Master Control

*currently unavailable because it uses discontinued vanilla armor blocks. It still works, it just looks wrong. I will be returning to this vehicle as it is important in microbot concept, as a master control command vehicle.

Powerful and unrelenting, Master Control vehicle perfectly demonstrates human ambition to tame the red planet.


This two-cockpit unit serves as a communication hub, overseeing the whole network of deployed robots and providing a link between the orbital satellites and space robots. It is the only vehicle you’ll need in harsh Mars environment as it has an oxygen supply and a highly mobile armored chassis that can carry and move Microbots and other equipment.

When I designed the Microbots I used as little components as possible so they would be easy to manufacture. When designing the vehicle that will actually carry humans on the surface of Mars, no expense should be spared to keep the crew safe. Therefore – Master Control is a heavily armored yet very fast 19-ton monster that serves as a mobile HQ!

Combat: Master Control vehicle by default has no weapons as it is too valuable to risk open conflict. However, it is well equipped to keep the crew safe. It has thick, composite heavy armor that leaves no components exposed with both cockpits inside a protective shell. When damaged, it can run on only three wheels (!) and it features a self-centered projection field for quick repairs.

Its best defense however is its good acceleration which is better than most aircraft! Even turrets have problems tracking something so fast so you’ll be out of their range in just a few seconds. When under fire, activate the afterburner and focus on driving. Don’t worry about the enemies, the only thing that can stop the Master Control is if you crash it into something.

--------------------------
The design obviously started as a Tumbler Batmobile – and I didn't expect it to be useful. However I noticed that due to its unique tilt, weight and afterburner it sticks to the surface and can achieve high speeds without flipping. And this is on 0.9G Mars! Since I was looking for a chassis to carry the Master Control of my robot concept – I added components to make this vehicle useful. After testing it thoroughly this design turned out pretty useful for something that started just as a recreation of an awesome movie car design.

Controls (everything is set up):
- for the new players... don’t forget the handbrake (by pressing “P")
- careful with the afterburner - use short bursts only when needed
- press 9 if you manage to flip the vehicle and it will un-flip
- turn on the projector for quick repairs
- lower the rear suspension to “pick up” the load with the landing gears


Master Control unit is intended to cruise at high speeds and cover long distances so the steering is adjusted accordingly. Note that this vehicle is created for Mars like planet terrain. You can easily replace the laser antenna with a turret - there is a cargo hold ready for it.
