Description

Molo is an obnoxious juvenile delinquent and bully who specialized in playing cruel over the top pranks on his helpless victims. Molo became a huge fan of the terrorist group known as the Coyotes and he idolized their arsonist leader Sid Burn.

When Molo was expelled from school he took it as a sign he was meant for bigger things. Stealing one of his now former school’s buses he hid it in a junkyard and began modifying it for battle.

Using unknown chemicals and materials he found in the junkyard Molo built a toxic smog machine that he connected to the bus exhaust system so it could blast out a noxious brown cloud that can gum up, stall and eventually destroy any vehicle’s engine.

Molo then headed west in the hopes he would find the Coyotes and join them in their destructive spree across the country.

Molo eventually found the Coyotes at the Hexagon Petroleum Refinery in Antelope Ridge, New Mexico. Molo joined them in attacking the refinery and battling the heroic Vigilantes opposing them.

Once the battle was over Molo followed the Coyotes and petitioned them to let him join the gang. Sid was happy Molo had helped them escape the Vigilantes but he refused to let Molo join the gang and left ditched him.

Thinking this meant he had to prove himself to the gang Molo followed them to the abandoned ghost town of Mesa Diablo located in Hunters Wash, New Mexico attempting to destroy the train station located there during the Coyote’s attack but he was forced to flee during the battle.

Molo was distressed when Sid took off without him once again but he remained determined to prove himself to his hero.

Hearing Sid took off to California to hit another target Molo tracked him to the Premium Fruit Company’s orchard and wind farm in San Joaquin Valley, California but instead of finding Sid he finds the Vigilantes who ambush him. Molo along with the remaining Coyotes ends up battling them while trying to destroy the farm.

Molo is once again forced to flee and try to track down Sid. Molo trails Sid to the canyon lands along Route 191 near La Sal Junction, Utah. Unbeknownst to him Sheila, the niece of Convoy, the leader of the Vigilantes was tracking him.

Despite his best efforts Sheila successfully defeated Molo in pitched battle single-handedly. Molo was then arrested and eventually sentenced to a maximum-security juvenile detention center.

For Molo’s 1966 School Bus I went with a 1966 Gillig Transit Super Coach C-180 D since it was closest to the body shape of the in-game model.

I couldn’t quite make the yellow/orange tone of the game model work so I went with the classic yellow like the FMV and box art model which for some reason is a 1990s era bus.

The hardest part of doing this thing was the rivets. Like good fucking God this thing is riveted together like a battleship so that part took me the longest.

I kept the background fairly simple because Molo’s bus takes up so much space making it any smaller would have ruined the details on it.

If you don't know what Vigilante 8 is, read this:

In the 1970s the world was suffering from a world-wide oil shortage. The USA was heavily dependent on affordable gasoline and was on the verge of an economic breakdown. Strikes, riots and crime were running rampant and all available law enforcement was brought into metropolitan areas which left the outlands unprotected.

The Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR), a foreign multinational oil consortium had its sights set on monopolizing the world’s oil trade and its biggest opponent was the USA which opposed OMAR's price fixing schemes.

Bent on forcing the USA to its knees OMAR hired terrorist Sid Burn to go to the US and commit acts of mass destruction and chaos designed to send the country's economy over the edge. Sid immediately traveled the American Southwest and formed a gang called the Coyotes and began targeting American oil refineries, alternate energy sources and terrorized and robbed small towns and settlements along the way.

With nobody to turn to for help, a ragtag group of citizens victimized by the Coyotes led by the trucker known as Convoy banded together as The Vigilantes, who quickly became a major thorn in the Coyote's collective side.

Desperate to get an edge on his enemies and looking for a way to cause more destruction, Sid Burn heard the rumors of advanced weapons based on UFO technology housed at the mysterious government installation called Site-4 located somewhere near Papoose Lake, Nevada.

Ambushing Site-4 Sid's robbery went bad when the Vigilante's unexpectedly showed up and as a result the world's most advanced weaponry found its way into the hands of both parties.

With their normal vehicles modified into rolling engines of destruction the Coyotes and Vigilantes now wage a war across the American Southwest with the fate of the USA hanging in the balance.
