Do you have many of these sets? Both the Celestial Forager and the MCM have
very cool articulation/steering mechanisms. IMO, black and red with gray and
neon green is a great color scheme. The theme has a nice variety of
different vehicles: small, medium, and large wheeled vehicles, small,
medium, and large space ships, and even a helecopter (which is one of my
favorite space sets). The only thing M:Tron is missing is a base. But the
MCM is essentially a mobile base.

Are you suggesting the 15 feet diameter MCM wheels couldn't make it through a
snow drift?

I disagree. Most of the planets which are worthwhile to mine have extremely
unfavorable climates. Since they are space-going vessels, M:Tron ships would
be able to take the cold, while Ice Planet ships would not likely be able to
withstand the searing temperatures of M:Tron mining colonies.

Not likely. Ice Planet's offensive capabilities are essentially limited to
strategic missiles, which are just not very effective in an age of
space-based laser defenses.
At best Ice Planet could defend their own icy planet using missiles from
their bases and mobile rocket launchers. But how long are they going to last
on that planet without energy resources supplied by the M:Tron Corporation?
