One Orbital Deployment Pod for you, with a Bounty Hunter next to it for scale.
It is hollow, so can have it's interior converted if needed.
Note the positioning jets on the top can be painted up as grenade launchers if you wanted some kind of heavy firepower to clear the zone and it has a turret as well. There is no reason why you can't convert Gladius turrets to up gun it, or even use it's guns on the Gladius.

If it's hollow, how about casting it up with at least one open doorway and seperate door? That'd be really neat!

You are correct Vermis - it's a Bob Naismith production  .

I've discussed this with Tom.
One option might be to have an extra set of ramps cast. People will then be required to saw off the ramps on the existing model and replace them with the open ones. A bit fiddly though so I'm not sure what the direction will be for this yet.

Interchangable turrets, after-market parts. EW kicks @$$!
This is the kind of thinking all gamers want to hear. A company that actually thinks like a gamer.

Seems a touch small. Even if you take the base of the mini into account.
How many troops is it supposed to hold?

I'd say 5-10 from the look of it. Too bad the doors weren't made as separate parts to glue on. Open and variant doors could have been easier.

It's a 10 man drop pod, it might be cramped, but military vehicles aren't built for comfort  .
Thanks for all the comments chaps - i'll certainly look into making the doors a seperate part.

Yep !! Comfort is not a priority ! Seperate doors would be cool too !
