell some these APC as exchange which later prove more powerful than their American version.

In Memory of Kagami Rebirth, M-2 was based on Ukrainian BTR-4 since the turret's position is back instead of front unlike in Lady White Heart which this version is mix with LAV-25 reconnaissance vehicle and seem faster than Lady White Heart.

Trivia
- M2 often to called as Assault Personnel Carrier more than Armored Personnel Carrier because they was design for assault more than carry some heavily armored.
