I like all the variants too. It looks like it would make the perfect
multi-purpose-heavy-duty thing-a-ma-gig. For some reason, I really like how
the roof of the cab extends a little further than the windshield. It makes a

I think you need to take some pics of a medium sized disabled mecha lying on
it's back. You could have lotsa robotic arms repairing it and stuff. Or it
could be just hauling the good back to the repair hanger.
I approve. :-D
