Sly11[Admin] Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 These guys were lucky enough to get access to all the specs and files to build this beast from the studio.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Stefan posted on the legion boards if anyone had info on the riders, I would have thought he'd ask LFL since they obviously gave him references of the speeder Nice to see some EPVIII Stormies getting a ride though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Appears FISD may get another version of FOTK after all, tread speeder rider has a few differences from a standard FOTK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger[IPM] Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Do I spy soft armor shins? Hope this stays here and not Pathfinders, would love a sittable TK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Different thighs, shins, knee plates, boots, boot covers, forearms and handplate color is different in some images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 To be perfectly honest, this may well go to ACD. Thank you maninthesuitcase (Chris) for bringing this to my attention. In their mission statement it does say the words "in control of a vehicle" so if we want it, we will have a fight on our hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucnak[TK] Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Not sure how I feel about this TK variant. I kind of like it in some of the figures and kind of don't. I think it's a question of the white and black areas balancing out well. It will be interesting to see what it looks like on screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO[TK] Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 A bit of background on this trooper. The bikes were built as practical driving vehicles for stunts. Parts of the cat-tracks were very prone to falling off. Armour was standard FOTK above the waist with white canvas like material trousers. The forearms and biceps were simply part painted black. The shins and knees were all bench built. The boots worn by the stunt team were a style of Alpine Star motorbike boots with everything stuck on top to hide the fact.

LTM[TK] Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Would this be practical for a parade vehicle? Or for the stunts did they use a back support that was removed via movie magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with Han’s speeder in SOLO, Rey’s speeder in TFA and the Pasaana skiffs in TROS it had wheels which were removed digitally.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think the answer of which det goes to will be interesting. If it's just an FOTK on a vehicle, it's still just an FOTK. There has to be some material difference between the CRL we have and that character to even warrant a new CRL, let alone a variation of one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
