Official artwork of the Large Mobile Laser Cutter

The Large Mobile Laser Cutter is a vehicle from the LEGO Rock Raiders theme. It is a six-wheeled motor vehicle equipped with a large laser for blasting through rock, two powerful spotlights, and a roll cage for protecting its driver. It was not released in any LEGO sets. Large Mobile Laser Cutters can be used in the video game LEGO Rock Raiders, and do not appear in any other published media.

In LEGO Rock Raiders for Windows

The Windows version of the Large Mobile Laser Cutter

In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Large Mobile Laser Cutter is classified as a large vehicle, and requires four energy crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a driver to use a Large Mobile Laser Cutter.

The Large Mobile Laser Cutter can blast through all types of rock with its mining laser, which can be used by double-selecting the vehicle. It has a WallDestroyTime of 7 for dirt, 11 for loose rock, and 150 for hard rock, and every four laser blasts drains one energy crystal. Its extremely slow mining time combined with how much power it uses and the general lack of recharge seams in the game makes it utterly useless for drilling, similar to its smaller counterpart. It moves at a very slow 0.4 blocks per second, and has no engine upgrades, making it the slowest vehicle in the game. However, unlike its "little brother", the Small Mobile Laser Cutter, it has a firing range of 5 blocks, and deals at least 40 health points or more damage to objects per shot, making it quite useful as a weapon against monsters.
