Trivia

• The UV-05a “Argonaut” and its variants bear a strong resemblance to the American designed "Willys Jeep".
• In Greek mythology, the Argonauts were a band of heroes, so named for their ship: the Argo.
• During the devbranch for 1.50 Inferno, the UV-05a “Argonaut” was planned to be a variant, with the UV-5c “Odyssey” being the base chassis. This was later changed so the Argonaut was the base chassis, and the Odyssey became a variant.
