The Death Seed/Chir'daki was also supposed to have the X-Wings mounted on a ring around the cockpit that allowed the entire wing assemblies to rotate independantly of the TIE cockpit. Similarly to how the B-Wing fuselage rotated around the cockpit.
Don’t see a v-wing cockpit, y-wing engines, not b-wing fighter wings on the clutch. It looks like a regular tie ball cockpit with a modified engine & 3 tweaked tie interceptor wings
I feel like the Chir'daki (Death Seed) [2:48] & the Clutch [4:00] are the only two sensible Uglies Starfighter I wouldn't try piloting it if I was in the Star Wars Universe. Plus at least both of them looked like they can fold itself to safe space and wouldn't need to much outside support to just get out of said Starfighter.
IIRC, in Legends, the Clutch wasn't quite an Ugly. It was more a unique variant of the Tie Fighter made by a smaller Imperial Warlord marketed towards mercenary groups (aka: the pirates that worked for the Warlords). It actually had design specifications and a general blueprint, though they weren't held to as rigorous standards like bigger production fighters, which allowed individual squadrons to modify them to an extent. Source: I, Jedi
The Deathseed was also purpose built. Its not a hobbled together fighter made from necessity. Rather it was manufactured by the Twi' leks with parts purchased from both Incom (X-Wing manufacture) and Seiner (TIE manufacture). Another feature was the fact that the Deathseed's S Foils were mounted on motorized ring so they could be rotated for optimum maneuverability and weapons targeting. Although the X and TIE parts were relatively cheap, the cost of building the fighters by the Twi'lek themselves made it so projectile launchers were not cost effective and so they were not included in the ship's design. Otherwise its a very good fighter and definitely my favorite "ugly".
It's actually one of the few good designs. Wedge Antilles himself recognizes how deadly they are and is happy to see a squadron of them come to his aid in the books. While he's a X-Wing pilot through and through, he does on occasion acknowledge the advantages other ships have and admire the ones that excel those areas. TIE Defenders, Death Seeds, etc.
I’ve had an idea for an ugly made from the fused halves of the front of an AT-TE mixed with custom-made wings scrapped from multiple B wing long wings (the very long wings on the b wing), and U wings, tie fighter wings on the top for solar collection, defensive guns, Astromech port, even missile pods and a 0.5 hyperdrive. Made to also function for permanent or long term space travel, since it’s also crammed into the body of a turtle tanker
Weird and I thought Star Trek was the only sy-fy series that used ships that were made of parts of other ships like the Yeager class that had the primary hull of an Intrepid Class combined with the over sized raider ship like the ones used by the Maquis.
The guy that designed the dual BWing was actually designed first by Lord atrocities and he did it back in 1999 with a program called doga for a star wars mod for the game space empires 4. He has the receipts and the og art to back up his work.
Whoa, this video gobsmacked me. I had no idea these existed in either canon or fan-fiction. I built a MetalEarth AT-ST Tie Fighter mashup years ago, and thought it was unique. I LOVE that these models exist!
The one thing I will disagree with this video on is the statement that the Uglies were surprisingly effective in combat. This is not the case for most of the Uglies in universe. While the concepts might be innovative. The fact that most of the time these ships were made from salvaged parts at pirate bases with less-than-ideal industrial bases led, often, to these uglies being death traps for pilots flying them against most regular fighters. The exceptions on this list are the Chirdaki (Deathseed), Erron Kel's Deathraven, and the Clutch fighters. Those three designs were purpose built using well maintained parts and were better built craft that pilots actually had a chance at flying and surviving in combat.
I love the verity. It fits og star wars ship design philosophy very well (asymmetrical and mechanical like the Twilight and Millenium falcon). Looks pretty fast and heavily armed too.
Nice video I'm a huge fan of Ugly Ships from Star Wars and I really wish that they could be used more in the shows movies or comics and by the way I do not think that the TIE XY is a fan creation because it's first appearance was on the cover of X-Wing Rogue Squadron #27 back in the late 1990s
The Verity is the only one that actually looks like it was assembled from random scavenged parts. There’s no way any junk yard is gonna have functional TIE wings of any sort, much less matching ones with no obvious damage. I’ve always objected to the idea of ‘standard’ uglies as well, especially with stuff like a TIE with y-wing engines in the same fleet as a Y-wing with TIE wings replacing the engines. Just put the parts back on the original ship!
I ran a Star Wars tabletop game where my players made their own uglies. It wasn't an attempt to *explain* how they got Tie solar panels, but in that game they looted a starship graveyard with a derelict Star Destroyer. The Ties in the hangar were damaged in what killed the destroyer, but there were enough components to build several uglies anyway.
Absolutely enjoyed watching this vid about the Ugly Starfighters I Most Definitely do find these Most Certainly interesting, no question Subscribed to your channel, looking forward towards your content here, Halfscreen Difficult to decide which one is my favorite, I really like them All!!!!!
Technology in the Star Wars develops slowly. Thus its likely that various manufacturers use common mechanical, electrical and software standards, allowing parts to be mixed together.
@@Will-sq3ip Probably because the Uglies were all devised years before the Clone Wars designs came out, and recent media really haven't focused on starfighters the way Rogue Squadron did.
I remember the TYE-wing from the Rogue Squadron books....Or as they normally called TYE-wings, DIE-wings. The Chir´Daki (Death Seed) where also in the books...Book 4, the Bacta War (if I remember right).
I would put tie ball cockpit or b-wing cockpit were droid tri fighter head is and keep the armament. I would call the gremlin for all the havoc it cause with buzz driods.
I wonder how they manage to put together and remain functional with different parts. If you think about, some of the starfighters are made by different companies. Wouldn’t there be incompatibility? Even in Real-Life, you can’t use car parts from different manufacturers.
DIE-Wings are specifically the TIE-Wing nickname, the TIE cockpit with Y-Wing engines. Uglies refers to this entire collection of scrap ships. Some are definitely better than others.
Ok the Verity's description didn't match with the visuals, the cockpit of a Y-Wing but it had the wings and body and engines of a B-wing with one gun from an X-Wing.
For some reason I can't stop thinking about the irony and near literal f-you to The Empire that a bunch of galactic red necks had managed to slap together a FAR superior star fighter than a literal galactic government with top of the line scientist, engineers, shipyards and so on. Just, think about that for a moment; some possibly drunk halogens in the outer rim with just *barely* the basics of star fighter technical know-how, managed to make a star fighter that kicked the metaphorical teeth in of a star fighter planed, designed, tested, and approved by a galaxy sized empire. . . . Damn, talk bout embarrassing right? XD
The Rebel Alliance Fighters and Their Rebel groups and Pirates creation. Of improvised last minute to find parts to build Fighter spacecraft. Earth 🌎 planet Air Force Fighters jets Cannot improvise any mixed Fighters design as Aerospace Dynamics on atmosphere Flight will affect the Design layout.
Interesting. So in Star Wars they kit bash fighters mixing all factions. In Star Trek they only kit bash Federation cruisers. Seriously though, coukd imagine a Romulan Warbird with Federation nacelles? Oh the possibilities....
That X-ceptor looks pretty cool actually.
I think the wings should be mounted farther back though.
Cloutch Tie fighter becouse.I watch ateRlisteightesinTanger comic art Like child.

b-wing #Uni

Because that's what it is. I have no idea where he got that recipe from.
6:22 My favorite is the *Chir'daki (Death Seed)*
The Clutch Fighter you show here, is that the Clutch used by the Invid Pirates under Admiral Leonia Tavira in I, Jedi from Legends?
More than likely yes and according to Rogue pilot and Jedi Corran Horn a surprisingly effective fighter.
Yes love the graphics my friend as always your graphics are awesome
Thanks!
The TYE Wing, known by GFFA pilots unaffectionately as the DIE Wing. As in, you'll die flying it against pretty much any other fighter.
Thats interesting awesome. My favorite is Chir Daki deathseed & X- ceptor.

I think the Deathraven is also very well made.

My favorite is the Death Seed! Looks like it could be very intimidating to see a squadron flying around!
It's actually one of the few good designs. Wedge Antilles himself recognizes how deadly they are and is happy to see a squadron of them come to his aid in the books.

Deathraven is my favorite of these.
Are you going to tell me theres ravens in the starwars universe or should i galaxy ,whats a raven in their world?
@@alexadame7389 falcons exist in star wars so why not ravens too
It appears to have an incredible amount of firepower! I wonder if it has TWO of the heavy-lasers the B-wing could fire by combining all 3 guns?
The Death Seed,
I would also call X-B0-tie.
I’ve had an idea for an ugly made from the fused halves of the front of an AT-TE mixed with custom-made wings scrapped from multiple B wing long wings (the very long wings on the b wing), and U wings, tie fighter wings on the top for solar collection, defensive guns, Astromech port, even missile pods and a 0.5 hyperdrive.

When Star Trek does that it's called kitbashing.
The Y-A-wing's design forced my mind to go to 'Ayyyyy'-wing
The guy that designed the dual BWing was actually designed first by Lord atrocities and he did it back in 1999 with a program called doga for a star wars mod for the game space empires 4. He has the receipts and the og art to back up his work.
Dude, we all came up with the idea of smushing two B-wings together. Owen KC Stephens was just the first to get it into a sourcebook.
The Death Seed is cool looking along with the X-ceptor!
Whoa, this video gobsmacked me. I had no idea these existed in either canon or fan-fiction. I built a MetalEarth AT-ST Tie Fighter mashup years ago, and thought it was unique. I LOVE that these models exist!
The second one was awesome. Actually I really liked most of them.

Back then i thought it would be cool to combine the TIE Interceptor and X-Wing, yet alone for the name.
Really cool to see you make this video! These look great, nice work!
Thanks!

There's some wild ones in there! 😮

The Death Seed honestly looks so cool
chirdaki looks kinda cool, especially with the black/red paint
Awesome content!!! Subscribed. 😊
Isn't the "clutch" the tri-fighter from "I Jedi" with Corran Horn?
I still wonder why there aren’t any Ugly fighters made from Clone War-era parts.
Uhhh...didn't the YV-Wing have Trade Federation/Separatist 'Droid fighters attached to it?
@@generalilbis Well, yeah. I meant more of them, and in official continuity.
Technically all the Y-wing uglies are clone wars parte
@@supergodzilla3 Oh yeah, we keep forgetting that Y-Wings are around during the Clone Wars.
I guess that counts.
@@Will-sq3ip Probably because the Uglies were all devised years before the Clone Wars designs came out, and recent media really haven't focused on starfighters the way Rogue Squadron did.
I remember the TYE-wing from the Rogue Squadron books....Or as they normally called TYE-wings, DIE-wings.
The Chir´Daki (Death Seed) where also in the books...Book 4, the Bacta War (if I remember right).
I also remember the 3 tie bombers reworked into functional fighters that flew with Corran Horn’s co-pilot in that war.
I need to read those books again. They where soo fun.
Top Gun in Star Wars.@@lucasbarrett8137
3:57 ...No comment on the X-Wing engines that were mounted in there as well?
Yeah, I forgot to mentioned about the engines.
Can you do a video about the The rebellion The falcon Spaceship..
I would put tie ball cockpit or b-wing cockpit were droid tri fighter head is and keep the armament. I would call the gremlin for all the havoc it cause with buzz driods.
2:47 imperial rebellion x-fighter

Even in Real-Life, you can’t use car parts from different manufacturers.
The death raven and chir'daki are my favorites but that z-ceptor looks a screaming metal deathtrap held together by ducktape.
imagine if we could make our own uglies and use them in combat
Raven is my personal favorite
I've always heard them called "die wings". "Uglies" is totally understandable as well.
DIE-Wings are specifically the TIE-Wing nickname, the TIE cockpit with Y-Wing engines. Uglies refers to this entire collection of scrap ships. Some are definitely better than others.
Ok the Verity's description didn't match with the visuals, the cockpit of a Y-Wing but it had the wings and body and engines of a B-wing with one gun from an X-Wing.
The Clutch's alleged recipe doesn't match, either.
Expanded Universe FTW!
I prefer the Tie interceptor solar panels and engines on the Y wing.
American physics is a mystery. This is Tokyo.
nice
I’ve gotta few designs
...but... how, exactly, does the Y-Tie actually move?
TIE engines hidden on the back. They're not lit up on the model, but they are there.
@@VegetaLF7 I missed those!
Wow
☝🏽😂 I ACTUALLY STARTED TO MAKE A DEATH SEED 🤔 INSTEAD ADDED X-WINGS TO AN AMERICAN HUMVEE ☝🏽😂 I call it The ""HUMWINGER''"😂
The Deathraven looks great wish they made it official
I want to see a cloak shape with a y-wing cockpit
offical Star Wars authors - write it down !
Pretty sure Michael A. Stackpole created the Chir'daki/Death Seed and Clutch designs for his X-Wing novels and "I, Jedi".
Tie Wing, ie the DIE wing.
