Starfleet Ground Vehicles

Inspired by a discussion on another board, I whipped this up:

I just decided to call it the Argo II for the time being. I know it's not too original, but whatever...

It's powered by a fusion powerplant. Fuel for the reactor is condensed from the air and broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis; hence, the Argo II can refuel itself continuously on almost any Class M planet. Power goes straight to four sealed electric traction motors mounted on the wheels.

The seating arrangement is 2+1.

The topmounted phaser turret is aimed manually with computer aid, using a joystick control set. The gunner sits in the third seat.

The Argo II scout vehicle's armor is heavy enough to stop most hand weapons, but insufficient against larger weapons. Windows are made of transparent aluminum. The doors are hinged in a gull-wing fashion.

The Argo II ofcourse.

And the Argo III pic is updated, like 10 minutes ago.

I have drew an old Skoda or a Lada and drew a supersoaker on each wing.
