| The Lobster is an unmanned ground combat vehicle used by the True English Army. Standard armament is a heavy minigun, but it can also be fitted with grenade launchers, a 20mm cannon or a long range sniping cannon. Inspired by the exceedingly awesome ROBOT MINIGUN TANKS from the beginning of Appleseed. Robot. Minigun. Tanks. Pic is link; PLMKWYT

| awesome! nice detail on the gun!
For some reason the front wheels reminds me of The Tumbler from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. | |

| Looks good! My only complaint would be that you said "Gatling Gun." It should be Mini-Gun, a Gatling gun would imply that it is hand cranked. But other than that, It looks good!

| It's very nice, but every time I look at it, it appears to be a mini-scale tank, not a mini-fig scale robot.
Eh. | |

From my understanding, that's not entirely true: a true gatling gun is the Civil War era hand cranked version, but a minigun is a miniaturised version of a gatling style gun. The Gau-8 Avenger is considered a "gatling-type rotary cannon", so gatling-type or gatling-style would be more accurate- but since minigun sounds better, changed to that anyway. - Dr. J wrote:

Eh. heh, that would be a big tank if this was mini! P: Naw, I see what you mean. | |

Good point, though I've always heard of the Avenger as just a "Rotary Cannon." I think that a Mini-Gun fits the size of this 'Bot nicely, I also love how you SNEEZED the front part. -Stormy | |

/facepalm
Otherwise, a pretty decent MOC, though I agree that it's tumbler-esque and looks more like a mini tank. | |
