Aggressor Class Main Battle Tank.

[Doctor Sinister]

Following my construction of the Triumph Class LAVs, I decided Tabletown needed something heavier to engage the enemy forces of BestLockLand, and so here we are!

This is the Sinister Industries Aggressor Class MBT (Main Battle Tank). Weighing in at 65 metric tons, the Aggressor is designed for one purpose and one purpose alone- to dominate any battlefield by engaging and destroying enemy armour. It performs this task superbly, and can even be used for secondary tasks, such is its versatility, but more of that later...

Yes, again I'm using parts almost exclusively from set 7992 - the Container Stacker. Well, I like the green! This time, I've used pieces from two of those sets, plus a sprinkling of other bits for the usual greebling etc. I actually took apart two of my Triumph LAV's to build this monster - but don't worry, the parts are on order to restore my LAV Platoon to its full strength of four vehicles very soon.

As you can see from the picture below, the Aggressor hugs the ground very tightly, but it has variable-height suspension to cope with bumpy rides.

The Aggressor is equipped with a single 200-megajoule electro-magnetic rail gun capable of engaging targets with accuracy over a distance of up to five miles (assuming the target is visible of course). The gun features a central core which handles any recoil within the main housing and which can be swapped out for a new core in a matter of minutes by skilled engineers, although this is obviously not possible in the field.

The Aggressor features a heavy-duty turret mounted on a low-chassis and carries thick armour resistant to most types of modern projectile. The Aggressor is sealed against all NBC threats, although in the case of this MBT, crewmembers would only be able to survive for up to three days on board as the Aggressor's hungry power systems would soon deplete its batteries and fuel supply. The Aggressor can also ford rivers and operate for brief periods underwater.

Please go here and here for more details!

100% custom - although in the back of my mind I had the vague shape of an Abrams...but mainly I wanted to keep the same style as the Triumph.

Dr. S.

Fully custom!! 8-

>:-) Excellent....

Thanks! *wub*

A very nice and detailed tank with an impressive gun and a cool turret! *y*

[iamded]

Awesome! Now you can really kick those Bestlock guy's bricks! My only gripe is the turret points a tad upwards. Good for long distance, but not really for short or medium. 8-| Still, it's really cool, the front is sweet, and greebles are neat, and it's just an over-all great tank! *y* *y*

Tabletown ON!

Bestlock OFF!

~Peace

I'm starting to doubt your claims of defense. 8-| All these new purchases... what is planned next? Eitherway, this is beautiful. It makes me want to buy another two stakers and make one myself. :-D You have put those angle pieces to great use too. I do warn you though; if I see these on the streets on Sinnerton I will be releasing the ill-tempered mutant walruses... ;-)

It's big, it's green, and it's beautiful *wub* Fantastic job!

If you remove a single 1x2 plate the gun will go down, but I couldn't decide what looked better, pointing up a little or pointing down a little. :-D

Dr. S.

[iamded]

Hmm, I guess it would be better pointing up then. If only there was one way to make the joint tighter. 8-|

It does use a lot of pieces from 7992 but there are a lot of other odds and ends in there as well, more so than were used in the Triumph. For example, you'll need to have a reasonable supply of green plates of varying sizes as that's how the hull levels are built up. Nothing too exotic though.

Fixed! Change it to a tile instead of a plate and the gun sits dead level! *y*

I've built an APC as well now, similar design, but I'm not currently 100% happy with it. I may post pictures later, I'm not sure...I may sleep on it.
