LEGO Star Wars 8016 Hyena Droid Bomber

LEGO set 8016, “Hyena Droid Bomber”, depicts a droid bomber from the Star Wars universe. Released in 2009 under the Star Wars theme, it contains 236 pieces and includes one minifigure, Battle Droid / Rocket Battle Droid.

Hyena Droid Bomber is part of the LEGO Star Wars theme and represents a mechanical combat craft from the license. The set focuses on a vehicle rather than a complete scene, making it easy to place with other ships, droids and machines from the same theme.

The build uses 236 pieces to create the outline and structure of the droid bomber. The included minifigure is Battle Droid / Rocket Battle Droid.

This reference suits display, play and collection, especially for builders who group LEGO Star Wars sets by vehicles or factions. In a Star Wars lineup, 8016 stands out as a droid bomber subject rather than a character driven craft. It can be positioned alongside other models from the license without needing a specific scene to define it.
