Description

A hovering tank in dark blue and grey

The Umbaran MHC stands out for its unusually flat, wide shape, a clear departure from more traditional Star Wars vehicles. Dark blue and the two grey tones cover most of the hull, while black picks out weapons and mechanical detail. At 493 pieces the set sits in the mid-size range, but uses that piece count quite deliberately for the wide, low silhouette that defines the hover vehicle, a design meant in the show to read as stealthy and hard to spot.

Four minifigures from the Umbara arc

The set includes four minifigures tied to the Battle of Umbara storyline from The Clone Wars, including clone troopers and Umbaran figures. That combination makes it possible to recreate direct conflict scenes between both sides. For collectors focused on this less common storyline within the series, the set is one of relatively few releases with matching figures, and their weapons and armour also suit the vehicle's dark colour scheme.

100 parts for an unusual shape

100 distinct parts out of 493 pieces is a fairly modest ratio, which fits the flat, plate-based construction of the vehicle: many repeated plates and wedge pieces build up the wide hull, with fewer specialised parts reserved for weapons and detailing. The dark blue, grey and black palette stays consistent throughout. The full parts list on this page covers every part, colour and quantity, useful for tracking down a specific plate in the right shade of blue or grey.

An unusual vehicle for a Star Wars collection

Its flat, wide shape and dark blue colouring set the Umbaran MHC apart from most other Star Wars vehicles, which makes it stand out in a wider collection. Individual plate and wedge pieces are also useful for custom vehicle builds outside the Star Wars theme if the set is ever taken apart. That makes it worth a look for anyone not focused solely on the larger, better-known vehicles from the films.
