After the [[Moonlight SY-3]] landed on The [[Moon]], the Exploration Car was manned by a group of scientists and soldiers. Driving across the Lunar Surface, they searched for the [[Kilaaks]], and found their base. The aliens began defending their base, causing the ground to burst into flames from the cannons mounted on the base's roof. However, the Exploration Car fired two missiles at the Base's entrance, exposing those within to the freezing temperatures of the natural satellite. Afterwards, the SY-3 began firing on the Kilaak Transmitter, but failed to cut through the device's transmission pole with its lasers. The scientists then had an idea to mount the Exploration Car's weaponry on the SY-3, and drove the vehicle back to the spacecraft. With the terrestrial vehicle's weaponry integrated into the SY-3's systems, the ship blasted the transmitter using the Exploration Car's lasers, destroying the transmitter and freeing Earth's monsters.
When the [[Moonlight SY-3]] discovered the [[Kilaak]]s' base on the [[moon]], it deployed the Exploration Car to breach it. The car used its dual [[Maser Cannon]]s to destroy the entrance to the base, exposing its occupants to the freezing lunar temperatures and causing the Kilaaks to revert to their true forms. The SY-3 crew disembarked and searched the base for the transmitter the Kilaaks were using to control [[Earth]]'s [[kaiju]]. They found the device but were unable to remove it using any of their tools.

History

Showa era

Destroy All Monsters

When the Moonlight SY-3 discovered the Kilaaks' base on the moon, it deployed the Exploration Car to breach it. The car used its dual Maser Cannons to destroy the entrance to the base, exposing its occupants to the freezing lunar temperatures and causing the Kilaaks to revert to their true forms. The SY-3 crew disembarked and searched the base for the transmitter the Kilaaks were using to control Earth's kaiju. They found the device but were unable to remove it using any of their tools. Captain Katsuo Yamabe removed one of the Exploration Car's Maser Cannons and used it to successfully cut the transmitter free from its base, cutting off its signal and freeing Earth's kaiju from the aliens' control. The SY-3 crew then returned to the Exploration Car and rode it back onto the SY-3, which departed just as the Kilaaks' base began to explode.

Weapons

Missiles

The Exploration Car can fire missiles from a small cannon.

Maser Cannons

The Exploration Car is equipped with two miniature Maser Cannons mounted to the top of the vehicle, as well as two more on the hood of the vehicle, which were intended for excavation. However, these Maser Cannons are effective against the material used by the Kilaaks to construct their machinery, and was used to successfully destroy their base and transmitter.
