SPECIAL FEATURES
Top-mounted[SIZE=10pt], full 360° turreted grenade motor this feature can be [/SIZE]remote-controlled by either driver or passenger. It can be loaded with a total of seven grenades with one in the chamber.
Forward fixed, grill mounted DEMP Ion Carbines can be controlled by the driver or the passenger.
Short-Range Phantom Jammer, L8 Sensor Dampener and a modified Personal Shield to fit the vehicle [SIZE=10pt]give[/SIZE] the Marty a chance to jam sensors and stay safe in tricky situations.
McFly: Very fast speeds [SIZE=10pt]give[/SIZE] the Marty an amazing feel when going down in a straight line. While Marty might not outrun other extreme rated speeders, it’ll definitely reach 88 MPH or about 142 KPH.
Great Scott: We’re sure there’s a fine fellow named Scott, but [SIZE=10pt]the Marty[/SIZE] has a few weapons to its name including remote-controlled grenade mortar that’s been modified for the vehicle. It also features two built-in DEMP Ion Carbines.
Hold on, Doc: The Marty only has a personal shield and while it’s modified - it isn’t the [SIZE=10pt]best rated[/SIZE] defense. Careful while you’re out there - or you just might McFly yourself right out of existence.
Flying Cars of 2015: While [SIZE=10pt]the Marty[/SIZE] can get some serious air and roar over the land with its repulsorlift engine, EMP and Ion weapons are going to hurt a lot. So just remember, if you get hit by one of those - you probably won’t be back to the future.
Another speeder, another day - Scoobert’s Motorhut got another contract from the Sith Empire. This time they whipped up something pretty special. Originally Scoobert’s called it the DeLorean but the Empire didn’t feel like paying up for the name - so it was simply called Marty. We’re pretty sure this is because the guy working on it was named Marty.
At any rate, Scoobert’s Motorhut whipped up a pretty snazzy frame while the artists of the Sith Empire added the weapons. Taking a little look at a few [SIZE=10pt]holo games[/SIZE] that featured speeders with weapons they decided to take a gamble. Throwing out the cargo capacity if there ever was such a thing and began running weapon controls the dashboard.
Small defense features were also included but given the space [SIZE=10pt]restrictions[/SIZE], it wouldn’t be the best. Still, between the Guild and the Motorhut, both sides were quite sure. The Marty if anything could outrun most of its opponents. They left a message to the folks who would be manning the speeder, the future hasn’t been written yet, and to make their future a good one.
