About this creation

Codename: Buzzer
Function: Fighter
Faction: ASC (Allied Satellite Colonies)
Description: Developed from the support units for the TRL (Troll) mecha, themselves a variant of the FAE (Fully Augmented Engine). The Buzzer is a single manned fighter unit developed by Tempest Technical for the defence of the outlying colonies of the Sol system. Where as the drone version can divide into weapons and a engine pack for the TRL, this manned version is permanently coupled to the cockpit added to the central section.

Codename: Tempest Robotic Legionnaire (TRL)
Faction: ASC (Allied Satellite Colonies)
Function: Combat
Description: The TRL (pronounced troll) is a heavily armoured variant of the FAE unit. Designed and built at the Io shipyards by Tempest Technical, the TRL is reserved for the fiercest combat situations. The TRL Basic comes with a robotic fighter drone that divides into 3 components, a long range grenade launcher, a double barrelled machine gun firing plasma rounds and a flight pack module that attaches to the shoulder mounting of the TRL.
Additional: the TRL Basic while produced in large numbers tends to be deployed as part of mixed FAE TRL units, unlike the FAE which are frequently deployed in entirely FAE squads. TRL units tend to be piloted by experienced soldiers rather than fighter pilots, since their greatest strength and usefulness is actually on the ground, the wing pack is more for speedy deployment than for Ariel combat. A piloted version of the support module is sometimes used by colonists as fighter craft to defend the colonies, these manned versions are longer with a cockpit mounted mid section and occasionally come with a missile launcher variation. the piloted version is referred to affectionately as a Buzzer.

Just a heads up, LEGO.com's servers are acting up again, so anyone using LDD will probably need to put it into off-line mode to run it. Not sure how long it will take for them to fix it this time. Last time took a few days.
