To answer briefly, we know nothing.

Is that sprung pendular suspension?

God if it had a pendular axle I would rejoice.

If the A model has an engine, then the B model will likely look like a regular dumper but in the same vein as a Case IH autonomous tractor (everything normal but no driver compartment)

Lol I think you might because I nearly fell for it

I mean, @Timoonn is entitled to his opinion. With 42081, I agree that it does look like it might be a bit boring from a functional standpoint, but that’s to be expected. It’s a front loader - they really only do one thing. Although for me the appearance really saves it, since we haven’t had a futuristic vehicle before. I’m just happy that we’re not getting standard cars and trucks and instead heavy machinery.

Oh is that not in it? I just kinda assumed it was. That is a bit disappointing /:

To each their own I guess. What were the last three 2H sets you were happy with?

Why not? It’s a bit unorthodox I’ll admit, but some forklifts do have a single hydraulic telescope in the centre.

But like... it’s a forklift. What were you expecting? There’s only so much they could do and they pretty much nailed it. Or do you generally find forklifts average? I agree with @Johnny1360 in saying that this 2H is one of the top we’ve had in recent times. I reckon it’s easily on par with 2015 and 2016.

I don’t see how you can tell it’s 5L from the leaks. It’s so heavily skewed and there isn’t really any other piece nearby to compare lengths with.

I think it’s 3L, looking at @efferman‘s drawing and 3D model.

Significantly easier attachment to gears and therefore simpler valve motorisation. This is insanely useful to us

Lord almighty this set’s gonna cost like $600AUD+ with the Bugatti license

He’s not doing himself a favour by buying the instructions instead of trying to come up with a solution himself. I like what you’ve got so far @Midlife-crisis. Keep going regardless of what others say, it’s a good challenge.

You’d be surprised by how many of us there are that love the prequels

Did we have a rise in orange pieces before 42056? They can buy 42056 because it’s retiring sooner and then 42083 later. It’s not really an issue and I doubt it’ll affect long term sales of 42056 or 42083. The pool of people that can afford 42056 will most likely factor this into their choice.

God damn this is beautiful, good job!

If it’s 16+ then it’s probably intended as a collector’s item like 42056 was. I think it’s safe to assume it’s a sports car.

I dig how it’s only got two engines. It looks like a sleek evolution of the design. I wish they used this in the sequels

I’m almost certain there will be one.

Considering we have both a licensed Volvo set and a licensed truck for this year I think that’s impossible

For the buildable figure line I’d love the following (ones most wanted are marked with *): TCW/PT - Captain Rex* - B1 Battle Droid* - Droideka* - General Kalani - Magnaguard Droid - Savage Opress - Aqua Droid Rebels - Ahsoka Tano* - The Grand Inquisitor OT - IG-88 - Imperial Probe Droid EU/Legends - Darth Revan

Oh lord I really hope they won’t have that ridiculous “don’t show the functions in action” policy that they had last year.

Some people suspect it could be of Technic construction
