"Excellent. How is the cargo?” "Computer says it's still stable, but you can never tell with Big Sal's inventions." "There I see the summit, and the Octan beacon!” "And vegetation!. Must be surviving by the geothermal heat melting the snow." "Which also helps keep our path clear, though it still looks a bit steep! You take the controls, I'll go hook up the winch.” "This should do!" "Or not!?!" "Lets see how sturdy Octan engineering is?" "That's better." "We should check in with Sal. Opening comms channel" "Ah, Moose, Thorne, how is my little exspyriment coming along?" "As well as your puns Sal! now what are they deployment parameters for these charges?” "Erm, you toss them in the Lava, then run away...." "That's it?!" "How long do we have to run away?” "Oh you should have ample time. Each charge is a self sustaining awesomnium fission core protected by an calibrated force field which should withstand the heat for some time before going critical. Although of course you will be the first to test it outside the lab." "This does seem awfully risky, can't we just cut down the beacon? "Oh no, that wouldn't do, then it would be clear it was sabotage. No, creating our own natural disaster is much simpler." Oh well, here goes.” "Erm, should it be bubbling quite so much?” "Hmm, interesting. I might suggest running away somewhat more quickly!" "Kat! go go go!” "Hold on tight!" "Kat! go go go!” "Ah, a resounding success!" "Next time Sal, you can do this yourself!” 3-view of the MANTIS tracked research vehicle: The cockpit: And the back, complete with camping stove, so you can have larvae Friday even when on the move: Edited January 31, 2016 by woofmcmoose Quote
woofmcmoose Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Title was supposed to be "Fire and Ice" if a mod would be so kind....sorry! Quote
Orange Leader Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 The terain looks pretty neat. The MANTIS Tracked Research Vehicle has a cool compact design and using tracks is a huge plus! Quote
Kodan Black Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 There is a lot to like here! The vehicle is well built and suited for the mission, the terrain is very well done, but the "action" shots are the real winner! Love the various effects you achieved! Quote
StarHawk3 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Sweet tracked vehicle. It's always good to bring some extra larvae with you on any mission. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Great vehicle! The slope is impressive! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Excellent scenes here. Poor moose is always messing up. It seems to work out. The tracked tank is really awesome! Quote
Isundir Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I have to say I love how chubby the vehicle seems, just the right proportions. Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 That vehicle is great! Really like its bulk and the shape is spot on! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 The sequential shots of Moose dropping the charge (and the ensuing eruption ) are so good! Nice vehicle, too. Quote
