It has been a long time since I have posted on the boards. Real life has that way of hitting you. I have come back with the intent on finishing the Land Operations units of the Centurions and then I want to re-visit the Horseman. I present the WILD WEASEL...

Here is the "heavy-hitter" of the Centurions' Land-Operations arsenal. This is the "big gun" that Jake Rockwell could call on. The Freeze cannons could do a wide array of things from freezing tidal waves to putting out fires etc etc etc.. The Spicer(?) Missles are heavy hitting long-range missles. I did not include a limiter on only having two, because on numerous occassions, Jake could call for a "Reload" and Crystal would simply beam down two more. SO... I figured that I would just say that he had missles. 'Nuf said. The Sonic Shield is designed as a sonic-based force field. The Sonic Ray Gun is, like the Freeze Cannons, one of those weapons that was never fully detailed, probably so the writers could be free to do what they wanted. I always envisioned it as a gun that used sound waves in-stead-of ammunition. This made the most sense to me.

This is one of the most stright-forward designs of any of the combat systems. It's a big digging tool. I think it was advertized as a subterrainian rescue unit. This ends the Land Operations' Combat Systems. Before anybody starts to complain... YES.. I know that there was another unit called Swingshot. IMHO it was lame! Two cannons and a few missles with a set of support wheels. I remember it came out towards the end of their run and I have always felt that it was just a quick trick to get kids to buy another unit. It really did not fit any niche. Detonator had the heavy weapons covered and Wild Weasel had the wheeled-vehicle slot filled. Like I said... It was a shelf-filler. If anybody REALLY wants to have all the systems... let me know and I will bang it out. Up next ..... Sea Operations.by Emerald Flame » Fri Aug 28, 2009 10:29 am
This is the basic Aquatic Operations package for a Centurion. In the cartoon show, this was Max Ray. This was Also the weapons system that came with the base toy.by Emerald Flame » Fri Aug 28, 2009 11:31 am
Here is the second step in the aquatic combat system ladder. This is the medium-response unit that was used most of the time. It granted the most flexibility and maneuverability while also offering higher levels of fire-power.by Tattooedman » Fri Aug 28, 2009 12:10 pm

This is an idea that I have been kicking around in the back of my head for a while. The original Horseman had two (2) parts. The Rider and the Horse. In later incarnations of the design, the horse went away and the suit was by itself. I thought that it would be interesting to have the horse return but not as part of the suit. This led to the idea making the horse an independant character. This is was the start of the idea. This is the first step in what should be a study in extreme engineering... This is the Nightmare component of the Horseman Ultra. Horseman Ultra consists of two (2) parts. The Horseman Armor and the Nightmare Unit. Nightmare transforms and creates a power-enhancing.. super-heavy armor system for the Horseman. Nightmare can then operate independantly when not combined. Picture is of Aussenseiter from Super Robot Wars... Just in case you were interestedby Emerald Flame » Mon Aug 31, 2009 9:22 am

This is the 'heavy weapon' for the sea operations. The mine on the back is the heavy hitter and the armor protection helps. From what I remember, this unit can also protect against the crushing depths of the ocean, allowing deep submergance.by Emerald Flame » Mon Aug 31, 2009 10:12 am
This is one of the combat systems that was introduced later in the series. I have this and it was fun to play with. It was supposed to be a high-speed surface unit. it was fast and agile but also packed a punch with six (6) missles/torpedoes.by Emerald Flame » Mon Aug 31, 2009 3:57 pm
This is the standard base-line unit for aerial operations. The speed is not as fast as most modern fighter jets, but considering the size, it is rather impressive. The missles can be replaced by teleporter as needed.by Emerald Flame » Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:02 pm
As far as build-costs go.. this unit is actually rather cheap. It is also the most specialized of all the weapon systems. It is designed for extra-atmospheric activities. In the show, Orbital Interceptor is frequently broken up and integrated with Skybolt. One of the most interesting components of the unit are the Particle Beam Emitters. I liked these, as they could be potentially very powerful. They can effectively control gravity!!

This is the heavy-hitter of the Aerial Support Systems. This unit is the Air Superiority system for the Centurions. It carries heavy missles, mini-cruise missles, pulse laser cannons and a freeze cannon (Don't ask... I don't know). The Orbital Interceptor is frequently mixed with Skybolt for very high altitude recon and combat.Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 6 guests
