Did you deliberately make Wonko's pile of 40 airspeeders look like bones and a dessicated corpse? :)

Oh, and the classic Elbonian Airways from Dilbert is a giant slingshot.  Not *quite* the same thing as a catapault, especially if the big rubber band breaks.

Other than that...admittedly impressive.  And a relief...I had no idea why you wanted to know what I looked like.

The original Glotmorf, conceived in 1977, was an amorphous blob that could change shape as needed. (Came from a planet that used pneumatic tubes for public transportation.  Long story.) I suppose that might work here.  Got a blob in your image bank?
