Not the U-Wing, but the stolen Cargo Shuttle, is arguably the definitive ship of the Rogue One crew, as it is when they steal away in it, to defiantly take on their mission to bring hope to the Rebellion, i when they take up the moniker
Rogue One.
Of course a ship this scale would never be built, but looking at the details, it's actually smaller than I thought. So I'm curious, just hypothetically (we know it will never happen), with a massive scaling down and stylizing, yet not as off as the U-Wing, what minimum size would it take to have a somewhat satisfying version of the Rogue One Cargo Shuttle?
The image above shows two pilots in the cockpit side by side, taking
that as the minimum functional starting point, what scale could you pull off, to have a satisfying ship.
The vintage AT-AT could fit two pilots in the head/cockpit, and had a large hull (although obviously the R1 Cargo Shuttle would be flatter and wider then the AT-AT), could you fake the two levels into one and split the difference, and I guess imagine the AT-AT's legs flipped up, to somewhat mimic the height/scale of the folding wings of the Shuttle.
Would that be enough?
Or would it at minimum have to scale up to at least the AT-AT Legacy Collection scale?
Could it work roughly about the size of two vintage Imperial Shuttles end to end?
Not really asking if you are a fan of the ship (aka the flying sea-turtle) or not, assuming you were, could you imagine satisfyingly pulling off the R1 Shuttle at either of those scales? Yes No? In Hasbro's prime, could they pull something like that off ? Would it have to be much bigger?
Any thoughts?
