The H-30 hovercraft. Armed with a 600-rounds-a-minute minigun.
About this creation
The Desert Commandos found themselves with a problem when a squad of soldiers found a huge marshland and swamps streching as far as the eye could see. Even the FA-2 and FA-3 jeeps got stuck, the TR-14s sunk and the Wolf tanks managed to get some distcane, but also sunk, in some cases, up to the turrets into the marshes...
They needed a hovercraft, or a swamp skimmer.
It needed to be able to go through the swamps with soldiers on board, it needed weapons to defend itself and to attack, it needed to be quick. So, the DC turned to LTC, Lego Truck Company, and asked them to design a hovercraft. And they did.
They created the H-30.

Overall shot.
Yes, I know it doesn't look much like a "normal" hovercraft, but, the DC aren't normal. So there.

The H-30 usualy has a crew of 3. A gunner at the front, a captain and a first mate. The cpatain is at the controls, whilst the first mate is on communications.

The H-30 can hold about 5-6 other soldiers, as well as the crew. So 8 is the maxiumum, it would be a tight squeeze, but possible.

A close up of the 600 RPM minigun, standard issue with all H-30 in active service. It is for use against any SPA threat, and it works.

Engine!
A nice big beefed-out engine to power this thing along the swamps.
