Description

Kashyyyk and the Clone Wars

The Turbo Tank appears in Revenge of the Sith during the battle on Kashyyyk, where clone troopers and Wookiees stand together against the droid army, and it features in The Clone Wars series too. It is a heavy, multi-wheeled carrier designed to move troops across rough ground under fire. That job explains its shape: long, armoured and built for stability rather than speed. The 2010 set captures that bulk, and it gives prequel fans a ground vehicle that feels very different from the walkers of the original trilogy.

Six figures and room to play

Six minifigures come with the model, a clear sign that it is meant to be played with. You can load up a crew, roll the tank across a table and set up skirmishes around it. The exact figure line-up is shown on this page. Since 8098 is no longer in shops, most copies change hands second-hand, so it is worth checking the figures and their weapons against the list before you buy. Small accessories are the first things to vanish from a well-played set.

Why a wheeled tank stands out

Wheeled vehicles are rare in the Star Wars universe, where repulsorlifts and legs dominate. That makes the Turbo Tank a distinctive addition to any prequel collection, sitting comfortably next to gunships and walkers without looking like either. It also works well as the centrepiece of a clone army display, since its bulk gives smaller vehicles and figures something to gather around. If you collect Clone Wars sets, it fills a gap that few other models cover.

Colours and parts

Light bluish grey leads the palette, followed by black, dark bluish grey and tan. The mix feels practical and military, with the tan adding a warmer note that suits the beaches and forests of the battle scenes. Its 1,145 pieces come from 173 unique part types, a balanced ratio that keeps the build moving without becoming monotonous. Once the tank is dismantled, the full parts list helps you sort the inventory, and the ‘What can I build?’ tool shows which other sets you could put together with it.
