Well, they are an assortment of strange shapes -a couple are peanut (or
dumbbell)-shaped, others are teardrop or egg-shaped (pointy end
forward).
They are all high tech Grav types, though a couple could also pass for
GEVs. They are less Giger-esque than the Kryomek vehicles, though they
are
equally odd; they could be bio-style, or could be "hard tech" from a
race
that simply doesn't like the same geometry that we do. All surfaces are
covered in irregularly-shaped raised panels, kind of soft-edged crazy
paving! Some have smooth, rounded "cockpit" blisters. They vary from
small
scout craft about 100mm long, up to some big combat vehicles at nearly
200mm and a "lander" which is 250mm long and nearly 100mm wide.
The whole range was: two different small scout/attack vehicles, one
large
grav-tank with turret, a peanut-shaped "tank destroyer" with fixed gun,
a
smaller "assault gun", two different APCs (one grav, one obviously
hover),
a "flying saucer" shaped drone (about 100mm diameter) and the big lander
which is a flattened sausage shape with a pointed bow end. One that we
never moulded up before dropping the range was a large "gunship" style
air
vehicle.
The reason we dropped them, surprisingly, was that they never really
sold
all that well over here...
