UNE "Sledgehammer" Drop Pod

This is the classiest transport craft in the history of transport craft. Not only does it drop at dizzying speeds onto a planet, it also has a driver in front to guide/drive the craft. There are also a pair of anti-material autocannons on the front for clearing an LZ. Blinding entrance? Check. Awesome firepower? Check. Clever shape? Double Check. The purpose of this craft is to provide highly trained units to the front lines fast. The transport is launched directly at the planet and once the craft is well into the atmosphere, the wings unfurl. As the ship rapidly decelerates, the driver pulls the craft up and prepares to deploy troops. This all happens in a matter of three minutes, compared to nearly forty that regular transports take. The only downside is that very few troops can be loaded into each transport (usually squads of five).
About this creation

The backside of the craft. The wings are also designed to provide an effective bunker for the troops trying to load up under fire. The door unfolds to create a small ramp / armored door. Kinda Banshee-ish, don't you think?


Craft in drop mode before unfurling flaps.


Could it be? Yes! LDD photoshopped into real life with special effects added on! I love GIMP. I don't know where this battle seems to be taking place, though. Apparently on a planet where the hills and mountains are actually giant storage tubs.

And before you call me out on this Awe, I know plasma isn't green. I also know you don't actually use plasma, but I love to make a mockery of your troops.

Quoting A Member Since December 7, 2007, Jake Parkinson Ultimately, this is something I would reccomend buying if you've got the money. Total score is: 22.
Actually, no. I built this to look cool, not to be sturdy. I'm guessing the wings would fall off from their own weight.

Great design, and I like the alltogether shape. 4/5 information/backstory, 5/5 shape, 9/10 cargo, colors 4/5. Ultimately, this is something I would reccomend buying if you've got the money. Total score is: 22.

Never build a Drop pod. Could never get a good design going, but you're is pretty nifty.
