HL-LR Supply Mover

The Tinkertoys supporting their endless push for mechanical freedom and efficient allocation of resources, require resources themselves on the battlefront. The HL-LR (Heavy Lift-Long Range) Truck allows movement of oversized and overweight materials across fairly flat terrain to far away lands. On top of all that, the truck is articulated at two points to allow tight maneuvers through urban zones to deliver it's payload into the lap of combatants. On the downside it's slow movement and astronomically high weight limit it's usefulness in the theater. However the HL-LR has one last ace up it's sleeve of being a robot itself, capable of making decisions and plans on the fly. In fact the cab can be detached and the mission can be performed totally autonomously if necessary. However the companionship of Reapers is useful for defence, as the HL-LR is largely unable to defend itself. Bots have come to nickname the HL-LR "The Healer" for it's endless mission of supplying the front.

This particular example was modified for special ops and carries extra supplies and weapons for extended operations. It's crew also appears to have cosmetically modified it.
