Zoom in

A heavy jeep used by the M-Tron corporate military.

About this creation

Due to a tax dispute M-Tron Vehicle Works founded a military of mercenaries, smugglers, and assassins to try to strongarm the Explorien Empire into changing the law. This jeep is nicknamed "Connochate" for obvious reasons.

The cabin. I tried to squeeze a whole lot of stuff in there. I think I did well.

What happens when all the buttons on the yellow panel are pressed at once? Use your imagination!

I imagine it would be something like causing all the toilets in Buckingham palace to flush simultaneously.

That hand looks a little weird from here. It looks like a perfectly normal shifter most of the time.

I love four-wheel steering. :)

There, the boys are in it. What's that green thing? Two liters of diet Mountain Dew.

The angle shots make it seem more violent.

I should have put squished Explorien troops under the wheels.

Here's a peek under the hood. I don't know what a real car's engine looks like, so I was just guessing here.

Here's the super-simple technic chassis that powers the four wheel steering. I built the chassis months ago, and just got around to finishing it.

Oo, I like a lot. I have an Army of Mtrons, and this would be a great thing to have for them if it was actually for sale :)

Thought i wasnt born at the time they came out i ve always admired Mtron sets and spent hours dreaming looking at 1986 booklets i got from my sister...anyway great work on the 4 wheel steering mechanism...the oustide is a bit bulky but thats the military look for ya! Oh justa little detail ;Mtron windshields are of that trans-light greenlimish color it would look so much better!!!
