Hoo-RAH Marines! Our AAVP7 is the largest transport in the entire goddamn game. Capable of carrying a full 7 infantry teams into battle, more than twice that of any other tracked personnel carrier. It also has the strongest frontal armor of any transport, tied with the M113 at an armor rating of 3 (in fact its more like an overgrown M113 than we would care to admit). AAVP7 is armed with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher and a coaxial M3 .50cal, which also doubles as an AA MG.
Marine Rifle Platoons get 2 of the amphibious monsters, which with a combined max occupancy of 14 is fully capable of transporting the entire unit. This lethal combo will cost you 6 points at minimum strength, 9 points at with out any additional weapons teams and a max of 14 points with all the fixins.
IRL
The AAVP7 "Amtrak" is the US Marines Corps' current Armored Personnel Carrier. Fully amphibious and capable of carrying 21 troops, it suits the Marine's modus operandi quite well as it delivers troops from ship to shore in relative protection. That said, they don't provide quite as much protection as the M2 Bradley, as they sacrifice some armor for buoyancy.
