TIE Raptor

About the TIE Raptor

The TIE Raptor was a late–Galactic Civil War starfighter developed under Warlord Zsinj in the Legends continuity. Built in a hidden shipyard beyond Dathomir rather than by Sienar Fleet Systems, the TIE/rpt combined familiar Imperial design cues with a compact four-fin configuration that emphasized agility and survivability. Its standard armament of four laser cannons and two concussion missile tubes gave it greater firepower than most TIE variants, while maneuverability rivaled that of a New Republic A-wing. Although it lacked shields like most TIE designs, a small number of shield-equipped prototypes are believed to have existed.

About this MOC

This v2 MOC is a complete redesign of my original 2021 TIE Raptor, rebuilt for strength, display, and play. It features a sturdy structure that can rest on the lower wings, a fully detailed cockpit with flight controls, and compatibility with my Modular TIE Series using shared 3-pin Technic connections, allowing easy mix-and-match with other pods and wings, including the TIE Bomber.

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
