I thought it was just an example of what the missiles from those hatches on the inside, I didn’t realize it was supposed to be a single giant missile that’s probably close to the size of a battleship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a huge missile (or clip on wheel chassis) was never used—or intended to be used—in the TV series.
