Too much gas, overkill weaponry. 2/10 impractical.

[–]Razbu1337[S] 54 points55 points ago

Would not bang?

[–]Kreivi 22 points23 points ago

Killcount high - go out with a big fucking bang.

[–]IAmA_Zombie 2 points3 points ago

Might as well. Even if I was the last man on earth no woman would wanna repopulate the earth with me.

[–]im_tw1g 1 point2 points ago

cause you are a zombie?

[–]CowzGoezMoo -1 points0 points ago

Love the tank bro.

[–]thingsomething 7 points8 points ago

This is the zombie equivalent of a snow plow. While it wouldn't clear the streets, those meat grinder tracks would destroy any zombie it ran over. Every city should have one.

[–]Docster87 2 points3 points ago

That's what I was going to say. I can already see those tracks grinding up some skulls terminator style.

[–]nodnodwinkwink -1 points0 points ago

Have them kitted out to be remote controlled and rumble around the streets at night.

[–]s3rious_simon -1 points0 points ago

It doesn't use gas, as it has no engine :D. the weapons are fake, too.

[–]captureMMstature 45 points46 points ago

Next you'll be telling us zombies aren't real and this whole sub-reddit is a novelty.

[–]galletto3 7 points8 points ago

HA! Yea, like i would waste hours of my life talking and think about things that arent real! Are you telling me i bought this expensive Gerber apocalypse kit for yard work? When the end of the world comes i will remember you fondly!

[–]s3rious_simon 1 point2 points ago

Posting a picture of a scrap metal sculpture and declaring it a vehicle is in my opinion just like posting this with the title "I bet this guy will give me a lift during the zombie apocalypse": It does not make any sense. Got my point ?

[–]robotevil -5 points-4 points ago

Ha, like anyone wouldn't believe zombies are real. I don't think anyone is that crazy.

Edit: oh shit, double negative typo, sorry guys.

[–]im_tw1g 3 points4 points ago

ಠ_ಠ fuck you.

[–]robotevil 0 points1 point ago

For what? I think people might have misread my statement...

Edit: Nope, my fault, double negative typo. Sorry guys, I wasn't trying to be a dick :-/.

[–]John_Napier 0 points1 point ago

Your level of dick can be expressed as (where t=trying, and n=neckbeard):

O(n) = t ^ log n

[–]CowzGoezMoo -1 points0 points ago

Dude is always like that most of the time. Which is why I stopped being friends with him. :l

[–]CowzGoezMoo -1 points0 points ago

That's because terrorists are dicks either way!

For being 35 your level of dumb still keeps increasing as well.

[–]The_IV 11 points12 points ago

Looks like a Transformer:D

[–]s3rious_simon 0 points1 point ago

More like a Decepticon ..

edit: noticed: this comment doesn't make sense .

[–]gjallerhorn 18 points19 points ago

Decepticons ARE Transformers.

[–]Omphaloskepsiss 0 points1 point ago

I upvoted only because you admitted it instead of just deleting it so nobody would know what was going on.

[–]Cutsprocket 20 points21 points ago

but how do you carry supplies or even fuel it

[–]Razbu1337[S] 9 points10 points ago

You can always use a trailer I guess.

[–]Kreivi 44 points45 points ago

Just imagining the screeching sound of destruction and drums of mayhem as this beast ravages the land and stains the ground with blood of the infected - all while pulling a box trailer.

[–]Pyromoose 13 points14 points ago

i imagined it with a teardrop sleeper hooked on back...i laughed audibly

[–]apox64928 3 points4 points ago

screeching sound of destruction and drums of mayhem

... Attracting every singLe walker for miles.

[–]Tetha 1 point2 points ago

... in order to maximize the destruction efficiency by minimizing downtime.

[–]zingiah 2 points3 points ago

stopping every 10 minutes to get out and refuel

[–]CouragePope 4 points5 points ago

Is that a metal slug?

[–]Naberius 5 points6 points ago

From the looks of what's more or less randomly welded inside the tracks, I'm guessing this looks nice, but doesn't actually move.

[–]DPAS 6 points7 points ago

megatron

[–]loanwolf 6 points7 points ago

The Toyota Hilux is by far my vehicle of choice:

[–]fappyday 2 points3 points ago

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Why in the hell won't they bring these to the USA? We could certainly use more fuel efficient vehicles. And damn near everyone hear drives a truck, at least in the south.

[–]deathchimp 0 points1 point ago

its a tacoma, your'e welcome.

[–]fappyday 0 points1 point ago

Nope. Different drivetrain altogether. Take a closer look; these are really cool trucks!

[–]Razbu1337[S] 1 point2 points ago

Why not Oliver?

[–]earwigy1990 5 points6 points ago

Good luck driving that on streets. I would rather The tumbler ;P lol

[–]Razbu1337[S] 1 point2 points ago

Considering the streets will be filled with crashed/unused cars, bodies and whatsoever, I'll stick to my choice. :)

[–]earwigy1990 4 points5 points ago

You've seen batman! This baby will roll on top of all that like nada!

[–]Razbu1337[S] 1 point2 points ago

But... what if Heath Ledger is one of the zombies?

[–]IAmA_Zombie 0 points1 point ago

Plus if you're stuck in the streets just pop out the batbike for an easy get away.

[–]earwigy1990 1 point2 points ago

True, but very few situations would require such action because the Tumbler jumps and can drive on top of vehicles. That thing is almost indestructible lol.

[–]fg33473r2d2 8 points9 points ago

Holy shit.

[–]s3rious_simon 6 points7 points ago

5 tons of scrap metal (Source)? I have seen better choices...

edit: under the aspect of art, this is great.

[–]Razbu1337[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the source.

[–]Jaques_Naurice 0 points1 point ago

Not so great under the aspect of a safe work environment. Picture 3, arc welding without any goggles.

[–]drgk 3 points4 points ago

Protip - just squint!

[–]Meathe 0 points1 point ago

"Why do my eyes feel like they're full of grit?"

[–]s3rious_simon 0 points1 point ago

That's china.

[–]SenatorVreenak 4 points5 points ago

Christ, what bunch of nitpickers.

That thing looks awesome.

[–]Freelancer47 1 point2 points ago

As someone who's spent a decent amount of time on an M3A2ODS: I'm just trying to imagine how much of a bitch having your track thrown would be...

[–]TonyDiGerolamo 1 point2 points ago

That looks cool. What the Hell is it?

[–]Layze 1 point2 points ago

Where does the food go?

[–]GGINQUISITOR 1 point2 points ago

Just gotta find a way to have it run on zombie guts. There's really fucked up info somewhere on the web on how you can use people as fuel (like burning fat/oil). I think it was from Nazis. If you could use that tech to power this monster, then I think you'd be unstoppable.

[–]jessej1996 4 points5 points ago

I can always count on the comments here to explain why all the coolest things I've ever seen are stupid.

[–]xxgoozxx 2 points3 points ago

Where can I get one of these? Seriously

[–]ewilliam 3 points4 points ago

In Fantasy Land.

[–]IAmA_Zombie 0 points1 point ago

Now do I take a left or just keep going down 71?

[–]im_tw1g 1 point2 points ago

Hang a left.

[–]bugeyedbaggins 1 point2 points ago

.02 gal./mile

[–]4merpunk 2 points3 points ago

That's not bad, are you sure you don't mean gal/.02mile.

[–]Waccakaka 0 points1 point ago

That vehicle seems to lack legspace as well as just comfort space. Does it carry cupholders?

[–]bookishboy 0 points1 point ago

Good god no, man! You do realize that being anywhere near this vehicle would be like running zombie parts through your kitchen blender without the lid on? Even if you managed to drive this thing through/past a crowd of undead, and have on a hazmat suit, gloves and goggles, you will then have to disembark a slippery, gore-encrusted vehicle with about a bajillion sharp protuberances. One slip and then your protective clothing and skin gets torn open on zombie-gut-covered tracks. This thing is an infection vector for anyone who drives it or has to wash it.

Avoid this at all costs and concentrate on blunt force trauma or reasonably-distanced firearms.

[–]Lessthanpete 0 points1 point ago

20 ft later..... "E"

[–]AliasUndercover 0 points1 point ago

If only it were mobile...

[–]Nerosquito 0 points1 point ago

Here's a video of the creation and creators. Unfortunately it is just art rather than mobile. They're huge fans of Transformers.

[–]Sidrenwada2 0 points1 point ago

make it 100% solar powered and i agree otherwise na

[–]thenewAltair 0 points1 point ago

If somebody could make this with solar power and still have enough destroying power, i would buy it, no matter the cost.

[–]_JxN 1 point2 points ago

I think a bike would be best.

[–]R4nd0mH3r0 0 points1 point ago

Ok, two things I would do with this beast if it was real and worked. First: Take all the weapons off of it to mount on the actual transports (on turrets hopefully).

Second: Set the tracked demon to be controlled via remote control with video cameras to see in front of it. Then use the behemoth to clear the roads of the infected. Plus you can always set it up with a Brush guard on the front to clear vehicles out of your way.

On a side note, you could always use this as a distraction to flee from whatever town you're in?

[–]Razbu1337[S] 0 points1 point ago

It's kind of real.

[–]mrBobBobJack 0 points1 point ago

God fucker. What uses could this vehicle have had?

[–]crooney36 0 points1 point ago

looks like youll be safe when the zombies come

[–]Frozgaar 0 points1 point ago

That thing would probably get about 5 miles per gallon. Good luck finding enough fuel for it.

[–]profgunnington 0 points1 point ago

I imagine the carnage left behind as it churns up the road & paving. Mwa ha ha ha haa, plowing.

[–]MageKraze 0 points1 point ago

But Megatron would never let you ride him.

[–]backward_z 0 points1 point ago

METAL SLUG

[–]CedarWolf 0 points1 point ago

This is very beautiful, in an orky sort of way. I might try doing something like that with the tank treads of my next Warhammer 40,000 model.

[–]Exilimer 0 points1 point ago

Hey thats Megatron, in his tank form.

[–]TheLonelyLeviathan 0 points1 point ago

DEATH TO ALL NON-BELIEVERS!!!

[–]Djsoundwave 0 points1 point ago

Lord Megatron!!? Why are you going to aid humans when they are eating each other off?!?

[–]SGTShow -1 points0 points ago

Is that the thing from Total Recall?

[–]Gamer_ely -1 points0 points ago

the distractor 9000

[–]Revverie -1 points0 points ago

I'm slightly disappointed with myself in that the first thing this reminded me of was a crawler from kid icarus...

[–]jherazob -3 points-2 points ago

I see you still haven't read the Zombie Survival Handbook.

[–]takoon -2 points-1 points ago

I just shit my pants. Give to me.

[–]FAMASuzer -2 points-1 points ago

Dang, megaton really got messed up be optimus prme!
