ziggleson T-12 armoured car concept
not the final design as of yet but one where the concept i do feel is about right.
the issue with the NOD buggy, humvee and many other similar vehicles was lack of flair. but researching deeper into westwood's line of RTS games and re-discovered Dune and with dune came very inspired vehicles: the quad and trike. NOD's attack bike was also quite inspired. recalling a certain tamiya car called the vice intruder, i figured a way to make a rather boring armoured car into something reasonably balanced and fun in theory.

the ziggleson armoured car is a confederate 8 wheeled armoured car that is equipped to take on almost anything, although speed is its hallmark. its 37mm flak guns can hit aircraft and infantry well enough but to punch out tanks it has anti-tank missiles. there is a trade off however, the ziggleson is very lightly armoured and a few shells from any tank will knock it out right quick. so, an ingenious solution was devised; a high speed mode. the car simply collapses itself into a more stream line shape and let's loose with its powerful engine. for stability in that mode, the engine is in the middle of the car, closer to the floor. 8 wheels ensure that it will be stable in this mode and prove to be an excellent platform when in its attack mode to launch missiles from or shoot down aircraft.
