funny thing about this project.  While it looks as
if there's significant alteration to the tortoise I
actually didn't make a single cut or paint ap to
the cannon tortoise.  This project is entirely
in the part.  The bulk of the shell add on is the 
battery cover from the elephander.  The rear area
is halves of the elephander's larger head while filled
in with the cockpit cover from the smaller one.  The
satelite is also from the elephander as well
as other various plastic pieces cut to shape and placed
to fill in the gaps.

The cannons are actually from a transformer knockoff
of Onslaught the leader of the combaticons sub team who
formed bruticus.  the missiles are made by gluing 
together several large stabalizer caps and placing
a blox joint in the end.

It's mounted by using the slide on moint from the attack
unit which is used to attach that particular part to
the cannon tortoise.  I just glued it into the underside
of the part.  Finally I painted the command unit
in millitary olive drab.

what you can't see is that there's a secondary pilot's seat inside the command unit made from the seat of 
a heldigunner's rear facing antiaircraft gun.
