Post wacky or deceptively deadly drone or vehicle concepts here!

I saw a fun little thing in the boards the other day and liked it plenty:

[ Spoiler ]

One of my newest favorite weapons:

The Murdercycle
Harley Davidson Scorpion [-, 12,000]
[1 Slot] Armor 16 [6R, 3,200]
[2 Slots] Personal Protection 6 [12, 12,000]
[1 Slot] Ram Plate [6R, 2,500]
[1 Slot] Rigger Adaptation [4, 2,500]
[1 Slot] Rigger Coccoon (Basic) [8, 1,500]
Av: 12R
Cost: 33,700
Notes: +29 dice to resist ramming damage. As long as you have at least a 4 Body or a 3 Body with 2 points of Impact armor on your own, you can buy all the successes required to soak the damage you will receive on a ram (at max speed). The target, on the other hand, needs to figure out how to deal with 24P, -1/2 Impact.

But I think it could've been done with lower cost and an extra "pop" when the going gets tough.
I give you:
The Headless Murdercycle
Harley Davidson Scorpion [-, 12,000]
[1 Slot] Armor 16 [6R, 3,200]
[1 Slot] Ram Plate [6R, 2,500]
[1 Slot] Rigger Adaptation [4, 2,500]
[1 Slot] Motorcycle Gyro Stabilization [8, 2,400]
[2 slots] Termination System: Self Destruct[12F, 1,000]
Av: 12F
Cost: 23,600
Notes: The drone motorcycle will resist 12DV with 24 dice and likely keep driving, the target, on the other hand, needs to figure out how to deal with 24P, -1/2 Impact. If, somehow, the target requires more damage, you can detonate the bike itself for 14 (f).

I just forgot about the 2xBod armor cap again.
Need sleep.
