Review: 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT

Posted by ,

The spectre of 7662 Trade Federation MTT will forever loom over subsequent attempts at this droid vehicle, as one of the most popular LEGO Star Wars sets ever produced. However, 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT makes certain advantageous changes to the MTT.

Clearly, this vehicle features the Separatist blue and grey colour scheme instead of the more familiar reddish brown, which is a nice change from the norm. Also, the Battle Droid storage rack mechanism is very sophisticated and some excellent minifigures are included, although as ever, there are faults to discuss too.

Summary

75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT, 976 pieces.
£139.99 / $159.99 / €149.99 | 14.3p/16.4c/15.4c per piece.

This version of the MTT offers outstanding functions, but it is frustratingly overpriced

  • Attractive colour scheme and fairly accurate shape
  • Ingenious deployment mechanism
  • Efficient storage for STAP
  • Good character selection
  • Very small, for the price
  • Only holds six Battle Droids on the storage rack
  • Inaccurate details on Commander Bly

The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author.

Minifigures

It has been eight years since Aayla Secura last appeared in 75182 Republic Fighter Tank, so I am pleased to see the character again. This version is quite similar to its immediate precursor and I think dark azure is a great colour choice for her skin tone, while the printing on her lekku looks excellent, especially from behind.

Unfortunately, the alternative expression is visible at the back, but is not as obvious in person as it appears in the image below. The fine detail on the torso is superb though and Aayla's single dark brown sleeve corresponds with the character onscreen as well. However, it would be even better if this arm had been decorated with the same leather pattern as the torso.

Aayla's smiling and determined expressions suit her personality well and her relatively pale lips do not bother me, though an argument could be made for a stronger pink shade. Of course, the Jedi Knight is equipped with a blue lightsaber.

I think many LEGO Star Wars fans have been looking forward to a Commander Bly minifigure since the helmet-mounted macrobinoculars piece was created for 75345 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack. The result looks good on the whole, but has various issues, foremost for me being the decision to use a bright yellow colour instead of the mustard-like flame yellowish orange.

In addition, the cheeks should be yellow like the jaw, the dark tan stripe around the fin should be narrower and the whole area between the pouches on the belt should be yellow. These are each very minor issues, but seeing quite so many is a concern. Nonetheless, this figure is very detailed overall and I love the new pauldron piece, plus the moveable macrobinoculars.

The lack of a fabric kama remains a disappointment, but they are obviously not returning, so I hope we see a plastic component produced for the purpose in the future. Commander Bly has yellow facial markings in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, so it is a shame his LEGO minifigure uses the normal Clone Trooper head, but not a surprise.

Multi-Troop Transports are usually controlled by two pilots, but one Pilot Battle Droid does the job here. This figure returns from 40686 Trade Federation Troop Carrier, which actually has two pilots and ferries the same number of droids as this MTT, ironically. The blue torso with a printed tan design is accurate to the films, even featuring a tiny circular detail.

Six standard Battle Droids are also supplied, which is fewer than I was hoping for, given the inclusion of sixteen aboard 7662 Trade Federation MTT from 2007. As expected, their design remains the same as usual, armed with pearl dark grey blasters and able to fold up for storage inside the MTT.

Battle Droids are a necessity with an MTT, but the three Commando Droids are a fun surprise, over a decade after their last appearance! Super Battle Droid legs give these figures more bulk than standard Battle Droids and their rounded heads are brilliant, but the pearl dark grey colour has attracted criticism.

The earlier Commando Droid figures were dark brown and I can see why some people favour that colour, based on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but I also consider pearl dark grey effective. Certainly, these droids include greater detail than their precursors, especially given the reddish brown accents and stripes on the torsos.

The Completed Model

LEGO has never quite perfected the shape of the Multi-Troop Transport, even in 7662 Trade Federation MTT. Again, the model is too stubby, though its silhouette is certainly not bad and improves on 75058 MTT from 2014. However, this iteration of the MTT is relatively small, only measuring 29cm in length, including the laser cannons. Sadly, I do not have the older sets to hand for a comparison, but I hope to publish that separately soon.

Smaller models are not an inherently bad thing, though this one is difficult to accept given the price. On the other hand, it feels densely packed with parts and therefore quite tactile for play, which is important. Moreover, I love the dark blue and light bluish grey livery. I never expected this outside the tiny 30059 MTT, but its Separatist colours look fantastic.

The articulated laser cannons are strangely short for no apparent reason, but I like the use of dark blue wheel arches for the armour around the weaponry. Also, the decoration on the main hatch reflects the animated design, albeit unavoidably interrupted by four studs in the centre of this 8x8 dish, which spoils the triangular icon.

The deployment rack is pivotal to any large-scale version of the MTT and this example has far exceeded my expectations. The function is controlled using a rather conspicuous knob behind the cockpit, which could definitely be better integrated, but I like how the forward hatches open automatically as the rack moves.

Similar to other versions of the MTT, the hatches are simply pushed out of the way, but unlike previous models, they close automatically as well. Additionally, the droid rack swings down to bring the droids closer to the ground once it clears the transport, replicating how they function during The Phantom Menace perfectly!

As the droid rack is lowered into position, it collides with the 1x2 half pyramid slopes beneath and splits in half, which is another neat function, recalling how the Battle Droids are deployed onscreen. However, just six droids are attached to the rack, which is disappointing. I hoped for twelve at least, arranged across two levels, which I think should have been possible.

The internal mechanism is deceptively simple. Like previous versions, the deployment rack is linked to a sliding rail within the MTT, although via a pair of Technic beams on this occasion. A wheel behind those parts travels along its own rail as the rack extends and then around a 1x2x1 curved slope, which causes the storage rack to swing down outside.

Even better than the doors opening automatically is that they close when the deployment rack retracts. The round hatch simply closes with gravity, but the panel underneath is connected to the sliding mechanism inside via a chain, which pulls it back into a closed position as the rack returns inside.

Two stud shooters are fixed above the deployment rack and their integration leaves much to be desired, interrupting the bodywork. Even so, the rounded design of the cockpit is fairly accurate and I am pleased to see the droid eyes represented. MTTs are not droids, unlike many vehicles in the Separatist army, so I assume these are actually cameras or sensors of some kind.

I understand why the designer chose to taper the body shape towards the back of the cockpit, as it looks that way in some reference images for the MTT. However, it should actually remain flat on top, so there is definitely scope for improvement here. I like the curved dish on the back though, corresponding with the source material.

The top is easily removable and the side panels fold down to access the cockpit. The stickered control screen and blaster storage are welcome, but the Battle Droid Pilot needs to lie down for the roof to close on top, unfortunately. Also, they are not attached to studs, so the droid tends to rattle around to some degree, even though the seat accommodates the figure nicely.

75058 MTT was notorious for gaps in its bodywork and there are some noticeable seams here, but no blatant gaps. The panels on each side strike a suitable balance between exposed studs and tiles and I am satisfied with the combination of light blush grey and dark blue too. Even the engines look reasonable, though rather lacking in mechanical texture.

Additionally, there should be substantial bulges towards the rear of the vehicle, containing the MTT's power generators. These features are loosely represented by slopes and wedge plates, but they are strangely indistinct and I am unsure why because 3x3 wedge slopes would create exactly the correct shape underneath the Separatist symbols.

The panels are attached using clips, so they can open to reveal various features inside. There was probably an opportunity for greater detail towards the front, though I like how you can see the Battle Droids on their rack and the blaster storage towards the back is appreciated, though again it seems rudimentary.

Four blaster rifles are stored on each side, with room for two more inside the cockpit, which is sufficient to equip all the Battle Droids, Commando Droids and even the driver. Lifting the side panels also reveals some of the transport's Technic wheels, allowing it to roll back and forth for play.

My least favourite section of the model is the rear, which is a shame because that has been a strength of other MTT sets. There is very little detail and the Technic chassis is partly exposed under the rear door, including a conspicuous tan piece. Even the seam between this hatch and the panel on top appears clumsy.

In addition, it bothers me that the rear hatch does not open as it does in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, instead folding down with the roof. However, the room available inside is put to splendid use, housing a STAP, similar to the 2014 MTT. We see these vessels patrolling when the Trade Federation army lands in The Phantom Menace, so I can imagine them doing the same as an MTT discharges its troops.

LEGO has never settled on a shared design for the STAP, even between this set and the new 75428 Battle Droid with STAP! This one is obviously dark blue to match the MTT, but the laser cannons are different and the connection between the main body and the handlebars has been updated as well.

The footrest remains intact though, which is a useful addition to STAPs this year. As ever, you can connect a Battle Droid to the vehicle and a spare angled arm is included, ready to replace their straight arm and grip the handlebars with both hands, if you wish.

Overall

Though nowhere near the high quality of 7662 Trade Federation MTT, 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT is better than I expected. The deployment rack mechanism is superb and I am impressed with the vehicle's proportions and colour scheme. There are some lovely minifigures too, although the many small issues with Commander Bly are frustrating.

Sadly, those qualities are overshadowed by the price, like so much of the summer LEGO Star Wars range. £139.99, $159.99 or €149.99 is clearly far too expensive for a vehicle of this size, particularly since only six Battle Droids are placed on the rack and there is limited detail inside. Nonetheless, I do consider this a good set and one worth considering after a hefty discount.

The price is absolutely criminal in conjunction with these chibi proportions. But on the bright side it also convinced me to try and amass the remaining 2000 pieces needed for the 10k piece MTT up on rebrickable so swings and roundabouts I guess.

The price is crazy, and the size and number of droids included/that can be carried is a little disappointing, but there's a lot to like here.

Obviously the brown version is more memorable, but this look is pretty interesting and different, and the mechanism is by far the best we've seen on an official model. The minifigures are pretty interesting too, even if it maybe should have at least one more battle droid, to ride the STAP, if they were never going to be able to fit more droids on the rack. I'm also not sure this was the set the resurrect Commando Droids for, as I'm sure the recolored, printed parts and returning head mold are contributing a bit to the cost here that simply isn't really relevant to the subject matter. If this set had 3 battle droids (or more!) in their place, I think it would probably be better.

If this set was £50 cheaper (!!!) then it would be a decently good set, but as you say, that crazy price overshadows all the good qualities this set has. It's really a shame. This is the first substantial Droid playset since 75283 , which was 5 years ago, and that set was pretty overpriced at the time, or so I thought. I guess droid sets aren't that popular anyway, and they're not really in current media, so this may be the best we're going to get for a while.

Even I - someone who greatly values the build over the minifigures - have to wonder what is going on with LEGO and their clone troopers. Seems like they’re always missing a lot of obvious details for no apparent reason.

The Minifigures are pretty decent, but the build just seems small and very lacking. I would’ve preferred the Commandos in Dark Brown, but I’m very excited for a new color of droid hands. The price is inexplicably bad… but I won’t get into that with another SW set.

@watcher21 I will have to definitively disagree with you.

I was looking forward to adding an MTT to my collection. Sadly, I think I’m gonna have to skip this one. That price is crazy; even at a discount it’s more money than I’m willing to spend on this.

With the direction LEGO’s going, nothing was ever going to top 7662, but this is still a nice-looking set. The Separatist color scheme is a breath of fresh air, and that deployment mechanism is ingenious.

The minifigures are nice, as well, though not outstanding. Everybody got their wish wanting the Pilot Battle Droid with the May 4th GWP last year to show up in a regular retail set. The new Commando Droids and Aayla Secura are cool, but I still think I prefer their previous versions. I, too, was also expecting more than six Battle Droids. The small inaccuracies on Commander Bly don’t bother me too much, but I know it will frustrate other people.

The indented area on Bly's chin is white in the films so lego is accurate there.

Looks like there is space to modify it to hold 12 droids so hopefully that will be an easy fix.

I would disagree about the build quality (taking 11 yrs into consideration), but we have to remember that 7184 was just so early. Nothing from the original run (1999-2002ish) should be compared to anything now. Also, that set had more regular B1s than this set does! Incredible. It was a bad set, even for its time though. :)

it's unfathomable to me how Lego designers keep fucking up with the minifig details. it can't be this hard to hire ONE of the thousands of super-nerds who knows their Star Wars and also is a capable set designer.

as for the set - looks ok, but should cost 100/€100 RRP at the absolute maximum bc Battle Droids aren't "proper" minifigures.

also @Brickset staff please give the feedback to Lego that, for these prices, it's a must that all clone troopers who wear one in SW media have an appropriate cloth skirt. we don't give a crap if the figs can't sit in a vehicle - anyone who has a problem with that can take the kamas off (shocking, I know) or even sell them on Bricklink

@Wallace_Brick_Designs 7662 is older than 75058 but still the best, age isn't everything.
A few of the oldies are still pretty decent see 7155
7184 clearly is lacking and mentioning it was a mockery of this new one.
I understand it was hard in 2000 part to build a none blocky MTT that could fit a realistic amount of droids.
But now there is no excuse and by only stuffing only 6 B1 droids in 75435 they made this medicore.

I want to say Bly has a history of inaccurate toys, I guess it's just that it's a fairly complex design.

If Lego isn't going with a cloth, plastic, or dual-mold kama, I think leaving it off entirely would look better than the two little strips of printing.

By in Netherlands,

It is insane that they just skipped out on designing the rear bulges of the vehicle, and the rest of the back is indeed lacking in detail and very sloppy. They just slapped a few plates on the angled panels in order to keep the piece count low, yet it is still insanely expensive. Even with the incredibly overpriced sets they are now cutting corners everywhere. What's next, a downscaled X-wing for €80 without wings because that would cost them too much to produce?

I like the new deployment feature and I have been wanting a blue MTT for years as well as a Commander Bly, but I think I'm done with Lego Star Wars.

I thought 75058 was too small for the price (and also incredibly ugly) and it was almost half the price of this one in the US. The shaping actually looks good for the most part but it's not a $160 set.

After all these years I still just cannot understand the complaints about the clone troopers. They look absolutely fine. To me it's like complaining that they don't have enough fingers—it's Lego, of course they don't.

I think the MTT is meant to be slightly larger than the AT-TE in every dimension. I'm not sure that's the case here, so assuming it looks as puny as I expect it does, this is one to buy two minifigures online and pass on the rest.

To fix the decoration on the main hatch, they could have put a 2x2 round tile with a sticker on it to fill in the triangular icon. (I'm not sure if they can print designs that require a certain orientation on round pieces.)

I agree that criticisms can become overly severe, partially because these are minifigures and there are going to be stylistic choices and even because there are sometimes manufacturing or budgetary limitations, much though we might not like it.

However, in the case of some of the new minifigures, there are simply mistakes. There was no reason that I can see not to get the colour of Bly's cheeks correct, for example. With his torso, I would understand some compromises if LEGO had decided to use the same element for Commander Bly and the 327th Clone Troopers because they look similar onscreen, which would explain the inaccucies on his belt. That is not the case though; there are just graphical errors on both figures.

Personally, I find it hard to understand these mistakes because even though LEGO Star Wars fans give them a hard time, thes graphic designers have done great work before and on this wave too, so I am not sure what happened with certain minifigures.

If you cut the image out of the box front, that alone would compare wonderfully to 7184.

@Wallace_Brick_Designs:
7184 is notable for being a terrible set compared to other sets of the day. It separated into two halves, and the connection holding them together was practically nonexistent. Even the radar shell Millennium Falcon was a more stable design.

@ricecake:
They can, and do. Orientation is meaningless for 1x1 round tiles, but it's almost always critical to maintain a 90 degree orientation on 2x2 round tiles. All they have to do to accomplish that is make a jig that locks into the parts via the stud notches. The result is that the pip is going to randomly appear in four different positions, but the print will at least have the correct orientation.

The tricky part, however, is that doing this would also require clean alignment. To accomplish that, you'd need to get the print precisely positioned on both the dish and the tile. That process is a lot more work, and has to be specifically requested for them to make the effort.

By in United States,

LEGO is ingenious.

They first got us to buy into reduced size vehicles with the puny ships in playsets; Tie Advanced in the Death Stars and micro Slave 1 and Cloud Car in 75222 Bespin. Then “The Affordability Scale” began in 2021 with 75300 Tie Fighter, 75301 X-Wing, 75302 Shuttle and 75312 Slave 1 selling us on the benefit of reduced sizes that could engender reduced prices.

https://brickset.com/article/64851/lego-star-wars-affordable-scale

But LEGO quickly realized that they had successfully reset the bar for acceptability on size/detail for Star Wars sets, irrespective of pricing.

2023 brought us 75365 Yavin with a Squat Y at a disappointing 15.9cpp, 75354 Baby Gunship at 12.9 cpp and 75357 Tween Ghost at 11.5cpp. 2024 delivered us the 75394 Dwarfen ISD barely bigger than an X-Wing but at least at a better 10.3cpp. Each of these sets sadly creeping closer and closer to the $200 mark that LEGO has gotten us to accept for so, so many sets these days.

2025 finally gets us to the Chibi V19 on which @CapnRex101 pontificated 4 years ago. While it has an “I guess now not terrible” 11.5 cpp, the droidless MTT gets us going again at 16.4 cpp so we’re ready for the Min-Turbo Tank at 19.6 cpp.

High prices are one thing and they are unfortunately beginning to plague more than just this theme. But when you then also saddle the theme with reduced, incomplete, and/or inferior sets, you lose me.

I’ll still likely be in the Day One line for a Rebel Transport or Mantis but otherwise, I think my 5 little ones and myself have enough Star Wars LEGO.

4502 was such an improvement in shape over 7140/7142 that people automatically assumed they'd also improved the scale, when in fact the opposite was true. That basic design persisted for at least 15 years, through 2019's 4002019, or perhaps even 2020's 75273, so when someone finally came up with a design that's both more accurate in shape and size, all 75301 gets is grief over being "too small". Say what you will about the other starships, but that's one they finally got right. It'd be nice if people started to acknowledge it.

That depends on which minifig scale you prefer in the range 1:24 to 1:48. 75218 is closest to my preferred minifig scale range of 1:35 to 1:38.

Minifig scale is enormously malleable even before you move into the range of downsized playscale.

Are you seriously comparing the two? They *have* to seriously downscale a Star Destroyer to make it a viable playset. Besides, it's twice the price (not adjusting for inflation) and has more than twice the pieces of 75218, the biggest minifigure-scale X-wing yet.

Another unneeded, barely-present-in-canon recolor after 11 years of no MTTs. The brown one is way more iconic and could be easily modded into the Super Tanks, if you like Clone Wars that much.

When the 2014 one came out, it was displayed in store without price tag. I was actually quite excited due to its small size, thinking it'd be 50-70€. The same store had displayed the 2007 one back when it came out which obviously was massive. Which I couldn't afford. 100€ seemed quite step for the size of the 2014 one. This makes the 2014 one look like an amazing deal in comparison.

Which is a shame, since I'd like the model if it was sensibly priced.

It'd have to be atleast 33% discounted to be somewhat sensibly priced. Which rarely happens with lego unless its an absolute shelfwarmer at third party stores. Which is unlikely for Star Wars. Ive only seen discounts that steep happen on Freemaker Adventure sets and the old "non helmet character" ccbs sets.

30% discounts on regular items in online shops is the norm and does not have anything to do with popularity.
75401 Ahsokas Jedi Interceptor is somewhere between 30% and 32% at some store at any given time since February.
75337 AT-TE could be had for 33% or less just weeks after its release in short sales that may have lasted minutes or hours and entered sales with a duration of a week or more a little less than a year after its release.

There is no good way of saying 'you people', ever. Even if you mean it to be kindly, you're still 'othering' the people you're addressing.

And yet, as you stand there with urgent care in your voice and shining altruism in your heart, you can already hear the sharp intake of breath from the middle-aged lady in the floral blouse, the pointed sunglasses, the oversized sun-hat on her bluish hair, styled and preened and curled and hairsprayed into being as good as bullet-proof. You know that the next thing she will say, will be an armour-piercing 'How DARE YOU!', because some people can, and will, take absolutely anything as an insult.

Thanks for the detailed review! This is a really great set, as a Clone Wars fan, I really like it, and I personally like the scale of these new SW tanks/spaceships, but I'll only buy it if I can find it on a 30-40% sale sometimes in the future, these prices are just crazy... I built the 75394 Star Destroyer last week, which has 1555 pieces and a great minifigure selection for the same price, so LEGO won't convince me that these new prices are "okay" :D

@TheOtherMike - the most recent ISD was tiny while being overly expensive. My comparison to an X-Wing was for size relativism only. LEGO only needed to get it 10+ studs longer to make it look “right” and feel as menacing as the opening of ANH (IMHO).

@Anonym - I can’t speak for the market in Europe but the U.S. unfortunately doesn’t often see sales like that anymore. We’re usually hoping for 20% at best (excluding Icons) and usually quite a long while into a sets lifespan. We’re only now seeing discounts (20%} on some 2023 (2023!) City (City!) sets like 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship. And based on years past, there was no guarantee those discounts would come so some of us already bit the bullet to make sure we didn’t lose the chance to get them.

It's shocking just how bad this theme has become. The quality decreases every single release season and the price skyrockets at the same time. This is the first year I've wished Lego would lose the license because they're doing the bare minimum and it shows.

Commander Bly is honestly super disappointing, on top of what was mentioned in the review the arms should be white with a brown stripe and the yellow stripe down the middle of the torso also needs to be brown, these aren't small details and are what differentiates him from the regular 327th clones.

At the premium price they're asking for it's just really unfortunate to see them cutting corners like this.

Great review!

I love the color scheme, the deployment mechanism, and the long-awaited addition of Bly.

I hate the price.

The price is bad

But, what about that price?!

Seriously, I love the price. I just wish the set was worth it. Bly's lack of kama and other mistakes is damning. Redundant Aayla lacks even arm printing. Moreover, her inclusion is disappointing when there are so many other Jedi without representation. The set needs to be bigger with two racks and dimensions similar to the OG 7662 .

7662 wasn't the OG, 7184 was the OG. And I think we can all agree that every minifig-scale MTT since has been an improvement on that one.

The 7662 Trade Federation MTT was the best version of this vehicle to date and it's mindboggling why Lego didn't just use that set and recolour it for a Separatist version.

Again, another set in the latest Star Wars releases that just falls short on most counts.

Bly is a terrible figure by any objective metric. The torso and helmet prints are just plain wrong as described by the good Capn, the macrobinoculars still sorely need a bit of printing, and these figures need either a fabric or moulded kama. TLG can stick to its current (wrong) philosophy of omitting them on the (incorrect) premise they confuse children or prevent the figure sitting down (neither of these is actually true), but frankly I’m fed up. This has come to a head with Bly, the 327th and most importantly the Galactic Marines, and if TLG refuses to improve and provide a good product, I suspect many will just leave LSW behind. I must say I’m tempted right now. All the community wants is a good product accurate to the source material, within reason. Right now TLG is a long way off what it is capable of with these figures. The amazing thing is they think they can churn out sloppy figures and charge through the roof. Still, you’ve got to laugh eh.

It's mainly due to how often they seem to mess up fairly simple details, such as the chest stripe color on bly is the same brown on his helmet, not the 327th yellow, or having fox's entire chest plate in white, when he only has the two main plates white in tcw (on top of the very discolored print)
