Posted February 5, 20232 yr Built in January 2023 for the CSE contest as my first Space MOC, keeping with the Ice Planet 2002 color scheme. Dimensions are 39.5 x 36 x 28 studs, in triangular shape and clean-cut rear. The Fractuator can house 3 persons in its 3 cockpits. The top cockpit features the bridge and a rotating seat for the captain. All necessary intel is provided by a fully rotational radar station. The middle cockpit is usually used for resting or sports, whereas from the lower cockpit the Fractuator is steered. Thrust is provided by 2 Duplonia engines. Additionally, the Fractuator houses the Cross-Icicle Crusher, a 12-wheeled land unit featuring 3 seats and clip-ons for 4 tools. The Crusher can be swiveled downward onto land while the Fractuator hovers over the ground, reverse process for picking it back up. Furthermore, the Crusher can carry the Fractuator while driving across land. Skiing equipment can also be stored on the lower wings. Fractuator & Crusher team consists of 6 astronauts (left to right): Commander FlyingGinger, Captain SpaceTina, Researcher Timmy, Explorer May'anida, Scientist Jazzmine Hobblefind, Space Grandpa Jacques.

February 5, 20232 yr Massive MOC, most impressive. The backside looks like you could add more to the craft. And Duplonia engines? Love the reference.
February 6, 20232 yr She is a beast! My favorite sections are how the rover can slot into the ship and deploy. Some impressive Lego engineering there. I have to agree with GeoBrick the back side looks plain and is a literal wall of bricks. I understand the reasoning is because of the shape and keeping within the stud length limit. Overall a lot to love such as the dual cockpits, multi levels, vehicle bay, and command tower. A full playset in a ship!
February 6, 20232 yr Quite the design. Having the rover double as the land mobility system (landing gear too?) is ingenious. Overall, a solid build with great play features. Even Duplo based engines!

Well thank you, it is certainly a behemoth to hold! On 2/5/2023 at 11:51 PM, GeoBrick said: Massive MOC, most impressive. The backside looks like you could add more to the craft.

I was aiming for that triangular look when you see it from above. On 2/6/2023 at 4:33 PM, Feuer Zug said: Quite the design.

I appreciate that feedback. It was actually fun to incorporate that Crusher-insertion system, which works rather swiftly.
