[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 to battle.
[edit] Details
The top part of the ship is capable of detaching from the bottom. It can be made into a robot and a jet plane. 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, gun rack and opening 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 its design, but for its rare minifigures. The only way to get the highly wanted Blue Super Battle droids and the Jedi minifigures included in this set, is to buy it. Also, this set and the 4482 AT-TE are the only sets that you can get the original Episode II Clone Troopers.
