Description It's a mobile BFG! (Big Freakin' Gun) It's so big, I had to counter-balance it with a bunch of tires, or it would just fall off. Also, each track has independent suspension! It has a crew of five: Commander, Driver, Main Gunner, 2 Lookouts (L/R). Adapted from Lego's "Iron Predator"

The "Tyrant" Class Heavy Assault Vehicle (T-CHAV) is designed for a very specific purpose: to put really big holes in things.

The "Tyrant" typically travels 'tween two tanks to take threats together. OK, it travels with an escort because it's defensive capabilities are small. Aside from the main cannon, it is armed only with a heavy Machine Gun under the nose, and whatever the crew has inside. The main cannon fires a massive pulse of plasma energy, similar to a Covenant Wraith Tank, but with a surprise: Encased within the plasma pulse is a large (yield) Proton Bomb.

Info:
1 Rear hatch
4 Tracks with independent suspension
1 Force field over the crew
2 Super-Capacitors for the main Cannon
1 Heavy Machine Gun
1 Ultra-Heavy Proton Cannon
5 Crew

Neat custom! That turret looks much more solid than the original model. Darn thing keeps falling off...

It is somewhat better, but it's a lot heavier; don't pick it up by the gun.

"Don't pick it up by the gun."
That's good advice in any situation.

Thanks!

And that's Russian *minions*... Just 'cause it's more fun to say "minion".

yes, minions is better especially considering how many of them i have! stormtoopers, clones, battle droids, soviets, they all make good minions as long as you remember to feed them Minion Dew regularily (got that one from when they made the Clone Wars mountain dew labels lol)

I think there's a difference between minions and troops: most minions are supposed to be semi-incompetent. (I know, that means I'm letting a bunch of incompetents drive a huge gun, but at least they have a leader with them.)

Stormtroopers are only a lousy shot when main characters are around.

And Minion Dew is one of the top selling items at my restaurant! (fourth floor of the control center)

"Drink Minion Dew! it will improve your competence in combat, as well as help to keep you awake during those overnight operations!"

well yeah, but minions is a good overall term for a mass of mixed forces

True, but I'd at least classify the more elite forces differently. Like say, Zotaxian soldiers.

"Warning! Minion Dew should not be used by anyone above the rank of Minion, as it may cause loss of IQ. Minion Dew is intended for use by Minions only."

"Minion Dew is not responsible for random occurrence of monologues, utter annihilation, and uncontrollable BWAHAHAs that may occur. side effects include but are not limited to increased roadkill, leveled towns and cities, and an obsessive desire to please your master or overlord. please ingest responsibly."

Thanks! Glad you like it!

They're from the Indiana Jones sets "Jungle Cutter" and "River Chase". (Colonel Dovchenko, and Russian minions)
