RyszardBosiak Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Another project in M-Tron theme. Main goals of this MOC were to build machine for M-Tron guys, vehicle which can ride of different kind of the terrain and can be adapted to lots of different things. Lights which are located in the front, middle and the end (only 'truck' version) of the vehicle, help to be more visible on the tough climate of alien planet. Here we can see two different usages of mainly the same base. One is adapted to be some kind of transporter, which can additionally pull a trailer. Connection between trailer and vehicle has two torsion points to provide better turn. What's more, these points can turn not only left and right, but up and down too. Regarding the trailer. Big wheels - remember we are on alien planet and we need to ride in the very different terrain. Second one is a crane. Basically differences of foundation are small. There are no place for trailer, but there are two stabilizers to provide safe work of crane operator. The very end of crane arm can be switched to something else. For example, now there is a hook, but I think magnet element will be nice for some kind of cargo. Maybe in the future, that two vehicles will be part of some bigger MOC.

UPDATE New version with drone. Third variation of the same vehicle. This time there is a drone on the back. Operator has dedicated controler for drone. That kind of of equipment can be rally halpful for carrying out research on foregin planet.

danth Posted January 8, 2020 These look great. Simple and clean yet visually appealing. I feel like they need magnets though. :) There are new magnet pieces coming out this year but they are kind of huge. And yellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyszardBosiak Posted January 9, 2020 danth, thank you for your opinion. Yep, magnets will be OK :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Mini Posted January 9, 2020 I like it! More *tron, more better! But "Technical" put me in mind of a Pickup truck or UTV with a rear (bed) weapon mount. Think Toyota Hilux with .50BMG on fixed tripod in the cargo bed. The build itself is pretty cool, need to replace the crane hook with magnets though. Get on it Lego!! We need an updated magnet system compatible with click hinges already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted January 10, 2020 Nice work! Very Retro feel, definitely M-Tron! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for your opinion. I tried to install magnet there, but it is a pretty too big. M-Tron and magnets is always associate together for me. Now I'm working on other variation of this vehicle, but this time with magnets ;) On 1/10/2020 at 6:21 AM, Umbra-Manis said: Nice work! Very Retro feel, definitely M-Tron! Thank you for your opinion :) I try to connect old style themes with newer bricks and techniques. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
