12-frame second draft. May add more color to this, but I'm more concerned with fixing the flickering outlines and unintended wiggling parts. Pointing out areas that look weird would be much appreciated.

This is awesome, could you have the pixels that represent the track on the bottom alternate to give the appearance of movement? Might also run into a flicker issue I suppose...

Slight update. I think this created more problems than it fixed.

A perfect tiny tank, I love it !

As for me I decided on a walker-type tank, still an early prototype :
