TIE Brute

About the TIE Brute

The TIE Brute, officially designated the TIE/rb Heavy Starfighter, is one of the Empire’s most intimidating starfighter variants — an armored, heavy-hitting evolution of the classic TIE design. With its outrigger-mounted weapon pod, reinforced hull, and aggressive profile, it made a memorable on-screen debut in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

About this MOC

This LEGO TIE Brute MOC captures the heavy-hulled Imperial starfighter seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Featuring the signature outrigger-mounted laser cannons, reinforced cockpit, and detailed hull plating, this build balances bulk and accuracy. Perfect for Star Wars fans and LEGO builders seeking a powerful, screen-accurate TIE variant to add to their collection. Complete step-by-step building instructions included. I’ve built this ship using the instructions myself, and it’s very sturdy and swooshable.

Parts Note

You can use either the TIE cockpit part 18675pb02 from the LEGO set 75300 (shown in my renderings and included in the parts list) or swap it for part 18675pb23 from the more recent LEGO set 75348 (Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor).

Modular TIE Series

I’ve designed seven custom TIE variants that share a standardized 3-pin connection point between wings and pods, allowing you to freely swap parts between ships to create alternate configurations and custom builds. Learn more about the Modular TIE Series on my Patreon
