Aviatrix 2037 - RPG Luxury Grasshopper

Updated here.

Luxury, Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., 4 PR Tires, Mini-Copter PP, Grasshopper Equip., Driver; Laser in UM pop-up turret, HRTC, 110 pts plastic armor F25 B20 R20 L20 T5 U20; HC 3, Acc. 5, 6600 lbs., $46,300

Design Notes - I guess I was fascinated by grasshoppers back then. And I guess I found out soon that they really suck.

Orthoclase 2062 - RPG Luxury Grasshopper (Updated)

Luxury (C/A frame), Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., 4 FP PR-Radial Tires, Small Copter PP, Driver; Grasshopper Equip, Laser front, HRSWC, Radar Detector & Jammer, 10 gas/chaff dischargers, 6 laser reactive webs (hooked to SmD), 10 pts FP CA around driver & PP, 10 pts WG/WH; 4 bumper triggers, 136 pts FP plastic Armor: F23 B23 R25 L25 T15 U25; HC 4, Acc. 5, 6600 lbs., $68,435.80

Design Notes - This is an update of this 2037 car. The biggest changes are to use a C/A frame, which significantly added armor. It was possible to augment the weapons - missiles are always nice - but I felt I couldn't spare the weight. I used the space by sloping the armor.

Orthoclase 2037 - RPG Luxury Grasshopper

Luxury, Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., 4 HD Tires, Small Copter PP, Driver; Grasshopper Equip, Laser front, OJ (25/reg) back, SS (10/back), Hi-Res Computer, Long Distance Radio, Radar, 84 pts plastic Armor: F20 B15 R15 L15 T0 U19; HC 3, Acc. 5, 6600 lbs., $50,880

Design Notes - Wow, what the heck was I thinking?? An OJ & SS in a helicopter?! I guess my teenage cheekiness, thinking I was so clever, that I'd fool people into thinking that it wasn't a grasshopper with those weapons. This was before decent fake weapons rules, maybe. Also when weapons needed to have full ammo loads?

Name Notes - This is the original name. It shows that I was deep into my Earth Science studies then.
