ah yes. The ship that ruled my childhood, when I had no toys i’d get some binder clips and put the two metal pieces down like the wings of the gunship and fly it around
Ahhhhh…. Childhood.
honestly who didn't?
I know I did. Hours of fun
And put two together for an X-Wing
i did the same thing
Laat: *Is flying*
The Geonosian AA: “You know the rules and so do I”
“Good thing those bugs don’t know how to aim!”
*kaboom*
“Say goodbye”
Dies*
Good things those bugs can’t aim
The LAAT-I is probably the most iconic and coolest vehicle introduced with the prequels
I personally like the ARC 170 more. I just enjoy seeing more than one person operating a starfighter.
LAAT sure is more iconic tho.
The Naboo N1 starfighter is pretty iconic too
@@koopanique agreed
Tbh I prefer the venator and the acclamator
Nah, ARC-170 is better.
When anyone thinks "clone wars", I think there's only two things that pop into your head, a clone helmet, and an LAAT coming in.
Me too. 😎👍
Oh and Ahsoka Tano.
@@crusader2112 Ahsoka Tano and all the Rule 34. :P
Specifically a Phase 1 helmet
I also think of an AT-TE
@@minicle426 📸📸
There's just something good about hearing the sounds it makes while flying
Actually. The sound they make as they drop into the battlefield was one of the many, many, reasons I fell in love with the vehicle.
Just like tie fighters, both very satisfying sounds.
Yeah, I respect this vehicle.
Fun fact, the sound they use for the engines of the LAAT are recorded from a Vickers Vimy biplane bomber from World War I.
Now they just need to pair it with the gun from the A10 warthog
The LAAT/C is such a force multiplier, the ability to transport your armored fighting vehicle to anywhere your troops needed just enhanced the flexibility of your forces.
LAAT/C and Gozanti-class transport are my favorite SW force multipliers. They both are practical, and can drop AT walkers on enemy heads.
The ball turrets look so dumb and dangerous, but honestly look like fun
inspired from ww2 defence turrets on bombers .
I think they are more meant to be artistic precursors to the Death Star.
Its a sacrifice I'm willing to make
How did they get in them to begin with?
@@antr7493 There's a small hatch on the underside they could climb in?
The MAAT is so underrated. I wish we had more time with it.
Same went for SAAB. :-)
😔
@@subraxas SAAB?
@@monkeymunchie9717 Swedish car company.
Same with the Imperial Dropship
If you put an E on the end of LAAT it becomes a coffee.
Destination: LAATrine
Or a really slow ship that never arrives on time.
No, Latte has two Ts.
Ironically that,the LAAT was inspired by American helicopters and Soviet MI-24…
True
I can see that
I can see why they'd base it on the Mi-24. The Hind is such an iconic Helo, and probably one of the coolest gunships
Mostly by the Mi-24.
@@DIEGhostfish Yep. Some of situations the LAAT were used in were inspired by both the Vietnam War and Soviet-Afghan War
I don't think there has been a ship in star wars that has been as useful to a military as the LAAT was for the republic, truly a timeless classic
I shall add Aclamator
Best ships in Star Wars hands down
I beg to differ but you like the clone wars ships so i wont argue
@@filmfan2004 what do you like? Not judging just curious lol
@@smorgington i prefer the imperial ships especially krennics shuttle its so sinister looking
@@filmfan2004 yeah. Sinister _looking_.
That’s the problem with the majority of the Empire’s vehicle line up. They’re designed to intimidate and strike fear in the enemy. From a practicality standpoint , their “tanks” (walkers) and troop transports are a fucking joke.
The LAAT both looks gorgeous, and every bit of it seems to be completely designed with war in mind. The thing takes function over form and it’s form still looks bloody beautiful
@@keithstone8693 Yh i just prefer The Empire TCW is a little overated for me
Finally, acknowledge of the MAAT!
Roses are red
Battlefront is a game
*”Good thing those bugs can’t aim!”*
@Calvin McFalls
Is this supposed to rhyme?
*proceeds to h*cking die*
@Calvin McFalls
Yeah, that also happens to me. . . . . like every other day on average. :-D :-D + :-(
Bugs proceed to aim:
@@hazmatt3250 did you just censor heck
From the story of the LAAT/S, I could definitely tell it was based off the Osama raid. From the stealth variant to them blowing it up after a crash landing.
the stealth Blackhawk
Clones coming down
Geonosians: This is where the fun begins
It would be cool to see a space variant that has the gunners that can withstand the pressure
Yeah it would be easy maybe even with the same energy bubble
@@MetaNerdzLore The clones would need a specialized armor too
Wait weren't they used in space to land on enemy ships or am I remembering that just from the battlefront 2 space battles???
@@ruexoxan6432they could be used in space for limited times, but were so much slower than starfighters that they were easy pickings for interceptors and anti fighter defenses.
Gotta love the ball turrets
I like anything that is round.
And big.
@@subraxas I’m sorry *what*
@@captain_commenter8796
:-D
"If we put the 2 Death Stars together in space, we'll make 2 giant [Redacted]!" -Emperor Palpatine
PS2 Wii PSP Force Unleashed was the superior version. Doesn't even look bad for their hardware.
(I thought it was also on Gamecube) I'm not sure about superior, it definitely had a lot of interesting enemy types and other locations (though at the expense of not letting you fight actual stormtroopers till MAYBE the deathstar level) but the 360/PS3/PC version had some great AI and physics.
@@DIEGhostfish I rather like how Starkiller or Galen is sent to the ruined jedi temple to go take the Jedi Knight trials. It sorta goes into setting him up as this hybrid Jedi Sith. Also makes much more sense that Kota went into hiding on Nar Shaada instead of Bespin. Lore wise, you could hardly pick a better planet to disappear. This version just seems the way it was always supposed to go. I think if the 360/ps3/PC versions were the same but adapted and improved upon as was capable on those platforms, it would've had a solid shot of being the greatest Star Wars game of all time.
@@grievouslytired7886 Eh Nar Shadaa would be a good place to disappear... For a Jedi who wasn't just last seen hurtling down towards Nar Shadaa. I feel like Bespin's also a good place since the Figg family paid the empire big bucks to mostly leave the Anoat and Javin sectors to them. (And there were other issues like the Mugaari and just generally being out of the way, after all the Rebels considered Hoth safe enough and it's just a system or two over.) Level structure to me is Nar Shadaa mission from the PS2 leads to whoever smuggled him offworld and starts the trail that leads to Bespin.
I'm so glad that arma 3 has so many star wars mods with a good chunk of these variants
Can we have in depth videos about the Wookiees, and their hated enemies, the Trandoshans?
What about the Trandoshaan attacks on the Wookiees?
I thought every gunship in the clone wars show was a space gunship. They all have the dual doors and sealed window slots
It seems most of them during the war were outfitted with space faring capabilities. Although some of them still have the ball turrets which I believe would still classify them as a modified LAAT/I.
@@ninjanaranja7142 yeah, but the turrets are mounted on the same port as the flood lights are on the “space” gunship
That is not true. LAAT stands for Low Altitude Assault Transport. The i stood for infantry and the the c for carrier.
I love that you mentioned the police gunship from bounty hunter! Always loved that ship and its severely underrated. I like how it's the predessor and it perfectly fits the older era of that republic. It looks like a steam boat compared to the modern looking laats. And how it fits less but larger. I like to think to could travel through hyperspace to patrol a greater area and the crew space had minimal facilities but still bunks galley etc. Probably alot of equipment too. Something that reflects peace time, so impractical. But it was overpowered, just like the laat, i like that.
Absolutely amazing work. Always loved the LAAT, caught my eye the first time I watched Episode 2 and I never looked back. Just like with your content, it's only grown better as time has gone on
I will always love the laat/c, just the sheer amount it can carry by itself is great
One of my MOST ABSOLUTE favorite Vehicles in Star Wars!!!!
ABSOLUTELY fraking enjoyed watching this one right here.
Glad to see that you're still going at it here, my dude.
They’re so cool. Was playing fallen order and when I got to kashyyyk, seeing them use the galactic republic gunships they salvaged was INSANE. They STILL do work even after their era
Nice video keep up the good work dude
Awesome content! I love your 5-15 minute lore videos about the various vehicles and guns of Star Wars and halo 👍🏻
Super rad. Thanks for the great video!
Always loved the LAAT-I. Especially with those extra ball turrets
Another amazing video
"Oh! They fly now!"
"They fly now?"
"They fly now!"
Geonosians AA guns: Not for long

*Clone screaming to their deaths intensifies*
Great video as always. Thanks alot man.
Love your dedication to your videos. Really interesting and entertaining in learning more of the star wars lore. Keep up the good work.
This sort of lore stuff has always fascinated me, great job!
Missed these spaceship videos!!
Great vid MetaNerdz! The LAAT is such an awesome vehicle, I really like the design.
I was not aware of a hyperdrive equipped variant, cool!
Love your videos!
Been waiting for this
Love the video as always. LAATs are awesome!
You know so much about Star Wars great video mate
You are the best keep up the great content
Haven’t watched one of your videos in a long time. Glad to be back, been here since 2k subs
Still by far one of my favorite sci fi vehicles
great video!
This video was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. The LAAT is my favorite prequel era ship.
These now look RESALLY cool
When I was a kid I wanted this in Lego so badly
Fab ship! Love it 😍
Fun fact, the sound they use for the engines of the LAAT are recorded from a Vickers Vimy biplane bomber from World War I.
Hey metanerdz is back with another vehicle breakdown Yussss
Also video idea for the pile what about the food of starwars
I loved the LAAT it was one of my favorite vehicles honestly the sounds it made and the look of it too
Wonder if it's possible to modify one to perform like a shuttle - full spaceflight capabilities and hyperdrive as well as deflector shields. Would make one hell of a bounty hunter ship.
Loved this gunship as a kid, my parents bought me the lego model of it when i was 13, still have it today assembled.
I wish we could’ve seen more of the MAAT and got more of its specifications I remember the first time seeing it in the wii version of Forced Unleashed and thought I was one of the coolest ships ever!
What a great gunship! I love how in the Battlefront II footage, the pilot hits the hanger floor right after taking off. That be how it is, though. Those things were impossible to land in a small busy hanger.
I love this vehicle so much
Very cool
Really enjoyed this lol
The nostalgia when seeing the force unleashed ships
This is the video I needed in my life. Btw it’s my favorite vehicle is all of sifi and one of the my favorite sounds of all time.
The arc 170 and then the Laat are my fav starships from all eras in star wars... they have that curvy ww2/vietnam aircraft vibe and even the sounds are basically like ww2 twin engine planes (with a bit of meddling with sound mixing)...
Love the LAAT looks badass
I've always loved that wooooosh sound they make when flying
I just bought one today. :) Now I'm showing it to my son 😂 crazy how I much I love playing with these in the old star wars battlefront.
One of my favorite star wars vehicles!
Poggers 6am video for the boys
Nice
First now let's land the clones with the laat gunship the Huey of star wars
Actually, Mi-24 lol
There are many vehicles/ships from SWs that I would want IRL and the MAAT is one of them. Compact but still a respectable tribute to its predecessor. Personally though I think the U-Wing is still the optimal transport / fighter, aside from maybe that one weird imperial dropship from Battlefront 2 (2005). Dont underestimate the value of having a rear gun.
The MAAT must be canon!
Poggers, still asking for a secutor class vid
I do feel the stealth gunship crashing due to weather and needing to be scuttled was a reference to the real world event when a stealth blackhawk was downed due to bad conditions in the Osama raid. Nice little detail there
Love tbis craft . Really reminds me of the bell helicopter from Vietnam
My favorite variant is the concept one where it looks pretty much the same but bigger and longer, as well as longer mass drivers
I love the look and versatility of the Erickson Sky Crane... I mean LAAT-t
VAAT/E showed up first in the Bounty Hunter game, in text form in the Republic Commando novels/short stories, and also showed up fairly late in the lifespan of Star Wars Galaxies where players were contracted to fly them and blow up abandoned player housing that was cluttering the map.
Another fun fact by John Goodson’s Featurette, the LAAT/i’s doors serves as airbrakes for the gunship. In Attack of the Clones (movie), you can see the doors moving as airbrakes.
The MI 24 hind was a amazing attack helicopter that thing had a auto cannon, rocket pods and missiles it could also deploy I believe 8 to 10 troops into battle. So Imagine this thing flying in fireing rockets and missiles obliterating ground units then deploying troops on the ground then providing close air support for the troops. It’s easy to see the inspiration for the Star Wars gunship
The funny thing is that the Hind rarely utilize it's crew compartment for transport, prefer to let the MI 8 Hip do the transporting.
Although I heard that mercenary pilots do use the space to store extra fuel and ammo.
LAAT?? Yes please!!!
Hey, I just wanted to say I recently found your channel and all of the videos about the star wars vehicle’s are 3 years old from your channel so I am asking you to make more in depth looks at star wars vehicles
I would love to hear the complete history and culture and everything about the zeltron species 😎
Damn i love that thing
I was 11-12 years old when I watched attack of the clones for the first time and those gunships were a child me wet dream- weapons EVERYWHERE. Cannons, missiles, turrets. Same with seeing Slave 1 in action.
Prequels are garbage movies but man, in areas like starship design they didn't go cheap and safe, they took a lot of creative risks and it paid off beautifully.
What about the separatist hovering military platform from the first battlefront game
Do you meen this ?
battlefront.fandom.com/wiki/Droid_Assault_Flyer
I remember I got the toy as a kid it was so cool
this makes me wonder was there ever a thought of making a version of the LAAT that also had features from the droid gunship & atte that could handle battle in space & ground while also being able to hold on the ground or move around quickly as needed?
I can't believe you didn't even show the LAAT Gunship that the ARC Troopers used when they saved those Jedi from Grievous! It has the coolest paintjob lol. The blue and red with the scary lookin face painted on the front of the ship! Fordo was the best haha Tigershark paintjob? I can't remember
Commenting to help with the algorithm :)
Ah the LAAT. Alongside the lightsaber it's got the sound that screams "star wars" to me
So early the Celestials are still crafting the universe
I would love to see a character with a Space Worthy LAAT variant in Star Wars.
Who could resist falling in love to a buffed Huey
I have a potential ship you should cover. The Viscount class star defender.
There’s lots of surface fire
Nothing we can’t handle sir
I think you forgot the the two used by the Muunilist Ten.
First was an ARC variant with a different wing design and was shot down over Muunilist, the other was the Sharkmouth LAAT from when they kicked Grievous's mechanical butt...
I'm very sceptical that a standard LAAT could carry 30 soldiers. It seems it's a little small for that. I've also been confused on why Star Wars transports always have everyone standing in the transport bay. It's hard enough to stand on a moving bus or train. Imagine the impossibility of several troops remain standing while their transport is moving and maneuvering at combat speed.
LAAT is my top 1 favorite Gunship
Best vehicle in any of the movies
One of the ships I would love to own in the SW universe.
