I liked the RoboSheep from the NWBC so much, I felt inspired to make a Lambding
Craft for them, a DropSheep. :-)
Launched from a MotherSheep in orbit, the DropSheep, one of thousands, screams
down into the atmosphere at hypersonic speed. The air defense missile pods and
countermeasure dispensers extend when the speed drops below Mach 3, the point at
which fighters or ground launched interceptor missiles might have a chance to
engage the DropSheep. Hypersonic and exoatmospheric threats are effectively
handled by the fleet of MotherSheep in orbit.
Once the DropSheep is in range of the LZ, the nose cannon may be used to
eliminate nearby armored vehicles and bunkers. Area saturation rockets in the
upper pod are mainly employed against troop concentrations.
To get the sheep in the mood for battle, just prior to touchdown, the heat
shields on the loudspeaker system are opened and the sheep's version of "Ride of
the Valkyries" is played. To humans it would just sound like an earsplitting,
unbearably painful cacaphony.
The landing legs then extend from their aerodynamic stowed position and the
DropSheep hits the ground hard and fast, an impact cushioned somewhat by four
banks of powerful retro thrusters, but fatally abrupt by the standards of
organic beings.
Upon landing, the perimeter defense particle cannon is extended from the upper
pod's protective fairing to disentegrate anyone who might attempt a counter
assault in this perceived moment of vulnerability.
Disembarkation of the RoboSheep is swift as they scramble down the folding rear
ramp. Another world soon falls to the flag of the White Fleece!
When the sheep have devoured all that is worth consuming, the DropSheep blasts
off, and the crushing acceleration of its oversized thrust vectoring engines get
it back up to the MotherSheep in minutes. Then it's on to the next world.
K
ps - The interior shot shows the fluorescent tubes above the bench seats. These
are, of course, ultra harsh white!
Also the DropSheep deploys RoboSheep of the more dangerous Heavy Armor variant.
The ones at NWBC were just Light Armor scouts, the reduced mass allowing them
limited flight capabilities with a repulsorlift system.

That is as hilarious as it is gorgeous. Beautiful SNOT techniques, sculpting,
and function (amazing cannon).
Just priceless. Excellent, excellent job.
Cheers,

In the words of Jimmy Eat World, Sheepness. What a great story to support a
superb craft. The form is right on and that cannon is excellent!
Thanks for sharing!

Baaa. Beware the wooly hoarde.
Great MOC. So many little details and a fun concept.

My small, rarely used supply of white Lego is now finally used up. This was a
nice little project that I thought you all would enjoy. I'd like to see it in
action at a convention someday, landing sheep to attack in a cross theme war.
:-)
Hmm, I was just thinking, one could surmise the existence of a Shepherd species,
the creators and controllers of the RoboSheep, but as such stories always go,
the Shepherds themselves ultimately fell victim to the voracious RoboSheep and
are now extinct, the Shepherd homeworld a barren wasteland. Yeah, this always
happens when you build self-replicating killer robots. The universe is actually
infested with a billion different strains of such killer robots, rather than
billions of intelligent organic species. Their respective robot fleets randomly
meet and clash over thousands of years. Those are *serious* space battles. A
typical RoboSheep armada of a million ships would hardly even notice the
resistance offered by some tiny federation of human inhabited planets. The
sighting of one cute little RoboSheep scout is the most ominous thing you can
imagine. Leave all your belongings and get off the planet immediately! :-)

It's not often a model makes me laugh out loud. This is thing is pure distilled
fun. Well done
I'd better start building that muttoniser defense platform real soon. The Sheep
are coming!!

Cute. I love the retractable cannon. The black angled vent thingys on the rear
are cool too. Those visible studs on the aft panels must really irk you. ;-)

Brian -
This is one baaaa-d arse MOC. Watch out that those contractors don't try to
fleece you on production of these babies ...
