G1 Tracks (Transforming 1978 Corvette)
Based off of “Tracks” from the 1980s Transformers cartoon. Known for being vain (and befriending breakdancing carjackers). The car mode is a 1978 corvette, and a third mode of a flying car!
Stuff to know:
[Group 8 is vehicle gyroscope]
[Group 1 is robot gyroscope and walk cycle]
[Trim moves the arms and flight parts]
[VTOL is the main transformation]
[Normal car and plane controls]
Instructions:
To transform to robot, slide trim up and then VTOL
Group 1 should be the only one activated.
Pitch to “walk” and Roll to swing arms
To transform to car, slide VTOL to middle, and then trim.
No groups need to be activated to drive.
To activate flight mode, slide down trim and activate Group 8.
Pitch up and full throttle to takeoff.
Group 8 can be deactivated or left on for more stable flight.
(Revert to car mode before converting to robot)
random notes:
Landing is kinda difficult and has to be done with the gyroscope activated. Slow to about 40% and angle towards the ground. Pull up as you approach and cut the engine.
Once you practice transforming, you can do some pretty cool tricks. There is also a way to fly in robot mode if you deactivate the gyroscope and then transform. I was even able to land at a runway with it.
Don’t hit stuff very fast or you might set off a chain reaction. Maybe someone could XML mod this to be invincible, but the issue is mainly the pistons in the shins
