The specialized pilots of the Empire’s heavy ground vehicles, the Imperial Assault Tank Driver, joined The Vintage Collection in 2018 as part of Wave 18. First seen navigating the streets of Jedha City in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, these troopers operate the TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tanks. This figure was a vital addition to the TVC relaunch, providing the necessary crew for the large-scale Imperial Assault Tank vehicle released during the same period.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Helmet: The sculpt features the unique, flat-faced helmet design specific to combat drivers. It shares a visual lineage with the Shoretrooper and the AT-ACT Driver but features distinct reinforced plating and specialized atmospheric filters for operating in urban combat zones.
• Attire & Deco: Clad in light grey and white armor over a dark grey undersuit. The 2018 release is known for its subtle weathering; the lower legs and chest plate feature light "scuffs" and "dirt" applications, reflecting the gritty, urban nature of the Jedha occupation.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed wrists and rocker ankles. The hip and knee joints are engineered to allow the figure to sit naturally within the cockpit of a vehicle, a crucial requirement for a dedicated driver unit.
• Display Utility: This figure is the essential pilot for the TX-225 Imperial Assault Tank. He is best displayed in pairs within the tank's hatches or standing guard alongside a squad of standard Stormtroopers (VC140) in a city street diorama.

Accessories & Equipment

The Imperial Assault Tank Driver comes equipped with a compact E-11 blaster rifle. The weapon is molded in a dark charcoal plastic. While his primary role is within the vehicle, the blaster allows for "out-of-tank" combat poses. The figure also features a non-removable thermal detonator integrated into the back of his utility belt.
