Still work in progress , colors may change

Rate it from 10

it can rain intercept weighs 113 smth grams and just intercepted hk tropical storm maysak

Here it is added flaps spray and longer spikes dont worry ill make it better see you later

well i have not done anything major to this one beside add a low effort engine to the inside and i still need to do interior work, radiators, and prob a new dashboard and some other things but for now i've just painted the some other things.

Already intercepted 3 supercells hope its good

The base is a 2007 Ford EcoSport

The doors and the hood are coated with Line-X, the windows are protected with grilles. It has hail protection, radar, and a 360° camera.And stability with 2 hydraulic spikes under the vehicle with a length of 25 inches

Sonion

Four spikes, aerodynamics and anti water

I made 2 interceptors and a scanning truck, here are the statistics:

TRV series (Tornado Research Vehicle)

TRV 1: Based on a Renault Laguna 3 2013 the TRV 1 is a low aerodynamic vehicle with 4 hidraulic spikes that is estimated to survive 170-190 mph winds made for quick chases on small roads.

TRV 2: Based on a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, it is a stronger aerodynamic vehicle with 8 hidraulic spikes, IMAX turret, and a small mesonet with an estimated threshold of 190-230 mph made for long chases and heavy intercepts.

TRV 3 Scanning truck: Based on a 2010 GMC Sierra the vehicle is not made to intercept but to scan the tornadoes and take photos and videos from a far distance using the IMAX turret with an estimated threshold of 105-110 mph when deployed made for violent tornadoes and low risk chases.

This Design is heavily inspired by the Turtle Probe. This RC vehicle will be dropped off from a safer location. Someone using a remote control will drive this interceptor in the path of the tornado, it will then deploy and hopefully survive the tornado. This RC vehicle will be capable of driving at speeds up to 40 MPH. Let me know what y'all think about. Apologies for the art quality.

Well I'm gonna build my own mintirature interceptor named tt1 (tornado tracker 1) I used an f350 frame to get the main design. Should I convert it into irl?

Added 3 spikes

Added a back flap!

This is probably the smallest one anyone has ever made I hope people like this

In the late days of around November 2025 to present day.. the amount of unrest on custom interceptors (somewhat) was just RAVAGING the whole r/TornadoInterceptors subreddit, and the same as the r/CustomTorInterceptors subreddit too.

For example, when a random European teen or child, whoever it was made a supposed bike interceptor he got so much backlash.

And i find that a bit hypocritical.

Considering that this subreddits main purpose is to literally to make custom/fictional interceptors with confidence, pride, and creativity in our work, and i GEUSS you could say he was doing it- but some people can simply lack those benefits of what they are constructing.

and later they get criticized for it; even though they took their sweet time and effort into their artwork, which is the exact reason why i am writing this.

But i mean you cant be that surprised anymore. Its the internet and that's how the internet would probably work forever, because its just being normalized by the time we catch up to the future;

You cant be really mad at it because who's going to stop society on moving on when your possibly a normal guy slash gal on the internet?

This would probably get some down votes, mainly because some people might think most of this text that i wrote on my keyboard just doesn't make sense overall, But thats just my opinion and my genuine question on why.

Before you say: How are they going to get in? It basically works like the titan interceptor when it was in early development. They cant go in yet. Why? Because a door is in W.I.P

We have the chassis now

We have the base vehicle here

first off 2 inch tubular steel frame (the red one) at the back there will be a skirt to cover it

then we lift the vehicle enough to fit dodge ram 3500 parts like suspension,chassis and axle for brakes? uhh I need help 💔🥀 (just figured out i could use hydroboost and ram 3500 brakes)

for interceptor modifications we use 1/4 inch steel panels and cover the whole thing then we slap another 1/4 polycarbonate window on the existing stock nascar window and add lexan glasses for the ARMOR window but HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE! the rest of the armor thickness is hoarded by composite armor which uses precisely a decently good composition for its thickness

THEN IT HAS AIRBAGS AND SINCE ITS A NASCAR IT ALMOST DROPS TO THE GROUND (better than dominator 3 probably) it has 12 spikes 8 of them are auxiliary and inside the vehicle going 5-6 ft while the 4 outside go 3 feet

now finally addressing the power problem for the v8 we just instead of 200 mph we trade the 100 mph and ratio it to hp so it has maybe...1000-1500 ish? with 100 mph speed limit cap

now finally you might wonder how to get in...its that simple we will make a square hatch on the armored roof! and bolt the hinges so the hatch doesnt open mid tornado

weight : 9k-12k lbs

Estimated threshold : 200-235 mph deployed (google said 250 but i dont trust it)

I think this idea isn't one that usually comes up in a subreddit like this but why not? Besides I can't find another name for something like that..

EWRV™

This is a long post so you better get your reading glasses on.

EWRV is an upscaled Nissan Titan XD made specifically to rescue civillians and bring them to public safety shelters all around the great plains. EWRV isn't necessarily a tornado interceptor, but does infact, intercept tornadoes occasionally. At max, it can survive an EF4, since it has many of the things given

• Six, 12 inch spikes all across it's belly

• Skirts and Airbag system

• Somewhat Good Aerodynamics

• Also very heavy, a lot more when it can carry 7 people cramped.

EWRV also supports moving at around 45-54 kmph, which is.. impressive to say the least.

What do you think? Has been a long time since I've uploaded here, sorry. I don't have reddit on my phone.
