Why Trandoshans Had Some of the Most Unique Weapons in the Galaxy

[@brokenbridge6316]

Okay Wookie and Trandoshan weapons engineering are equally terrifying. And effective in their own right.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Nothing like playing Republic Commando, picking up a trandoshian mini gun, and going to town on everything in your way. Good times.

[@theblackswordsman3612]

Aye

[@Crimson-kt7fd]

I get blasters are the main thing for Star Wars but I really wouldn't mind seeing more slug throwers in later titles. Something like the large coil and rail weapons of Halo could probably fit somewhere in the universe.

[@darthsilversith667]

[@ABadassDragon]

.50BMG fits everywhere and solves anything

[@alejandroelluxray5298]

It would be cool to see on species like the Kaleesh and the Trandoshans, and I am certain those will outclass our own slugthrowers

[@adamwolf9419]

The array gun was so much fun to use in Republic Commando. That first part of the Acclimator level where you just run around killing Trandoshans was so much fun to do with the array gun. Also, y’all forgot to mention the Relby V10, utilized by Bossk and pictured in like half the artwork shown.

[@Allentox]

This would be a great series!! Trandoshans vs Wookies! Make it happen boys!

Realism is one thing, but in the end of all things, rule of cool is at best the winning factor for action fiction like SW.

[@Matt-md5yt]

yeah that thing was cool in Republic Commando

[@RedXlV]

I always loved to steal a concussion rifle from the Trandoshans in Dark Forces 2. And it was fun in multi-player too, because it couldn't be blocked by a lightsaber.

[@samrizzardi2213]

I hate how Trandoshans are voiced these days. In Empire Strikes Back and Republic Comando, they actually sound like reptiles struggling to form human words. Now they just sound like Peter Lorre imitations.

[@tristynbishop6158]

The Separatists: flimsy and cheap E-5 blasters which are often used by clones in a few episodes Also Separatists: their allies had some of the most unique weapons in "Star Wars"

[@windwind3170]

It makes sense why they would arm their droids with cheap blasters, after all their strategy was to overwhelm the Republic with mass produced army of droids, doesn't make sense to arm them with something far more complex and expensive.

[@robertagu5533]

Imagine having to have specialized an specially made weapons must've been hell on some of them when felt the need to find a good SW equivalent to blade an/or gunsmith... Imagine THAT space "forged in fire" alternate reality episode....

[@greg-snapr4136]

Great job!!👍 I definitely learned more than I thought that I already knew for sure. I couldn't help but notice that perhaps you left one weapon out. Bossk and his Relby-v10 Mortar Gun. Is that because it was pretty much specific to Bossk? I'm only asking, I don't mean to be negative in any way. Thanks for your hard work!

[@masteroftheassassins]

The weapons match their masters. Cruelty and overkill

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Not to mention resourcefulness and well deserved grit.

[@palpadur1112]

what do Mandalorians, Wookies, Clone Troopers, Je'daii, Jedi, Sith, Transoshans, and the death Korps of Krieg from Warhammer 40k have in common? weapons are part of their lifestyle and religion. this is the Way.

[@cjh8792]

If they ever got along trandosians and Wookiee working together would make a devastating military force

[@merafirewing6591]

That's if the trandoshans learned to cooperate with the wookies and break very ancient habits permanently.

[@cjh8792]

The Mon Cala and Quarrens made peace so did the Naboo and Gungans just because it’s the way it is or was doesn’t mean it has to be

[@robertagu5533]

Bout the ONLY ones from them 2 races that probably willing to work together are mercs, bounty hunters or anyone basically finding themselves in the same unit together an instructed if they want something bad enough OR if they want to survive "X" situation, conflict or mutual enemy showing to be a bit too powerful for either usually pretty formidable species on they own "make it work". Which is probably about the only way can see these 2 super ancient enemies setting aside their differences an learning to large scale trust an be friendly as a whole to each other. About the only other STILL major an perhaps more ancient rivalry comes to mind ATM is the Sith vs Jedi.. since literally the times such factions EVER seem to have even considered or tried to do so can be counted on one hand ... Of any species

[@MillerTheDragon1995]

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

The trandoshan weapons are made is another way of them saying no mercy.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Lasers and plasma may be more lethal and give off more long-lasting damage (contrary to how cartoons treat them as "kid-friendly firearms"), you gotta admit that slugthrowers/bullet guns have a far more, hmm, shoulder-deep charm and feel even as their users reach beyond the stars, if not harness energy like mana, ki, chi, leylines, and so on. Then again, that's prolly because lasers can't seem to fit in the abnormal gunslinger mantras of, say, Vash the Stampede and two witches by the name of Akemi and Tomoe.

[@zexalbrony4799]

Yeah, but bullets can get stuck in your body, at least laser blasts just damage you without all the hassle of having to dig anything out when you're being treated. Now to be fair, despite living on an alien planet, there really isn't too much-advanced technology in Trigun given how the Humans ended up on the planet, so Vash needing to still use bullets instead of lasers makes sense. As for Homaru and Mami, I'd like to think these bullets are at least magically charged making them much stronger than normal Human firearms because there using these things to kill and injure other magical creatures. I'd like to think if you're a magical being or an advanced robot that you'd be a lot more durable than a Human and thus bullets shouldn't really harm you.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

@@zexalbrony4799 That's the beauty of it. The inevitable medical surgery will either be costly and/or quite painful. Heck, there are times and people who would rather keep them lodged for whatever eventually regrettable reasons. Ah, looks like you know your stuff. Still, magically enhancing lasers just doesn't have that strong feeling of power compared to good old lead reformed into piercing shapes, since there are already laser-likes made out of magical energy all around.

[@jackp492]

I suppose all ranged weapons are just about focusing energy on a point, lasers focus energy with a beam, guns focus kinetic energy using the bullet to deliver the energy

[@princeofpokemon2934]

And here I thought the mandalorians were the best weapons producers I've ever heard of. Looks like they have a pretty good contender.

[@thekaxmax]

How hard would it be to get a Trandoshan gun and replace the internals with a blaster rifle internals, though? And add blaster controls and fittings that take account of their hands? It would be trivial technology, and note they had zero problem with the stun carbine energy gun. It's far more likely that they prefer the noise.

Could you cover the Battle of Sarrish (not sure if you have yet)? It is the battle that Commando Gregor went M.I.A in.

Man, first the Wookies and now the Tradoshans. Kind of wish these came out like a year ago, then I could have used what I learned for this fanfic I wrote involving a battle on Kashyyyk. Heckler: Wait, but you haven't even uploaded any chapters yet, because you like to have the entire story written up so you can upload weekly chapters when you decide it's time to start uploading. Can't you just add some bits to the Kashyyyk parts before that? Yes, but I'm also lazy and don't want to do that. Plus, I've already moved on to working on other projects, so when I do eventually upload the chapters, my readers don't have to wait long for the next project. LOL.

Do trandoshans have two fingers and one thumb, or one finger and two thumbs? I can't tell if their pinkie finger is supposed to be a thumb

[@jeffagain7516]

Although I certainly respect the Trandoshan's abilities, I never liked them. Not just because they picked on my beloved Wookies to such a fanatical degree (though that's the main reason) but also, rightly or wrongly, they just struck me as utter savages that just discovered semi-civilized behaviour before getting a bunch of new weapons to play with. Not exactly a species with many redeeming qualities (outside of murdererous abilities) so trade with them must have been pretty precarious as well. Much like Gamorrans, I'm amazed they ever figured out space travel, as developing intricate tech doesn't appear to be a strong suit with them. :)
