the '''fighting-machines,''' also known vulgarly as the martian tripods, are large multipurpose combat vehicles operated by the [[Martians]] that were used as the primary war machine during their [[The great marcianito war|Conquest of the earth]]

== Design and function ==
The martian fighting machines were originally built inside of the giant martian cylinder pits by the highly sophisticated [[Handling-machines]] before being activated from inside of the cylinders


The martian fighting machines are operated by a single [[Martians|martian]] pilot inside of a large brazen "hood" attached to a body with three articulated legs. the fighting machine has various tentacles that it can use for tasks such as abducting people, probing abandoned buildings or even building other fighting machines. The tentacles can also be used to grab onto things such as the heat ray and the black smoke cannon. The tentacles can also be used as melee weapons when the heat ray and black smoke launchers are not needed


Each martian fighting machine carries a large device capable of firing a concentrated blast of fire known as the "heat ray" that is capable of heating up objects to the point of incandescence. The heat ray is used against an offensive weapon in concentrated attacks
