Holy shit, It's like some kinda crazy mushroom flashback.  
Not exactly something for sneaking up on the bad guys with but I'm impressed with the way it handles the rough ground. Make it quieter and put some kind of mean looking insect body on it and a hoard of those coming over a hill would have the enemy crapping thier pants.  Oh yeah pinchers too.
