Ah yes, the weird vehicles present in the Star Wars The Clone Wars video game made in the early 2000s. Strange game but it was a lot of fun.

There is a scene in episode 3 when Obi-Wan flies into Utapau and there you can see a couple of Mankvim interceptors flying around. It's really hard to notice tho...

I love the defoliator tank one of the most deadly war weapons i have ever seen

The defoliator tank would have been mass produced during the Yuuzhan Vong War if it becomes canon

There’s definitely room to make a second video about obscure Republic/CIS war vehicles. I can nominate a few vehicles like the AT-XT, TX-130T, the Seismic Tank, and of course, the Protodeka.

I remember putting a whole lot of hours into the Clone Wars game with my brother. LucasArts made my childhood pretty Rad.

How about a video of rare wheeled vehicles? I'm sure there are plenty of those, but there could also be starships. Just throwing a few ideas out there.

I wonder if the Mankvim's true purpose would be to act as a security fighter, like the ones at Cloud City, so that the main droid star fighters wouldn't be tied up in jobs that aren't their priority. I mean you don't see M1 tanks guarding the gates at Army bases.

I really would love to see the AT-HE and the GAT in a movie, TV show, or modern game. Both would be really fun to use. I'm surprised the AT-XT wasn't here. It was the legends Republic precursor to the Imperial AT-ST and was really fun to use in the Clone Wars game from the early 2000s.

Mankvim-814 exists Sienar engineers: "write that down! write that down!"

Love your use of Space Engineers blue prints. There are tons on the steam workshop that can be used in your videos.

The Mankvim reminds me of the Me 163 Komet

There's also the HAET-221 or known as the Republic assault gunboat.

Some of the Republic Space Fighters reminded me of the ones used by the Rebel Alliance a generation later.

I suggest the Naboo Bomber and the heavy STAP very nice design but appeared only in "Battle for Naboo N64/PC". Also the federations giant artillery droid which looked like an huge droideka was a fantastic thing to look at.

Lol those Space Engineer shots took me a few moments to catch onto - I see you!

Love the talk of the obscure vehicles in general, they add a lot to games, wish we got see them more often, as it would feel better for the setting if when you went to different worlds they would sometimes use different tanks or other options, it feels a bit to much like we never get to see how the battlefields normally look

Ah there's nothing I like better than the smell of destructive machinery in galactic conquest

The best thing about the vehicles used in this Clone Wars GCN game was that many or most of the vehicle, enemy and player ones, designs came from very early Star Wars movie concept art designs. Such as Cydon Prax's Dreadnought tank being one of the first designs for the Tie Advanced that only exist in a single drawing. I also always felt like the droid battle tank felt much better than the TX130. The 4 massive repulsors should've given it a big edge over any Republic tank in maneuverability and speed, let alone that it was a droid and didn't need a pilot, so most of the hull was probably taken by a reactor to give enough power to those repulsors.

The defoliator tanks would be perfect against the Yu Sang Vong (spelt wrong likely) but as a fully living ships, weapons, solders etc. It would be perfect!

You should do a video about the differences between the top Star fighter/Star ship’s manufacturer such as Incomm and Kuat

I personally think that a lighter Version of the arc 170 would have been nice, that would basically do all needed roles on ground, much like the tie striker, meaning it could take a small amount of troops, bombs, anti-ground weapons and Anti fighter weapons, but all of that lighter then the massive arc 170. Maybe a bit larger then the z-95. But then again, would have probaly been more expensive then just using LAATs

The high republic era had a lot of obscure vehicles.

Try out the old republic era, I’d like to see the most obscure vehicles in that era keep it up 👍🏼. May the force be with you, always…

1:05 space engineers lmao

I remember fighting these Droid Tanks in Star Wars The Clone Wars game on my Original Xbox console Definitely enjoyed watching this one, one of my favorites So Far

I see some of my art in there. Two images of the PTB are by MajesticMSFC and Jetfreak7. Would be nice to see some credit in the description at least. Great video, some interesting designs always good seeing designs not often used.

8:50 That's Space Engineers.

I love that the GAT gets some love in this video as it's one of my favorite Star Wars vehicles! I'm surprised the AT-XP didn't make it!

3:47 the GAT looks like one of skynet's tanks but still cool looking.

This is the first time I've ever seen a video like this that actually had vehicles I didn't recognize. I've seen the HAG variant before, but I've never seen the one that looks like the MTT. And I've never seen either of the starfighters presented.

Artillery Sgt here, How does one arch an energy blast? Shelling an emplacement requires an arch or a halo world.

How about the Imperial era? Thanks man. That was great.🙂

Not that related, but I just realized how much the covenant's Wraiths (from Halo) resemble AATs

Also different GAR vehicles; the AT-OT, UT-AT and… that’s about it?

Now, I tried to imagine a story from the Separatists' perspective in a battle solely overseen by the Republic military officers and they deployed a large number of AT-HE against the Batle Droids. And everything the Separatists threw at them so far turned out to be useless against these walkers. And these walkers opened fire and stomp everything in their ways, Battle Droids and civilians alike. At their stronghold, the Separatists made their last stand and fire everything they have to protect what left of their home. However, it turned out to be futile and they received no mercy from those Republic officers whatsoever. Yeah, it is meant to be sad because by doing so, we get to see how nasty the Republic military truly is without the Jedi.

I wish we saw the NTM-630 I haven't seen it till now.

Great video keep up the good work

6:20 it looks like the confederacy made a He-162. It’s interesting that they would be cheaper than just manufacturing a vulture droid however

3:36 hey I remember Star Wars commander! I miss that game

The HAG isn’t technically a tank, but a self propelled artillery piece

The GAT looks like a stripped down Mk.3 Mammoth Tank from C&C3

Yeah the old republic era battle tanks.

I’d say Plo Koon was a vehicle, because else carried his clone so much

I think Mankvim real life counter part was the Me-163 Komet. A last ditch rocket interceptor plane.

Explore all of the eras and the obscure vessels each one had

You can see an mankvim when Kenobi arrives on utapau, and another one when Obi wans Star fighter flies out of the sinkhole, flanked by rogue class fighters, they are really hard to spot

When you don’t have that projected K/D ratio, you get decommissioned hard

Ngl the mankvim reminds me of the german 'comet' rocket interceptor And I'm sure that thing was the inspiration for it

The Defoliator would have been perfect against the Yuuzan Wong

I want you to do obscure vehicles from before the clones wars

at 8:51 thats just strait up a space engineers screen shot

Am I going insane or is the footage at around 1:03 of Space Engineers? If so can I get a workshop link???

CIS Engineers: "We built this fighter with a cockpit so our organic supporters can fly it" CIS: "Okay, it's time to get in these fighters and fight for freedom." CIS Engineers: "uhhh, we know how we built these things, so we're going to have to say No."

How about something on the underwater gear since I imagine those weren't used very often for obvious reasons.

Man watching this just made me feel sad for not playing star wars commander enough as it that one of the 3 official star wars games that was fun

It is quite simple really. Lucasarts was in a long experimental phase in the late 90's and early 2000's coming up with all kinds of designs for CIS and Republic units. It should be of no surprise to anyone that things were a bit funky in the old 2002 Clone Wars game. Yes, there were the familiar favourites like AATs and Hailfire Droids, but then there were the HAG tanks and GAT tanks. I always quite liked the natural evolution of things there. Kind of like the CIS was itself trying to figure out what worked best against the Republic at scale and at cost. Add to that the commonly cheapskate nature of many of the Separatist Leaders, then it really does make sense why they'd charge into the Clone Wars with 'exquisite designs' so to speak and then tone it down to a more average baseline of what they could typically bother affording to spend. Another thing worth remembering, is that although the Republic began to gain the upper-hand in the final months of what we know as of the Clone Wars, they could have gone much further than they did. It looked for all the galaxy as though the Outer Rim Sieges could drag on for over a decade. But Palpatine didn't need the Clone Wars to last that long, so he advanced his plans, and moved rapidly to the end game in the third year (though the Clone Wars technically spanned 4 years in terms of any calendar representation; 22 BBY, 21 BBY, 20 BBY and 19 BBY) The real world design history of Lucasarts churning out dozens and dozens of potential units, always seemed, dare I say, 'pretty meta' to me. As though it were mirroring the experimental nature of CIS plans. I do think more GATs and HAGs should have been around longer on more battlefields, though.

Me, with an obsession on reusing familiar fictional arsenals on other universes as an irregular means of Multiversal offense and defense forces: "Alas, them being obscure is sensible, for they are all eclipsed by better, more well known successors. Of course, the PT-B/NT-B could be useful for reserve strike purposes, with the GAT being used as expendable scouts and "zerg rush" emergencies. All drones, too." (Pandemic Studios' The Clone Wars game needs more love nowadays in the form of modern platform rereleases. Would be a treat putting it in a PC gaming collection alongside the Battlefront classic duology.)

Actually arc 170 was based on design of bomber)

how come in the battle of naboo in the first movie you see the droids using cover and fighting effectively, well mostly, inside the palace, they use corners and walls, objects all sorts of stuff and fire from cover, but then every other time you see battle droids, control ship present or not, they are just standing in the open walking towards the enemy like idiots

Mankvim is just the Star Wars version of the VB-200?

I am an enjoyer of this video

it's the BLT y wing and you can't convince me otherwise

THE ANNALOGIES ARE STRONG WITH THIS ONE.

the mankvim serves the role of interceptor though, and it looks pretty fitting for that role

Weird to see that there was already an AT-AT before the galactic empire exited.

1:03 Space Engineers?

Fantastic!🥰❤️

In fairness to the mankvim, while its deep space performance was laughable, it WAS faster than a friggin A-wing in atmo, though slow by the standards of modern jets.

It is the fighter obi one left in I think

I would've thought longer legs would make it weaker against mines, as the weight would be higher up and any damage to a leg would make the whole walker unstable (but then again I've always found the walkers in SW to be a pretty ridiculous design).

So the small HAG is basically a Wraith from Halo without a secondary weapon

I think i like the mankfim-814. And if i'd get one i'd upgrade it a huge lot!

Sentients. Always looking for newer more creative ways to kill each other.

When did the CIS start to have a resource shortage?

Great work but hard to fallow when clips are of the wrong thing.

BOTHAN VIDEO!!!! EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!

In sorry but is that space engineers used as footage

*Geetsly's uploads another video* Fans: Is it possible to learn this power??

I don't get why you would use artillery when you can just fire from orbit

The Senate is anything BUT obscure.

👍

company man youtube

Hello there

ah yes, uses images from space engineers.

👍👍👍👍👍

That first one the "M" thing being a giant mobile mortar... An nothing else.. makes sense thatd itd rarely see use. It's NOT so much speculation.. the problem with NO secondary weapons especially ANY means of self defense and highly or extremely heavy specialized means just like said.. they're only formidable to a certain extent but have severe issues. An it's NOT productive or cost effective if your heavies are absolutely useless in all but LITERALLY one thing and then they prove to be hardly hard to defeat, disable, capture an especially destroy. That just makes it not worth the cost. That's basically any an everything true for anyone

I’m full of poopy 💩

I'm early again! 😅😆

I'm less confused by how little some of these were used, and more confused by how much any of their other shitty designs were used. Nothing at all is well-designed in Star Wars. Not even a little.

Palpatine will kill the Clones using the Force through their inhibitor chips. Only those that have removed it will survive. The casualities will be massive. This is why the Clone revolt never succeeded and only a few Clones survived until the OT. You read it here first!

3rd

Yo fifth?

No one cares but first

The stupid computer games units don’t count FFS

I'm intrigued that the Empire grunt units sported environmental suits in plain white, implying it was also anti radiation suits. Lucas was so ahead of his time.
