Just use scavs the story would be easy. The CRATE would be accidentaly labelled as broken for some reason and dumped onto one of the RIN trash planets, it is known that lot of scav tribes live on these trash planets. Seeing that the CRATE is one mighty piece of machinery compared to everything else there. The Crate soon already becomes a worshipped got by the Scav tribes who unite under the CRATE's divinity.
The RIN soon realize it was a huge mistake. They send a party to the planet's surface to retrieve the CRATE only to find hordes of Scavs defending it.
Great idea! And my one "native" minifig, a collectable minifig Indian Chief could be their hero.

Expect a forum battle soon.

Can I reserve myself a spot?

That sounds like a really great senario; - it would be a lot of fun to play

Didn't think so. Still worth a shot.

Army update time!

The RIN presents...

THE MX-11 BRAWLER MBT!

Designed for brutish tank-to-tank combat, the Brawler also comes with an anti-infantry flamethrower.

Front view, showing the under-mounted flamethrower.

Side view

The Turret, with the main cannon, which shoots heavy-duty RT sabot rounds. Also, two machine guns, and four MKII missiles.

Also, the Brawler has working suspension.

The inside, which fits three minifigs. From left to right: Commander's chair, gunner's chair, and driver/flamethrower operator's chair. (sorry for blurriness)

A minifig standing next to the Brawler.

So, any C&C? (please note this is my first attempt at a large tank)

The only gripe I have about this Dakka tank is the STuDs.

I don't have enough plates to cover up the studs. Also, thanks! (I guess...)

very nice, the main gun is a little small but I think the tracks and look of it are very impressive.

Thanks! I decided to cover up the whole "small main gun" thing by saying it shoots RT sabot rounds. (Sabot rounds are basically oversized darts, designed to pierce armor and wreak havoc within the tank)

It's a good tank. I can mainly see this being effective against infrantry and hardsuits, motorbikes and karts rather than other tanks or Armored cars.

Actually, this thing towers over small vehicles and infantry. But, in order to fight infantry, it has the flamethrower. Where the main gun and the rest of the turret sits, it's more built to take out tanks, large vehicles, and medium to large mecha.

Okay. To me the turrets looked like a collection of Heavy MG. So you can see where my confusion is.

Nice tank Robo, its basically more like an IFV. One thing though, some pieces seem to be half connected you know? Like, not completely stuck to eachother.

*Facepalm* I really need to get this thing a bigger main gun.

Also, please note that I took picture of the Brawler about five minutes after I finished building it.

Anyway, thanks BFenix!
