As an option (though it likely won't ring well for users of newer editions) :
We wanted vehicles well before there were actual vehicle rules. (we clued in pretty early that you could do more than just supers with the game system, and we were ready to explore new planets )
We used the character building rules to make vehicles. We still do. Buy Growth until you get the size you want, buy relevant movement powers, INT for a computer, Ego for an AI, etc.
Not only does it work perfectly well, it eliminates the need for a whole new subset of rules.
History in the United Superheroes of America Reality
1776 - Hessian Soldiers are hired by King George III to fight the Colonial Army in the Revolutionary War. Necromancer, a powerful wizard, is also hired to resurrect dead British Soldiers.

Origin: Dr. Katherine Courtney Clark is a Medical Doctor and Criminologist who's built a career on solving a number of difficult crimes. When the criminal seemed beyond the law Katherine went after then as the costumed crime fighter known as The Raven.
Appearance: Katherine Clark is 5'10", 130 lbs, with a slender but well muscles build, black hair, and blue eyes. As Raven she wears a black bodysuit, mask, weapons belt, gloves, boots, and cape. She wears a black wig to help disguise her identity, which is armored with a metal mesh.
Powers: Raven is a weapons master with a variety of different weapons including throwing wings and bolas. Her Drain is a sleep gas she sprays at close range that overwhelms the nervous system even if it's not breathed. Her invisibility is her ability to sneak around and hide. Her multiform is getting into her flying car, which changes her powers (see below).

Raven is my latest version of a Weapons Master. I came to the conclusion that the way Batman, Huntress, and Black Canary sneak around is because they have a form a Invisibility allowing them to move silently had conceal themselves until they are ready to pounce. As the invisibility takes up all their multipower's points, they can only movie at 9" running, 5" in a half move. The Drain is any kind of close range attack that doesn't to BODY damage such as a choke hold, sleep gas, stun gun, or chlororform. This is Raven at the beginning of her career but she doesn't really change much over the years.
The flying car is called a "Casey", named for it's inventors Alexandria King and Stephen Decatur Clark, the later being Katherine's twin Brother and the crime fighter known as The Nighthawk.
That's where the OIF (-1/2) bonus comes in. As we saw in Captain America: Civil War Tony didn't have his Armor when the Winter Soldier broke out of containment. A -1/2 limitations means you don't get to use your powers half the time. A -1 for an OAF means that at some point someone will make a grab for the thing in a fight. Wonder Woman knows that from the number of times she's been bound by her magic lasso.

Ambassador, there are so many things in the universe that are and so many things that aren't. If I were to take the time to deny all the things that aren't, we'd be here for centuries, wouldn't we?
I really like the Mechanical Menace character, so much so that I'd like to use it with a few tweaks.
In my mind, I see it eventually choosing to alter its body into a human female form in order to aid its ability to manipulate people and to help it hide without the need of constant disguises.

A list of Everyman Skills for a starship's AI that didn't used to have a body to interact with its crew. (Dropped from the usual Everyman list are Climbing, Concealment, Shadowing, and Stealth. I'd be trying to pick up some of those with experience.)
Bribery 8- (a way to motivate the crew)
Cryptography 8- (a way to pass the time)
Bureaucratics 8- (an empire runs on its paperwork)
Conversation 8- (more than a way to pass the time because the crew doesn't always share all the information it has)
Deduction 8- (a way to analyze what it learns from the crew)
English (4 points’ worth, includes literacy) (a preparation to help rule the conquered planet)
Paramedics 8- (hey, it used to have a sickbay)
Persuasion 8- (another way to manipulate the crew)
PS: Conqueror 11- (a time-honored profession in the Empire)
Systems Operation 8- (what use is an AI that can't at least help the crew run the ship?)
TF: Spacecraft (duh)
TF: Ground vehicles (part of a standard spacecraft load-out for a planetary invasion)
AK: Earth 8- (a basic preparation for the invasion though more knowledge was lost with the ship than was retained)
changes:
-2 points cost on the mind control slot to account for the limitation
2 Base of Operations (10 active points plus 35 points from the base's disadvantages)
Size 80 hexes (cost 10) with 80 hexes of grounds
2 DEF 2 BODY - the base has no additional defenses because it is just a stepping stone to the next level of world domination.
2 DEF 2 BODY perimeter fence
Suburban (cost 5)
Concealment 9- (cost 3)
Disguise 14- with a Disguise lab (cost 15)
Acting lab 9- (props and green screen for recordings and Skype, cost 3)
Electronics lab 9- (cost 3)
Computer Programming lab 9- (cost 3)
Mechanics lab (garage) 9- (cost 3)
Since MM has an obviously robot body and wants to be successfully disguised a good portion of the time when going out in public, adding a base with a Disguise lab seemed appropriate.
The base itself is currently disguised as an older upscale home which has been converted into business space. It's one of those places that you have to know about already in order to find it. MM as "Mattie" and her assistant Greg run the place using their disguise skills to give fancy makeovers to women who can afford to spend abnormally large wads of money on such things. Mattie usually takes care of hacking the customer's cell phone and other devices while both her and Greg pump their customers for information about the movers and shakers in the city. They often know what's going on in the city before the city planning commission does...and certainly long before the heroes do.
Unluck 2d6 for the base (10 points)
Vulnerable to Magnetic Attacks for the base (Uncommon, x2 BODY, 10 points)
Vulnerable to Sonic Attacks for the base (Uncommon, x2 BODY, 10 points) this one is a floating disadvantage, always something additional wrong with MM's base but not always sonics.
DNPC the "Greg" android caretaker for the base (Normal, useful skills, Infrequent 8-) (5 points). Greg was created as the Mechanical Menace's companion/lackey when "she" became lonely from lack of contact with a crew. Greg appears to be a human in his early 20's and usually displays some physical or character flaws which would make other people unwilling to interact with him on an intimate level so they don't discover he's an artificial lifeform or get too curious about the base. Greg typically acts as a cashier or worker when the base is disguised as a shop of some sort and runs errands when the Mechanical Menace doesn't want to put on a disguise or is otherwise busy. Greg is a real person with an unremarkable history according to the state and federal governments and has a driver's license, all due to MM's computer reprogramming skills. If Greg is identified as MM's operative or the base is discovered, he'll get a full body makeover. Greg's memory is regularly backed up into MM's own systems so she can recreate him from scratch if necessary. But it was a significant application of resources to build the body in the first place so she will go to some lengths to protect Greg's body (thus the DNPC designation). At the moment, Greg appears to be a Caucasian with brown hair, overweight but a snappy dresser, and is gay so as to not particularly attract the female clientele in a sexual manner...as an absolute last resort, Greg can generate bad breath as a second line of "defense".

(Note that on a typical day at home on her Disguise 13-, she will get a good equipment bonus of +3. In addition, she'll get the complimentary skill roll from the lab, a complimentary skill roll from Greg's assistance, and a bonus for taking Extra Time. People might see through her disguise but she'll be doing her damnedest to make sure that doesn't happen.)
