LEGO Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank with Jedis, Battle Droids, and AT-RT | 75151 by LEGO

Product Information

The HCVw A9 turbo tank was part of a line of wheeled armored tanks manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, [1] including its larger predecessor, the HAVw A6 Juggernaut, which was used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. [2] It was designed primarily as an infantry fighting vehicle, meant to carry troops into battle and protect them once deployed. [1] Notes: Proportionally, I think 75021 Republic Gunship is definitely the most accurate, but the 2002 rendition is closest in size.

Notes: Two measurements are frequently published for the AT-ST, although the variation between them is small and hardly affects accurate minifigure-scale. There is actually also a thing about colors, that ends up looking inaccurate in smaller scales, making people mix lighter colors and create fake shadows, but that's a whole other can of worms, that scale modelers have to deal with. For weaponry, it boasted a pair of forward turret-mounted blasters for anti-personnel use and dorsal rapid-fire rotary laser cannon turrets for anti-aerial use. Consequently, HCVw A9s were rarely deployed alone, and instead played supporting roles in larger armored formations, alongside Juggernauts, walkers, and other fast assault vehicles. [1] History [ ] I did mention that one member of my LUG specifically builds in that scale. Besides being easy to calculate, many features on buildings, like windows and doors, are built in 6” increments, so it also scales well. The A6 model saw its heaviest use in service of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Due to a flawed direct-delivery system maintained by Kuat Drive Yards during the conflict, some A6 Juggernauts also fell into the hands of the CIS.

The significance of minifigure-scale varies dramatically between subjects. Larger starfighters such as the T-65 X-wing or TIE/sk Striker have achieved near-perfection and that is apparent simply when looking at them, without needing any calculations. Other vehicles deviate slightly from the source material, but are ideally-suited to interaction with minifigures. HAVw A6 Juggernauts were used fairly extensively in the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside AT-APs, where they went up against enemy NR-N99 tank droids and DSD1 dwarf spider droids. Establishing precise minifigure-scale is always difficult, primarily because minifigures feature such unusual proportions. Nevertheless, many Star Wars models are intended to interact with minifigures, of course. From a small pod above the vehicle's front, a spotter kept lookout for enemy forces. Though there was a large view of the area, he was an easy target for hostile troops. This observation mast could be retracted when not in use.

A massive, ten-wheeled heavy assault vehicle manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards for use by the Galactic Republic's clone army, the HAVw A6 Juggernaut was used as both a troop carrier and a main battle tank. The Juggernaut was twice the size with 5 times the weight of the Republic's All Terrain Tactical Enforcer and was of one the largest ground vehicles built by KDY, [2] measuring to 49.4 meters in length. [3] It had a boxy hull covered in sloping thermal superconducting armor that could disperse both the heat and energy of incoming fire over a broad area rather than ablating or reflecting damage. A powerful, high-output reactor powered the tank's complex all-wheel drive system that could deliver power to each wheel as needed [2] for a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour. [3] Each wheel was independently mounted and suspended which added a layer of complexity to an already complicated drive system, but allowed for a surprising amount of articulation. [2] Recent discussion surrounding 75309 Republic Gunship has prompted broader examination of minifigure-scale. This interesting topic undoubtedly warrants investigation and this article encompasses numerous significant vehicles, determining their approximate minifigure-scale.

The Self Propelled Heavy Artillery (SPHA) walker was a modular heavy artillery unit used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It was used at the end of Episode 2 on Geonosis.Notes: An alternative length of 9.60 metres is sometimes provided, but I find the shorter length of 6.90 metres more convincing. Viewing the onscreen vehicle and comparing the RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor with its successor, which measures 7.68 metres long and seems larger than the Rebel craft, provides compelling evidence.
