7261 Clone Turbo Tank is a Revenge of the Sith set released in 2005. It includes Star Corps Trooper, Mace Windu, Clone Trooper, Clone Aerial Trooper, Clone Scout Trooper, and two Battle Droid minifigures. In addition to that, it contains a BARC speeder, a generic stationary turret and an E-Web style turret that could be used by droid minifigures.

Description

7261 Clone Turbo Tank has many features including two cockpits on each end which can be opened to seat minifigures at the controls, opening side doors with an interior to hold minifigures or the blaster cannon also included in the set, one side door on each side which can be opened to reveal the engine compartment, posable weapons on the top of the Turbo Tank and then finally a spotter that can be raised and lowered which a minifigure can rest on.

Background

Clone Turbo Tank is the nickname given to the HAV/w A6 Juggernaut and was a tumbling war machine. The LEGO tank came with seating for one pilot in the front cockpit and two at the rear, although in the Star Wars Universe, the tank had 12 pilots. The tank had a spotter that kept a lookout from the top of the tank, but the spotter was vulnerable as he was exposed to gunfire. It took part in the Battle of Kashyyyk and The First Battle of Felucia, along with many other battles under the Republic and numerous smaller battles under the Galactic Empire. There is controversy about which side of the tank is the front. It is believed the front is the bigger side, but many think it can go either way.

Notes

  • In this set, Mace Windu originally had a lightsaber that lit up in the edition released in 2005. However, this set was re-released in 2007 and Windu became a normal minifigure.
  • In the re-released edition in 2007, another Clone Trooper was included to replace the double expensed Mace Windu Minifigure.
  • This set's coverart is shown on the planet Kashyyyk, though Mace Windu never visited Kashyyyk in the movie.
  • The re-released version of the Clone Turbo Tank released in 2007 was built differently as the TECHNIC pins where changed with longer TECHNIC pins.
  • The 2010 redesign has over 300 pieces more than the 2005/2007 original.
  • The Clone Scout Trooper is unique to this set.
