B1, B2, and Droideka Delivery Vehicle | MTT BREAKDOWN (CIS Ships & Vehicles)

The MTT, Multi-Troop Transport did a lot more than just deliver B1 battledroids. Over the Clone Wars the Separatist Droid Army would adapt these to deliver B2 Super Battledroids, Droidekas and supplies in the struggle against the Republic. See a complete breakdown and cross-section.

The Luchrehulk, STAP, AAT and MTT made me love the Trade Federation and CIS the moment I saw them. I’d say the CIS is possibly my favorite faction in Star Wars just based off of the vehicles.

[@Janoha17]

I suspect the Clone Wars variation was shorter due to the altered troop deployment making some of the extra internal space superfluous, so they cut down the height and lengthened it a bit to squeeze in a few more droids.

[@starpilot101]

As a world of tanks player, I can't help but imagine the tank destroyer version. Pretty sure you can fit AT-AT guns in the front if you remove the Droid rack and turn the circular front hatch into a gun mantlet. Add extra point defences, and what you get is a super land battleship, combining the features of an AT-AT with features of more mobile/versatile vehicles.

[@sumukhvmrsat6347]

I was thinking of side ways deployment droideka varient and fire support guns at front but as a fellow Wotb player this is a great idea but it dosent have the speed , something like the imperial troop transport (boxy hover transport things from rebels and mandalorian series) maybe increased in size can work as tank destroyer i think

[@inquisitorgarza312]

A reliable transportation weapon system for the Confederacy of Independent Systems Droid Army, and considering their usage during the Clone Wars the efficacy is truly stated. These are tough and hardly and difficult to destroy, and the B1 battle droids are a very weak infantry unit they definitely benefited having this heavy transport. The CIS clearly favor this transport for every thing it bring out to the battlefront, but they could have at least fix the speed issue.

[@zakiducky]

Only 12 super battle droids, even stowed standing up, sounds like an insanely low number of troops to carry into battle for such a huge transport. It’s a very, very inefficient use of space.

[@MobiusLeader007]

Star Wars stats for both Legends and Canon are notoriously inconsistent. The Gladiator class for example carries only 24 fighters. Yet it's almost as large as a Venator.

the only thing this great pice of work is missing is the top turret for protection from flanks and air. Otherwise it would be awesome. Also the speed could be little bit higher but almost every vehicle in star wars is slower then it should be or even often appears to be so probably not a design issue but more like a writer inconsistency.

[@blastech4095]

@@jacktheflash8478 Even a cliff looking out provides MTT's with a very limited AA opportunity because of the way the cannons are mounted, low in the forward prow in ball turrets, with relatively limited elevation (to look up), & rate of fire is low for AA work. It's just a silly notion, an aircraft would have to be pretty much flying straight at the MTT, like face to face, to be shot down. (similar to how snowspeeders advanced on AT AT's at Hoth, which was a bit silly, though maybe their flight ceiling was limited by the base's shield in that case, and the AT-At's guns are much higher up in the air to begin with). Edit; imagine trying to actually hit a fighter while in an MTT in EA's battlefront 2 xD
