Thanks for looking!

This is brilliant, fun concept and great execution.

Ha! Love this. Even putting the fun part to one side for a moment, the design is really good. If you showed me this without the bricks on the pontoons, and told me it was a Legends TIE variant, I would have believed you.

But what a fun concept.

Very nice! I like the roundness of the cockpit,  and the guns are excellent. When saw the title, my first thought was "c'mon, how do you mispell TIE?", but nope, you definately didn't!

Thanks! Replacing the studs with something more lore realistic is a pretty good idea, I might have to try that later!

I actually got the idea because I kept typing "toe fighter" on my phone, and it seemed like a fun thing to make!

Honestly, even as-is, It'd make a pretty good bunker-buster, smashing through walls with those things haha.

For me it's always allies to "Allie's". I don't even know anyone named Allie!

It would be cool to see a "lore realistic" version, the Mauler base is really cool (seriously, those guns are perfect too for anti-personnel)

SCRATCH THE LORE IDEA, MIDISCALEENHTHUSIAST, I NEED A VERSION OF THIS WITH BRICK SEPERATERS ON THE ENDS, STAT.

will do haha! I'll get to it in a bit.

Love the tongue in cheek humor with this design. The TIE portion is great, and the big bricks on the ends are almost perfect. The brick color does seem a little off for the Empire. Maybe a red 2x4 for a special unit?

[MKJoshA]

I love the large version studs built into the craft. Great humor and well executed!

[MidiScaleEnthusiast]

Hi everyone! As requested, here are a couple variations:

Red bricks and color striping

More lore realistic tx-225-esque pontoons

For the brick separator version, I'm planning on changing the entire pontoon to a brick separator, but that will change a lot so it will take more time.

I hope you like these variants! Thanks for looking!

[Mandalorianknight]

Love the variants! The red definately makes the large-scale bricks on the end pop more, and the "canon" version looks great too. The "canon" version almost looks like a sort of fast-moving speeder now, I could see that thing tearing up infantry with the anti-personnel blasters.

[Feuer Zug]

The red stripe mod is perfect.

I initially didn't understand, what the brick-like pontoons were supposed to be... And then it struck me! That's brilliant. It looks nice and feels very Star Wars. By the way, this MOC inspired me to add a transparent hexagonal viewport in the rear of my TIE interceptor. So I should thank you!
