BEHOLDING THE MANY PENIS MOBILE.
WITH REAR THRUSTERS AND A MASSIVE HEAD PLATE.
THE SHAFT IS PURE COCKY STEEL.
THE TIRES ARE PURE HAIRY WAX MOLTEN BUBBLING STEEL.
IT HAS ROOF.
WHAT HAVE YOU NOT HAVING IN HEAD FOR NOT BUYING THIS MASTERBAT....PIECE!
"TOPANGA"
You mount it like you would a speed bike for no apparent reason other than to feel the power between your legs [Armageddon reference]. However, unlike a speed bike it can drift on anything (land, sea, air, slipstream etc.). It also shoots out various projectiles: Zombie heads, Monkey poo, Tortoise shells, Dirty Delicates, barf bags donated from your favorite airliners (*coughs* as well as some of the seedy ones), y'know... the usual stuff.
BASICALLY its a laundry hamper powered by Pop Rocks, Soda, and a powerful libido. Also, it can slide across my carpet.
BEHOLD! A 2010 orange ferrari with black pin stripes running alongside the car, running on top of 32'' chrome spinner wheels on front, and 45'' on back. This deadly mother fucker will kill you, With its railgun head lights, it will shoot through 4 concrete buildings. It Features Dual mufflers that shoot rusty nails out the left side and banana peels out the right. The red interior features a blue raspberry snow cone maker. why? cause blue raspberry snow cones are fucking cool thats why! The Green lit LED dashboard features 3 buttons, one that operates the snow cone maker. Another Sets off the NOS system so you can get out of a sticky situation, the last button make two fully automatic machine guns come from out of the trunk, that can rotate 360 degrees to take out the enemy from all angles.
Any way the ultimate experimental is...

SO MUCH PENIS SO LITTLE TIME!
IT RUNS DOWN MOUNTAINS. CLIMBS TREES. AND WILL EVEN BANG YOUR ATTRACTIVE SISTER INTO OBLIVION! TASTE MY PAIN!!!!!
Eat your heart out Sweet-Tooth :3
The Mobile Snow is made of ice with a constant cooled environment to keep it from melting, except for the heated areas where people can sit where it's balanced out.
On the front of the vehicle are three small cannons connected to a supply of snow that it gathers constantly (more on that later), which shoot out balls of snow at high speeds.
In the back is a person who can gather from the same container dispensing water that freezes instantly as soon as it hits the ground, working much like an oil slick.
On the top of the vehicle is a turret gun, that works much like the previously said weapon, except it freezes the liquid first, then launches it at high speeds at targets.
The water is gathered from sweat provided from the heated bands that the driver and passengers have to wear. It can also gather water when there is rain, and with the added bonus of freezing liquid it drives over.
I'll take my posters gift-wrapped. Kthx.
So. I'd like to see a Cybran experimental land/sea unit. The Chain Strider would be a mid-weight six-legged unit with particularly tall legs. Like spider legs, these legs reach twice the altitude of the main body before reaching a straight, armored foreleg down to the ground. These legs would allow it to walk through shallow to medium depth water by raising the body far above its normal height. The body would be fairly flat and elongated, like that of a cockroach, and segmented into three sections (one supporting each pair of legs) which can bend slightly with respect to the others, allowing it an organic turn like a segmented cargo truck or limo. The units back carries six weapon pods on long articulated tentacles. Each pod is shaped like a thickened spearhead made of two identical halves, which separate and retract from the tip. Concealed within each of these pods is a harpoon attached to a high-tension line. The harpoon may be shot into an enemy air unit, dealing moderate damage and anchoring it within the lines reach, preventing bombers or fighters from escaping or maneuvering effectively and slowing any other targets effectively hit. The pods cannot aim below the plane of the body, making standard tanks and other experimentals immune to these harpoons unless the Strider can change its position to one significantly below the enemy unit (the Strider could effectively attack up cliffs, and could target ships if in water). When partially submerged the Chain Strider can employ a pair of torpedo tubes mounted below the body's assumed waterline, but also becomes highly vulnerable to enemy torpedo attacks. The units main attack is a powerful but slow firing pulse laser mounted in the mouth of a mandible-bearing dragon-like head affixed to a short but relatively flexible neck. In its traditional combat role the Strider would serve as powerful anti-aircraft support, ensnaring enemy gunships and bombers before obliterating them with its powerful area-of-effect blast. Against ships the Strider could attach multiple cables to a single enemy craft, effectively halting it to allow it and other units to easily destroy it. The slow fire rate of the main laser, combined with a moderate projectile speed, would make the strider relatively ineffective against non-ensnared enemy units. The power of the main weapon could help combat small groups of enemy ground units (destroying a tank or two while seriously damaging surrounding enemies with each shot), but more capable ground-to-ground units could quickly surround and destroy it. At sea, the strider could fulfill much the same role, but with the added anti-ship capability yielded by its harpoons. The foil to this naval versatility is fragility: its nautical vulnerability to torpedoes would put it at the mercy of enemy submarines and destroyers, while the long submerged legs would make perfect targets for the Illuminate Wilfindja Sea Hunter. As a possible upgrade the unit could gain a shield generator with which to protect nearby friendlies. The generator would serve a shield arc instead of the normal personal shield: much like the structure shield generator, this unit could help to defend nearby units from direct attacks. In particular, this unit would effectively compliment the Cybran Bomb Bouncer, an anti-artillery support experimental. The combination of these two units could shield a Cybran force from the most pressing non-conventional threats, forcing an enemy player to fight the Cybran army directly or with more esoteric weapons. Individually, this unit would not be particularly powerful (in comparison with the other giant walkers): health and armor levels would slightly exceed those of the Illuminate Airnomo (a relatively light giant walker), as would cost. Its ideal counters would include any experimentals that significantly outweigh it in raw power (while the harpoons could attack anything taller than it they don't pack enough firepower to make the unit competitive against the heavier experimentals), medium-weight or heavier tank groups (while the main laser of the Chain Strider would be fairly effective, its low health and slow fire rate would doom it in most tank battles, though the shield upgrade could keep it competitive for a short time), and powerful naval groups (while individual ships would be at the mercy of multiple harpoon hits, torpedoes, and laser hits a large group could exploit the walkers low health and vulnerability to naval weapons to quickly bring it down).
