The Tripods are the armored units used by the Extraterrestrials in their invasion of Earth. They are a multipurpose unit with shields, weapons, the equipment needed to turn people into fertilizer and possibly the tech base to make major genetic modifications to plants as part of their attempt to teraform the Earth.
It is likely they are basically operated like a mecha because the Extraterrestrials and Tripods are both three limbed, three fingered things.

Armor
Survives a lot of anti-tank rocket fire from Javelin and Carl Gustav launchers.
