Can we please return to earth now?

We are talkink about a small toy.
We are not talking about FireBird's logo or Image.
We have been talking about something comic. To have fun with!
Please read the posts that we discuss this!

You can design a tank (with the guns) not making it sounds like anything
that you talked here - Walt Disney have done it a lot! Put Donald Duck or
Mickey Mouse inside a tank and you will see... You just need to put a flower
on it and reverse the all ideia of killing, etc, etc...

So, the specifications of the FireBird Sports-Tank Toy will be:

- Robust.
- Fast.
- Comic.

And it's just to be used inside the 'FireBird's Box to deliver to the
Client'. Something that the client could pick up and give it to their kids.
And, when the kid is playing around with it, the client will remember the
Best RDBMS in the market! And our tank will be a contribute to promote
FireBird without firing a single bullet.
