I feel like Lego might be referring to it as “The clone wars” as more of the event/war itself rather than the actual show. I’m definitely up for seeing more clone wars sets that don’t just appear in the show.
Such a great idea! You should do more MOD videos like this, as they're cheap and easy for people to get involved and engage with. Love seeing the more frequent uploads, looking forward to your first stream back in the new place 🙂
Thanks for making this, I love showing videos like this to my kids. I especially liked that you stated your goals and tradeoffs up front. End result looks pretty nice!
Oh dang, I actually like that canopy piece flipped. I will definitely attempt to mod mine whenever I can get it. It definitely looks better in your mod. Huh, somehow shrinking the top half made the tank look better getting rid of the redundant space.
To clarify on the clones, these are based off of the og Hasbro action figures for episode 3. These were legends clones that believed mace was the chosen one instead of anakin
I'm just glad we finally got my favorite legion of the 187th in an official LEGO set. I'm 100% down for more, and more sets with less known legions and events maybe not depicted in the show.
It’s targeted towards kids now. Play and functionality over realism. The city sets look hideous and gaudy with their bright colors and lack of realistic proportions.
@@GreenLeafUponTheSky well that's different, the star wars line is Legos oldest line of Legos and star wars generally has more older and accurately/nerdy fans
@@fish_R_stinky69 the proportions are better tho if you look at the reference picture. The windows, the back, the side cannons, and the middle chunk was way to bulky compared to the base
This looks a lot better and I myself would love a tutorial of this because my republic fighter tank is on it's way and I myself would want to make exactly like that plz do a tutorial video
I wanted to wait to see who was going to modify this before buying it. I wanted it for the mini figures. I am glad you are here, and the first one to make the changes.
Well, I was waiting for a video like that but I didn't think you would make one, can't wait to have thoses beautifull clones. This is not just an airborn clone, it's the commander of the legion.
Tutorial plz I’m trying to build a clone army ( with 501st and 187th clones) and and I want to modify my republic fighter tank so I think it will add on nicely
Bro, that looks way better than the set. I wish they did it your way becuase maybe we could've had a smaller price for it. But I love you man you are an amazing builder and a gret person.
Isn't it supposed to be based off the old battlefront 2 tank? The one from the new game doesn't even have antennas so that's why it doesn't look similar to that photo from the game.
One thing is that I wish you gave more close-ups on the model. I would've liked to see the interior where you put the front figure, but you do so in the wide shot and I can't entirely tell what's in there.
Great redesign! It looks way better. I think Lego went in the wrong direction with basing it off of the new battlefront 2 ‘s fighter tank they should of based it off of the original battlefront 2s one cause it’s just a better design and has a lot less flat 90 degrees angles
It is actually based on the old model. static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/2/2b/CW_Tank.jpg/revision/latest/top-crop/width/360/height/360?cb=20060319125541 The sticker detail gives it away.
Great work man. Appreciate your effort in fixing the fighter tank but I don't quite like where the middle section of the tank is very small although a figure is possible to fit. I still prefer the one from Lego where the figure can lie down or sit up. Lego all the way!
He did it so it can be more accurate, the proportions are great, but I think if he revised his mod again, he could probably pull off best of both worlds in the end
Your mod totally improved the overall appearance of the set! The only thing I would change or modify is the lower area where you can place a mini figure. I’d modify it to where the mini fig could sit facing forward. But all in all, you made it easier for me to purchase the set! Thanks
The clones wars base is the event. Using design cues from both the films and animation in order to create a unified thing. That way they can make clone legions and all these wonderful figs we’ve had so far without worrying about doing two different designs. I also prefer the purple markings and heavy armour pauldrons they’ve gone with because they look closer to what they were originally supposed to look like in legends. It’s also my favourite colour :)
I would really appreciate a tutorial on how to make this as I really don't like them look they made but I love yours and it could definitely lead to me purchasing a few to add to my collection for an army instead of just not getting this set.
anyone else had the issue with the turrets that they would slowly fall down? just wondering, because mine do and i want to know if i built it wrong or if its just an issue with the set.
Yup. Bought mine the other day, and I found that out the hard way. Luckily, the fix is simple. Sticking a plate version of those 4x4 turntable bricks w/pin hole between them and the hull of the tank gives them enough friction to stay up.
@@black_hole_man444You’re welcome. I will say though, I’m very curious myself how it passed quality control. This set has a lot of beginner mistakes that I would expect of 2008 and 2009 The Clone Wars sets, not a 2022 set, Star Wars or otherwise. And here I was, thinking we’d moved past the era of rookie mistakes like not accounting for overly low friction with certain pieces, making a door on the back that always wants to fall off rather than making a door that actually stays on, and not coming up with literally ANY way of securing the antennas, rather just slapping them in the stud holes of 1x3 modified tiles w/stud. Apparently, I thought wrong.
The clones in the set are from Legends, the old canon, and LEGO probably took inspiration from Hasbro, not realizing that the 187th aren’t from the new Disney Canon, and if they did, they probably reckoned the old ones would sell better. That’s just my two-cents.
i literally told myself when we got full reveal pictures of this, there's no way i m buying this without smn making a good mod of it. Well i think this is just that. Great fix
Mace Windu used the 91st recon core troopers throughout the seven seasons of the clone wars. The 187th was a legends clone trooper legion that was brought by hasbro in 2005. It would be awesome if it became canon again.
I really like the overall design of your redesign. My only gripe about it though is that the canopy piece use on the nose of the tank now narrows in the wrong spot.
The very first Lego fighter tank that came out I thought was the best one. It just needs some work on the top and that’s it to make it even more awesome
This is a new issue because my first fighter tank didn't have this problem, but Lego must have modified the round 4x4 brick for the guns because mine are now floppy. There is no tension between the technic pin and the mounted cannon. I think Lego modified the round 4x4 and forgot how it's original design was integral to the function of this tank's cannons.
Hi, great video! The figures attract me, but the construction is just bad, so I will definitely try this procedure. It's great and I'd love for you to do the tutorial.
Since when does LEGO care about accuracy when it comes to Star Wars products? I mean they gave us a clone commander in the UCS Gunship and called it a pilot.
I feel like Lego might be referring to it as “The clone wars” as more of the event/war itself rather than the actual show. I’m definitely up for seeing more clone wars sets that don’t just appear in the show.
I agree, but there’s Lowkey no point in doing that as there’s still hundreds of clone wars sets they could make.
Is that the excuse for why they UCS gunship said “as seen in star wars the clone wars” rather than Attack of the Clones?
@@bacondorito well the gunships are in the clone wars too
@@themanwhowouldbebrick true but the minifigs are clearly EP II based. And the doors close all the way in TCW, only half way in the movies
Exactly the Clone Wars can include episode 1 and 2 instead of only the cartoon show.
The trooper design is based of some hasbro action figures.
So that's why they look different.
Dang you beat me to it.
Are the ones in clone wars s7 even 187th? I alwasy thought they were 91st
@@leko7234 The ones in the show were never said to be the 187th. They were just know as Mace's Unit.
Tbh, I think the legends designs are better for clones that fight with Mace.
And the airborne trooper is a commander, he just uses the airborne helmet.
Looks way better than the official set love to see a tutorial
This looks great! I'm definitely going to take a crack at reverse engineering your design, and I wouldn't say no to a tutorial of some sort:)
If you figure out how to copy the design could you upload it?
@@k.f.cchicken2807 That's a good idea! It's been a while since I uploaded anything...
The Brickster if you do that’d be appreciated
Would also appreciate this, particularly if you include a bricklink list of all the required extra parts.
@The Brickster If you figure it out instructions would be great
This does look really good. I’d love if you made a tutorial showing the parts list and how you went about it
Would love a short tutorial on the steps you took. I want to see if I can use your design, while also using as few extra parts as possible
Such a great idea! You should do more MOD videos like this, as they're cheap and easy for people to get involved and engage with. Love seeing the more frequent uploads, looking forward to your first stream back in the new place 🙂
Yes! Part list would be great! Your version looks fantastic. I agree with your mod decisions. Nice work!
I love the purple troopers. They just fit Mace Windu so well, only reason I’m getting the set
Thanks for making this, I love showing videos like this to my kids. I especially liked that you stated your goals and tradeoffs up front. End result looks pretty nice!
Just got mine recently! Love the figures~ a tutorial to improve the tank would be pretty neat though.

The purple 187th troopers are based off of an old Hasbro Battle Pack before TCW show. It's a cool throwback I never thought Lego would do.
Instructions and a list of extra parts outside of the actual set would be so nice.
Pls make a tutorial, you killed it, love the redesign
The clones from the clone wars weren't 187th, they were 91st recon corp or something like so
That looks so good, I love lego but I don't understand how they aren't able to make accurate and playable sets like they used to.
It’s targeted towards kids now. Play and functionality over realism. The city sets look hideous and gaudy with their bright colors and lack of realistic proportions.

rarely does them unfortunately
I like the original.
The custom one is too small.

Tutorial plz I’m trying to build a clone army ( with 501st and 187th clones) and and I want to modify my republic fighter tank so I think it will add on nicely
This is why lego needs to pay people like you to make lego sets and Moc creators
MAKE A TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU MADE IT
Bro this looks freaking amazing, I swear this could've been the default set and I would've never guessed lol
Bro, that looks way better than the set. I wish they did it your way becuase maybe we could've had a smaller price for it. But I love you man you are an amazing builder and a gret person.
I would really like a tutorial but with a more reasonable piece for the cannons than that dome brick
You made the Battlefront 2 design perfectly good job David 🔥
Would definitely love to see a tutorial, great improvement
The giant slope is just too big and clunky looking
Remember why it's there, to be able to get the other clone into the tank
Your design is better because he looks like the real on star wars
Isn't it supposed to be based off the old battlefront 2 tank? The one from the new game doesn't even have antennas so that's why it doesn't look similar to that photo from the game.
It's a mix between different models. Not just the battle front version. That's why it looks off
bro lego fans are never happy i thought this set was the best clone set for a little while
Great improvement to the set. Please, can you do a tutorial for the mods?

I would absolutely love to see a tutorial since your version looks so much more accurate!
1:56 Maybe 187th Jet Troopers have different colored markings similar to the Red Clones of the 327th despite Yellow being the main color.
That's a great redesign
a tutorial on this would be really cool along with a link to the parts you added to it
Great job! I would love a quick tutorial and parts list!
I think your redesign looks gorgeous. O would love to see a tutorial
I would love the tutorial please, and all the extra pieces needed to modified it. Thanks
I wish I could just go and purchase this one
found this and its been around an hour since trying to find the design, this man deff big brain :)
Could you make a how to to build the fighter tank
I would make it a brick thicker on each side
Please, make a tutorial. This looks fantastic and I really want to build it.
I was about to comment but then you perfectly summed up my thoughts, "its definitely not perfect but in my opintion it does improve the design"
Hey the dark red troopers In season 7 of TCW are 91 recon troopers not 187th
I would really like to have a tutorial/instructions
I would absolutly love it! if you made a video tutorial on how to change it to be like that
Wow this design looks fantastic, if I didn't like to leave my sets the way lego designed them I would absolutely try to build this model.
Great work man.
