BaronSat Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Hello, My model is based on the old Kenner toy and the reason I finally made it is the SW REBELS anime to come that shows many nice pics. This vehicle will surely help the stormtroopers to find the droids they are looking for... or not... Quote
CJBERRY Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Thats awesome! I had that transporter as a kid, if I remember correctly it had buttons for playing R2D2 and C3PO sound effects ?? Quote
BaronSat Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Yes and no electronic chip but a plastic disk. Quote
montgocloud Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 This is spot-on! I always love your MOCS based off of the Kenner toys. Do you have any pictures of the interior and cockpit? Quote
Morten Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very cool MOC. Love the details. Looks very much like the "real" thing. Morten Quote
eurotrash Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Good detailing and I love the Robby the Robot! Quote
BaronSat Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks guys, pleased you enjoy it. Don't have any good pic of the interior but I will shoot the model again. Poor stormtroopers they were looking for a droid that speaks many form of communication but Robby isn't the good one ;D Quote
Joebot Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Oh man, I had one of those! That is really great. I can still remember what the sound clips were. Nicely done!! Quote
1974 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Great MOC! Hmm, looks familar, but that was a galaxy far far away .. can I request a pic of the original toy? Quote
BaronSat Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks. Yes, the sounds were great back in time. Search the web with the following words: kenner imperial troop transport To see some pics and the new vehicle from SW Rebels too. Quote
1974 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks Yeah, my old friend did have that one! Darn that brings back memories .. spot on MOC Quote
Csacsa234 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 It looks really great, the ship is very smooth and I like your Gonk droid design! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 AWESOME transport.....I was thinking once of making one of these and Robbie......now that's cool......C3PO better what himself ! Brick On 'BaronSat' ! Quote
Robianco Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Fantastic!!... I can almost hear the sound effect of the carrier squealing along from the sound effect on the top. I may have to build one of these! Great MOC! Quote
Chills Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I had that transport as a kid. Very cool! Quote
HJR-Holland Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Nice! This is mine from 2005: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=202266 It has light & sound. I added stickers in a later phase; I'll see if I can make some new pics of it :-) Quote
BaronSat Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Pleased to see so many of you had that toy too and still remember it. I realised I forgot to publish one pic for the back. Robby definitely have a role to play here, as C-3PO ancestor in communications... and he can produce whiskey from potatoes too ;°) Quote
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Really cool! I remember the original toy and this is a good representation. Quote
WaysofSorting Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Nice brick redux of an obscure old toy. It never got the iconic treatment it deserved. There's a number of these strange Kenner toys like that. Anyway - looks great and true to the orginal - sturdy and utilitarian. I, too, am really digging that blue Power Droid! I'm going to have to hit your site up and see what else you've been up to lately. It's been too long since my last visit - thanks for sharing! Quote
