Aerial Intruder was clearly inspired by Futuron’s Stardefender 200 from 1987. Both have detachable twin pods to either side of a large central windscreen.


Through a clever brick-built mechanism, raising the central windshield on the Aerial Intruder lowers the ramp, allowing the two mini rovers to roll out. Lowering the windshield then raises the ramp.

Aerial Intruder, 1991. Blacktron II flagship has twin detachable fighter pods, twin mini rovers, and a jet pack stashed in the rear.




M:Tron’s Mega Core Magnetizer has a steering mechanism manipulated via a large radar dish.

Spectral Starguider has a clever rear steering mechanism.
