How it works

   When power is applied, there is a pause of silence, then the sounds of the war machine awakening begins followed by all green lighting fading on. As the eye begins to fade on/off, the hover/scanner sounds begin. This state will continuously loop until the button is held. Release button when red fading eye pulses faster. This builds up to emit the red heat ray, releasing the red heat ray and finally releasing the green heat rays.
  This action is repeated twice, then the machine begins to shutdown with erratic lights pulsing eventually all green lights fade off. After about 10sec, the process begins again and stays in a hovering state until once again the button is held and released. Sound may be turned off with switch.
