Bulldozers. Zigzagged.

It is a civilian equipment, but the front blade is bulletproof by its own nature, and it is built to be rugged like a tank. To be used as an earth mover in the mid of a warzone, it just needs bulletproof windows and some sort of grille to force Rocket Propelled Grenades shot against it to explode before hitting flat surfaces, and you got yourself a tool of peace that can be used in the middle of a warzone.

No tank was ever converted back into civilian use, because you'd get a bulldozer if you did that. Compare to Weaponized Tropes https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeaponizedTropes.

Maybe not any already built tank, but the Soviets built plenty of civilian heavy vehicles on tank chassis.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.
