"Atlas" Lifter + "Ant" Mech (Vanilla) (W4stedspace competition)

Description
These vehicles were built for each other, but you can try to transport other vehicles with the lifter.

This was originally only a mech, that can be made quite compact with a buttonpress, which is done by synchronizing timers in a way that the legs always align right, no matter the state of the legs. This means the legs can lock even while running.

The compact design allows for easy transport, this is why I built the Atlas VTOL with it. This VTOL is powered by Whiplash's epic script, which you can find here:

It can get quite fast when the rotors are angled forward, and it can get pretty hard to fly.

The vehicles are armed with light weaponry, able to take down most small ships and infantry.

Tips:
Fly without dampeners and glide with the dampening the two extra engine pods provide.
Turn the Engine pods off when trying to pick up payload to allow for the ship to stay calm.

I can't get my rotors to tilt they just go stiff and they're not locked, how did you manage this?

Bruce i would love to see an updated version of this lifter and ant it would be pretty cool and you could fix the "explodes violently when switching modes" problem

Looks good however it tends to explode violently when switching modes. Is there any fix for this?

Can you make another lifter and have it able to lift all your vehicles if it does not already:steamhappy:
