ClearHorizon Minis - Drop-Capable SpecOps Buggy

[Mr. Harold]

Hi everyone,

While i'm still waiting for the VTOL final castings to come in, the sculptor has sent over a rough mock-up of the buggy. We're still working on the details, but I've very happy on how it's looking so far. As you can see, the raven can fit it in the back.

We're still working on where the weapons will go. I was thinking the squares on the back "pop-up" with a missile launcher, or something similar.

Thoughts?











the sculptor is going to work on the following:

1) Seated Hell Divers in the front, the driver and remote weapon operator

2) Two different roof options, a roll bar style and a fully enclosed style

2) Two weapon options, a minigun remote turret and a missile launcher remote turret.


We're thinking RAT for the name, Recon Assault Transport.

Nicknames could include:

"Pinkie"
"Orbit Rat"
"Desert Rat"

etc.

Thanks for all your feedback!

Love it! You could easily put a remote turret on the rear...think the old GI Joe VAMP. Have an option for missile pods, maybe a railgun, maybe a plasma gun. Needs a roll cage or roll bar, maybe with some lights.

It looks excellent so far. How much clearance have you got between the roof of the loading bay and the car?

Or it could deploy a rear turret like the APC In Aliens sort of folded back when in transit but when deployed it rolls up on top.

Could also put a plasma SAW on the passenger's side like this Spec Ops buggy. Are you going to be doing drivers/riders?

Great idea with the side weapon there!

I just sent a note to my sculptor to see if he could keep the rear seats in, but fill them up with stowage and such, and put a gun mounted like that for the passenger....
