new 52 Ted Kord Bug

Description

OK, where to begin?  This is Ted Kord's aircraft in my New 52 concept.  His "Bug" is his aircraft, Beetle-mobile, and secret headquarters all in one.  The Bug's legs rotate and swivel to allow articulation but to also allow them to fold up and back while driving or in top flying speeds.  The wheels are like the Bat-Tumbler in the Nolan films.  Large, bulky and stirdy, they rotate and fold back when Ted doesn't need them. The two twin engines on the sides of his aircraft rotate to allow the bug to fly up or down, forwards, and backwards.  The jets in the back add to the speed.  On the bottom, near the wheels, are jets to aid in hovering.  The Bug also has two robotic arms like deep sea submarines do, to allow Ted to grab things in needed situations.  The bug has a ladder built on the side to the door (both sides) to open the door manually, but the doors also opens by remote.  Like in airplanes there are stairs that fold out when the door opens and in when it closes.  The doors also has seat belts built in to allow a person to strap on to the door and fire a non-lethal gun, for example.  There is also a fire hose reel that can rotate at its hinge on the wall near the door.  Ted can use this to lower himself like in the comics or aid in someone's rescue.
Inside the Bug Ted has a small arsenal of non-lethal things he might need including an alternate suit.  There is also one restroom, a small kitchen, and a table.  There is also a door to the engine room.  Of coarse there is "the Bridge" where Ted pilots his Bug.  There are also extra seats for others.  The Bug can house up to 10 people, if the Justice League need to use it.  The second floor is smaller.  It is an observation deck.  there is the window with a couch built along it to allow people to sit and look out.  There is a TV and DVD/DVR player another couch (with a secret arsenal inside it), and three booth tables.  Its a sort of lounge.  Since it is also Ted's HQ he wanted it to have a relaxation area.  There are two ladders that lead up to the lounge/observation deck from the bottom floor.  Its about the size of a small two story house.  While at the moment it is not completely green, to Ted's specifications, he built it to work with solar energy, gasoline, and electricity.  Its a Hybrid, for now.  As a hood ornament Ted put another fake Scarab on the grill.  This would hopefully make the criminals think that the Scarab is the power source for his vehicle.
Sometimes Ted patches Skeets into his Bug and allows Skeets to aid him in his flights and drivings. 
Ted also created various safety fail safes, for example, if an EMP shot his bug out of the sky.  strong thick shields lower in front of all the windows, the legs and wheels can pull back, and there are many seat belts, airbags, cushioning foam that fills the bug, and more than 10 parachutes, etc.
