This speederbike is a early variant of the famous 74-Z speeder bike.
Description: Although the Aratech 74-Z was used for the majority of the Clone Wars and the reign of the Empire, for their original attack on Geonosis the finished design was not available and a prototype version was used instead. This version was less maneuverable and somewhat lighter armed, but carried its laser cannon on a under slung turret which allowed it a much greater field of fire, allowing strafing attacks and shots to be fired at pursuers. This however came at a higher manufacturing cost than a fixed weapon, so was abandoned in the finished design. Once the 74-Z became available, the 74-A's used in the attack on Geonosis were dumped onto the market, where they were snatched up, and have continued to be popular to the current day, although parts for the turret are rare, the rest of the bike uses almost identical parts to the 74-Z so remain easy to repair and operate.
