The towering Assault Tripods are the backbone of the Martian Invasion. They are the most feared and hated of all the Martian machines of war. These vast silver machines stand fully 40 feet tall, and each carries a single Martian pilot. The alien occupies a sealed cabin covered by an armored hood, from which hangs a number of coiling metallic tentacles that are incredibly strong and dexterous. With these tentacles, the Martian pilot can direct the Tripod to pick up objects or push aside obstructions in its path. Besides these appendages, the Tripod has two larger arms that carry weapons of one sort or another, most commonly the Heat Ray Projector, sometimes the Black Dust Dispenser, or alternatively, the tripod can hurl Green Mist globules. The whole machine is carried along upon three tall legs. Tripods are superbly balanced machines that move with great speed and surety – they are not lumbering monsters, as many who have never seen one in action often imagine.
The plastic tripod kit can build any of the three main versions. The kit stands nearly six inches tall when complete, and comes with a base. One of the three legs can be repositioned. The other two ensure a stable model when complete.
