Imperial Autonomous Turbolaser Turrets (IATT) are pre-assembled heavily armoured turrets that were quickly mounted nearby important fortifications. The twin-barrelled turbolasers served as heavy anti-capital ship weapons and could also annihilate any ground vehicle at very long range. There were however too slow to reliably target fast starfighters. They could punch through both deflector shields and armour on spaceships with the heaviest defensive layers.

The IATT did not need to be physically connected to any infrastructure as it contained a small power generator to operate. It also contains inside its basement a small hangar bay with a speeder that an operator could use.

Comments welcome on this small variation of my original Imperial Turbolaser Turret from 2013. My son did not want me to completely destroy it and he plays a lot with the new one.

Very nice! Lots of detail and such a large build too.

Amazing! Can you share an lxf.? This would really complete my Star Wars dioramas!

Awesome stuff! Can i assume that Battlefront was a valuable resource for you, it would be easy to get an up-close look and screenshot of the turrets.

Great turret! Do the barrels elevate? Bar 8L with Round End (Spring Shooter Dart) in Trans-Bright Green makes great laser beams protruding from turrets like these btw!
