Barring larger bucket wheel excavators, are there some heavy equipment that would work as a War Rig? I’m looking for something to spark up a LEGO model.

Fuck ISIS, but this is cool. Also, a large industrial crane might work.

It’s not huge, but armored Snow Cat gets the job done:

Pretty darn crude if you ask me, and most mine loaders have a terrifyingly high center of gravity, but I’d take it.

There’s three factions, see. The Citadel, Vulturecrows (nomadic, but employ aircraft) and the Underbeavers (tunnelers and miners). I forgot to add it in.

Spiffy, and resists spikes and poles, which is always a boon my book.

DUDE!!! TBM TRUCK!!! The obvious choice!

That’s pretty friggin’ evil.

Now for the Vulturecrows’s mobile aircraft carrier... No, not the one the Space Shuttle is using. It still has to be fast.

I had fun building one out of a backhoe a several years ago.

VTOLs and a modified car carrier, or a barge if that counts as heavy equipment

What about killdozer?

Killdozers.

A barge needs a body of water, and I envisioned a sort of angled slingshot.

Ordinary, but will do.

Any ideas that use a motor grader?

I see a 4-in-1 War Rig, with the blade that can be turned into either a sword or side-tripper. Not sure about the other 2 weapons.

Scavenged 5" L54 Mark 19 naval gun or M1 Abrams main cannon mounted as a spinal bore weapon firing forwards

Then heavily modded car carrier might be your answer. The sliding decks could feasibly be made into catapulty things

You’re right, actually.
