Large spaceships 1987-91
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.

Spectral Starguider has shock absorbers on the front four of its six wheels.
