“Podargos” Five-Wheeled Light Diesel Combat Truck Mk. XXXII

Personal Note: It’s that time again for my annual MOC. Being an engineer remains fascinating and continues to scratch the mechanical itch previously fulfilled by LEGO. In my building hayday, the physical existence of a WIP collection was incomprehensible but now I understand all too well. These variant MOCs are an all-too-easy crutch to reach for in my time-rationed career life and I hope I’m not boring everyone with my recycled chassis designs. Composability, right?

A swift combat variant of the highly-successful Courser cargo truck, the Podargos was armed with the same caliber weaponry as the Destrier combat car, its comparatively lethargic cousin, but wielded it to far greater effect due to its innovative hydraulically-stabilized turret with an improved orientation system. This effective combination of horse- and fire-power rendered it unmatched in mobile encounters, where its agility largely negated its vulnerabilities as a relatively large and lightly-armored target.

Play Features:
-Pistons pump and levers rock when rear wheel turns
-Turret rotates or guns elevate when left or right exhaust pipes are spun (Gearing)
-Proportional twin steering in frontal axles
-Rear wheel shock absorbers
-Hinged engine access panels
-Hinged cab roof, side windows, and armor ‘blinders’
-Folding embarkation ladders
