Transportation Vehicle

"Transportation Vehicle." Sounds redundant. But I'm full of comedic redundancies, so it's okay.
Anyways, here's the Transportation Vehicle (because I can't think of a better name right now). I call it this (because of the prior reason, of course and) because it "specializes" in transporting goods from one place to another.
Put crystals and things in the back compartment!
In the mental image I have in my mind, this thing is all about quick acceleration but lacks good speed. I don't know quite why I think this. Maybe it's because I'm imagining what this machine would be like if it were in a video game and that it would have quick acceleration to balance out stuff like the motorcycle (which I would imagine having slow acceleration but a ridiculously high top speed). But this is beside the point.
Vroom! Vroom!

Jet-Ski

For all the times your LEGO guys need to travel BY WATER, there're machines for this. Enter the jet-ski I made.

This thing's pretty, pretty cool. It's got loads of gadgets and such on it to make it look nice. And the bottom is a smooth surface for which to glide along the water.
Oh look, it's my hand...
 
It really is a fun thing to play around with. Not much else to say, really.
Drift!

The Dual Minigunner

This one is an interesting one, because it came about solely when I was just putting things together and out came a relatively cool motor car vehicle thing. Then, something possessed me to put these two gun-looking shooters on the top. Needless to say, this last minute feature turned out to be probably the best feature of all my creations that I created.
Unlike The Motorcycle, the back is actually, mildly exciting!
For good measure, it's worth noting that the handles the minifigures hold onto, come off ridiculously easy. This is rather annoying, seeing as I have to put the handles back into place. But luckily that does not make my design any lamer.
 

Now, for your collective entertainment, an animated gif of the guns firing.
*Click image to see it ANIMATED!*
So powerful, it causes earthquakes, apparently.

The Motorcycle

The orange lazers complement the blue. Didn't notice that at first, actually.

Now, I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking that the thing up there is not a motorcycle. Well originally, I had planned to make this really big motorcycle
. But as I when on, it slowly turned away from a motorcycle into this three-wheeled-monster-truck-type-deal that you see. So that's why I call it a motorcycle and I will continue to refer to it as "The Motorcycle."

It is a fun car thing to play around with actually. It's definitely the biggest vehicle I've made so far, so it houses a lot of respect... from the other vehicles... I'm assuming. One problem I have with it is the fact that you can't get the LEGO dudes inside it without totally removing that top part.

A super tough, crime fighting, Batmobile-like, monster truck and there's no doors.


But when inside, it fits like a glove.

For a last note, the back is a completely flat wall... nothing special... no jet propelled boosters or anything.




Next time...
