The Amerigo - Explorien Support Frame

Post by Zahru II » Sun Jan 25, 2015 8:41 am

While the Exploriens are primarily interested in exploration and xenoarcheology, they are not naive enough to not realize that many dangers that lurk in outer space, be it hostile wildlife or other groups with conflicting interests. The Amerigo acts as a dual-purpose unit: in mech mode, it's strong enough to pick up and lift heavy objects. In vehicle mode, the Amerigo converts into a medium hovertank, with a powerful railgun as its main cannon. The unit's pilot can also disengage in a small separate hover unit as a means of escape or for exploration purposes.

This is amazing. I am really impressed with your mech transforming abilities.

Proportions of the mech are great, and I like the way the cockpit glass gives a blue glow down onto the pilot.

I haven't seen Exploriens in so long. I miss them.

I think Zahru ought to get in with the people who do the "what you can also build with pieces from this set" pictures on the reverse of instructions/ boxes.
