10 Best Combat Transports in Star Wars

One reason I like the more military engagements of Star Wars, and wish they did more with the full military combat. It always gives me ideas for Battletech which also uses drop ships to get from space to putting boots on the ground. Granted, there are no hyper jump capabilities on drop ships and have to rely on transport on Warships or jumpships.

God I wish I could get back into Battletech/MechWarrior table top versions. Or even Star Wars. But nobody in Denver area or close to Streets of Southglenn mall. 😮‍💨😢😭

😑 . . . Meh. At least none of them can beat my custom fanmade Ugly specifically designed for boarding enemy ships/space stations through their hangers.

The Droid Gunship makes this list of COMBAT TRANSPORTS but the U-wing doesn't? I'm not watching any more of this.

The RK-392 tac-pod looks a lot like the ubiquitous Delta stormtrooper transports from the original X-Wing / TIE Fighter games, apart from the little winglets.

The U wing had a shield and a hyperdrive weapons and could be fitted out with different types of weapons the design seems very efficient to me..

Top Content 🙂 Good friday & weekend 🍵🥪🥝

Glorious

No use of the Gamma class assault shuttle? Or the ATR-6 Stormtrooper Assault Ship? I suppose both are Legends, mind, and the ATR-6 is almost entirely from the X-Wing series of simulator games from the 90's. The assault shuttle could ferry a full platoon of spacetroopers into battle and had enough shielding output to classify as a small capital ship. The ATR-6 had three turbolasers and ion cannon turrets as well as missile launchers and could carry up to 40 troops.

Both were pretty terrifying things to see in combat as you couldn't shoot them down, you cuoldn't stop them, and they could smash through almost anythin to land boarding parties with the sheer amount of firepower they had.

But both are EU and this seems all canon. So can see why they weren't brought up.

Best transition ever

Ypu could use the Kom'rik class w/o packs, just have to come in much closer and slower to the LZ.... Come in nap of the earth, drop like 60 troopers , than the three come screeching over a hill , as they draw attention AWAY from LZ, here come troopers from behind....

Or could probablt hold like 4 speeder bikes...

Laat is the best.... but.... the reper is close to my new fave... I dident know it could glide to a landing..... that's epic, it's like a helicopters auto rotate.......

I love the idea of combat transports in Star Wars. The Gunship is cool and as soon as we were introduced to the U-Wing and TIE Reaper I loved their designs. The U-Wing is just an awesome design, and I'm happy they kind of made it the general Rebel combat transport after Rogue One came out. It's too bad the same can't be said for the TIE Reaper. The only time we see it outside of Rogue One is in Star Wars Squadrons and Jedi Fallen Order.

Why exclude u-what bc but include reaper?

Are there no aliens that would be allies of humanity. Superman has DIED for us

I hate that "meat wave" is now a term :-(

I always feel like I'm shopping, on a never-ending intergalactic budget. When I watch your content. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I am convinced he had been taken by the dolphins

I love droid gunship imagine if they have stealth system. Send 100, full weapon and carrying droid toward republic base

Brilliant analysis as always.

I finally remembered his name...

This is the quality Star Wars content I come here for.

Oh yeah, big fan of the TIE Reaper here. I made my own out of LEGO, minifigure-scaled.
I want to do the Imperial troop transport from Mandalorian next, the forerunner to the First Order version.

Robust Count: 2

I feel like the droid ships are some of the most terrifying ship designs

👍

The Drokh is terrifying because a skilled ballistician (and every computer is a skilled ballistician, with the right software) can use it to vent pretty much any important system on an enemy vessel.
Including the bridge.

Edge of yesterday away ☕🍜🥛🍺👍

Will you please just do a video talking about cad banes starfighter transport. It’s in atmosphere speed is exponentially faster than anything else in the entire galaxy. It would look like a freaking hyperspace jump when he went full throttle.

If you ever decide to do a lost on gunships, i really hope the Auzituck makes the list.

When chaos and bickering makes watching many other Star Wars content unappealing, I can always rely on Generation Tech to plunge me into nice, entertaining “in-universe” topics where the only conflict are among the in-story factions. Thank you!!!

The "Alan says 'robust'" drinking game is alcohol-poisoning-level madness. 🍻🥃🍷🍹🍺🥂

i loved those pods because they look EXACTLY like the transport shuttles from the old TIE Fighter and X-Wing games from the 90s

I really wanted Tactical Blueberry in the Andor set. The price was too much without him.

Time to watch generation tech since the fandom war has begun

why cr20 so high
storm troopers not that tall

Nice job 👏💯👍

Good list! Thanks for including the Mandalorian ship. It took me a while to realize how LARGE that ship is, they didn't always show it next to other ships for a relative comparison of their size. I always liked the LAAT and variants, I was very disappointed in in some scenes where they weren't used to their full potential. They often didn't fire their side-mounted lasers at all, yet when they fired they could sweep entire enemy formations in one pass! They also had the very effective rocket launchers up top, with rotating magazines for multiple rounds.

DEPLOY THE MANDOLORIANS

The Gauntlet-type troop carrier is one of my favorite ships is Star Wars - I love that ship!

I can't understand why there's no decent looking dropship in Star Wars...There's a whole world of sci-fi to take inspiration from.

The Komrk transports also look pretty striking landed on the ground with their pointy wings up and intimidating in their little encampments. They're much more aggressive looking than the Duchess's compact, unarmed, and round Akajor transport.

A lot of these aren't very directly comparable to eachother from being designed for very different niches with pretty wildly different carrying capacities. 6, 10, 24, 48. Some meant to brave their way directly into a battlefield, some meant for shuttling around in safe areas far away from enemy lines, some having to consider traveling on their own in deep space without fire support.

Droid gunship looks like a Bionicle head.

Legal

Now this is podracing

Very nice
