duboismerci Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Behold the trade federation MULTI troop transport. this beast can carry 16 battle droids. A core element of the trade federation army, it defeated the mighty silly gungan army led in part by the always capable Jar Jar Binks. It seems they had won the day on Naboo for Dart Sidious and the greedy Viceroy Nut Gunray until they were regulated by a 8 year old boy flying a magnificent yellow starfighter. (I do love the Naboo starfighter) Still it will be remembered as the ship who nearly rid the galaxy of Jar Jar (no small feat) I decided to make this MOD (my first one) after reading multiple reviews (and the forums) complaining about the "only 6 droids" problem. These review made me hesitated before buying this set but I finally did buy it because I needed a MTT for my Trade Federation army and also for the minifigs. (ep 1 Obi wan & Qui Gon) Turns out it was a good decision because I love this set. It's movie accurate (look) and full of cool features, like the STAP that fits in the back and the repair droid. So, in a certain way, I made this to help people who were hesitating like me to make up their mind by tackling the major flaw that was the poor droid capacity. So here it is: the 75058 MTT with a 16 droid capacity No structural change were made. I only took out some pieces of the inside so the rack would fit in. It is easy to make http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6154414 http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6150890 Both "level" are removable (they slide like the original rack) http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6150888 Maybe a big flaw, but the doors don't close more then that. (I don't remember if the unmoded version door close more. Probably) http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6154415 2nd version of the rack. Now the door closes better! http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6155270 http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6155271 16 guns fit in the back. It's not pretty but it works. http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6154416 More pictures on my Brickself http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=547620 Comments are welcome! Edit: The picture were bigger then 800x600 so I removed the deeplink. I don't know how to lower the resolution sorry. Edit 2: Added pictures of an alternate rack. Now the door closes better.

DuckBricks Posted September 23, 2014 Nice MOD! I wish it closed a bit better, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duboismerci Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Posted Today, 01:02 AM Nice MOD! I wish it closed a bit better, though... Thanks And it can! You just have to remove the gray piece at the front of the rack ( they are there just for style and are easily removable) I kept them because I display my MTT with the doors so the rack and the droids are visible.

Fuppylodders Posted September 23, 2014 I really like that! It makes it seem a little more worthwhile to get. Do you have the old version (7662)? If so, would you still recommend someone to get the new one if they had the old one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arc Posted September 23, 2014 I'm really liking this mod, I might actually reconsider this set... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duboismerci Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) @ Fuppylodders Posted Yesterday, 01:24 PM I really like that! It makes it seem a little more worthwhile to get. Do you have the old version (7662)? If so, would you still recommend someone to get the new one if they had the old one? Glad you like it! I do not own any previous version of the MTT. I found this comparison pics http://www.flickr.co...N05/14884622352 (not my picture) For me, the new one being smaller is helping because I am starting to run out of space to display my collection. I personally would not display the 2 of them together if I had both. They really don't look good next to each other. I prefer the newest one. Then again, it's just my opinion. @ arc Posted Yesterday, 06:29 PM I'm really liking this mod, I might actually reconsider this set... I made this to help people who were hesitating like me because of the droid capacity "problem" so I am glad to hear this. On a side note: The set is is "only" 90$ in the US (where you are from according to your profile). Being 110$+15% tax here in Quebec, I jumped on it when I was in the US because it was "only" 90$ +6% tax. At 90$ you might still be hesitating a little (I think you are used to US price and how good you have it down there compare to the rest of us ) but if it goes on sale (Christmas is coming!!!) you should definitively buy it!
