Hehe, your gun has a projectile velocity of 820m/s, mine, 3600m/s. You have a maximum range of around 50km, mine, 180km.

Yeah...

Well, it's not a total loss on your part. To be fair, that Nazi guns fires much larger projectiles. I just crunched the numbers and, not including the explosive discharge of the HE round itself, its impact force is around 5.74 Mega Newtons, wheres the HARP only fires a 180kg slug that does a meagre 648 Kilo Newtons. But range is everything really and 648 Kilo Newtons can still mess your day right up.

Oh it's a Pony thread aga-... Oh you tricky little Badger.
I suppose the Elephant from Halo 3, that thing was literally a moving base.
Too bad the only 2 in the game were stuck in a sandy ditch...

Why, the Bagger 288 of course. Its theme song should explain everything.

Really, no one posted the Death Star yet?

I'd say the Improbability drive from Hitchhiker's, but I can't seem to find a pic... How bout this one then?

Enemies of the Imperium beware. You have come here to die.

For scale those little yellow and red figurines are supposed to be around the height of a man.

It has a form of forcefield (void shields) and a belt fed canon that fires shells bigger than a tank faster than current tech miniguns.

Yeah you're boned.

You craft little bastard, I was looking forward to another thread turned into image dump. But too answer your question, I'd have to say The heart of gold, the only ship in the galaxy with an improbability drive.

Generally, I prefer smaller devices like that two-man shuttle thing that looks like the Farscape module.

However, on overly large machinery... I almost went with Orbital Elevator, but upon consideration, I think I have to go with

Dyson Sphere. ^^

The MLP [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Launcher_Platform] or Mobile Launcher Platform is probably the coolest piece of giant machinery I can think of. It moves rockets... ROCKETS! I would love to drive one of them.

[sub][sub]Don't probate me bro! I actually do like Nasa![/sub][/sub]
I remember seeing one of James May's documentarys on the moon landing. He spoke about the MLP and what it does. He compared moving a rocket to balancing a baseball bat stood verticle on your hand. Pretty cool documentary.
