Has anyone noticed this about the Chieftan?

It looks like a frog when its landing gear are deployed. I think it should earn the nickname "Froggy" because of it.

Yeah. That's exactly what I thought, especially when looked at 'head on'. I call it the Flying Frog around my house.

Looks more like a Houndeye to me.

I actually thought it looks a bit like a spider.

Yes. Hated them.

As for a nickname, I'm afraid I'll have to go with 'doggy' rather than froggy.

Don't get me wrong, I love the ship, but what has been seen cannot be unseen.
