About this deal

Due to its success and effectiveness the HAVw A6 Juggernaut was utilized by the Galactic Empire, successor to the Galactic Republic. [3] Behind the scenes [ ] 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]

Notes: Proportionally, I think 75021 Republic Gunship is definitely the most accurate, but the 2002 rendition is closest in size. 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. 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 [ ]Using that figure and the following simple calculation, we can ascertain the approximate minifigure-scale for every vehicle. As mentioned above, ascertaining accurate minifigure-scale is challenging because of their characteristic proportions. Scale ratios of anything between approximately 1:32 and 1:45 are therefore common, reflecting minifigures' width and height, respectively. However, I consider a much simpler method most successful on this occasion. This is absolutely spot on. The perception of minifigure-scale is paramount, regardless of actual accurate scale and particularly when the characters are exposed inside the vehicle. Scale is tough because you have to consider all 3 dimensions. Using one makes for a good approximation, but the minifigure is disproportionate in width as well. It's why a lot of vehicles look wrong with minifigs and can't accommodate two side-by-side. One HCVw A9 was used to transport Jyn Erso and Oolin Musters, Imperial prisoners of Wobani Labor Camp, to an unspecified location. En route, the A9 was ambushed and the tank's lower entrance was breached by Rebel troopers of Extraction Team Bravo, who freed Erso from captivity. [5] This article is a stub about a vehicle.

Forgot to mention last time: Thank You @CapnRex101 , for using Boba and Jango Fetts' ship's PROPER NAME...yesh, don't know what's worse: revisionist history, or the name their trying to replace it with...But I digress... 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. Yes, with the 1:41 scale of the article more emphasis is put on figure height. This works for most vehicles but the smaller walkers like AT-RT and AT-ST are missing width, especially the latters 2009 version can barely manage one pilot. This is why the common AT-ST mocs with Bionicle ball joints go the route of recent official sets and veer towards 1:32 or 1:35 scale which is frankly too large, especially when they then go on to put them next to 1:41 starships, but it easily allows 2 seats and interior. Weapons systems were also upgraded to include a heavy laser cannon turret, a rapid repeating laser cannon, two medium antipersonnel laser cannons, two twin antipersonnel blaster cannons, and two turreted projectile launchers, loadable with variable-yield concussion grenades for close support or missiles added for anti-armor firepower. Missile range was 30km. Against an unshielded target, a Juggernaut could deliver the heat of a nuclear bomb into a small area. [7]The HCVw A9 turbo tank first appeared in Gareth Edwards' 2016 anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. [5] The vehicle was identified in the corresponding visual guide for the film on the same day. [2] Appearances [ ]

There are at least two different versions of instructions for this set. The differences for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items section with Match ID 99. Juggernauts also brought the destructive potential of an entire armored regiment to the battlefield. [2] A6 models were armed with a broad array of two anti-personnel laser cannons, [1] a dorsal turret-mounted rapid-repeating rotary laser cannon [2] manned by a clone gunner, [5] two retractable hull-mounted anti-personnel flex ordnance launchers, two twin forward-mounted anti-personnel light blaster cannons, and one dorsal turret-mounted heavy laser cannon. The armament granted the vehicle commander a bit of tactical flexibility. [2] History [ ] Measurements taken from StarWars.com, Wookieepedia.com or the most recent canonical reference book. As for the Flagg, at 6’ long, that would only be 115’ long. Even helicopter carriers seem to start at about five times that length. The USS Gerald R Ford is right around 100x that length. I can’t find any hard numbers, but based on photos, I think I did find one “aircraft carrier” that was shorter. In 1849, the SMS Vulcano became the first “balloon carrier”, when it was used to launch bombs carried by hot air balloons against Venice. Over 40 years earlier, the 127’ HMS Pallas was used to launch kites bearing propaganda against Napoleon. So, when you get down to the length of a football field, you’re largely talking about unmanned aircraft, or at max maybe one small helicopter.Fill out an Inventory Change Request ( ?)

Whoa, awesome article! It’s interesting that the most accurately scaled examples in official sets (by this standard) are very old sets in some cases and much newer sets in others. I recently discussed the scale issues with the different Hailfire models, but I went by 1:48 scale. At that scale, every 1/4” represents 1’, and 6’ tall person would be 1.5”. A minifig, shaved and excluding the stud), happens to be 1.5” tall. At this scale, by the 22’/6.8m height I used for my calculation, the 8” tall Technic model is about 45% larger than it should be. If you go by the 8.5m length, the 9-1/4” long model is still 14” too long. By this same scale, the new X-Wing that people complained was too tiny is actually still 12.5% on the long side. But, unbelievable as it sounds, at 1:48 scale, the plane from the recent Amelia Earhart GWP is only off by a small fraction of a stud. In real life, this is a plane that seats seven. One pilot, and three rows of two seats below and aft. This is a plane that people complained should have been at least twice as long, but if you actually look up photos of Earhart with the plane, it’s spot on...based strictly on a minifig’s height. 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. 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.At least in Lego form it's a lot easier to mask scale inaccuracies, because there is no actual solid point of reference scale wise. A minifig is intrinsically a really bad estimate of the human form factor, so everything else is a lot easier to sell as "somewhat in 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: Two measurements are frequently published for the AT-ST, although the variation between them is small and hardly affects accurate minifigure-scale. When chosen to appear in Revenge of the Sith, the realization of its scale and weapon systems greatly outstripped those imagined by the Expanded Universe, being roughly larger by a scale factor of two, or eight times larger in volume. To accommodate this, the version that appears on-screen was denoted as the A6 model, with the smaller, EU model already denoted as the A5.
