Description

A tank with a rescue job

The name joins two things you rarely see together: a tank built for rescue missions. That gives the set a play idea of its own, one that is not only about battles but also about recovery and help. Two minifigures act as the crew. At 347 pieces the model is mid-sized, and the machine stays compact enough to pick up and play with without worrying about it falling apart in your hands. The crew can be lifted out and swapped, so rescue and recovery scenes are easy to stage.

Blue and white over dark grey

The colour choice stands out from many gloomy war machines: blue and white dominate, while dark bluish grey and black bring technical detail and contrast. It looks more like a rescue vehicle from the future than a pure combat unit. On a shelf the combination gives a clean look, and during the build the colour blocks make it easy to tell sub-assemblies apart at a glance, even under poor lighting.

Technical detail

The 347 pieces include 112 different elements, a high share of specialist parts. In the Exo-Force range that usually means joints, weapon mounts, armour plates and accessories that make the machine articulated and expressive. It asks for some patience during the build but rewards it with a model that stands well apart from simple vehicles and offers many details to discover, even after you have played with it several times.

Parts list and reuse

The blue and white armour plates in particular suit vehicles and robots of your own, and the dark grey joints are useful in any collection that deals with movable, articulated constructions of any kind.
