“Small vehicle with four jets, positioning thrusters, and an articulated grabber arm piloted by a red astronaut with a walkie-talkie. Sort of like a space backhoe? Compact but functional. Love the grabber jaws. Four of the new engine “strakes” provide support and thrust. The... More new clip light plate is used to mount the transparent red headlights.”
