Just a bunch of sketches on the M-Tron theme to figure out where I want to go with them. Not every LEGO space series has a really distinct design language like Blacktron for example (other than their color schemes), so I'm trying to figure out a common theme from the models in the series and devise a design language from there instead.
If I'm not mistaken the official back story of M-Tron claims they're miners even though the common theme throughout the models seems to be the emphasis on the standardized crates they use for transportation as well as the magnetic clamps to lift the crates with -it seemed to make sense to me to turn them into an interstellar transportation company instead. Above are a few sketches on their standard unit crate that will dictate the layout of their transportation vehicles, and a quick jab at M-Tron model 6896 (which I suppose would be their spaceport tractor for loading the bigger spaceships). I'll probably work that one out further in the future.
