EMC Brute MP-ATV

The Brute Multi-purpose All-Terrain Vehicle is inspired by the stylings of the US HMMWV, or Humvee as most of the world knows it, and the French Panhard CRAB AFV. It comes in a number of options intended for military or civilian use. In its base configuration, it can seat five passengers in standard configuration, or seven with an additional bench seat added to the back. The roof has a removable armor section that can have a machine gun and can seat 5–7 soldiers.  The Brute AFV form has more armor, a 20mm mini gun turret and seats 3 soldiers, commander, gunner, and driver.  The Brute can also be built as a pick up version or with variable bed types, including a rag top (seating 8), a tool bed variant, or a medical version.    No the axles are not broken! The Brute has a 3% camber to the suspension. The reason for the camber is to help with handling at higher speeds. The vehicle also has an angled roof, which is actually a safety feature! At high speeds, the Brute can sometimes roll over, and the angled roof helps the vehicle roll back to its wheels or help the crew to right it. You might also notice it has no side mirrors, which is in no way because I forgot to add them to the model or because they break a lot when printing! The Brute has integrated small cameras in the side fenders, wink! The Brute was built to be stylish and to be a battlefield speed demon with a turbo boosted V8 diesel. It takes off fast and turns slow, or rather you have to turn slow unless you like the feeling of rolling around on your roof… The Brute’s armor layout is between 5 and 115mm thickness, with most of the armor dedicated to the crew compartment and 115mm ballistic glass. The AFV variant has thicker armor towards the crew compartment and smaller slit windows. Additionally, the rear side doors have been upgraded to 20mm armored doors, mostly because the back half of The AFV Brute is full of ammo for the 20mm mini-gun! The turret gunner sits behind the commander and controls the gun via joystick and cameras equipped with FLIR. Armor thinness on the turret is 100mm frontal and 20mm side and 10mm in back. The AFV’s main battlefield is mostly as a scout for directing fire and assisting infantry.
