Great work Umbra. I'm guessing that Duck Tales was the main inspiration for this?

Cool ship. Turning the windscreens upside down on the cockpit was a great idea.

Welcome to MANTIS MicroBricks.

Location: F03 Forring Tags: Military Building - -Where are you. You can't hide from me forever. - - -Sir, what are you doing? It seems like we have waited half of a solar cycle on the landing pad for you. -well I'm looking for a...... - - Why are you pointing that blaster at me? -Stay still if you don't move I might be able to take it out. -Oh. That is a Fiegre. I have been playing Monsters of Andromeda. You use your communications holo tablet and it projects little creatures around you that you have to hunt down. It's pretty fun. you want to try? -No thanks. Anyway the captain wants you at at the landing pad now. -I bet if I found a Froganator you would have had this base in lock down! Now how do I get this thing to fit inside the capture ball. -............. Thanks for looking. C&C welcomed as always

Location: F03, Forring Tags: Spaceship, Military Building - -Welcome back to Forring Hawk. -Thanks General. I was just plotting out my next supply run. How can I help you? -Well, we are delaying your supply runs. We have a new assignment for you. Recently some of our armored scouts have gone missing on patrol. A few days ago one for them sent out a distress call with coordinates before loosing contact. We want you to investigate. -Sounds dangerous. Do we have any idea what took these scouts out? What will I be flying. The only ship on this outpost is the Turkey Mk2. -We don't know what took them out. Your shuttle will be enough. We will be assigning a group of special forces to be working with you. I would like to introduce you to Captain Mira. She will brief you on the mission. - -I'm glad I finally get to meet you Hawk. I have heard much about you. We will have 4 spec ops soldiers with us and we will start our search at these coordinates. Are you ready to go? -I just have a few questions. shouldn't we have a more backup then this. Something capable of taking out scout mechs should have no problem with a few spec ops. Couldn't we just send some unmanned drones? Plus an unarmed shuttle isn't the best choice for a situation like this. What if it is some kind of subterranean super predator? -Right now the mission is to observe and report. Our supplies have been cut a little short recently so this is all the soldiers we can spare at the moment. The CEO himself requested for you to go on this mission. We would never had any drones to do our work for us on Ice planet. - -Dont' worry Hawk. One MANTIS spec. ops. soldier is worth 100 of another corporations soldiers! It looks like your ship is unloaded and my soldiers are ready to go. We will meet you out on the landing pad. -Ok. I will be out there shortly. I hope you are right about all this Dax. - Thanks for looking. C&C is welcomed as always.

Location: F03 Forring Tags: Land Vehicle, Military Building, Spying Alarms sounding - -Sebastion, I seems that MANTIS has finally stumbled on our location. Are the preparations complete? -They are, but what happens if MANTIS get there hands on what I have accomplished here? -Everything that has happened so far has been by my design. It will be a good test for your new subjects. We will lure them right in my t....... -I have seen what MANTIS can do first hand. I will not be one of your pawn to be discarded at you will. Maybe I will take my work and go elsewhere with it. -You need to remember your place Sebastion. I saved your life from that remote Octan base for a reason, and I can just as easily end it. Plus i have a gift for you. I have made arrangements for a reunion with the MANTIS that did this to you. -I'm sorry. How is this possible? - I will all become clear soon. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the show. - -This is Mobil scout 1 to base. I have found something that you need to see. -Base: what is it Scout 1 - It appears to be an abandoned Military bunker. I am reading no movement or energy signature. -Base: Thats bizarre scout 1. None of our satellite images show any structures in the area. Please send us your coordinates and check the perimeter. - Right away. Sending coordinates now. - -Now they know where we are. We should have opened fire on them when we had the chance. Now they will destroy my work for sure. -My contacts in MANTIS have assured me that will not happen. Your work is truly great Sebastion, but if you keep questioning my plans your time in this organization might be cut short. I have to be going now but one of my associates will be staying with you to keep an eye on your work. Agent 3.... -Yes sir. - - The pieces are in place. It is time to set the trap. Like a fly in the spiders web, the Mantis will meet a similar fate. - yes sir.... - Scout 1 to base. Im picking up movement on my scanners. Wait, there is an energy spike to......oh no........its fast......... systems fai........bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt More pictures under the spoiler tag Thanks for looking, C&C welcomed.

Welcome to AG Mesabi.

Location: A06 Guinevere Tags: Spaceship Hawk was sent to meet back up with the MANTIS fleet. - - A few more pictures under the spoiler tag Thanks for looking. Pretty simple little ship this week. C&C welcomed.

Awesome mech. Lots of great greebling. I especially like how you used brief cases for armor plates.

Location: A06, Guinevere Tags: Land Vehicle, Civil Building As a duty of Third Banch executive, Hawk was sent to inspect Delta mining base. He hated doing official Executive stuff, and wasn't really sure why he was sent to the remote mining base. - - - - - - I'm in position. should I take the shot. -No. I don't think the pirates told him about us. I think he will make a nice pawn. Continue to follow him. More pictures under the spoiler tag Thanks for looking. C&C appreciated. I will add dialogue tomorrow.

MANTIS took B06 last week.

Location: B05 Marphacia Tags: Land Vehicle, Spying Hawk was given a pretty simple weekly mission. He was sent to investigate a Kawashita communications relay deep in the swamps of Marphacia. The base itself seemed overgrown and poorly maintained but it still appeared operational. - - Hawk sent out his beetle scout droid. Once it was in place on the satellite dish, it would send MANTIS intelligence communications coming though the relay. - More pictures under the spoiler tag. Thanks for looking. It doesn't really continue my story I have been working on. I had something more elaborate in mind but I was running short on time this weekend. As usual, C&C welcomed.

The ship looks great. I like the pictures with it disassembled. It's much more complicated then it looks at first glance and it's nice to see how you got some of the angles.

Nice build this week. Lots of nice little details. I really like how you made the spiral staircase.

Location:Tyrant hangar bay. B06 Sorn Tags: Military Building, Land Vehicle - -Be on alert W2-188. The commander is bringing the MANTIS prisoner here to meet with the Captain. They have been known to use every dirty trick in the book and usually go down fighting even when the odds are against them. - W2 has heard that MANTIS has a great AI benefits package. I knew an Octan Labor-bot that joined MANTIS, and has........ - Don't let the Commander hear you talking like that. She wouldn't hesitate to wipe your memory core. - - One Bug delivered as promised. - I have a question for you about MANTIS AI benefits. Is it true that AI's in MANTIS get vacation time and a retirement plan. - If you can get me out of here, I will make sure that you get any thin........ -That will be enough from you. Keep your mouth shut until the Captain gets here. - - Well I never thought I would see you again Dax. It sure is a small galaxy. I had heard rumors that you were shot down and....... - You not talk to the Captain unless speeked to first. - It's OK Thrugg. Hawk and I go back a long way. He has saved my life countless times in the service and can speak to me as he wishes. Plus you, me and Commander Aalyia need to have a talk about following my orders. He was not to be harmed. Please remove his restraints. Yes sir. Right away. - - It is good to see you again friend and I welcome you to my ship, the Tyrant. I had been watching you from a distance since you became Third branch executive. - I'd never take you as the space Pirate type. How did you manage to get your hands on a Kawashita freighter? -We prefer to be called the Thorn Mercenaries. We offer our services to many races here in Andromeda. Most of our clients don't trust the corporations, so they hire us to protect against them. Many of our recruits come from those races so please forgive my crew for their unfriendly actions. We could talk for hours catching up on the past but time is short. Your allies will be here soon thanks to Thrugg and we plan on being far from here when they arrive. - Why did you bring me here? You could have just sent me a holo message. - I have some sensitive information you might find interesting. I recently acquired it from a former client. Take this data card. Don't trust it with anyone in MANTIS. It will make more sense when you see it. The Commander Aalyia will fly you back to your speeder wreckage. It was good seeing you again friend. - Thank you and goodbye Dax. More pictures under the spoiler tag. Thanks for looking. It was a much longer story then I usually do so thanks for reading too. C&C welcomed.

Kinda took the Mean And Nasty out of MANTIS. The platform and the vehicles look nice.

Great first build. I can't wait to see what else you come up with in the future. Welcome to MANTIS and Andromeda.

Thanks rodiziorobs. Hawk was trying to steal a robot like a lot of MANTIS employees seem to do, but it didn't quite work out for him. Thanks SK. I've been wanting to find a way to use those pyramid pieces and I think they make the mech look just a little more though. Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I am really happy with how all of the Mercenary vehicles turned out too.

Location: B06 Sorn Tags: Spaceship, Land vehicle Note to judges. The MANTIS speeder is reused from last week and should not be judged. Can anyone hear me? Im hit..... We have jammed your signal and disabled your speeder. Surrender and come peacefully with us. We mean you no har.... Booooooom..... - - You Idiot Thrugg. We had orders specifically not to harm this one. You was shooting it. Me just wanted speeder go boom too. You think they could have augmented your brain when they augmented your body. The Captain will not be happy with this. I hate to interrupt your little chat but I'm picking up more bugs on their way. Can we wrap this up before they get here? Thrugg, get him in the transport, and in one piece please. More pictures under the spoiler tag Thanks for looking. C&C welcomed.

Cool ship and nice use of the brick separators. It's almost like your setting up for Wacky Races Andromeda.

I really like how this turned out. Very recognizable as a Saucer Centurion, but still looks very new. The joke about monorail tracks was great and the base design looks just like those raised base plate that Unitron and Spyrius sets came with.

Nice looking squadron of fighters. I may be biased, but the green and black one is definitely the coolest.
