Aegaeon 2057 - Div20 Midsized (Galaxy, Updated)

Midsized, Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., Super PP (PC & SC), 4 Solid Tires, Driver (no equip); RL (10/reg) in turret, MD (10/reg) back, ramplate, SWC, HDHTM & overdrive (linked), safety seat, 4 oil dischargers (FBRL) 6 smoke dischargers (2T, 2U, 1R 1L): linked to 4 bumper triggers (to oil & also linked to that side's weapons); 1 total link, 39 pts total for WG/WH, 9 pts LRFP CA around driver, 186 pts Plastic Armor: F 50 (ram) B 33 R 35 L 35 T 18 U 15; HC 3, Acc. 10 (HDHTM 20/Overdrive 5), Top 122.5 (80/142.5), Pwr 2990, 5758.6 lbs., $20,791.00

How to reduce to div20:
  • Option 1- dischargers are now 9 foam, remove overdrive, CA is LR not LRFP, add 1 pt WG/WH: 5757.6 lbs, $20,000 even
  • Option 2- like original; add HD brakes, armor is 71 pts composite (29 LR Metal/42 Plastic): F 8/8 (ram), B 6/5 L 7/5 R 7/5 T 1/4 U 0/15, 5758.6 lbs, $19,683
  • Div25 Laser Option - Midsized, Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., Super PP (PC & SC), 4 Solid-Radial Tires (11dp), Driver (no equip); RL (10/reg) in turret, TL in turret, LGL to 10 rockets, MD (10/reg) back, ramplate, HDHTM, safety seat, 4 oil dischargers (FBRL) 6 smoke dischargers (2T, 2U, 1R 1L): linked to 4 bumper triggers (to oil & also linked to that side's weapons); 39 pts total for WG/WH, 9 pts LRFP CA around driver, 71 pts composite (29 LR Metal/42 Plastic): F 8/8 (ram), B 6/3 L 6/3 R 6/3 T 0/15 U 0/11;  HC 4, Acc. 10 (HDHTM 20), Top 122.5 (80), Pwr 2990, 5756.6 lbs., $24,767.00

Design Notes -  This is an update of this original:
Midsized, Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., Large PP, 4 Solid Tires, Driver (no equip); RL (20/reg) in turret, MD (10/reg) back, ramplate, FE, HRTC, 218 pts sloped Plastic Armor: F 50 (ram) B 40 R 40 L 40 T 28 U 20; HC 3, Acc. 5, Top 90, Pwr 2000, 5759 lbs., $19,338.00

The original design was terrible.  It was div20 because, without the advanced tools available today, I didn't know what to do to make $15,338 into div15... And of course, the freakin' ramplate. I looooooved ramplates. 

So the main entry is an attempt to keep the same basic design with the (a) ramplate, (b) turreted RL, (c) MD; but in order to substantiate the ramplate, I need more acceleration.  And while there may be not enough room for rollcages, I think a safety seat is a general must for ram-cars, and possibly every car.

Name Notes - Aegaeon is the most recently discovered moon of Saturn, and is a monster from Greek mythology ("one of the hecatonchires", see here).
