PDT-8 Personnel Deployment Transport

The PDT-8 Personnel Deployment Transport was a small two-man vehicle used by the Rebel 
Alliance.

It had two open spaces that could be used to transport people or cargo. The PDT-8 featured 
two large jet pod thrusters at the side and also had two small blaster cannons.

Behind the Scenes

The PDT-8 was part of Kenner's Mini-Rig line. It was discontinued after 1982, although this
is one of the fewer vehicles that could carry more than one figure.

Originally the PDT-8 was meant to transport Droids. It was first called DPT-8, but then 
changed into the definitive name.
