The Gerridae Water Strider bug is essential to protecting and controlling the open ocean in the bug wars. Based after the only insect species ever to successfully colonize the open ocean, the lightly armed, but lightning quick Battle Bug is indispensable to the naval war effort.
The Strider is designed as a mobile sonar, and surface radar platform. It's center and rear legs allow it to skim across the water with virtually no sonar or EM signature beneath the surface, while it's two fore legs contain powerful passive sonar sensors. It's entire upper body is a powerful passive sensor suite to watch for surface threats.
Only armed with two plasma cannons near it's head, the Skipper's main defense is it's stealthy nature. Torpedoes and other underwater weapons have nothing to lock onto even with active sonar.
The Skipper itself is equipped with active sonar, but it is highly unlikely to use it. It's antenna are held high above the water to give it a long communication range, and the bug is equipped with a ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) transceiver for communication through salt water.
The Water Strider is first and last an intelligence bug. It's mission is to know where the enemy is, without letting the enemy know where it is. At this it excels.
This was built for the Battle Bugs June build challenge: Water Weirdness
Battlebugs is returning to BrickCon in 2010, so be sure to bring your bugs!!!
Centrebus Alexander Strider L170EKG 710 seen standing at Luton Galaxy Centre on the X31 to Milton Keynes, 10th June
Found this little fellow (lady?) on wrapper from some chewing gum...it was hard to keep him from moving too quickly....
Something of an enigma to this photograph...P177VDW spent its entire life at Newport until July 2011 when it was collected by connexions buses along with sister 93 for a new life in Yorkshire. Four years hard work and it was time to be replaced, holding the fort as the final Strider in the connexions fleet it was fitting that Cardiff Preservation Group were interested. On 21st July 2015 almost 4 years to the day when it went North, it was driven down to South Wales for them. By strange co-incidence connexions had acquired some vehicles from Newport again which needed picking up so 77 dropped a vip driver off on its way to Barry. Here it sits in the yard at Newport 4 years after leaving, you may think a "foreign" bus parked there may receive a frosty reception, but no.. staff came out of the offices & workshops to admire & take pictures of their old friend which had returned to say hello...all had positive comments recalling the "striders" as the best buses they ever had !
"The Star Strider is an extremely fast pursuit craft with high maneuverability thanks to it's adjustable wings. Perfect for keeping peace and order!"
I found myself disassembling my LEGO 70351 Clay's Falcon Fighter Blaster set and really liked the colors and the cockpit. So I decided to build something from it. This is the result.
The model has two large adjustable wings on either side, three adjustable fins on top and features two "hidden" spring-loaded shooters underneath. It fits Clay in full armor and has a clip for holding his sword. The model is fairly swooshable and the shooters can be activated while "flying" it with a single hand.
Please let me know what you think and what you like and don't like about it :-)
Water striders are small insects that are adapted for life on top of still water, using surface tension to their advantage so they can “walk on water.”

Yorkshire Rider purchased 34 Scania N113s with Alexander Strider bodies with full bus seats in the 90s. Apart from a couple of engine failures and alike all went to the scrappers as runners apart from numerically the first delivered 8601. This was saved at the very last minute thanks to alot of determination from a small few and now is restored to near new condition externally & internally. It forms part of a small private collection of local & interesting buses. Here the bus is seen getting some fresh air out of storage during June 2012.
