XT Beetle Transport

The XT Beetle was a vehicle used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars that moved on ten pairs of mechanized legs. Two crashed XTs were bundled together by large cables to form a Separatist outpost on the planet Orto Plutonia. However, they were raided and their droid crews destroyed by local Talz villagers. Later on, the base was used as a neutral meeting ground for negotiations between the native Talz and the Pantorans.

Behind the scenes
The XT Beetle first appeared, albeit unidentified, in "Trespass," the fifteenth episode of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' first season, which originally aired on January 30, 2009. It was later identified in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One, a box set available on Blu-ray or DVD that included the entirety of the first season of the The Clone Wars that was released on November 3, 2009. The XT Beetle's design was derived from unused concept art for the Multi-Troop Transport developed by Doug Chiang.
