Honestly I think you've done better Robo. I wont say its :boxy: because this sort of vehicle IS :boxy: , not mentioning the original Land Raider.

Things I think you need to work on:

6 ) Replace the wheels with an extra pair or bigger ones, Otherwise the threads look outta place and almost about to tear off the suspension.

7 ) The front armor looks stepped, almost inviting any survivors of its discharge of firepower to climb up and raid the raider with grenades and crap. Make it sloped, also giving another chance against bigger projectiles and making it overall cooler.

8 ) Cover those threads! A well placed shot and BAM! The Behemoth turns into a crawling hunk of metal. At least the frontal ones.

9 ) Has some nice dakka, but those tiny little side guns are begging for an upgrade! Double the trouble or swap them for bigger ones.

Despise those things, the feel and badassness are there, just kick things up a notch. Oh and it was a smooth move putting the boarding ramp on the rear, unless you have some really well armored infantry units, droping regular grunts on the front would be a massacre. Oh wait... Hope I helped :)

The APC is pretty good, but I don't like the exposed treads. Some interior pictures would be good, too. :)

I like it!

even though the threads could be covered a bit more
But IMO the threads in the present condition look like a no frills all terrain vehicle with threads tearing mud up all over.
It has a very unique style and I like it!

don't see what wrong with that except the threads, because me too I've builded an APC once (and i havent yet destroyed it to build something else(and it is so small compared to this)
an this is so much BETTER than almost everything on this forum (except freddy Tigershark SHDT)

Natalya, something should be done about the awesome stuff built and posted in The Armory so these noobs can have a taste of the top builds, yet, without necroing the sub forum. Not saying Robos Behemoth isint cool, just think it needs improvement.

Maybe we should have a forum where mods can put completely awesome stuff, or a thread that serves as an index of ossum creations.

6. I'll be sure to do that.

7. Yea, sure, climb on top of the landraider, with a missile launcher and a bigass cannon waiting to greet you.

8. Thus the spare treads hanging on the front.

Nice, one thing though, extra threads doesn't make it impossible for the enemy to do exactly the same thing again. Keep the replacements but I would highly advise protecting them.

Looking forward to your next upgrade :)

extend treads (and cover them) and you will have kickass troop transport. Don't, and you have a box. on treads. so...

Well, I was actually talking about the"Tryingtogooveraspeedbumpinaridiculouslylowslungsportscarthateverybodylooksintowhenyourstuckinthemiddleoftheroad." problem, but still, I guess the molehill would add extra cover when you are stuck on it, right?
