My brother's friend brother gave this to me when I was about three. I was very exited when I got it but he lost four of the droids. I only had six. but it was still nice. I played with it every day. Trade federation MTTs are probably the best lego sets Ever. In life. So far. The new one is good but not as good.

Before every great remake there is a great original! Setting the pace for my favorite lego set of all time, the 7184 Trade Federation MTT is a wonderfully classic set that really captures the earlier design of when lego star wars first came to be. This set has great features like the opening front door to reveal the droid rack, opening doors on the side to reveal the cockpit, an opening door in the back to reveal extra cargo room, and opening flaps on the side to reveal hidden turret guns. The model can also come apart into two smaller pieces, one being like a command post with relay signal computer pieces. Along with a minifig count of SEVEN battle droids makes this set a one of a kind.

Another thing that I would like to add though is that this set really isn't appreciated as much as it should be simply because of the newer version. I mean, of course the newer version's gona have more features otherwise it wouldn't be newer. You shouldn't down this set just because there is a newer version. I mean, I like the 7662 more than this one, but I don't absolutely hate this set. I like them both, and I think that both are fantastic sets. They both have something to add to the lego star wars universe.

My older brother got this for his birthday and believe me, it was one of the most incredible sets ever! Firstly, the back can come out and fold and open into a base with computers and stuff! There's a back door to that can open too. The droids are a great army builder, maybe one or two more though. :)
The doors beside the drivers room can open, and the front open to reveal a droid carrier with deactivated droids. Color scheme and likeness to the movie are great as well to add to the praise.
Pros:
1. Seven droids! Great army build (As already mentioned)
2. Nice front blaster guns.
3. At the back of it near the side you can open shutters to reveal turrets!
4. Opening doors to the cabin.
5. Can fold out into a great base.
6. Front can open and carrier can come out.
7. Exclusive pieces!
Cons"
1. Maybe the color of the guns and blasters.
2. Nothing else to add! :)
Overall this set scores at least 9/10!
Keep up the good work Lego!

This was my first large lego starwars set.
I got it when I was about 6-7. Sadly,
I never saw the finished product. Even
though my brother, Mom, and 2 friends helped
me build it. The directions were kinda
complicated, However I believe this set is
downright cool. I will never forget those
droids.

so its my first review

pros:
its big
back compartment can hold 6 super battle droids and 8 battle droids
7 in front
overall can hold alot of troops i have gotten 30 droids in there that includes 6 SDs
breaks into a small command center

cons:
it doesnt hold together well
not enough droids

but a great set
