The first mod is for spying and collecting data.  It's pretty small and simple.

Nice design.

The second is a personnel carrier.  I used rounded corners to try to make it
look appropriate for attaching to a pod.  It has the same kind of sockets in
the back as the pod does, so it can be part of a chain of modules.

Cool.  Although whether those 5 minifigs are really comfortable is still up
for debate. ;)

The third is a bomber that two pods attach to.  I guess we just saw one of
those, but oh well.  They were fun to make.  I've got plans for at least a
few more, too.

Very neat.  I like the idea.  Once the mission is done, if they came under
heavy fire, the two pods could just split off and make their gettaway.
