One thing I realized soon after getting it was that the blue nosecone of the rocket (aka radar cone in the photo) fitted perfectly into the blue rocket engine base (aka microscope in the photo), and there was a hole in the top that perfectly fitted Maskatron's clamp arm extension. So it became my own version of the Russian space probe from the one episode of the TV show, except with a sort of rocket-hover base instead of tank treads.
