 |
|
I know I have seen this somewhere, I thought it was in the forums either here, at WEG or maybe even the holonet, but I'm having trouble finding the site again so I taking this question to the forums for an answer...I am looking for stats created from toys from the Star Wars Kenner line?
More specifically I am looking for stats for the Reconnaissance Troop Transporter, but I love the old Kenner stuff so I'll take what I can get...
Thanks in advance.
Keith

...Ahhh Kenner...memories! I'm fond of the old stuff myself! I think I used to have that very toy you're mentioning.
...I've not gone over all the threads here, but I haven't seen such a thread; but if not, perhaps one should be started for the nostalgic (like me, lol).

The only site I can think of (and it is has long since been shut down) is Tony Case's The Chaos Crew site. I know he had more than a few toy conversions on there.

Now that I think about it, that was probably the site in question. I always feel bad when sites like that drift away because y'know there is always a lot of love that goes into something like that and when it's gone from the net we all lose a little something...

Nice find! I've been strongly considering using a modified version of these stats for the generic repulsorlift combat vehicle described in the Imperial Sourcebook for the Sector Group Organization.

At least one model was armed with two additional cannons at the front of the vehicle. The traveling racks could spring open for rapid deployment of the troops carried, but also left the troopers exposed while traveling. In addition to the six troopers carried on the outside, the Troop Transporter had room for several individuals on the inside. At the back of the Transporter was a Prisoner Immobilization Unit.

All of the PX series were tracked vehicles:
PX-4 Mobile Command Base
PX-7 Troop Transport
PX-10 Compact Assault Vehicle/Wheeled

Yeah, but the Kenner toy is supposed to be a speeder, not tracked. The version in the vehicle compilation is claiming to be the same vehicle, but tracked instead of repulsorlift.

But wait, I have a thought...The tracked version was the precursor which turned out to be inefficient and the Imperials always trying to become more efficient upgraded the design to a speeder model...it could work as a fan explanation.

Well it is obvious that the picture is wrong for the vehicle write-up. None of the Stat books are 100% correct. I am sure if there was to be a new version it would include not only a corrected picture for the PX-7 but stats for the other vehicle that Kenner did.
Also note they are not the same manufacturer, the PX-7 is by Nen-Carvon and was introduced during the Rise of the Empire Era while the Kenner-class is by Ubrikkian Industries and was introduced during the Rebellion Era.
