Customer Rating:      Summary: "You may begin landing your troops!" Comment: Lego continue to celebrate Star Wars' 30th Anniversary with their largest kit to date this year with the excellent Trade Federation M.T.T. (Mobile Troop Transport).
Larger and packed with more detailing than the previous 7155 kit release from 2000, this model is an excellent reproduction of its on-screen counterpart at a large 42cm in length, 20 cm high and 15 cm wide.
The MTT is packed with features. There are two large opening hatches on each side. The rear ones allow access to the vehicle bay and the forward ones allow access to the droids and weapons storage racks. The upper front has small opening panels on each side so you can see the Pilot Droid inside and the roof opens up and back to allow access.
The front end opens right out with an upper and lower hatch and through the use of a ratchet mechanism inside you can extend the Droid racks out which house a rather cool 16 Battle Droids.
There is also a hatch at the rear to allow the Droid Transport to get in and out. The Droid Transport is an update of the 7126 Battle Droid Carrier from 1999, with improved features. There is a Pilot Droid to drive and the back has the capacity to fit any of the modules with the kit. The main pilot control section, Droid racks, weapons rack and navigation pack can all be placed on the rear part of the carrier allowing you to put whatever you want on it.
The kit is great fun to build with 1175 pieces (not including Droids and weapons) and takes about 2 1/2 hours. It comes complete with a whopping 16 Battle Droids, 2 Security Battle Droids (red), 2 Pilot Droids (blue) and a vastly improved Destroyer Droid. The Battle Droids also have an improvement in that one arm has the hand upwards so now they can hold guns properly as opposed to the sideways stance they've had in the past. Each droid has one of the new blaster rifles and there are 2 of the assualt rifles stored on the navigation pack inside.
This kit is an absolute must for any Star Wars collector and an instant army builder, especially when combined with a few of the 7654 Droid Battle Packs. Now all they need to do is update the Trade Federation A.A.T. and we'll have the full army!
Roger, roger!

The Trade Federation's mammoth MTT - a heavily armoured troop transport. Turn the wheel on the side of the model to extend the deployment rack containing 16 battle droids. Open the sides to reveal a rack of blasters for each of the 16 battle droids. The MTT is operated by a pilot droid and 2 commander droids. Flip up the top cockpit to reveal the pilot droid. The rack with the pilot droid can be moved around.
