I was never a fan of the original Maggot. I didn't like the articulated joint in the middle or the weird design of the gun that could mysteriously come off the back somehow. I also didn't like the magic wand looking laser cannon. I decided to build something that could fit in with the earlier years of ARAH and line up side by side with the Hiss. I added a shield for the driver that also helps to give it a different look. I cut the silly legs off the rear gun and added a bigger cannon from the Slugger. I decided to leave the middle joint as it is so it could drop off the rear half if needed. I went with a flat black with red and white decals. I painted a few small detail but I might still paint more like the seats. One thing I don't have is a name for it, Maggot just doesn't seem to fit anymore so I am hoping you guys can help me out. The winner gets bragging rights.

I don't have a name for it but it's definitely cool. It's got a HISS support vehicle look now.

The Maggot and Mean Dog are vastly underrated vehicles, imho. They're some of the best in the whole line, if you ask me. This submission tells me that what holds them back is their original paint schemes, because this looks extremely cool.

If you're trying to synergize it with the v1 HISS (and Stinger, don't forget that!), maybe call it the COBRA Venom?

That is very cool. Looks much more frightening now. With a cannon like that I'd call it the Hail Mary, or an evil version the Hell Mary. LOL, first thing that came to mind.

To be accurate, it's not a tank, it's a self-propelled cannon.

If you don't like MAGGOT, how about LARVA? Long-range Articulated Rapid Velocity Artillery.

Excellent work, by the way. It's very crisp and clean and looks great.

For some reason a feel like Scorpion could be a good time.

That's really good, but didn't Cobra already have a Scorpian? Still I like that a lot.
