1. A multitask, motorized vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body having a rigid frame with a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels mounted thereon; anda rotary mounting platform disposed on top of the vehicle body and which has a mounting portion being configured to interchangeably mount and remove various secondary systems or components, thereby permitting the multitask, motorized vehicle to change functions,wherein the mounting portion comprises a centrally located multi-sided opening in the rotary mounting platform serving as a female connection, andwherein each of the secondary systems or components comprises a mounting base with a corresponding multi-sided male shaft extending from a bottom of the mounting base for insertion into the multi-sided opening for connection and removal of each of the secondary systems or components. 2. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, wherein the secondary systems or components include at least one of a high performance gun platform, a missile platform, a speaker platform, a multi-light platform, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch platform, a robot arm, a multiple imaging platform, or a multiple gun platform. 3. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, wherein the secondary systems or components include at least one of a robot arm, an imaging platform, a camera, a water spout, or an oxygen tank for use in a mine rescue situation. 4. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a jib crane mounted on the multitask vehicle and for mounting/demounting the secondary systems or components to and from the multitask vehicle. 5. The multitask vehicle of claim 4, wherein, when not in use, the jib crane is stored in a stowed position within a cut-out portion of similar shape on top of the multitask vehicle. 6. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, further comprising at least one of a front end loading bucket mounted on a front end of the multitask vehicle, or a backhoe attachment with a backhoe bucket mounted to a rear end of the multitask vehicle. 7. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a set of manual controls provided along with a slide out step at a rear end of the multitask vehicle for manual operation of the multitask vehicle. 8. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, further comprising indicator lights which indicate dangerous levels of specific gases including at least one of oxygen, methane, carbon-dioxide, or carbon-monoxide. 9. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a tandem set of levers incorporated into a front and rear upper platform of the multitask vehicle and being extendable externally of the multitask vehicle, such that the levers extend and right the multitask vehicle when the multitask vehicle has flipped over. 10. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of modular internal compartments comprising at least one of an oil system compartment, a fuel system compartment, a drive system compartment, or an engine compartment, for addition or removal from the multitask vehicle. 11. The multitask vehicle of claim 1, wherein the mounting portion further comprises a plurality of upstanding threaded mounting studs, wherein the mounting base of each of the secondary systems or components comprises corresponding openings for receiving the mounting studs, and wherein bolts are fastened to the mounting studs to further secure a corresponding one of the secondary systems or components to the rotary mounting platform.
