While you can use the USB missile launchers to defend your cube, what about those times when you need to go on the offense? When you just have to get back at your coworker for eating the last slice of pizza, you need a weapon that's maneuverable, fast, and armed to the teeth to get your point across, and that's where the Remote Controlled Battle Tank comes in.

The tank is a scale model of a Japanese Model S90, and can be armed with up to 40 pellets at once for maximum firepower. Using its all-tread suspension system, the tank can climb even the most rugged pile of paperwork. The turret and the tank are both completely controlled with the R/C controller, and can be fired remotely once the tank is in position. The tank can freely move forwards, backwards, spin in circles, roll at two speeds, and can fire while in motion. The tank's turret has a 320-degree side-to-side range, can be aimed 20-degrees up or down, and can also be fired in rapid succession or one at a time. It comes with rechargeable battery packs for both the tank and the controller, a little soldier to run over, a cardboard target for practice, and even a book of stickers to decorate the tank.

The tank might sound like a lot of fun, but be careful; the pellets are fired at high velocity and can fly up to 25 meters, so it's not a toy for kids-this one's just for us grown-ups with a grudge against the person in the next cube over. You can order the R/C battle tank from ThinkGeek for $49.99 for the tank and 100 ammo pellets, and an additional 500 pellets will run you $3.99.
