The AT-AM was a vehicle project I chose to do which was supposed to incorporate the best survivability fuction and gadets. I also tried to design it to be optimal for all terrain. I was inspired by Mad Max and Off-Road & Army vehicles of today.
For the body armour I was inspired by the Tumbler from the Dark Knight series.
The largest inspiration was the original Thunderbirds series for all thier unique vehicle designs. The thunderbirds equipment and vehicle were designed to rescue victims from any distaster scenario. Ranging from the hotest of deserts and volcanoes to the coldest of oceans and moutains.
