2011 CW Vehicle: Republic AV-7 Mobile Cannon

Assuming this is the cannon in the movie that i wanted as soon as i saw it! Hopefully this isn't something else that Hasbro has come up with instead.
At $29.99, I assume it's a regular mid-size vehicle, meaning it's unlikely this is something Hasbro whipped up in their imagination. I assume it's this:
Very, very cool move Hasbro.

Samething happened to me with the AT TE. Whatever it is you really want Hasbro to make, turn it in to an April fools next year and just wait lol.
Yeah Chewie thats what i thought it is, but with no picture of it i worry.
I'm very surprised by this news, Hasbro was asked if they'd make this when the CW 'movie' was released and I think they used one of their blanket statements that it was not action oriented enough and wouldnt appeal to kids - so I'm shocked they are back peddling.
I understand the reasoning at the time. The Clone Wars was "new" back then, and now that there is an established group of collectors for this line, this seems like less of a risk to them. And to be honest, there is not a lot there in terms of material and 4 of the legs would probably share the same mold for additional cost savings.
I get aggravated when they imply so often that there is zero chance of something becoming a reality in the line because it's not action oriented enough.
They really just need to leave their options open in my opinion... which I guess they do in a way, as it seems their strategy changes every couple years or so too. That kind of gives me some hope with some of the things they have said are off the table... but I'm getting older, and my time for enjoying this stuff is starting to become a smaller window. I really hope they take advantage of the interest of people like myself in certain items before it's too late.

Now THAT I'd like! That one is awesome. :wink:
Seems like it would be the equivalent of the Republic's 4 legged artillery cannon. I'd like to see both of them produced.
I'd like the Sep equivalent too, i think also with the legs off it would double as the sep cannons on their frigates.
Totally unrelated to Clone Wars but back in the day I proposed a Turbo Laser Tower that was electronic, launched missiles, and blew into pieces. Nice to see Hasbro is considering big guns like this!
Looks like its definitely the 4 legged one...

Scaled down a bit but still cool.

That is awesome!!!! I might actually buy a Clone Wars "vehicle" this is incredible and would look perfect in a Clone Trooper Diorama!!
When i saw the thumbnail on the frontpage i thought it was really small, thankfully it turned out to be just the positioning of the image. Looks fantastic can't wait, strangely JI are saying it will be out in the next few days? :?
Oh and i hope the legs come on and off no problem, as i think it would look good as a 'stable' cannon.
