Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The vehicle uses two plates that snap together and can swing back and forth as the chassis. I really like the plates because they allow the vehicle to be much more maneuverable. A pretty simple design but it looks nice. The set came in a value pack so there were no alternate... More models shown.”

“The Mobile Satellite Up-Link is one of the smallest M-Tron sets. Its two portions are connected by a hinge, allowing for more flexible movement. The front portion has a control panel, while the back is a communications array.”
