This is my exploration of the idea that the second hull of the "TIE bomber" could be a socket for various mission-specific models, to expand the breadth of roles the TIE bomber can take on. I designed and modeled 8 different options.
The TIE bomber mesh is my own. It is not an exact replica of the original ILM miniature, as I created my version with additional detail that wasn't present on the somewhat bare-bones original miniature. I also subtly updated some proportions to match other TIE fighter variants a bit more harmoniously.
I explore this concept in detail in my YouTube video here:
