The mental image of a group of clones who were using an ion engine vehicle to travel on a jungle planet having to, with great confusion, stop to shoo away large beasts who mistook the sounds it made for their species mating call is just priceless for some reason. I wonder how long it took for them to get answers as to why these random, large animals just keep popping up seemingly expecting something else, and how that answer musta felt once they figured it out. Not to mention how it musta felt for the clone in charge of briefing the troops in their usual no-nonsense tone to explain why the animals keep showing up to harass their ground vehicles.
I like to think that in all the different comics and such where the heroes end up in a jungle and absolutely everything is constantly attacking them, this is the reason. I imagine the Clones were like Clone 1 "not another jungle planet, ugh, everything constantly attacking us and spraying acid everywhere" Jedi: "Wildlife is not such a thing to dread. Remain strong and do not allow fear to become you, and even large predators will normally leave you be." Clone 1 "It's not the fighting, we're built for that. It's that it happens eight times a day." Jedi "Um. That's not normal." Clone 2 "Sir, I had to fight off another. I hate this slime they spray, glad our armor is chemical resistant. I'd hate to find out how much this acid would burn on skin." Jedi "... It wouldn't burn." Clone 2 "Whaddya mean?" Jedi "That's not acid."
So for once, the Empire actually made the technologically right move by keeping the Swamp Speeders around. Sadly, the money wasted on Death Star instead of the TIE-Defender program is still a big waste.
Ion engines sounded like the mating calls of local apex predators? Wow... Spare a thought for the poor test pilot who had to find that out the hard way...
Not least used, more like least seen onscreen and on-page. Kinda like the lancer droids and clones and the Droid Assault Flyer. And if it satisfies 'ya, they at least became more seen and useful starter vehicles/cannon fodder in the Empire at War eras (Thrawn's Revenge included).
1000% underrated and would have been super effective on Umbara for sure. The design is really cool too, still have 4 of the 2011 Lego sets in my collection simply for the aesthetic.
Since I never noticed this in the movies, I always assumed that it was some sort of lego original, like a cheap to make star warsy looking thing they could throw into some sets.
By far always has been my favorite Star Wars vehicle as it’s is so unique even compared to other Star Wars media, greatly underrated and sadly overshadowed by basically everything else
Once again, the Republic creates a weapon that could have won the war, yet they refrain from using it to its full potential. I would say that I could use this weapon, but I am afraid my B1 units may crash it into a tree upon attempting to use it.
It sounds like it was treated as a specialist unit for specific terrains (perhaps because it wasn't a KDY/Rothana walker), and was seldom deployed outside of them, even when it would have been advantageous to do so.
So basically the STUGs of the Clone Wars, OP in its role; infantry support, highly effective and produced in huge number but overshadowed by its bigger cousins by everyone
How about some videos that focus on vehicles and ships from Empire at War, Such as: MC-80 Freedom MC-80 Alliance MC-80 Independence(Home One type) Bellator-Class Super Star Destroyer Gladiator-Class Star Destroyer And so much more
So basically the ISP is the least impressive of the Republic and Imperial vehicles, which is why it's not used as much despite its effectiveness. Not massively mind you, it does its job well, to borrow an analogy from the TH-camr JPRPokemonTrainer98, it didn't drop out of school or something, and it's got a good job, a nice house, and a decent car to drive for fun on weekdays, but all the other vehicles that got much more uses are apparently millionaires by comparison so they get more use and focus. But that's just how life goes, some are born to be great and others are born to be ISPs. LOL.
A strange analogy, that. Sure beats the underused capabilities of the AT-AP, and both vehicles did get new leases in from the Galactic Civil War onwards.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Strand, but fun. Maybe will see these vechicals more in stories during the early years of the Empire like the Bad Batch, those resisting the Empire can use whatever they can get their hands on.
Still watching/listening but it seems like the IFT Fighter Tank would be preferable with similar maneuverability and better protection. Is it that much smaller?
Though i usually prefer the BARC Speeder, i do still quite like the ISP. Been a fan of its design for years. Ever since i got the LEGO 2010 Republic Swamp Speeder.
How's about a video on the different Republic, rebel, and Imperial land vehicles that have shields? Why? I'm curious 1, two been seeing some vids with games that have both warhammer and Star wars factions in them and am sick to the teeth of the Star Wars factions being severely misrepresented in terms of power. What I mean is if you make a mod with star wars and 40k. The power stats for the star wars weapons and shields should be the same as the Tau. Why? Tau weapons Fire plasma, All Star wars blasters bolts and turbo laser bolts are plasma by their definition. Tau have shield mechs and vehicles, star wars has shielded droids and vehicles. They're weapons fire power and shield/armor stats should practically be the same. Now after saying all this honestly, I will also say this honestly, not arguing with anyone about this topic now, which SW land vehicles have shields and which don't, but fear that could happen in the near future (IDKW) and am rusty on my personal SW vehicle data. So really up to you if you want to help me out or not. I just wanted to throw out here.🤷♂
It was a pretty versatile little vehicle you could have 2 Dual Blaster Cannons Or 2 Missile Pods Or 2 Composite Beam Cannons A pack of these with all of its varied weaponry would be pretty devastating.

It's funny that in Star wars they barely exist considering they've been made into Lego sets a lot
They used so many different, but very special variety of vehicles.
So for once, the Empire actually made the technologically right move by keeping the Swamp Speeders around. Sadly, the money wasted on Death Star instead of the TIE-Defender program is still a big waste.
This may just be me but I never thought of it as an forgotten vehicle, but that is probably just due to how many sets lego has made of it.
Lol, yup. Four swamp speeders, one AT-OT, and zero UT-ATs
It's inclusion in Empire at War made it a common vehicle to me, even if it wasn't directly recruitable.
@@MrTreefoz*Laughs in mods*
The days where Star Wars committed to worldbuilding. Instead of Copy pasting Star Destroyers.
Ah yes the good ole days!
Okay in fairness the old days were committed to world building *and* copy pasting start destroyers.
@SmokeyMountainSuccubus I'd rather have the copy paste star destroyers than whatever this garbage they put out now is.
@@brightlord-ov7cmwah wah wah
@fishjesusch aw did what I said hurt your feefees? Need a hug? Go ask your mom when you get out of your basement.
The republic as a lot of coolest advance technology in star wars

Least used usually means most beloved by me. I love the obscure underdogs.
I remember them from Forces of Corruption, Stampers Ho!
*coughs in T-Wing*
Man remember the canderous tanks? Those things have a special place in my heart.
@@rokmun680 Now those war machines fulfilled their namesake's glory.
1000% underrated and would have been super effective on Umbara for sure. The design is really cool too, still have 4 of the 2011 Lego sets in my collection simply for the aesthetic.
I just got the flashback of owning this set, I even remember the droideka it came with.

one species ion engine is another species mating call
By far always has been my favorite Star Wars vehicle as it’s is so unique even compared to other Star Wars media, greatly underrated and sadly overshadowed by basically everything else
Such a little known yes effective vehicle. And so underutilized. Not to mention under-appreciated.
Once again, the Republic creates a weapon that could have won the war, yet they refrain from using it to its full potential. I would say that I could use this weapon, but I am afraid my B1 units may crash it into a tree upon attempting to use it.

3:45 I remember it more from EOW than anything else.
So basically the STUGs of the Clone Wars, OP in its role; infantry support, highly effective and produced in huge number but overshadowed by its bigger cousins by everyone
I don't know, it doesn't look a vehicle a certain Hippopotamus Team can use.
Because Palps wanted to try and keep a more level playing field
How about some videos that focus on vehicles and ships from Empire at War, Such as:
MC-80 Freedom
MC-80 Alliance
MC-80 Independence(Home One type)
Bellator-Class Super Star Destroyer
Gladiator-Class Star Destroyer
And so much more
The Senate was tacticians’ biggest nightmare to face.
That bit about the ion engines and the mating call was lore I did not know I DESPERATELY neded
I could never forget this loss sweetheart, I've got two Lego sets of these
The description checks out. LEGO made a lot of less known concepts more popular
Let’s be real anyone who remembers the ISP is because of LEGO
The lego versions of those are always fun to build and play with.
@@theauraone7755 facts
The most annoying vehicle encountered from the hutts in Star wars EAW

Maybe will see these vechicals more in stories during the early years of the Empire like the Bad Batch, those resisting the Empire can use whatever they can get their hands on.
These will forever be remembered by me because of the lego kashyyyk battle pack that had one
7:43 It is known for sure,the wiki confirms it.
ISPs finally getting some love!
Still watching/listening but it seems like the IFT Fighter Tank would be preferable with similar maneuverability and better protection. Is it that much smaller?
Though i usually prefer the BARC Speeder, i do still quite like the ISP. Been a fan of its design for years. Ever since i got the LEGO 2010 Republic Swamp Speeder.
I see the Titanium of this all the time on Ebay.
Finally someone did the lore of this vehicle
How many of these things have I've blown up in Empire at War
RIP the early Clones who got the Ion engine version.
oh crap... i actually have the lego swamp speeder somewhere! and the wookie catamaran with it!
From a cannon stand point I would liked to have seen more isp’s they remind me of almost like a Bradley a versatile light armored vehicle
Now, I'd like to see an "ugly" "starfighter" version! 🤣
I only know about this vehicle because of lego 💀
Imagine if the empire had psyop girls like lujan doing recruitment videos and photo ops.
Not everything is a psyop man
@josiahcochran8290 I said, * "imagine if the empire had psyop girls like lujan doing recruitment videos and ops." * keyword here is imagine.
Infantry Support Platform FTW.
Yesss one my favorite vehicles who else had one of these as a kid ?
I had a Lego set of this once!
I only knew about this vehicle thanks to lego haha
Did more research and found it interesting
Nice episode.
Empire at war uses them!
most used by lego tho

Ok who is here cause of seeing this in legion and wanting to know more about it like me
Unfortunately, it's one of the underread Vehicle Interesting that I only remember from Lego sets Same as, AT-AP
It's sounds like your saying assinal instead of arsenal
It was a pretty versatile little vehicle you could have
2 Dual Blaster Cannons
Or
2 Missile Pods
Or
2 Composite Beam Cannons
A pack of these with all of its varied weaponry would be pretty devastating.
👍
Dude the music is way too loud for how high pitched it is, made it unwatchable.

Damn, I'm early.
ISP are very impressive!
They were super helpful in Empire at war!
As rare as they were to get in that!
