Project SWORD 2012: The New Mission

Browsing fleebay tonight I think I've come across a toy, which would make a fantastic modern Project SWORD vehicle: the remote-controlled TARANTULA. A sort of cross between a Lunar Climber and a Scramble Bug, it's straight out of Brain's Tracy island lab! The Tarantula is an ATV for roving alien Promethean landscapes. A modern toy for a modern SWORD fleet. What do you think? Any other contenders for SWORD 2012?
PS. My blogging remains frustratingly sporadic and simple I'm afraid until I get my laptop back from the repair shop. This borrowed PC lacks my picture archive from which I illustrate my usual posts. I will re-join WOTAN in normal blogging ASAP. Thanks for all the support you're giving him readers. Appreciate it!
