This is what happens when you tell your defense contractor you want a sandcrawler with enough munitions to level a city, and enough speed to make road runner jealous
There's actually a point to its top speed, think about it not all planets are the same. The shows usually assumes earth like gravity but what about planets that are double or triple? Double alone would cut the speed by more than half making the beefy power plant have a meaning.
Rebel Alliance making use of Juggernauts make sense as they're not picky in using Clone Wars-era weaponry and equipment they can get their hands on in fighting the Galactic Empire.
Not to mention it was generally better than the equipment that the Empire had. Even the Empire themselves used this tank a lot of times, but mainly as a transport on penal worlds and thrall worlds full of slaves.
We are still using M2 Browning machine gun! If it works well don’t lay it off. Heck, Empire probably uses the same detonators old republic used back in sith war
imagine the terror you'd feel if you was trying to get away from this monstrosity on a speeder bike and it's actually trying to run you down and flatten you🤣🤣
Go find an AT-AT an play Chicken with it .. That could be fun... An maybe bit funny too, especially if can make the AT-AT rear up like a horse an charge like an Elephant first while the Jug revs it's huge engine doin it's Monster Truck from Hell bit
The Double Cockpit design is famously used in the Puma Recon vehicle from the Wehrmacht. The Juggernaut Tank is basically the Puma Tank on Steroids and designed as a transporter because it also had the wheeled tank approach and was able to combat Tanks with it's 50mm Canon
interestingly, most of the large armored cars from that era had twin driver systems, not just the sdkfz 234. Some examples are the Italian AB-41, the French EBR
Honestly, with how often the rebels ran understaffed, you load up supplies for this thing with only 100 rebeks and that would essentially be a mobile rebel base
12:52 how is the Juggernaut not in line with the Tarkin Doctrine? I’d argue that it’s even more in line with it than the ATAT due to its firepower, defenses, and the amount of troops it could hold. It seems even more terrifying than an AT-AT which only has line of sight weapons while the Juggernaut has missiles, grenades, & line of sight weapons.
Tarkin Doctrine did involve a fair bit of "form over function" And a giant rolling cube doesn't evoke the same kind of "lizard brain fear" as a giant four-legged walker. And if all else fails: blame the discrepancy on some officer with an over-inflated ego and more influence than brains. This is the Empire, you can't go more than a dozen steps without one tripping you up.
Plus, like many things, the empire like cheap, replaceable things over awesome yet difficult to fix and produce things like the juggernaut. Maintenance must have been a nightmare with it and it could only be produced on shipyards, which already had their hands full with Star Destroyers. Plus, these guys were more difficult to get planet side. Needed a whole ass ship landing to get these guys on the ground. ATAT was deployable via Gozanti, and had less moving parts. So easier deployment and maintenance.
Waste of resources both in potential resouces lost and the cost for planet destroying weapons. But hey the Republic lasted for ghousands of years and the empire less than 30. We both know they were doing something wrong.@@FailRaceFan
The thing is they could still do that with more, and cheaper ships. Plenty of ships that were imposing, non-republic designs that were also effective. Heck they still used republic era ships in the outer and mid rim for a few years after the CWs@@chichiboypumpi
In the 70's and early 80's this vehicle would have had it's own show. Then a Christmas special with Kit from Knight Rider and the Duke boy's General Lee.
Maybe a flimsy Tau apc at most. Most Imperial ground vehicles employed by the Astartes and the Militarum are capable of confidently taking on the Juggernaut and have a solid chance at winning.
@isengarde9490 As much as I likę the warhammer universe, a tau devilfish is around 10 metres while the juggernaut is easily the size of some of the smaller titans and the height of a questoris knight if not more. It would be very powerful even in warhammer battlefields
What I find interesting is, that the A6 Juggernaut has 2 Variants. And those Variants just differ in Size. The one seen in TCW where Ahsoka stands on has 8 Wheels and not 10 and is also like just 2 times as long as the ATTE, even though the movie one is like for times as long as an ATTE. Why make such a big size difference?
Probably the same reason the Empire made theirs smaller and lighter, the smaller 8 wheeler one could travel along narrower paths and on areas where the big one just couldn't go through without it being a massive hassle(think of that Ryloth episode where Windu's ATTE's were travelling along the edge of a mountain while the droids shoot at them). At least this is my reasoning for making 2 variants that only differ in size.
in legends it was actually two versions the V5 was the smaller 8 wheeler while the V6 was the big one Makes sense to mean to allow more flexibility in deployment. Not all planets have the space for the big one
6:29 I don't know about any large utility vehicle with this design, but a swedish tank Stridsvagn 103 had a back facing second driver-radio operator so that it could quickly retreat from position using its high revese speed
IN the Galactic Battlegrounds game, these were the top of the Rebel tech tree. once you had three or four of these with airspeeder cover you basically won. They could pretty much one-shot AT-ATs or shield walls.
I don't remember them one-shotting AT-ATs. They were equivalent to AT-ATs, and did well against any fortifications, like the other siege mechs, but they weren't that strong. Was there a tech for them I missed?
I don't remember them being able to one shot AT-ATs either. I still have AoE2 in space, er, I mean Galactic Battlegrounds, but it doesn't run right on Win 10. I kinda want to play it again just to see if I missed something with unit balance.
@@jamesh2321 It was either massed fire from multiple hitting a group of AT-ATs (aoe damage was a hell of a drug in that game) or it was due to the Air Speeders softening them up (because Air Speeders did absolutely ridiculous damage to vehicles). The AT-AT WAS the stronger vehicle at max upgrades, but the Alliance had overall better tools that allowed the A6 to slot in nicely in a more combined role. Also air superiority was the true name of the game, and the Empire absolutely SUCKED at it. The DLC Republic faction, on the other hand...
For heavy warfare, the GAR should have made some variants. A big shield generator like the Gungans used at Naboo would be a great addition to large troop formations. Imagine one moving at speed to provid cover to a raiding force as they advanced over open ground - such a vehicle could have prevented thousands of Clone causalities at the first battle of Geonosis. The chassis could easily hold the weight, and if the troop capacity is reduced then most of the Shield generator can be kept within the hull. Another variant is of course the BFG mounted on top. Slap the heaviest weapon you can fit in the biggest turret that can be mounted, and you're one shotting anything on the battlefield. A heavy Turbolaser or ion cannon from a capital ship seems appropriate.
They really don't get enough credit for giving names and pictures for a lot of things only barely mentioned in other media... of course, they don't really exist anymore, at least not where the SWRPG is concerned, so that may be part of it, but still. D6>D20. I'll die on that hill. WEG forever. Hundreds of hours of great campaigns and great friends.
@@jamesh2321the WOTC version (Saga Edition) is okay despite being a horribly unbalanced mess, but it works well for players more familiar with actual Dungeons and Dragons rules than less mainstream TTRPG systems. Never had a chance to try the WEG version, though.
Devs never should have nerfed Juggernauts. It’s the one unit the rebels had that was somewhat ok eventhough us empire players always had superior turrets…. For those that have read this far, I am referring to an old mobile game called Star Wars: Commander. I kinda miss that game quite a bit.
Ngl I was thinking you were referring to recent Helldivers 2 nerfs, cause that’s basically been what everyone’s been saying about _insert weapon name here_
I am glad someone tells the ins and out of things that don’t make sense like yes why was the empire ones smaller and less armed and that there is two versions of the smaller one thank guys I watch everyday now for years and never disappoint never !!
I know it says on paper it was taller than an at at but if you look at the scenes with it in it comparing its size to clones on the ground next to it and then the at at to luke in episode 5 the at at is definitely much taller. Also at like 5 mins you can see the at te is about the same hight as the juggernaut. And in rebels you seen the at te is much smaller than an at at
Please talk more about the logistics vehicles too. They're quite underrated, especially in Star Wars. I've heard of this Masive starship freighter that uses energy boubles to enclose the cargo, and it's so long and heavy it can't be bothered to do a full stop, so the cargo have to be taken out while it's moving. I need to revisit it to be sure. Edit: Yup, it exists
honestly seem that the Empire look at logistic as the RL Imperial Japanese Army look at it...aka something for pussy, that not bring honor and glory and can be done by the most idiot of the soldiers while the real men do the fight
The A5 variant of the Juggernaut made it into the the Imperial Sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars RPG, which also gave us the Interdictor Cruiser.
8x8 with Front and Rear driving stations = WWII German/Wehrmacht SdKfz.231/232/233 (early war) & SdKfz.234 Family Schwerer Panzerspähwagen (Heavy Armored Cars) used for Recon, Command, Radio, Tank Destroyers, Infantry Fire Support...depending on variant. During the Cold War the West German Bundeswehr had the Spähpanzer Luchs (Lynx) 8x8 Heavy Recon Vehicle (1975-2009) that also had Front and Rear driving stations. Hope that helps.
I just want a new Empire at War with Rebellion starting right after Ep III Scavanging old tech and clone wars cast offs Recruit alien freedom fighters, pay for an array of one mission/job mercs/smugglers/pirates Empire works on paid dev cycles for different arms corporations and picking between different imperial supported projects, maybe excavating ancient sith relics or technologies for reverse engineering in Palps secret programs. How'd I get on this again? Oh right Would love to see Wookiees and rebels in and atop a Juggernought blasting everything they have 🎉
This to me is probably the most dangerous land vehicle we've seen in the Star Wars series so far because of how lethal even the frame is unintentionally
More like 2 houses for most people... half a football field long... (almost). 50 yards is 150 feet, that's the size of a standard lot in a suburban subdivision... that includes the front and back yard AND the house.
I think I first learned about it in the Old Star Wars Encyclopedia by Slavicek, then later in various games of the prequel era. I want to say one of the old sourcebooks had not only the juggernaut tank but also the HAWR Flying Fortress as well which is basically a juggernaut that can fly.
@@GenerationTech there are certain construction vehicle with a rear mount excavator arm where the driver’s seat swivels around to operate it…. And that control station allows for low gear maneuvering…. I also drove a road roller in german that had a wide bench seat, a steering while that slide to the left and right on a rail … instead of turning it around the wheel was detached, the bench seat pushed forward and flipped back…. Then the wheel was reattached to another rail “behind” the bench and the thing drove in reverse …. It was made so that the operator could go back and forth without turning, or looking over their shoulder, and the driver could sit on the edge of either side to get the rollers as close as possible to the sides of the road…. We were over their rebuilding the tank trails at Hohenfels Army Base and they stuck three of us in the cab and had us going back and forth packing down the road bed all day The other thing you MIGHT be thinking of is on the show Ice Road Truckers one of the episodes had them hauling a rather large piece of mining equipment on a trailer with two ends with a truck mounted in the back to help spread the weight and provide reverse steer maneuvering
I remember for bad batch star wars night, I was falling asleep, and I woke up JUST enough to see the imperial version, say "imagine parallel parking that thing" and immediately go back to sleep.
Could you use 2x2 round or square jumpers in the center of the round portion? In your tower scenario, will a technic pin fit? And you could use the pin x axel in the 2x2 round brick. Build up using rectangular bricks with rounded corners? Love all your content. You should do a greebling episode for city, castle, fantasy and sci-fic builds.
I first thought resistance to a Jedi mind trick went down to the individual . . Could individual human have resistance to a mind tricks some. Maybe more to kinds mind tricks like chemical or convictions . Or training or over exposure. Maybe a sith mind trick would simply be adding pain for disagreeing . With them negative emotions
To be fair, even with that insane ten-wheel independent suspension, the only way you are getting 99 mph is on a hard surface road in a straight line. Anything else bends physics more than hyperspace.
12:31 There was a mini tank in Legend. A5-RX Battle Tank. It appeared in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron/Elite Squadron. The Clone Wars Comic 6.18.
But modern Lucasfilm relies on those old sketches too much. And they’re also doing it to be cheap. Colin Cantwell didn’t even know his old Star Destroyer design sketch was being used for Solo (although the scene was later deleted). A fan pointed out a diecast toy of it released for the movie before Cantwell even knew they were using his design. He wasn’t paid or credited. Probably why they named the design for him when it appears in Andor. But hardly any if the modern designs hold a candle to OT designs. Just updated X-Wings and reverted TIEs and BB-8. Look at the sets of that starship interior in the opening scene of Ahsoka. Empty and looks like it’s made from soft foam.
So it's basically a smaller more mobile land tank CC as seen in other scifi franchises. Those wheels though, the entire unit as a matter of fact would require an enormous maintenance effort and give the motor pool quite the headache.
Seeing the size comparison between the Juggernaut and the AT-AT, the Juggernaut is a more intimidating vehicle than the AT-AT due to its sheer size alone.
so question for people how would you improve on the A 6 for the republic vs the empire? i'd take away some of that 200 extr atone of cargo to install a sheild generator for that extra survivability, maybe a few more smaller rocket/ grenade pods aswell
I was watching the Star Wars movies with my heavy machinery mechanic friend and when he saw the AT-ATs he was all like 'those things would be a nightmare to maintain. Those legs hauling all that armor, that's, like, 12 points of critical failure right there.' Then we saw the Juggernaut and its 10 'wheels within wheels' wheels and individual suspension rigs each the size of an industrial excavator and he said aloud 'so are the clones maintaining these things? Because the maintenance crews must have a weekly turnover rate due to suicide' Leave it to the technicians to spoil a nice bit of scifi fantasy...
Post Clone Wars, a repurposed Juggernaut would make a great Planetary exploration vehicle for studying a newly discovered World. Replace the troop capacity and some of the weapons (maybe) with science labs and long term accommodations and it can take a team on a long tour across a continent, with regular stops to take samples and examine the biosphere and local geology in fine detail. And if any of the local life turns out to be giant monsters, that's where the weapons and armour come in handy.
The Juggernaut isnt even the only vehicle in Star Wars with double cockpit systems. There's the Oprhanmaker gunship from the Jedi-Sith Wars in Legends, but im sure there's another design like that somewhere in the galaxy.
This is what happens when you tell your defense contractor you want a sandcrawler with enough munitions to level a city, and enough speed to make road runner jealous

You make it like it's all vintage stone age era stuff , they were literally used about 10 to 20 years ago 😂🎉
Not to mention it was generally better than the equipment that the Empire had. Even the Empire themselves used this tank a lot of times, but mainly as a transport on penal worlds and thrall worlds full of slaves.
Empire didn’t retire these so when they do get their hands one it must feel like hitting the lottery

@@astrolonim2032The Puma wasn’t exactly large. It’s a recon vehicle. That has wheels.
Wasn’t it the reconnaissance combat vehicle?

And no more Acilmators as landing ships, the A6 probably couldn’t be carried by a Gazonti.
I think they mean the newer, slimmed down imperial variant.
Not very Tarkin Doctrine adherent to reduce the size and firepower of a vehicle after all.

The Juggernaut really just screams "I made a huge rover in Kerbal Space Program."
I just want a new Empire at War with Rebellion starting right after Ep III
Scavanging old tech and clone wars cast offs
Recruit alien freedom fighters, pay for an array of one mission/job mercs/smugglers/pirates
Empire works on paid dev cycles for different arms corporations and picking between different imperial supported projects, maybe excavating ancient sith relics or technologies for reverse engineering in Palps secret programs.
How'd I get on this again?
Oh right
Would love to see Wookiees and rebels in and atop a Juggernought blasting everything they have 🎉
I kinda want a new version OF rebellion, the 'death by 1000 clicks' RTS game that came before EaW and is mostly forgotten... but I loved it.
This to me is probably the most dangerous land vehicle we've seen in the Star Wars series so far because of how lethal even the frame is unintentionally
Allen, can you imagine someone making a 1:1 scale model for this??? I mean it would be like a huge house.
More like 2 houses for most people... half a football field long... (almost). 50 yards is 150 feet, that's the size of a standard lot in a suburban subdivision... that includes the front and back yard AND the house.
Yeah 3 pointing this thing would be a challenge even to the best big rig drivers
I think I first learned about it in the Old Star Wars Encyclopedia by Slavicek, then later in various games of the prequel era. I want to say one of the old sourcebooks had not only the juggernaut tank but also the HAWR Flying Fortress as well which is basically a juggernaut that can fly.
The Juggernaut would’ve been an excellent vehicle to use in a desert planet
I think it was the Boeing long loader dual-driver truck for used for longer than usual loads that are longer than the initial length of the trailer
6:28 What came to mind was NASA`s Crawler Transporter vehicle that transports rocket parts to and from the launch site.
yes thank you
@@GenerationTech there are certain construction vehicle with a rear mount excavator arm where the driver’s seat swivels around to operate it…. And that control station allows for low gear maneuvering….
I also drove a road roller in german that had a wide bench seat, a steering while that slide to the left and right on a rail … instead of turning it around the wheel was detached, the bench seat pushed forward and flipped back…. Then the wheel was reattached to another rail “behind” the bench and the thing drove in reverse …. It was made so that the operator could go back and forth without turning, or looking over their shoulder, and the driver could sit on the edge of either side to get the rollers as close as possible to the sides of the road…. We were over their rebuilding the tank trails at Hohenfels Army Base and they stuck three of us in the cab and had us going back and forth packing down the road bed all day
The other thing you MIGHT be thinking of is on the show Ice Road Truckers one of the episodes had them hauling a rather large piece of mining equipment on a trailer with two ends with a truck mounted in the back to help spread the weight and provide reverse steer maneuvering
Actually, you can see NASA's Marion Crawler Transporter at 11:18! It was the inspiration for the mobile mining facility in that episode of Bad Batch.
I remember for bad batch star wars night, I was falling asleep, and I woke up JUST enough to see the imperial version, say "imagine parallel parking that thing" and immediately go back to sleep.
Double cockpit is similar to some trucks in fire departments. The 5th wheel ladder trucks have a guy steering the ass end.
Could you use 2x2 round or square jumpers in the center of the round portion?
In your tower scenario, will a technic pin fit? And you could use the pin x axel in the 2x2 round brick. Build up using rectangular bricks with rounded corners?
Love all your content. You should do a greebling episode for city, castle, fantasy and sci-fic builds.
I 🧡💛 Generation Tech
Some firetrucks have a dual cockpit for controlling the back half
The juggernauts are probably my all-time favorite transport ground vehicles in star wars.
"Ok, so, I'm thinking Juggernaut, but tank..."
~Empire engineer~
Bill burr in Star Wars always cracks me up lol
"The vehicle you're thinking is called "The Le Tourneau TC-Something!? It's a massive land vehicle"!😮..
One of the truck that win the Dakar race in the 80s had dual cabin and 1220hp
And 240kph top speed on sand 😂😂
The DAF 3300 4x4 “Tweekoppige Monster”?
@@akilaes was thinking of the daf turboTwin
Same team ran both
I still never seen those "Spiders." On that Mandalorian show😂🤦🏽♂️
4:33 "WHOOOOOO"
Hearing the charlie whoooooo made me laugh
I first thought resistance to a Jedi mind trick went down to the individual . . Could individual human have resistance to a mind tricks some. Maybe more to kinds mind tricks like chemical or convictions . Or training or over exposure.
Maybe a sith mind trick would simply be adding pain for disagreeing . With them negative emotions
To be fair, even with that insane ten-wheel independent suspension, the only way you are getting 99 mph is on a hard surface road in a straight line.
Anything else bends physics more than hyperspace.
i would love to see this thing in andor.would perfectly fit the overwhelming feeling of dread the empire has in that show.
Well it was in rogue one (imperial version)
12:31 There was a mini tank in Legend. A5-RX Battle Tank. It appeared in
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron/Elite Squadron.
The Clone Wars Comic 6.18.
But modern Lucasfilm relies on those old sketches too much. And they’re also doing it to be cheap.
Colin Cantwell didn’t even know his old Star Destroyer design sketch was being used for Solo (although the scene was later deleted). A fan pointed out a diecast toy of it released for the movie before Cantwell even knew they were using his design. He wasn’t paid or credited. Probably why they named the design for him when it appears in Andor.
But hardly any if the modern designs hold a candle to OT designs. Just updated X-Wings and reverted TIEs and BB-8.
Look at the sets of that starship interior in the opening scene of Ahsoka. Empty and looks like it’s made from soft foam.
There's a reason some of those old sketches weren't used.
The only thing missing from this is to guitarists and drums from Fury Road.
🤘😎👌

So it's basically a smaller more mobile land tank CC as seen in other scifi franchises. Those wheels though, the entire unit as a matter of fact would require an enormous maintenance effort and give the motor pool quite the headache.
1:35 I think the cruiser is just a mass produced standardized variation of the mc30
11:14 the hummer H1 is for assaulting enemy outposts with a squad, the H3 is for assaulting the grocery store with a small army of children.

this thing was the most badass lego set of all time when Revenge of the Sith came out
Large armored cars in WWII sometimes had a reverse driver's position.
Seeing the size comparison between the Juggernaut and the AT-AT, the Juggernaut is a more intimidating vehicle than the AT-AT due to its sheer size alone.
It seems they lied to us about a lot of things
so question for people how would you improve on the A 6 for the republic vs the empire? i'd take away some of that 200 extr atone of cargo to install a sheild generator for that extra survivability, maybe a few more smaller rocket/ grenade pods aswell
Thanks to you I want 12 of these now
Heck yeah, new video
I was watching the Star Wars movies with my heavy machinery mechanic friend and when he saw the AT-ATs he was all like 'those things would be a nightmare to maintain. Those legs hauling all that armor, that's, like, 12 points of critical failure right there.'
Then we saw the Juggernaut and its 10 'wheels within wheels' wheels and individual suspension rigs each the size of an industrial excavator and he said aloud 'so are the clones maintaining these things? Because the maintenance crews must have a weekly turnover rate due to suicide'
Leave it to the technicians to spoil a nice bit of scifi fantasy...
Post Clone Wars, a repurposed Juggernaut would make a great Planetary exploration vehicle for studying a newly discovered World.
Replace the troop capacity and some of the weapons (maybe) with science labs and long term accommodations and it can take a team on a long tour across a continent, with regular stops to take samples and examine the biosphere and local geology in fine detail.
And if any of the local life turns out to be giant monsters, that's where the weapons and armour come in handy.
The Juggernaut isnt even the only vehicle in Star Wars with double cockpit systems. There's the Oprhanmaker gunship from the Jedi-Sith Wars in Legends, but im sure there's another design like that somewhere in the galaxy.
Just imagine the heat generated by this thing's brakes! It'd be enough to reignite a dying star.
