This is a dark world. Skies are black because of Nuclear pollution. HUNTER KILLERS always travel the skies during the Black Daylight, Humans are forced to travel at night which means plenty of night time scenes.
Spaces are cramped because this world is heavily broken. Buildings are destroyed, people live underground. They put together terrible looking vehicles and use them sparingly.

4.) HUNTER KILLERS MODEL 101 - Tumbling Tank like Machines used to keep Humans in the concentration camp.
5.) HUNTER KILLERS MODEL 183 - The drone like machines that fly over head and track humans day and night.
