Description[edit | edit source]
The Claw-Tank[edit | edit source]
The Claw-Tank is armed with a clamp arm, a blaster arm, a rocket launcher on top of the cockpit and a firing "energy disk" launcher. The upper half of the claw tank swivels 360 degrees. The lower half has working suspension for the treads and two translucent orange pods; one for holding crystals and the other for holding an alien.
The Alien Fightercraft[edit | edit source]
The fightercraft is semicircular in shape, and has several laser-rockets attached to each side of the semicircle. Protruding from the middle of the ship is a small cockpit into which an Alien Drone can be fit.
