Description
Decided to redesign the tripods to be more from the book but with adventure time elements.The terrible Fighting Machines are perhaps the most vivid impression that survivors have of the Invasion, the hundred-foot tall Titans striding across the landscape with their strange loping gait, laying waste left and right with their devastating Heat-Rays. These constructions are in themselves a masterpiece of engineering, each part precisely machined and interlocked with its fellows. The Fighting Machines were constructed almost exclusively from an advanced alloy of aluminium (which is incidentally much stronger than aluminium alone), which was left unpainted and glittering in the sunlight.
The main body of the fighting machine, holding the Heavy Element Engine, the Heat-Ray and the cowl in which the Martian operator sat, was supported by three spindly, jointed legs, controlled using the pseudo-muscular system described previously. The Fighting-Machines were equipped with a number of devices fitting for their terrible purpose: a Heat-Ray generator mounted on an articulated arm; a wire-mesh basket behind the hood of the machine, in which captured humans were deposited; a steam-hose, used to lay the clouds of Black Smoke once they had served their purpose. Beneath the main body of machinery dangled six glittering tentacles, operated on the same principle as the pseudo-muscular system described above. The discs were covered by an armoured sheath of interlocking rings of aluminium, protecting the pseudo-muscles from damage. The tentacles could be used to administer an electric shock to the Martians' victims, subduing struggling humans before they were placed in the metal basket.
some additional features are 6 separate turrets, 2 for laser blasters, disintegration rays, and skeleton beams, which neutralize Mesons, the atomic glue holding matter together, By cutting across their lines of magnetic force any object will simply cease to exist. A steam gun is added on the black smoke launcher and both are connected to 2 seperate tanks on the back. one for the superheated steam and another with the black smoke.

This is very fun design, very in the spirit of the show.
Tell me just one thing: is Magic Man piloting this thing?
I mean: that hat is awfully familiar.
