I was bored...

[Dreadnought]

I just watched Space Balls again with friends. Got bored of doing engineering type of stuff and have always been a bit of a sci Fi buff. I thought what a great parody space craft Capt Lonestars Eagle 5 is in Space Balls. I wondered what a similar comedy parody of a 60s MC5 would look like. I wanted to keep it looking somehow period so used bits off contemporary mythical space craft:







Ok, I'll start taking my pills again

Awesome. The top one must be the BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL..........
Very creative.......

Just in case someone doesn't remember the Eagle 5 from Space Balls:




Eagle 5 was named after 'Red5' from Star Wars and the Millenium Falcon.

I assume its engines are made by Detroit.   That must be why they have extra cooling ducts in the front.

Yep! 2 stroke Detroit space engines that overheat in the absolute zero of space!

Would it be Warp Factors or Warped Factors?

I'll bet that contraption hanging off the bottom of the rear quarter is a diesel particulate trap.  That would make it possible for those space guys to cross through the space above Kalifornia

I would note one design flaw in several of the pictures: the placement of the rear engine make it difficult to get to the rear tires.

The DPF is infact space fuel- like the Schwartz! And it them dumps it when flying over Kalifornia!

It can swivel out of the way! ;-)

Ok, now I want to see what a "Matrix" MCI would look like!
That would be one awesome bus.

I was bored again...and there was this alien flying saucer, right,....and he was chasing me...

Thanks!

I'm thinking of making it into a license plate actually. The MC5s have an aperture for two at the back!

Is that beam gaining on you? Are you twin turbo (at least!)? Cool stuff...
