Because I wanted to.
About this creation
After the success of the T.L.A. (Three Letter Acronym)'s Hr-35 design, the T.L.A.'s engineers turned their attention toward creating a combat-worthy dropship for T.L.A. ground troops. The Hr-27, capable of carrying up to 5 troops in a detachable drop pod, is the culmination of that effort. After taking these shots I am going to take this apart and rebuild the Hr-35, I liked that ship better.
Top.
Front. The front end was taken more or less completely from the Hr-35 design.
Side. The engines were originally supposed to rotate, but they can't because of all the detail I built up around them.
The Hr-27 retains the Hr-35's retractable landing gear, although the rear wheels' stowed position is different now.
Rear view, showing the drop pod door and the drop pod's attached single shot grenade launcher, which is usually loaded with a smoke grenade to provide visual cover when the troops exit the pod.
Drop pod on the ground, detached. No parachute failures since 2192!
A side view of the vehicle minus the drop pod. The Hr-27 is not very sturdy (especially compared with the 35, which was). The connection between the drop pod holder and the cockpit section is the most vulnerable point in the structure.

Very nice in terms of shape. The colors could be a bit more uniform and contained, but I guess you don't have all the parts needed ... |

As others said the pod is a cool feature ! I also love the little white wings behind the cockpit. Nice work !

There's nothing in there, it's just a bunch of bricks and a studded floor. |

I love the cockpit and the engines, but the name's what kills me. I would have called it something stupid, like the Iron Orangutan. ~LL |

Hey, that's pretty cool! You should have a picture of the drop pod interior. |

Excellent ship! I love the color scheme and cockpit, and the escape pod function is just plain cool. Nice Moc!
