[edit] Background
First seen in Episode II: Attack Of The Clones, this vehicle blazed in and saved the Jedi from certain death by the hands of the droid armies commanded by the evil Sith Lord Count Dooku. This mighty vehicle continued in the T.V Animated Series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith as a transport for both troops and Jedi both in battle and at home.
[edit] Details
[edit] Appearance
The top part of the ship is capable of detatching from the bottom. And the front can open up to reveal an on-site hospital/recovery center. Other notable features are the two adjustable pod-turrets on either side and shifting side doors.
[edit] Minifigures
This set includes 2 Super Battle Droids, 1 Destroyer Droid, 4 Clone Troopers and 1 Jedi Knight. This set has been well received not only for it's design, but for it's rare minifigures.
