Clone Turbo Tank

Description

Heavy armour of the Republic

In Revenge of the Sith, the turbo tank rolls through the Wookiee homeworld during the battle of Kashyyyk, carrying clone troopers into the fight against the droid army. It also appears in The Clone Wars animated series. Unlike many Star Wars vehicles, it does not hover or walk but runs on large wheels, which gives it a heavy, almost industrial look. At full scale it is a huge machine, so a small version is an easy way to own one.

A varied mix of parts

What stands out in the numbers is the variety. Of the 57 pieces, 30 are distinct elements, so more than half of the parts appear only once. That is a higher share than many mini builds of similar size. Light bluish grey leads the colour list, followed by dark bluish grey, black and trans-brown. The parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity, which helps when checking a copy with so many one-off pieces.

Play piece or shelf model

The build is short, but the range of parts keeps it a little more interesting than some mini models. Younger builders get a sturdy vehicle to push around, while collectors get a space-saving version of a tank that would dominate a shelf at larger scale. Placed next to other small Republic vehicles, it helps form a compact Clone Wars display that takes up very little room. Since no minifigures are included, it also pairs well with clone troopers you already own, giving the tank a crew for your own scenes.

Parts worth keeping

Grey elements in both shades are among the most useful pieces in any collection, suited to vehicles, buildings and spacecraft alike. If you ever take the tank apart, its parts will find a new purpose quickly. The What can I build? feature on this page compares your pieces with other sets and shows which ones you could build right away, as well as those where only a few elements are missing.
