You need a vehicle to patrol your planetary outpost? Something that is maneuverable where speed isn't a factor? Try the Explorien Hovertron. It's a small ship that can provide a smooth ride over almost any terrain. Although not armed to the teeth, the Hovertron offers a small laser gun, small satellite dish flap, and a hand-held weapon.

The Hovertron is the smallest Explorien vehicle sold in the United States. At $2.99, it makes a nice gift for that cousin you have to get something for. The entire set sits on top of a round disc. On either side, you'll find jet engines for forward acceleration. On the back, there's a signature Explorien radar dish piece. Although it's most likely intended to be some sort of radar dish, it looks more like the back of the spaceman's seat. On the front, just above the mounted laser cannon, there's an adjustable handlebar which can fit a standing or sitting pilot. Finally, on the top of one engine, you'll find a typical Explorien star hologram.
There's not really much to this set. If you want to have a lot of patrol ships for your space outpost, you might consider this set. You can get quite a few pretty cheaply.
