What do you think gang? Is Wave Nine The The Force Awakens Series?
I saw this posted by one of our Star Brahs today and man it got me wanting to get all of the few ships in TFA Film... sooner rather than later!
And the goodies I got a few months back...
These Micro Machines look good and are close to the right scale too... so they sure make for a nice idea of how cool TFA ships could be on our tables.
What say you?
Do we want the rest of TFA Ships in a full wave of glory?
If they serve a purpose sure
Not sure why you would want troop transports in a space fighting game, but sure.
Edited by KdubbThe Upsilon shuttle would be an impressive mini...
Really, though, I'd love to see the Resistance and the First Order get more ships to play with.

The troop transport could serve as a really cheap units to haul crew around. Cheapest Palpmobile ever....
I'd guess we're going to see the TIE/sf and either the troop transport or the command shuttle as a second Imperial ship. Resistance is harder. You could do their troop transport, but otherwise you're kind of stuck.
There is absolutely zero reason for the FO troop transport to be in X-Wing. It has zero attack capability and brings nothing new to the table (other than our first zero attack ship). The TIE/sf however, I am quite excited to see.

Yeah they had three ships, and one is a slightly diff-rant Falcon... yipes, but I want 'em anyhow.
Except for the TIE/sf, I hope we don't get any other new episode 7 ships. Let's just hope that rogue one and VIII have some goodies.
And really, I'm not sure if I need a bunch more TIE fighter lookalikes either. I already have 16 of essentially the same model.
Edited by tortugatronI'm wondering if we will see something like the Raider. An FFG designed Resistance ship.
Maybe, It depends on two things.
It could be possible that the extent of FFG's license with Disney only covers the episode 7 X-wing and TIE Fighter and if that is the case FFG has to renegotiate with Disney to gain access to the other ships.
Is it just me, or is that Rebel Troop Transport model kind of small? Numerous people we standing inside it, which makes it seem a little off in that picture with the X-Wing.

Second Zero Attack: GR-75.
I hope we get as many TFA ships as possible, but the First Order troop transport seems like it should be a cardboard token from a mission.
Wave 9, if I had my way, would include the Wookiee AntiSlaver.
I'm expecting a bit more Rebels stuff. The new Mandalorian Fang fighters, for one...

THINK OF THE CREW CAPACITY!

Nope, the Micromachines Modell is exactly 1/270. With 17,83m this resembles about 66mm. A bit longer than the X-Wing Modell.
Thanks Boss, I am that Star Brah ... and yes I agre with your first post entirely. Would love to field Kylo's shuttle surrounded by a lot of First order transports.
Maybe it will only happen the day we get scenario fights, Resistance has to destroy so and so many transports etc, but I hope we get them
Rookiepilot: The micro Machines one is preeetty close if not exactly right in size. The Micro Machine Quad Jumper also seems to be spot on, I need to find a use for it
I don't think wave 9 will be only Force Awakens though, it would be great to get the Special Forces Tie and the Resistance transport, but scum will probablu get something from Rebels, the only faction that is missing something from that show, right? Maybe FFG waits and see what will happen with ships like Kylos his shuttle, before they decide what to do with it. For now it seems like the best option to get Kylo Ren/Hux/ Phasma crew cards.

Second Zero Attack: GR-75.
Not everything has to be 100pt deathmatch.
Scenario play is nice, and Empire at the moment is lacking an objective like the GR75 or the Senator shuttle. Would be nice if Empire had to protect, and the terr...eh rebels or scum can attack ruthless.
Second Zero Attack: GR-75.
The greasy smears on the hull of my GR-75 tell a different story.
I haven't used the Force Awakens models I've already got, to be honest.
Do the troop transports even have anti ship guns?
You can add rens shuttle and the sf but what do rebels get...
Think of the cool scenarios that can come with non-combat ships.
