[ MOC ] T-1000 Soviet Transformer

[cyberdyne systems]

Good news, everyone!

From the second attempt, but I finally managed to create this monster from the past. 

So, T-1000, also known as TET - Turbo-Electric Tractor, was originally created in Soviet Union in the 70s. 

 

 

It has manually operated hood and simple door lock. 

And the most important and gorgeous function - Transformation!

 

Yes, this unique tractor can be both wheeled and tracked! When tracks are unfolded, driver's chair turns aside to provide comfortable working conditions.

All fuctions that are RC:

-wheeled driving - L

-tracked driving - 2XL

-transformation - 3L

-fake engine - M

-steering - M

-foldable plow - L

Just for demonstration I've made a simple plow, which can be attached to the rear hook for transportation or to the side hook for working position.

Plow's L-motor connects to the tractor's IR reciever and then it's folding can be RC operated as well.

 

Video as always is here:

  Thanks for watching. I hope, you liked it.

P.S. What do you think, what was the purpose for which this tractor was created by soviet engineers?

I am a bit jealous. I've been searching for unique Soviet designs on the internet for years. But I have not seen this vehicle yet. Fantastic design and a well-made model. Soviet engineers made a lot of vehicles with unique off-road capabilities. Because of the huge spaces of the Soviet Union. And poor road infreststructure. Some of them also had dual civilian and military uses. A few months ago I made another vehicle of this type.

Very original MOC. Since I'm (technologically more influenced with "western" technology) I didn't know that something like this exist. On other side it is very special MOC and it looks that it has high playability level

Thanks a lot! By the way, your MOC is one of the few things that gave an inspiration for my work. Also I think, we should call such tracked/wheeled things  - TruckTors

Ha ha, only the Russians could think of this - love it! You've done a great job implementing it. The rotating driver seat is a nice touch.
