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.

Very Happy

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. Wink

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. Smile

T.E.A.

/facepalm

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