Megaera Light Attack Fighter
07/29/2002
The Megaera is used by the Space Corps of Taiaphus (the same home planet as Kryllen T'Loria and the Sierra Lobo). It is built to be rugged and fast, and is camoflaged such that it can hide easily within the rocky crags of the planet's surface.
Its armament and engine systems are classified by the Taiaphan Government. They will, however, reveal that it is capable of sustained atmospheric and sublight flight, but it is not equipped with its own warp drive. The landing gear is equipped with the same traction plate technology as the Sierra Lobo, so it can cling to rocky precipices with ease.
Inspired by Jon Palmer's M-wing, and spurred on by a purchase of four Pahrak Va's at Brickfest, I decided I wanted to make use of those stubby little bionicle legs, as well as the other "specialized" bionicle pieces, in a Space creation. Part of it was to prove that a space builder can use pretty much any piece in a space creation, and make it look good and useful. Thus, I incorporated 8 legs, 4 masks, and 3 of those weird backpack/mask holders into this creation. Overall it took just a few hours to pull together.
