Following the destruction of the Droid Control Ship, all elements of the Trade Federation Droid Army on Naboo shut down. MTTs also deployed legions of battle droids during the Battle of Naboo.
Updated model of the MTT, which deployed droids four units at a time in battle-ready position Two MTTs transported Trade Federation troops to the occupation of Spinnaker. They were landed on the far side of the planet and attacked the capital city, Theed in the early morning. The MTT's first deployment was during the Invasion of Naboo in the year 32 BBY. The MTT was originally manufactured by Baktoid on the planet of Ord Cestus. The MTT's weapons allowed it to deploy its B1-Series battle droids on the front line, whereas the PAC was used to drop off troops and leave the battle. Since the MTT was armed with twin blaster cannons, it was an obvious counterpart of the unarmed Platoon Attack Craft, which served a similar function. The MTT was capable of being upgraded to a more powerful version, the Heavy Multi-Troop Transport. Some were also repainted in Separatist colors and retrofitted with new racks that could carry 12 super battle droids. Further models employed during the Clone Wars, including the ones used during the Battle of Muunilinst, deployed soldiers in standing and battle-ready position, four units at a time, allowing for immediate deployment of droids efficiently and reducing vulnerability. Īfter the Battle of Naboo, it became clear that the MTT's deployed too slowly. A single turret, however, was accurate and powerful enough to target and destroy a starfighter in atmospheric combat. It was armed with only a quartet of 17kv anti-personnel blaster cannons twin-mounted in two ball turrets. The MTT's control room was staffed by an OOM pilot battle droid and a droid gunner/engineer.
With heavy armor and weaponry, the strongest Baktoid had ever made, the MTT was almost unstoppable.
The MTT's face was reinforced and studded with case-hardened metal alloy studs and was designed to smash through enemy walls to reach its destination. The folded droids hanged from a hydraulically powered deployment rack that extended out from the face of the MTT, allowing the droids to be deployed directly into combat if needed. The MTT could carry a company of 112 battle droids, comprising 100 infantry, 10 security droids, and 2 commanders, all of which were equipped with their standard blaster rifles. Reminiscent of a jungle animal, its reactor and main engines were in the rear, in classic Baktoid style. The Multi-Troop Transport was manufactured and designed by Baktoid Armor Workshop, as a modified cargo pod.
