HAVw A6 Juggernauts were used fairly extensively in the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside AT-APs, where they went up against enemy NR-N99 tank droids and DSD1 dwarf spider droids. Notes: Two measurements are frequently published for the AT-ST, although the variation between them is small and hardly affects accurate minifigure-scale. Notes: An alternative length of 9.60 metres is sometimes provided, but I find the shorter length of 6.90 metres more convincing. Viewing the onscreen vehicle and comparing the RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor with its successor, which measures 7.68 metres long and seems larger than the Rebel craft, provides compelling evidence.

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. Notes: Proportionally, I think 75021 Republic Gunship is definitely the most accurate, but the 2002 rendition is closest in size. 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. Battle of Hoth concept art by Joe Johnston featuring the wheeled tank that would be the basis of the HAVw A6.Using that figure and the following simple calculation, we can ascertain the approximate minifigure-scale for every vehicle. Seriously, interesting article. The same method could be applied to vehicles and buildings from other lines (e.g. City, Marvel, DC). Might be worthwhile developing a standardised scale of scale accuracy from 1 to 10 with any score of 1 to 9.5 getting an additional + or - to indicate whether the vehicle is oversized or undersized." 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". 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. Millennium Falcon is constructed at minifigure-scale, measuring 84cm in length. While perfect accuracy cannot be verified, I think the Millennium Falcon appears appropriate beside minifigures and am therefore satisfied with this scale. The onscreen vessel reaches 34.75m in length, giving an approximate ratio of 1:41.369 for 75192 Millennium Falcon.

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. So for full functionality, sets should probably include proper scaling for height, depth and width, but that would make a lot of real-life items look more stubby." 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. 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] 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]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.

The "Clone Turbo Tank" name possibly arose because at the time of the release of the prequels, Toy Biz owned the rights to produce toys named "Juggernaut" (as they had the Marvel license). Though Hasbro now has the rights to this name, the 2009 toy was still named Clone Turbo Tank. LEGO has also made 3 models of a Juggernaut, all called "Clone Turbo Tank". The first Clone Turbo Tank Lego set 7261, released in 2005, is an A6 Juggernaut model, as seen in Revenge of the Sith during the Battle of Kashyyyk. The second set 8098, released in August 2010, is a Juggernaut model with specifications similar to that of an A5 Juggernaut, as seen in the Clone Wars series during the Battle of Felucia. The third set 75151, released in May 2016, is based on the A6 Juggernaut from Revenge of the Sith during the Battle of Kashyyyk, similar to the first model. I remember hearing that yeeeears ago; when Kenner had 'Star Wars', someone pointed out their Falcon wasn't 'proper scale'. Their counter was: if it was, no kid could lift it (not to mention, how fewer could've afforded it). After the Clone Wars, the Imperial Army developed sleeker and more versatile combat vehicles. The various Juggernaut models were gradually phased out, and during the Galactic Civil War, they primarily served on battlefronts in the Outer Rim. Some fell into the hands of the Rebel Alliance. According to Imperial-turned Rebel General Crix Madine, the HAVw A6 Juggernauts tended to break down. [9] It appears that the HAVt B5 Juggernaut served as its successor, even though its purpose was different. A6s were deployed in the Battle of Hoth. By 13 ABY, they were one of a number of Clone Wars-era Galactic Republic vehicles being used by the Restored Empire faction of the Imperial Remnant. [4] 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.

Certain memorable vehicles would be decidedly unsuitable for minifigure-scale renditions, based upon their incredible size. Nevertheless, we can establish how large they would need to be, for accurate scaling beside minifigures! Venator-class Star DestroyerNotes: Three different lengths are commonly provided for the TIE Advanced x1. Detailed fan calculations have established that the length is nearest to the shortest of those canon measurements, which would match the design in 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. 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. That’s the awkward thing about minifig scale. The Earhart plane has a fuselage that’s just four studs wide, but the bare minimum to seat two minifigs side-by-side is six (and even then they’ll need to roll down the windows so they can rest their arms on the sills). Based on height, cars scaled to a minifig end up looking like the polybag Elva that can’t even fit a whole minifig. Scale the model to their width, and that’s how you end up with Speed Champions producing 8-wide tanks. 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.
