For my graduating portfolio Im going to make a 4min long teaser video for a game concept that i have. This is a silhouette/early concept art that i have for some of the vehicles that i want to have in the video. NOT all of these are going to make it in to the video, i want to put about 8 total vehicles in to it. i have a few more to draw out. let me know what you think.

Anvil Hill AHC-242 Tiger Barb and variants
The Tiger Barb chassis, chassis ID# AHC-242 is one of the more interesting vehicle concepts thought up by Anvil Hills engineers. Developed to mobilize their 120mm AHMGG (Anvil Hill Massive Gatling Gun). This craft can be tough to control due to the weapons kick. To help minimize the weapons kick, it rotates at a slower speed and the weapon has advanced stabilization fields. However it still takes a skilled pilot to fly the Tiger Barb. The Tiger Barb requires powerful engines to produce enough trust to get it up to combat speed.
The vehicle has taken on a role as a fast hit hard and run vehicle against bigger targets, but in can withstand prolonged dogfights. Anvil Hill uses it to raid deep in to rival corporations territory. It works well for taking out cargo transports.
The tiger barb hit the professional race scene with outstanding results. It is quite maneuverable and whatever it cannot out shoot it can generally out run, with the proper engines. Many times racers can not get their hands on AHMGG (Anvil Hill Massive Gatling Gun). So crews sometimes replace this with a Proton torpedo launcher or a rail cannon. The most interesting replacement was when racer Terry Shwine Balocker replaced the Gatling gun with a massive turbine jet, and increased the size of the nose section and added engine thrust exhaust ports After Hill ling engineers got wind of this they produced their own version, the AHC-251D Mustang.
For the Mustang the Gatling gun was replaced with a huge version of their Ion engine. The bridge compartment was made more aerodynamic and moved slightly forward on the chassis. The craft was given smaller sponsors. Also the side engines were removed to improve aerodynamics. The real kicker is the Scram Jet mounted under the chassis. Once the Ion engine brings the mustangs speed up to Mach 3 the scram jet can take the Mustang up to Mach 5.5. The AHC-251D Mustang hence is one of the fastest craft that a racer can get his hands on and an extremely dangerous raider to other corporations.

I plan on retexturing this
i have not figured that out yet...yet. but the idea is that is its so much bigger that it can just smash smaller ships out of the way. the ram will have two sides two so it can also grab smaller vehicles and then the saw under the front section will come up and cut it in half.
