Homage

This is a very cool homage to one of my favourite vehicles. The Star Wars description (The Unknown Regions, page 50) is even a close rewording of the original Popular Science article about the real Landmaster. (Examples below) —MJBurrage(T•C) 19:37, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Real life Star Wars
Name Landmaster (often confused with the ARK II) ARK II Series Landmaster
Builder Jeffries Automotive Styling Jaffryes Universal Automotive
Suspension Features four sets of tri-star wheels which actually enable it to crawl over boulders it could not drive over. "Using four sets of tri-wheels, the Landmaster can handle any terrain just as ably as a tracked vehicle,"
Amphibious "Can operate in water and will remain sealed when fully submerged. Can float while half full of water" "also operates while completely submerged, retaining buoyancy even when the interior is half filled with water."
Drive "Three independent drive sources" "redundant engine array"
Repairs Designed to use as many standard truck parts as possible, so that any junkyard would have whatever was needed for repairs. "Another factor in the Landmaster's favor is the ease of using third-party replacement parts when extensive repairs are necessary."
  • Regardless of your opinion, we can't include speculation in the BTS section. We have no canon proof that the ARK-II is based on the real world Landmaster, so it CAN'T be stated. Sorry. <- Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 19:41, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
