The Imperial combat assault tank has great maneuverability in tight quarters, such as the streets of occupied cities. Its laser cannons can devastate enemy troops, and the powerful engines can transport heavy payloads.

This Occupier tank contains a fully operational MP3 Player with speaker on the flatbed. Powered by a 9V Block battery the Arduino inside turns the Kyber Crates, that are equiped with NFC chips inside, to MP3 Crates. The NFC chips are getting read by a RFID reader which starts the MP3 module.
It was a pain to get everything inside the tank. It is completly stuffed with electronic parts and cabels, but finally I managed to get it inside AND working.
Each crate is programmed for another Mode. So there is the orange crate for Battle Mode, which contains battle sounds and radio chatter. With the red crate the different Star Wars OSTs are getting played and the blue one turns the Occupier into a DJ, playing Star Wars remixes.
Hi there! I remember seeing this post years ago, and with the upcoming 224th Imperial Armored Division army box releasing later this year in 2026 for Legion and the GAV tank being one of my favorite models in the game, I wanted to revisit this! I would love to get some behind-the-scenes photos or insight as to how you got all this to fit in the tank as well as where to get started if I wanted to do something similar myself. I would also love to know what kinds of “battle mode” sounds it makes or if you could even share the mp3 file with me. Great work as always!
Hi Perry, sorry for the late answer. I mixed several matching sounds from YouTube. Unfortunately I neither know which ones I used nor have I the file anymore.
