It's finally here! It's the ultimate "value-for-money" vehicle where it's size rivals the packaging & price.
This advanced combat droid stalks into battle on spider-like legs, blasting its multiple laser cannons at Republic forces. The Techno Union has creaed scalable sizes; smaller sizes excel in agility while a much larger size is used as combat artillery. Octuptarra droids take part in battles on Christophsis, Mygeeto and Coruscant, among others, and guard General Grievous at his secret headquarters.
• Opening top hatch
• Firing missiles
• Articulated legs

The packaging size and dimensions is exactly the same as any other mid-size vehicles'. The only difference is the weight, which is slightly heavier.

Let's tear into it.

All the parts removed...

To my surprise, it's all quite compactly packed this time round.

Here's the leaflet.

And the diorama background.

It's a scene from the battle on Christophsis, in the original clone wars movie.

Assembling it all together.
Image Image
It's big... no, this is one huge droid.

Even comparing it with the AT-TE and it's smaller version...
Image Image Image
This is literally mind-blowing...

Anyway, here's the 6 views of the droid...
Image Image Image Image Image Image
I have to admit, I just love this droid. It's much bigger than the homing spider droid, and it's detailing and stance just screams for action.
With regards to the joints, most of it seems like ratchet-based(click-joints).

Here's a close up on the armament,

The cockpit.

I just love the scale so much, here's a snapshot

Overall, this droid is quite worth it so far, of course, if there's 20% off retail, that would just sweeten the deal even further.

Last but not least... {I definitely had fun posing this dude}

Image
"Fire... Fire..."

Image
"They are getting closer. Wait? Is that a new droid?"

Image
"It's huge!"

Image
"ATee, Fire one"

Thanks for reading. :wink:
