M-Tron Global Viper armed drone (VV)

Space. It's big. Like, REALLY big. You can't be everywhere at once. And for a state of the art mining corporation like M-Tron, you NEED to be. Enter the GLOBAL HAWK. A fully autonomous surveillance vehicle, capable of extended missions and armed combat. No more skulking around the dark side of moons for Blacktron spies. Shipped flat-packed (some assembly required). Buy today!

(One of the few things I've built that actually look way better in photos than in real life. Tried replacing the trans neon green for lime and I love the results. Inspired by SuperHardcoreDave's magnificence.)

    Radness mate! I was going to ask you what you were gonna bring, a classic space SHIP monster perhaps???

    I love the smell of M-tron in the morning.

    Great job! Really bringing M-Tron into the modern day!

    Way cool. I love how your builds always look rather simple, but upon closer inspection one always finds clever building techniques and some interesting design work.

    This is really sweet, though the tail fin looks a little confusing to me.

    Oh Shanno, how I love thee!! M-Tron was by far my fav space theme, and boy-o-boy did you do it justice!! I completely and unequivocally concur w/ Peter.

    Yum, yum, yum... Delicious!

    GREAT ! The lime is a nice idea to replace trans-neon green, it works extremely well. Something in the design shout "Mysterion" ;-)

    Nice model! I'm sure there will be plenty of space for it in Project M-Tron at Brickworld Chicago :)

    Great, even if you never use actual cockpit pieces in you spaceships! :)

    You know you would think as I work with magnets all day, I would be more attracted to these guys, but no its still Futuron and Blacktron for mine. Great ship mate, love the drone approach too.

    Heh heh, thanks mate!

    This is so great

    Have not seen this one yet - just slowpoking my way through life I guess. Got some goodness here for sure..the altered/additional colors added to the theme seem to work quite nicely. Also that center section what with all the blocky color switching and fancy half-stepping just hits the spot. Thanks for linking me - even though I must admit the finished product you have here is uniquely your own. Honestly to talk inspiration-wise I would have to tag you (among others) to many of my photo's, and personally think it's great that creativity breeds more creativity.
