Next Gen Cryptotank
Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 23rd, 2009
Obviously, this cryptomobile has apparently been designed for stealth hunting of the Mongolian Death Worm. Half the problem is getting it transported into the Gobi Desert, but once there, it is well-equipped for night searching, as you can see from the photograph below. Avoiding running over Almas would be a challenge, however, during night ops.
This is an actual Amazon item for sale, one new, for $19,999.95. Whether or not the seller can deliver in time for your next expedition is entirely up for speculation.
The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank, and has racked up 222 customer reviews.
Some people just can’t take anything seriously, however, and some have had fun photoshopping the JL421 Badonkadonk into other cryptohunting situations.
The JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank is by NAO Design.

Does it qualify for “Cash for Clunkers”?
I thought this thing looked familiar. Looks like I may have found the Cryptotank’s older brother. It’s funny how the more things change the more they stay the same.
You’re on the right track, Loren…but still no CryptoCopter.
This vehicle reminds me of the Daleks from Doctor Who. Exterminate!
Greetings All!
That’s on E-Bay as “one new”??? It look like someplace I’d think of if I wanted to buy an R2 unit and a translator droid who could speak bocce! And yet I suspect they will have “luck” in finding the death worm, I myself saw it consume several of Jabba’s guards, and almost eat Lando Calrisian!
Now if I were looking for a death worm, I think I’d just take a lamb on a l-o-n-g stick and mop it around in front of me like a bad landmine detector. Maybe that’s how I’ll make my millions:
“For Death Worm bait that’s easy and quick,
Lamb on a Stick! Lamb on a Stick!”
Or not.
Putting it on the lake, it looks like the CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimac). If lake monsters have weaponry, this should keep you safe.
This POS looks like Jabba-the-Hutt’s Sail barge w/o the sail. I know our TRUE crypto-scientists..(and note I said SCIENTISTS – read – researchers)…could come up with something more practical. Really, how practical is this thing???
Now that’s funny…
Looks like something out of the “Mad Max” movies…
To me, anyway.
All we need now is a soundtrack by Tina Turner to accompany the visuals of the CryptoTank.
“We don’t need another heeero…”
Reminds of something I saw in Ice Pirates.
Hey! I remember this strange contraption. It was pictured in the Obsessed section of Wired magazine a while ago. The builder tried to re-create (as best he could) the Tatooinian hover barges that Jabba the Hutt and his retainers used to cruise the desert and watch some poor soul being thrown down to the Sarlacc.
I also agree it DOES look like Luke Skywalker would be right at home on top of it.
Can we get Bobba Fett to endorse it?
Nice attempt at a hover barge.
I saw this thing on Wildboyz. Steve-O and Chris were driving around “Beverly Hills”, ramming this thing into all kinds of old furniture, TVs, lamps, and assorted breakable things.
20K seems kinda high. It’s really small. I think any redneck with a shadetree degree in electrical wiring, lawn mower repair, and welding could build this monster bigger for less than 2, maybe 3 grand.
