With proper budget secured from the Saekari, a total of two prototypes were developed before the official adoption in 1980, both armed with the same 120mm smoothbore gun which was designed, and produced by Reingiker Heavy Ordnance along with the ammunitions. Work began on the first prototype around December of 1975, and was finished in late 1977. Trials, and tests were conducted in the subsequent months before a final conclusion was made, and the development of a second prototype authorized. Thus, the development of the second prototype (TAK-X-2) began in early 1978 until it was completed later that same year. Testing and design modifications such as improvements to the turret and half modular type ceramic composite armor were also conducted starting in October 1978, and continued until April of 1979 when a final model was reviewed and officially adopted by the Realm Defence Forces in October, awaiting its first manufacturing run in Q1 of 1980.
