Alpha-113 Assault Tank

[Captain Nomouth]

I was bored yesterday so I made this tank:


Alpha-113 isn't what I really call it. I was thinking more along the lines of "Banana Slug Assault Tank"


It comfortably seats up to five minifigs:


So what do you think?

[Moronstudios]

It's amazing, I can't say what I like best.

[piltogg]

wow, an actual use for bionicle parts i aplaud thee

[__Nero__]

cool! It doubles as an APC and an attack tank!

[Captain Nomouth]

What's an APC?

[Olothontor]

Very nice. I'm thinking my favorite part of that would be the minigun on the front. Stats? k thanx!

[Carrnevil9]

APC- Armored Personnel Carrier.. or something of that nature. It's like a van that you haul people with if you don't want those people being filled with all kinds of nasty holes. *Checks wikipedia* Also stands for Armor Piercing Capped, which would happen to be something of an opposite of the Carrier.

(Dunno if I'm more of a fool for answering these questions or waiting for them to be asked...)

[Captain Nomouth]

Yes, I think this would work alot better as an APC.

[Bonn-o-Tron]

My 2 cents: with all that room on the top, you could possibly build a detachable missile launcher (or turret). It would only add to the destruction capabilities and bad-assery of the tank. As I mentioned, I would make it detachable because it would add a considerable amount of CP, so it would be left to the users discretion whether or not to have the ability, at the downside of more CP.

[Olothontor]

Detachable things are always best. I do that in Warhammer 40K as well, using these amazingly strong magnets from thinkgeek. I attach one to the arm socket, and then the others to the fifteen different weapon choices I have for my Crisis Suits. This way, I can choose based on how many points I have in the battle and what exactly I'm up against. Okay, so the last one's cheating a bit, but that's part of the reason why knowing is half the battle.

...Right?

with it's current armament, it's technically an assault gun. an assault gun is a tank, but without a rotating turret.

regardless, i like it. i especially like the side skirt armor. the bionicle pieces meld very nicely with the tank treads, which is tough to do. although i will admit, i've found plenty of uses for bionicle pieces. i've got a droid specifically designed to flip tanks over that has a gripping device made of some bionicle swords, and a boat that uses some other swords as pontoon-type thingies.
