The grey rods represent the actual cannons but within the sections connected to the body of the tank, are two flick missile bricks, these obviously represent the actual laser bolts. On either side of the tank are two blaster cannons, these are both ornamental and functional. I had to use the studs to get enough grip to be able to lift it or you can poke it up from inside the tank. Unfortunately, opening it is a little awkward as the dome sits inside the body of the tank. This is covered by a domed element, which can be lifted to access a small area inside.

The central section of the tank slopes upwards to create a sort of lookout area for the driver of the tank. To the rear of this is a panel that also accesses the same interior space. This covers a small interior area, where a minifigure can be placed. In between this is a white canopy piece that features a trio of stickers. With two protruding wings extending from the front of the tank. Unlike the Separatists version, the Republic Tank is a long sharper. But the size and shape of the vehicle is very similar to the Clone Army’s AAT. The Republic Fighter Tank hasn’t really been seen in what would be considered main media. The set also includes a sheet of quite a few stickers, these are used to add detail to the tank. The build is split across two numbered steps these are found across 3 bags. It has a similar style to other Republic armaments, so the colouring of the tank is very similar to the more common Republic Gunship. It also includes a unique group of Clones, dubbed the 187th Legion or Mace Windu’s Attack Battalion.ĭespite being inspired by the Expanded Universe, the Fighter Tank is considered Canon, even in the new Disney Era.

It was actually introduced in a series of books and has also appeared in a few Star Wars video games. It’s inspired by a vehicle used by the Jedi and their Clone forces during the Clone Wars. It’s also common knowledge they revisit past sets to create new variants. The LEGO Star Wars Design Team certainly likes to take inspiration from unusual places.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars fans can act out exciting clashes between Mace Windu’s 187th Legion Clone Troopers and the Battle Droids with this LEGO® brick-built Republic Fighter Tank (75342).
#LEGO STAR WARS REPUBLIC FIGHTER TANK UPGRADE#
But is it an upgrade or just more of the same? Here’s my review of the 75342: Republic Fighter Tank.
This month a third version of the Republic Fighter Tank arrives and it features 5 minifigures including a new version of Mace Windu and his 187th Legion Clone unit. A new take on the tank arrived in 2017, this time with 4 minifigures. The Republic Tank was first released in 2008 and it included 2 minifigures. That’s certainly the case with this upcoming new set. Obviously, some things have seen multiple versions over the years. For over 20 years the LEGO® Star Wars theme has dipped into this array of content to create many different sets. With a saga of films, numerous books, comics, games and TV Shows, the Star Wars universe has a vast collection of material to draw inspiration from.
