Used by the Humans of the last city of Zion to scout robot territory.

This is not an official design from The Matrix or any of it's sequels, but is meant to be in canon.

Enjoy!

Nice. There's a lot of good "minifig-accessories-as-greeblies" on this. I'm also impressed with the way you utilized those visors on the ball on the back.

Well, its meant to look like a small egine scalvaged from another ship that was strapped on back to make it go faster, while the the small engines (buzzsaws) are used as stabilizers and for turning. Credit goes to Ryan Wood (?) for the visor on tire technique (I used smaller tires than he did).

This looks very...sharp. But very, very cool. It kinda resembles deep-sea fish, like the anglerfish.

I actuall think it more resembles a dragonfly with kidney stone, but I guess everyone looks at it differently.

Wow, cool design.

Looks like something I might "borrow" a design from.
