Timelapse from first to final version

Final version
Chaos Tank eats two player bombs without flinching; keeps driving, fires entire arsenal; drives over environment bomb, /still keeps driving./
Main warp cannon fires four shots with automatic reload. Ten upper and ten lower cannons, six free side drones, two cabled back drones, two chaos engines. 2423 components, of which only the cogs are flammable. Pretty rad, if I may say so myself. :v
v51
The Chaos Tank is coming along well, so I'm just gonna keep this thread running. The frame is completed, but I still need to do the gears, chaos engines and main forward cannon. It currently has eight small front cannons, six side drones, two back drones and damn near 360 degree saw coverage on its underside.
Getting the wheels to not collapse under the weight of the thing was the biggest problem. I didn't realize braces had flat mass (0.5) rather than scaling on distance, so I had to be more economical about that than I hoped. I slapped a chassis plus some weapons and armor together for the video, but everything in between the two wheels is temporary (and already gone).
v18
Based on what I learned from the Chaos Wheel, I'm making a Chaos Tank. I got impatient midway, though, and slapped some armor and weaponry on it, even though it doesn't actually have a chaos engine yet. It's neat!
