I am wrapping up my BattleForce2000 ground vehicles with the Marauder and the Eliminator. Just the Vector and Vindicator to go.
I decided to focus on the aesthetics of the basic vehicles rather than reproduce the better-in-theory-than-practice Future Fortress. I'm really happy how these turned out!
"The Marauder is part of G.I.Joe's efforts to develop and expand its unmanned capabilities. The Marauder system comprises a tracked vehicle and a tactical scouting trike which can link together or operate independently as two separate vehicles. Each can be controlled remotely and has seating for two - a driver and a passenger or a remote operator. The crew of two can either operate each vehicle, with one driver in each vehicle, or they can both take their spots together on one of the vehicles and from there, the remote operator can control the other vehicle as an unmanned drone."

The Marauder motorcycle tank is a particularly strange-looking vehicle. I knew I wanted to keep the basic aesthetic look of it to keep it recognizable, and the big challenge was to come up with a plausible explanation for its design.
"The G.I.Joe team has a new 4X4 vehicle, designed specifically to survive blasts from lighter IEDs and landmines and make it back to base in one piece. It carries a crew of just two and is heavily armed with a remote weapons station mounting a 25mm autocannon."

Of all the BattleForce 2000 vehicles, the Eliminator was my least favorite, because it just seemed the least interesting - a vaguely futuristic looking jeep. I've redesigned it into something a little more like a light MRAP and really like how it turned out.
