I love space ATV's. My favourite toy ATV's are naturally the SWORD Moon Bus and the Scramble Bug, with the SpaceX MOLAB a close second. Not sure how many toy space ATV's there are [is the SPV an ATV?], are you? I think Hot Wheels or Matchbox did one. I imagine there are more kits like the Tamiya U59 from Joe 90. The ATV that would have made a fantastic C21 toy would have been the UFO Lunar Tank [film clip above].
To celebrate ATV's in Sci Fi, above is a gallery of clips from the small and big screens. Which is your favourite ATV? Pics, gifs, clips, links all welcomed.
Great topic Woodsy! Love these wheeled & tracked juggernauts. HALO has made the relatively normal looking 'Warthog' a household name, but the Scorpion Tank is a more interesting design to me. Anyone interested in space tanks the size of a city block (or three) should check out the BOLO series of books or stories.
ReplyDeleteMMM WANDA VENTHAM AND THE MOONBASE GIRLS...
ReplyDeleteGotta be the Aliens APC, SPV or Sidewinder. In toy terms, Scramble Bug or Hovertank
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, no ... as president of the Wanda Ventham fan club, I cannot allow you to refer to her as an all-terrain vehicle. Nor the Moonbase girls, neither. Not nohow.
ReplyDeleteDesist.
