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...
@@irishjet2687 For some reason I'm not finding stills of it, but if you watch the scene where the Eta-2 touches down, a Mankvim does sort of waddle overhead. It sticks out because of how dark it is. I have likewise failed to notice any in the battle sequence.
While I think they would remake it, the defoilator shells were likely destroyed from all sources, Palpatine wouldn't want the gun to succeed, and dooku was probably tasked with killing the guy in charge of the project when he saw how well it worked
@@calebbarnhouse496 We're talking about something that was probably saved on a digital storage medium, not just on a single computer, not on a single computer, but on multiple networks. They wouldn't be stupid enough not to do this. Meaning that if the Yuuzhan Vong arc ever happened, someone would have tried to reclaim that lost data, at all cost. It's the perfect plot device.
@Bib B except it wasn't, it was a weapon being developed in secret, that prototype and a single computer system is it, at best Palpatine would have the notes needed to make new research, and maybe a single shell to reverse engineer
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 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.
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.
Then why give it shields? Guess what the orginal lore for it was that it was a separatist wunderwaffe, highly maneuverable (literally able to fly sideways) and super fast (its 62 times faster than an X-wing), with string shields, yet cheap and simple enough to be built anywhere. Only limited by its late war design. Why the bias? Because Lucas loved the design, its his favourite prequel era design. Disney Canon nerfed it for some reason. And in a way that doesn't make sense (why would an emergency, stripped down fighter be built with shields?)
They would certainly be better suited to that role! I could imagine that, after the war, they could be sold in bulk to small, more backwater planetary/system defense forces as a really cheap security and anti-piracy defense option.
In the guidebook for the vehicles of Episode III the Mankvim's purpose was indeed described as security. It was cheap not because of desperation but because backwater peacekeeping against pirates did not require as great of an investment.
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.
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 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.
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
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 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!
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.
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 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
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
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.
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."
It actually more to do with its insane speed and maneuverability. Droids can pull off maunvers that would kill organic pilots so it's better to give a speed and maneuverability based craft to droids when available. For reference the 814 is supposed to be the fastest and most maneuverable clone wars fighter. It is 62 times faster than an x-wing.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 if that were the case I feel like they wouldn't have given it a cockpit. Should have just wired in a Droid brain. If a B1 is operating something, it implies it was built for humanoids, but they couldn't get any humanoids in it. I suppose it could make sense that they designed it for humanoids for 90% of it's development, but then gave up in the end because they just couldn't make it work.
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.)
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.
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).
Make the foot out of heavy metal, and the mine has to penetrate the entire foot in order to damage the ankle. Much easier to punch through a 6-inch plate of metal on the belly of a tank than a 2+ foot thick plate of metal on the foot-plate of an AT-AT. It also raises the body away from the ground in case of proximity mines. The other idea for long legs is to give it a much longer sight range, while keeping contact with the ground to deal with recoil.
@@toddkes5890 Why not make the belly of the tank a meter thick then? The CIS could've deployed a form of bounding mines, which would bypass the foot and take out the ankle.
@@brydon5721 Feet have a smaller cross-section than the belly of a tank, for the same tonnage. Result is that less armor is needed. Think of the MRAP, where part of its design is using an armored belly, and part of the design is getting its belly farther from the ground. For bounding mines, think about how large it would have to be to fire up a sufficiently large charge and how much easier it would be to detect.
Longer legs make the risk of falling from a mine more severe, but it greatly decreases how deadly the blast is, if you lose a foot, you can kinda keep trudging along, because that shockwave didn't do anything to anything not in the foot, while if it had to travel through 10 feet of air and then hit the belly it's much worse for the crew and tank, a bouncing mine would need quite a large system, and would be very expensive for a mine that is so specialized, ATAT desighn wise make sense for a forward assault, they just need to be more specialized, and could do with a decent decrease to height, ideally ATATs would be multiple variant, an anti starfighter variant with multiple heavy repeating blasters, particularly with the unshielded fighters of the CIS, an artillery model, capable of using rockets or other indirect fire methods after they get through whatever shield they are assaulting, to target the shield generator, and then 2 troop transports, an armored transport, a lightly armored transport, the armored would be the stock ATAT, while the lightly armored one would use it's lighter armor to be cheaper, and carry more guys and or speeder bikes, ideally however it could even carry a hover tank with it
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
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.
The ptb was considered a speeder, not a starfighter. I think the other one was space capable but more to be dropped into normal space not being able to power itself out of atmosphere
What is not mentioned in the video is the insane speed andamuverabiltiy of 814 while Canon doesn't give exact numbers for these only saying its faster and more maneuverable than other clone wars fighters. Legends said it could fly sideways and its max speed is 62 times faster than an x-wing. And in legends it also has string shields, although Canon nerfed it to be fragile even with shields. In legends it was meant to be an end of war wunderwaffe for the CIS, in Canon its a desperate stopgap design with a few good ideas.
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 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.
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!
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.

The Mank-Vim reminds me of those guns the Nazis and Japanese made from garbage at the end of the war.
Weird to see that there was already an AT-AT before the galactic empire exited.
Yep, the first-generation AT-AT was famously used during the Battle of Jabiim.
A pity its first use was a bloody failure of a battle.
Weaker design at the time.
the mankvim serves the role of interceptor though, and it looks pretty fitting for that role
Kinda reminiscent of a komet rocket interceptor the Germans built in small numbers towards the end of ww2
In sorry but is that space engineers used as footage

Mankvim is just the Star Wars version of the VB-200?
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.
So the small HAG is basically a Wraith from Halo without a secondary weapon
it's the BLT y wing and you can't convince me otherwise
When did the CIS start to have a resource shortage?
Likely the second year of the war.

And in legends it also has string shields, although Canon nerfed it to be fragile even with shields. In legends it was meant to be an end of war wunderwaffe for the CIS, in Canon its a desperate stopgap design with a few good ideas.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 neat!
It is the fighter obi one left in I think
I don't get why you would use artillery when you can just fire from orbit
Great work but hard to fallow when clips are of the wrong thing.
Fantastic!🥰❤️
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
ah yes, uses images from space engineers.

I’m full of poopy 💩
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.
👍
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!
No one cares but first
Keep up the good work
First to be a douche ?

Geetsly cares
