Every year, Ship Showdown challenges the community to champion their favorite vehicle. With more ships, snubs, fighters, and ground-pounders than ever to choose from this year, 2955 is sure to be one for the record books! From massive freighters to agile hoverbikes and everything in-between, you made your voices heard and let us know which contenders should come out on top. We received countless incredible submissions, including screenshots, videos, Lego® creations, original songs, and even 3D-printed models. Thousands of entries were tallied to bring us our top 16, which battled it out in the first round of head-to-head bouts. Now, as we enter the ELITE EIGHT, all of our remaining contenders are now available to FLY FOR FREE! The final battle starts here, where your votes will ultimately crown this year's Ship Showdown champion.
Here are the top eight vehicles this year, chosen by you:
