Official render of the Small Mobile Laser Cutter

The Small Mobile Laser Cutter is a vehicle used by the Rock Raiders for mining. It is a six-wheeled motorized vehicle equipped with a small Mining Laser for blasting through rock. It did not appear in any sets, and does not appear in any media outside of the video games.

In the PC game

In the Windows PC version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Small Mobile Laser Cutter is classified as a small vehicle, and requires three Energy Crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a driver to use a Small Mobile Laser Cutter.

The Small Mobile Laser Cutter as portrayed in the PC game

The Small Mobile Laser Cutter can blast through all types of drillable rock with its mining laser. It has a WallDestroyTime of 6 for Dirt, 14 for Loose Rock, and 200 for Hard Rock, and every two 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 rather useless for drilling. It moves at a slow 0.5 blocks per second, and is possibly the least useful vehicle in the game, with its only use lying in recreation. It's not even good for defense, as it only has a range of 1.25 blocks, and only does about -4 damage to units per shot.

To do: Verify relationship between WallDestroyTime and actual shots needed, my tests show game speed seems to affect it for some unfathomable reason, but that might just be on my CPU/OS

Upgrades

There is one upgrade available for the Small Mobile Laser Cutter

  • Drill: Costs 15 pieces of Ore
    This upgrade supposedly upgrades the Laser in some way, but in its .AE file no change occurs. The same laser is mounted; ergo, the end result is a waste of Ore[verify].

Dependency

The Small Mobile Laser Cutter costs 3 Energy Crystals and requires the following for teleportation:
