Cool!

Great M-Tron version of that old set! The bridge works really well, and I like how you made the crane on the back

[Missing Brick]

Great vehicle and remake concept.

WOW! This one really got me - it surely has that original LEGO M-Tron feel to it, I can imagine this as their actual M-tron set (pity it wasn't - I 'd buy it immediately!)

+ I especially like that you also included some modularity (detachable front rocket)

Really nice terrain and vehicle and neat that the vehicle has a spaceship feature too, can't spot anything I dislike

[LegoMathijs]

Thanks for the nice compliments! It was very fun to build

Nice built again, Mathijs.

Nice colors in the landscape.

I love that vehicle. The crane looks good.

The vehicle reminds me a bit of 6933 of the Blacktron II.

Great work.

What a great idea. The mash up is well done. I really like how the front detaches in a very M-tron way.

[Spirit]

Oh, I like this, I really like this !

[Only Sinner]

Wow, great homage to the original set, and what a fine vehicle, too!

I Like to build modular functions in my Space vehicles. It gives more playability to a model.

Me like it. Amazon crossing is my favourite set. M tron is my fav faction what else can there be!

I really like what you have done here. Really cool vehicle and scene, the two go perfectly. You also nailed the M:Tron colors real well.

Great idea ...I like the green tentacle protruding from the water!

[RoastPotato]

Love the concept. Really nicely done

[Umbra-Manis]

Awesome concept! I wish it was a set.
