Specially designed for use by the Andromeda Corp. in their global campaign, the "Puppy" is a small, versatile vehicle that will be used extensively by Andromeda. Driven by one trooper it can fit in small areas and devastate the enemy with a driver-controlled machine-gun mounted on the roof.
This was also a warm-up for the "Put Your Brick Where Your Mouth Is 2" contest. I tried to incorporate play-features and make it more sturdy then my builds usually are. More specifically I used Technic pieces to slope the hood rather than less sturdy hinge bricks.
I included play features like the opening roof/windshield and the crate in the back (below).

Interesting design. Looking at the picture though, due to the angle of the hood and the cant of the wheel, it looks bent. :)

Bent? In what direction?

The vehicle, to me, looks like it bends where the hood joins the body. I know it's an optical illusion, I just can't un-see it.
