Pledford Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 So has there been any talk of anyone building a battlefront TB. They look pretty cool, and looks like it could be way more comfortable. Thoughts??? Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk
Aradun Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 And it comes equipped with the coveted neck seal . Just outta pure curiosity I logged in today to see what differences there actually are from the ROTJ Scout and was surprised by the number of differences:- neck seal- no flak jacket- no mud flap- all strapping is gray - no visible strapping on bicep armor, appears mounted directly to undersuit- TD is reversed- TD end caps are flat not concave- No zip tie on TD- No visible belt clips on TD.- Knee Armor has rivets for upper strap but strap is not visible.- ear holes are closed- greeblie for snout looks different?- 3M bolts appear flat not concave- I think the belt boxes would need to be reworked. They’re a bit more squarish than rectangular. - shoulder bells appear attached to Undersuit?- belt strapping is black- larger rivets for holster?- bicep and forearm armor are incorrectly positioned from ROTJ scout (I.e. rotated too far back).The one thing I do like about the Battlefront Scout over the ROTJ Scout is the undersuit and absence of the flak jacket. It does make for a sleeker and perhaps more stealthy look. How that translates into being more comfy, I’m not so sure. I’ve heard it said that the scouts on set found the neck seals to be hot, but would be hard pressed to quote a source on that.

There are actual variant troopers that are being worked on (the Shoretrooper Specialist, the Kashyyyk Officer). The Scout just looks to be based on the ROTJ scouts, with any differences being down to modeling and not intentional design choices. 2

Those are som really good observations. It seems like there is quite a bit of difference between Battlefront and ROTJ. were there beck seals used in ROTJ?? The whole neck area seems like there in not a definitive look.

All those difference are just down to how the character was modeled. They were not trying to create a new character. That was done in Jedi Fallen Order and we have a CRL for that. You could also say that the Biker Scout in Lego Star Wars has a lot of differences from the ROTJ version too, but we aren't making a CRL of that either. Folks, you have to wear the flak vest, I'm sorry
AT-3D Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Maybe someone should build it and compare next to ROTJ. It sure looks to me like they took the files from BF and added the harness gear for the fallen order version.

That doesn't mean the Scout in Battlefront is supposed to be a different character than the one in ROTJ. Okay since y'all aren't taking a hint. LOCKED
