Trotmobile

The Trotmobile, or Trot (a term used by many people) is a form of automobile invented by Dr. Nutmeg after the demand for a new form of transportation that could traverse all kinds of terrain. It moves on two frames, and there are several purposes for a Trotmobile, fighting, transporting materials, and overall improving the lives of people.

Trotmobiles come in many different sizes and shapes; they can be light and frail but fast, or heavy and strong but slow, or even both. A Trotmobile is comprised of five sections: "Body", "Back", "Legs", "Arms", "Windshield".

The "body" is of course, the most necessary piece, as it houses the engine and drivers seat. However, there is a downside, the body's size will determine the 'HP' of a Trotmobile, while the other parts can affect how much gas it has/will consume while moving; "legs" (though wheels and treads are also optional), help Trotmobiles move through certain types of terrain, with varying speeds and gas consumption; the "arms", which serve as the mean of attacking (note that some arms are used for different purposes outside of combat), these can anything from swords, axes, to boomerangs; "windshields" are optional but can offer additional protection to the driver and their passenger; finally the "back", attachments that can offer additional fuel, extra propulsion, or flatbeds for carrying rocks and building materials.

Trotmobiles are designed with a vaguely human shape, as the "arms, body, and legs" clearly reference. Though there are variances, certain bandits possess Trotmobiles that have no arms, or even legs, and sometime dwarf even the largest possible custom Trot a player can design. There are even some that bare no resemblance to normal trots in general (namely, many of the boss trotmobiles). Control is simple, requiring the player utilize both the left and right analog sticks in conjunction.

History
The Trotmobile was invented by Dr. Nutmeg after the automobile was losing popularity, due to citizens preferring to walk distances instead of travel on machines. The early attempts merely included attaching arm like parts to normal cars, while some even used crude looking legs, all of which failed before Nutmeg arrived at the current design. Over time, the Trotmobile has become very popular, and is most often used in cities (including Nefroburg), and have useful purposes. They could be used for melee attacks, passenger travel, or other purpose; the player may customize their Trotmobile to transport people from one place to another, or fight in battles at the arena. The Trotmobile is supposedly very recent, as its creator (Dr. Nutmeg) is still alive in his garage at Vision Ranch (where he still constructs Trotmobiles himself).

Nearly every city and suburban place has the inclusion of Trotmobiles, including farms spotted in the beginning of Steambot Chronicles.
