Lego Star Wars 75151 Clone Turbo Tank.

75151 CLONE TURBO TANK 
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px] POSSIBLE FOR WALLPAPER USE)

This is one of my favorite tank appear in Star Wars Universe, it length almost 50 meters, passengers more than hundred, heavily armored, gigantic, high power weapons, it truly meant for crush, kill and destroy! It suppose to be call Juggernaut tank, but due to the license issue, Star Wars toy makers can only use the name Clone Turbo Tank for this Juggernaut tank. (because the name Juggernaut was registered by 'some' toys maker...)

 I started late to get Lego Clone War series, I had great regrets on this series, especially the Clone Venator class Cruiser, hope Lego will release new version of that cruiser someday, please~~~ I mostly prefer ep I series, Clone War series and ep III series than the other series (like ep IV, V, VI or VII etc...), a lots of nice machines, characters, stories... 


Quinlan Vos 360 GIF.

The printing on the figure is very nice

Back printing, with an angry expression

Come with a green lightsaber.

Compares to the Clone War version, I prefer the new version, the old one with big lips is kind of weird. The new hair piece I believe is from first Hermoine Gringer minifig from Harry Potter series, but in black color.

The old one doesn't have second face printing, and the new printing on torso is more 3D feels. 

Luminara Unduli 360 GIF.

The new Luminara also looks very nice, the printing on torso is very good too.

Back printing is a simple hooded shirt and angry face expression.

I like the new cape fabric, very soft and it got perfect cutting, I have new Batman minifig before, it also feels as good as this one, like gonna give me a really very nice dreams if this a bed blanket.

Luminara also using the green kyber crystal lightsaber.

Compares to Clone War version Luminara.

The old version has no back printing and the alternate face printing come with visor in 'The Clone War' series show.

Commander Gree 360 GIF.

Usual Clone Trooper face expression head, helmet color looks very nice in pearl silver color, and part of the green stripe paint on helmet is stripping off, like  worn out effect.

Come with a blaster and a macrobinoculars, and actually a transparent mug in the Turbo Tank

Compares to normal Phase II Clone Troopers.

Back. The new printing on Gree version is a lot more complicated.

Compares to Geonosis Troopers.

My recent more prefer armor printing.

Variations of Phase II armor Clone Troopers. (after so many years of Lego Star Wars series, the variations is much more than this.)

Clone Scout Trooper 360 GIF.

Same face expression with Commander Gree.

Come with a blaster.

Compares to previous version in set 75042, guess which is which? Lol.
The answer is the lighter color one is from set 75151.

 Yet again, typical battle droids in this sets. (LOL 😃)

Clone Turbo Tank 360 GIF.

Top view of the Turbo Tank.

The 'front' section of the tank. A lots of peoples mistaken the front or rear of the tank, but the truth is, the front cockpit and rear cockpit is also capable of driving the tank. And so as in the stories, turbo tank crews is also arguing/confused which side to drive the tank, but one thing for sure that the bigger part is front.

Four articulate blaster cannon under the nose of the tank.

Front cockpit, only two seat for minifigures.

A red steering wheels and control panel at the front of the seats.

But if you are not happy with the seats situation, you can remove this panel in the middle of the two seats... (2x2 curved slope)

...and the cockpit will fit in three minifigures now. (I will find a 1x2 printed panel plate for the third seat)

The middle section of the tank, a turret on the top, and four missles(spring loaded) on both side of the side panels.

Some simple details design on the side panel. The missiles will easily misfire if accidentally grabs the middle panel, I misfire many times I missed one spring missile.

Open the panel and reveal the secrets in the tank, a lots of bones...

There is spotter post and a turret on the roof.

 The yellow faucet handle is for raising up the spotter post. (the original spotter post is kind of like a capsule pill) The spotter post is actually higher than this height. The 2x2 swivel plate is very loose and the gun always pop off from the plate.

Gree would likely to check the situation around the tank frequently. The spotter post can turn 360, and a printed 1x2 slope panel plate in front of the minifigure.

The space in the middle of tank is for storing the AT-RT Walker.

The waist section of the tank. (the tank is kind of look like a 10 wheel bug)

Open up all the panel to reveal the details, suspension and hidden compartment.

A yellow box in the hidden compartment for storing ammunitions and explosives, but I don't know why they use the yellow color instead of light bluish grey.

Some blue studs and thermal detonators.

T shape handle bar for lifting up the tank on the middle rear roof section.

Remove the 2x2 wok plate under the hinged roof so that clone minifigure can fit in this section, it is empty anyway, so why don't we use that space for best. I later added two 1x2 bricks(with radiator lines) for Clone Trooper's butt to sit.

Now, I can fit total seven Clone Troopers in the main chamber! I added some stud pins for storing weapons.

The 'rear' cockpit of the tank.

The roof cannon that with stud shooter.

The rear cockpit is not really that much of space, have to remove a lots of parts to fit in another minifigure, details will be lesser, so, I didn't mod this area.

Instruction shown that Gree is seated this cockpit, and he has to lean a bit to the back to close the hatch door.

The bottom of the tank, simple mechanic, but efficient.

I uploaded a video on youtube for how the wheels turn. (I think previous Lego Turbo Tank also works like this, but I didn't own one)

Removed mid and both side of the wheels to show the swing arms mechanics.

The swing arms on both side of the spring suspension is on 45 degree tilt, and they are opposite to each other.

Without the middle wheels, the tank will lean to this side. (I imagining the clones broke their tank, and the tank will be in this situation, haha) (btw, some minor story of this tank, it's that the replace parts for the tank is quite hard to get in that world, and so that's why The Empire doesn't use this tank anymore, but instead using AT-AT, Turbo Tank is efficient on battle but not on maintenance)

AT-RT Walker 360 GIF.

This stud shooter on balljoint looks like a men's genital...

The front panel is on hinge.

This version of AT-RT Walker size is quite the right size for minifigure scale.

Fold the Walker like so for storing mode.

And just slide into the space of the Turbo Tank.

The walker fill up the hollow area of the tank.

All my ep. I, II, III Lego sets line up. (not much, but I am happy with it)

I need one more Fighter Tank and twelve more phase II Clone Troopers to complete my tank squad.

Separatist tanks on sight! Fire at will!

All targets destroy! (except that little rust bucket)

Forward---!

What!? Unknown enemy tank!? Their cannon are target on us!!
