USA Bumper Hummer
Needing to create a much faster melee vehicle, the USA has modified some of its older Hummers to take on a new role:
The Bumper Hummer is a bumper car taken to the extreme. Outfitted with hovercraft skirts on the outside, these vehicles crash into enemy units, doing decent damage, as well as making the target bounce off. Heavy tanks won't be affected as much, but your Technicals, Rocket Buggies, and Humvees can be sent skyward. Supply Trucks tend to disappear if hit. However, it isn't very effective against structures or heavy armor.
Costs $700 and is built from the melee commandset of the USA War Factory. Can still garrison five infantry units for extra weapons.
Not the most happy with how this turned out, but it does have some nice visual features. The antenna gives off sparks when moving, and the bumper inflates to twice its size when it attacks, pushing away enemy units.

That'd be the snorkel so the Hummer can operate when partially submerged.

Dude, this is just epic. I can see a buncha people buying them, unteamed, setting them to Guard in the center of the map and...

Rofl! That's just an epic win! Can't wait to test those on multiplayer games.

I agree with Lord Jon on the idea of using it against my opponents in multiplayer games. I like the design, the description, how it attacks the enemy and balance. Keep up the good work Jordan. You never cease to amaze us on the things you do.

Very nice idea Jordan. Would be brilliant if you could modify the locomotor to something that better resembles a bumper car. That would be hilarious!!

No but seriously the idea is pretty cool but I would suggest making the Humvee lower to the ground. Good work

^This. I didn't comment on the idea earlier, but like a lot of the members that have posted here, I agree that it is a fantastic idea. Well done Jordan.

awesome stuff jordan 
however I think I understand what you mean that could have looked better
... coz bumpercars are never totally square, which a humvee is 
, so that is a bit of a problem...

I see hours of Bumper-Hummer only multiplayer ahead of me.
Is it able to float?

Would be better to make this hummer completely hovercraft, and then giving it a hover locomoter (like the Shatterer from Shockwave has). Add some armour plating on the model to make it a bit more durable.
So then you can rampage and sideslide your hummer into the enemy lines.
