Looks like a deli. Would be cool to get a speedier smaller transport/attack vehicle. Obviously its gotta have weapons, unless its cloaked then any vehicle without weapons is pointless. A smaller, much faster version of a sundy with some unique abilities/traits could be very cool. The sundy is huge and has its own role. You could easily find a perfect role for this smaller vehicle. Seriously, i wanna see a few gunner seats on this thing. =D

maybe this is some sort front-line, mobile platform?

Like a deployable single air pad / air spawn ...or deployable vehicle spawn

That... looks like a vehicle to me.

And it looks like the dog's bollocks (that's colloquial English for awesome).

Does it have a name?
What role does it play compared to the Sundy?
Looks kinda stealthy.

Discuss.

Liking the new look of the deliverer!

If they want names for this thing, here's a few...

First we have the PS1 names that are now obsolete, thanks to the "Flash" being the ATV name.

- Basilisk
- Fury
- Wraith (I think this one should be reserved for a stealth/cloaked vehicle)

Then here's a few more ideas I came up with while driving home.
- Storm
- Scorpion
- Mongoose
- Armadillo
- Manticore
- Thunder

I'm sorta partial to "Basilisk", "Storm" and "Thunder". The latter two fit with the Nanite Systems names for Flash & Lightning, both of which occur in a storm and thunder being missing. I think Basilisk is a great name and would love to see it come back in the form of a different vehicle. It didn't fit an ATV anyway.

I now want one for real life!

Lonehunter · 2012-04-10, 03:59 AM

This seriously needs to be called the Puma. Or the Rhino, that bumper has mowing potential

I do see why people are saying it looks like an ANT, but it looks suited for off-road terrain, something I remember the ANT not doing too well at.

For some reason, I can see the back of this vehicle opening up in order to deliver a payload of missiles, kind of like a mobile SAM platform or a Sherman Calliope.

I liked Manticore so much I tweeted it at NS.

I could see that being a Basilisk...Manticore's alright and for some reason I like Mongoose. Armadillo seems the most appropriate, but for some reason I don't like it as a name.

Edit: Also, I hate Puma, because everyone will be calling it "Poomah".

Deli was the first thing that came to mind, but it could an advanced buggy? Think Humm-Vee (sp?). But if it is a Deli, where are guns? Or is it designed so that infantry can shoot out through those gun ports on the sides?
