Elintseeker
Macross and Jetfire were the inspiration of this Tech. The VE-1 Elintseeker is the coolest of the 1/55 Valkyries in my opinion and it has box art that was conducive to making a custom Tech. You think Fort Max is expensive, try getting this baby MISB. I kept the name since it is still pretty good, and a lot better than Super Ostrich. The head and design of the body reminded my a little of Shockwave, so I decided to connect them as allies. The function is similar to Jetfire's "Air Guardian" role. The large dome is an AWACS feature and I looked at the USAF E-3 Sentry to help me with the bio.
