The Ogre was designed to replace the older Pandora MBT’s in the Union. It’s larger, heavier, and more expensive to produce than any previous tank I’ve made.
Short history
After a few small inland wars the Pandora’s became obselete. Mostly because the rebels made better, bigger and more tanks than before. In order to win the conflict and prevent a civil war, the war ministry decided to make a newer more heavier tank that could replace the older tanks and take the role as an MBT. The prototype was equiped with a new petrusite gun, and after a demonstration the tank got the green light for mass production, and thus replacing the older tanks.
It was designed to win a 1 VS 1 tank battle with most other tanks. However, like any other tank, it can’t deal with many or even more powerfull units.
About this creation
Side view, the armour on the side skirts have some packs of reactive armour on it (the 2X2 tiles)
Back view, the external fuel tank was needed to make the range bigger of the tank. Also you can see the two exhausts.
Turret turned, on the back you can see the air filters (the black round tiles).
Turret with the tusk missile pods next to it. These can shoot down larger rockets and even some lighter air units.
The hatch can open so a minifig can mount the twin barrel machine gun.
The gun can elevate thanks to an external hydrolic system, this was done because the gun was too heavy to lift it without it.
The turret can be taken of
The front hatch can open, however this is almost never done in battle, or when it got's destroyed.
Back view without the fuel tank, revealing a hatch
The hatch can open and reveal the engine which can be taken out.

The engine, giving the tank it's power also it's easy to replace
Upper hull taken out, revealing the interior.
The driver and hull machine gun operator, they can view the battlefield through the binoculars before their helmets. also in the left corner is the commander, giving instructions to the rest of the crew which they recieve with their helmets.
In this view you can see the gunner in the middle with the gunner station. Also here is the loading device (the black thing with the red eye) which gives ammo to a machine that transports it up to the turret where it is stored before it's loaded with an automatic loader and fired. With this system the tank can fire much faster than most tanks. However the ammo inside the turret can give quite a blow when breached.
Engine with fuel tanks, the black ones are oil while the light blue ones are petrusite injection tanks
Overview
Here compared to my light tank and a minifig, the size of it looks even more immense with the now looking dummitive light tank.
And last the tank in action
The tank is based on this one, because I like the design so much I copied it and Brickville-ized it http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/45051

This thing looks so good. I think it would be very scary to have to fight one of these. I love the size of the cannon, but the turret looks a bit small compared to the cannon. You did a good job. 5/5 |

Superb tank! An excellent replication of Lee Jones' with your own artistic flair adding a terrific effect! The only problem is, nobody else seems to have noticed it! Question: Do you mind if I use your suspension technique (I will be sure to give full credit to you) on my tank?
Thanks, I'm not really active in the community so not many people may know me. Ofcourse you can use it, when I put something on the internet I'm happy to help other people :) |
