Imperial Combat Assault Tank

The TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tank, also known as the TX-225A Occupier tank, or simply the Imperial combat assault tank, was a track-propelled ground assault vehicle used by the Galactic Empire, and operated by a commander and two pilots.The tank had great maneuverability in tight quarters, such as the streets of occupied cities. Its laser cannons could devastate enemy troops, and the powerful engines could transport heavy payloads.

Wow, awesome images! What about it do you think makes it better than some of the other vehicles? I would love to hear your full review. Off to share.

I always enjoy reading your take on new things.

I have been looking forward to this!

Thank you so much for giving us a look at this remarkable product from Hasbro! It’s great to see this vehicle in full detail! I especially like the shot of the cockpit! I agreed The level of detail is excellent!
It’s also quite remarkable how much you can make your backyard look like Jedha! I just love your outdoor footage and how much the sunlight highlights all the paint applications. It makes me want to get mine out of the box, too!

Thank you for sharing all the background information about the TX-225 with us! It’s currently on sale on Amazon.com for $39.99 - half price.

I ended up buying a second one of these tank last week for $38 on Amazon. I want to repaint on grey with a black wash, so I couldn't resist it at that price.

I did the same, Jodo! At $40 this is a great price. I got this tank for FialaFernbrugg and me for the same rate last year. They don’t need to shell them out for $20, but I wonder if the price will fall even lower.
That’s a very exciting idea! I’m looking forward to seeing your repaint of the Combat Assault Tank!
