Drone Hauler

26.9k Sunnyskies  7.9 years ago

A reworking of a previous concept. This is a flatbed tractor-trailer fitted with four individual attack drones. Each drone is equipped with a camera and a machinegun. AGs 1-4 detach and arm the drones. VTOL down to lower the drones to the runway before detaching them.

The truck's forward gear is linked to AG8, so be sure to deactivate it before throttling up (otherwise the truck will crash while you're trying to fly the drone). AG7 engages the truck's reverse gear, and AG6 turns on the lights.

Be careful driving the truck. At speeds above 30, it tends to want to tip over.

The drones are modeled after another previous creation of mine, the Tiny Terror. It's a capable plane, but can be a little tricky to get into the air.

Also, If you just want the truck, just peel off the drones and keep the flatbed. I won't judge! It's a nice truck!
