Republic heavy speeder.

This is my second entry into the speeder contest. The Republic heavy speeder was a large box shaped speeder, used for taking out large vehicles or aircraft. It was armed with two heavy blaseters (top front), four missle tubes(front), an anti-aircraft bubble turret and two small blaster turrets that come out the sides. Also, the heavy speeder has a unique feature, it's metal is magnatized to repell any metal that comes near it. This worked creat for knocking down droids, but kept the clones weapons away, and if it went near somthing metal that was hevier than it, it would be pushed away. There's two hatches on the sides and two large jets on the back.

EDIT: I know it looks too big to be a speeder, maybe a hovertank, but check out the definition of speeder:Any repulsorlift vehicle designed for planetary operations.

Sorry about the lack of pictures, I almost used up my monthly flickr amount

It's WAAY too big to be a speeder.

But it looks pretty decent! Love the cockpits!

Very nice wrecks! You greebled pretty well and I like the design. The only thing I would do is take the wheel of the side, don't really think it fits there.

I like it! A little boxy, but nonetheless I like it!

Oh no this won't do! Theres a mega blocks brand on you landscape! Other than that very big speeder.

WTF?! There is no Mega Blocks on this.

Did Lego ever make a tree stump piece?

It is a good build, but there is some box look to it.

I have scene speeders that are much bigger then this one Thunder-blade.

Actually, yes they did awhile ago!

I stand corrected by the magical wonders of bricklink.

This would make a sick tank, but it doesn't work as a speeder. On another note, the retractable blaster cannons make a win.

Don't like the retraceble laser guns. When they're out, they look rally skimmy and awkward. However, I love the rest of it. Boxes can work, and in this case, they did. Nice job!

FACEPALM!!!!

They made a bunch in the 90's for the western sets. I have a couple somewhere.

About the 'speeder' I'm just gonna say I don't like it so I don't get a ban. Because all this is, is a block with two windshields. Work on angles, more greebs, and a better idea then we'll talk.

Not bad, but it's a bit boxy, try to smoothen it out or make it thinner.

Though I like the extendable gun on the side.

I love it. The bubble turret in the back, the pop out cannons, the shape as a whole, they all do it for me. Great work!

Nice speeder. I like the guns.

I like the idea ! Although it's kinda blocky?

It's a repulsorspeeder, akin to that of what luke was driving in ANH. Well done, well done, simply love the fold-out turret mechanism, and while yes they could be improved, it's a good job regardless.

I always thought they were called landspeeders..

Not one of your best creations so far, but also not your worst one so far. I like how the clones are protected under teh window, but it really doesn't seem like a real speeder to me. It looks like a small ship that can carry clones with those awesome guns.

Very nice, I like the swing out turrets, although you could put something on top of the swing out turrets
nice job.

Pretty cool design, the boxyness really works here.
