Like any other vehicle of this era, this is a conventional diesel driven design... not many of them left, those which are are often standing still due to the lack of fuel, and the lucky owner is forced to use beasts of burden to tow them around. Originally designed to explore the ever groving deserts in the late 21st centuary, these 4x4s are designed to handle allmost any kind of environment, non-flat tires and rugged suspension is the maine strongsuites of the design!

So there's my entry...
The entire earth is flooded in cause of global warm-up. This ship was designed as a simple, small vehicle capable to travel quickly between the floating cities. It is powered by a small, but powerful hydrogen-fuelled engine. The hydrogen is collected from water. The passengers get in when the force field is lowered (the ship don't uses glass for the cockpit). The field is lowered when stays in contact with air for more than 10 seconds (This value can be changed).

The StarBus TL-12 "Star Troli"

In a peaceful future where humanity has managed not to destroy itself, technology has advanced to the point where it is irrelevant if You want to go to the other side of the city, or the other side of the solar system. A StarBus can bring You there.

Before the great war, scientists were dangerously experimenting with mutagenic substance on spiders, to develop new materials and technologies from there naturally strong webbing. In the aftermath of the total destruction of civilization, these mutated spiders survied, mutated, and evolved for a hundred years into what is now known as the hook-back spider. The survivors utilized these spiders for tranportation and as beasts of burden. The spider mount is well suited for scavaging the waste lands and rubble of the great cities for lost technologies. The basic spider mount is rigged with a carriage that rotates when climbing steep and verticle surfaces. The spider mount can be fitted with a cargo rack, and a camera and view screen, not seen for obvious reasons.


Sorry this so late. Got busted at work and lost about six hours I thought I would have. I will understand if it is too late.

In whats left of the cities, the terrain is mostly impassable, ground travel is perilous.

Using some advanced genetic engineering on an irradiated mutant breed of bugs, a new species was specifically developed for ease of travel. Cybernetic implants are inserted during its development to make it easier to control and more comfortable to ride.

The year is 2079, the Earth has been ravaged by a failed attempt to stop an incoming "Armageddon Asteroid". Sufficed to say, sharp toxic asteroid fragments litter the wasteland, making it dangerous to make contact with the ground. The Magnacar by Sulvana, skims over the land using a projected EM field to pull itself forward, and standard anti-grav technology to hover. ladder extends to disembark.

The magnetic exhaust is then given a neutral charge and channeled to the 12 spikes that protrude from the magnetic generator. Due to the fact there are not many computers left on Earth, EMI is not a problem. Magnacars are only for the Upper class that can afford them, and are considered a luxery. It can seat up to 7 people in a compartment at the front.

well where to start, my texturing is horrid and my modelling is OK.

Regardless, here is the voidrunner, and old desert mining facility converted to
a wastelands transport, one of the few mostly whole pieces of "old tech" that survived the nanite wars of 2270.

Many lives were lost, but many also survived, buried deep underground in suspension chambers completely isolated from the outside, re-awakened the survivors, some of them made it out, but most fell to the mutant bands that plauge the now irradiated wastelands of the planet earth, the voidrunner is a re-fitted omni-corp Versatile Outlands Integrated Defense platform or Void.

She runs a maximus systems supercharged prometheum 9KLv
Generating more than 500,000 horsepower and close to a million ft pounds of torque. the engine uses a nanitrolene/air/monoxide mix to create a miniature "nova" in each cylinder.

The defense batteries are a mix of flak, nanite shellers, and stub guns.
The void runner runs two tokomak type XVI reactors,which are smaller than a human fist but have the power of 3 nuclear missles, they rarely need to be maintained.

The owner Jacob khaine, found the void runner buried in an old military base by accident, He was being chased by a factionist and stumbled upon the crashed starship that had this in it's heavies bay.

Omni-corp knows of it's existence and is constantly trying to reclaim it to gain access to it's AI, which holds a data key that would run a machine capable of restoring the biosphere on earth, and sending A distress signal to alpha centauri, which was a refuge for the remnants of the devastated earth.

However, in the wrong hands the key could also activate a device that would make the user of the device a God on earth.

The webcomic i am using this model for is called Dark Risings,
It might be done in the next month or so....

The Getabout
2020 World War III has come to an end with the USA and Russia using a secret stock pile on ICBM. No major city has been left standing. The survivors of the war have returned to the cities looking for food and shelter form the nuclear winter that has started.
The surviving 4x4 are not able to get over the rumble of the cities, so the was built using what was at hand. The main body his form a earthmover with the cab and flatbed of a truck built on top. A generator is fitted to the back of the cab to power a crane with hook and the Getabout weapons which have been ripped of Tanks left over form the war.
The Getabout weapons are two hybrid 38 calber guns and two Sam Rocket launchers. The rocket launchers are used to clear rubble the Getabout can not get over or round.
The Getabout has been fitted with a plow to front to move rubble.
The Getabout can be run on petrol but seeing as there is a limited supply it normal run off cooking oil.

Humankind found themself new homeworld after the polution on earth reached deadly limits. Population is low and spread throughout the continents. Getting to high-tech is not easy and when supply ships are closing many families have to travel thousands of kilometers to the starports. For this many self bustled vehicles was created. This is an conversion of old school bus. Using AG plates, which are very cheap to get.
