The Multi-Utility Transport was manufactured by Baktoid Armor Workshop. The MUT's design recall heavy jungle-dwelling charging creatures: its heavily armored fore section can withstand great impacts, allowing it to ram an enemy building and unload it carried troops behind enemy lines. MUT can carry up a company of 112 battle droids in stowed configuration with its detachable hydraulically powered deployment rack. The MUT was well-protected with its thick armor with four forwarded-mounted anti-personnel blasters in addition.
The MUT was first seen in the Clone Wars, but a similar-looking model that shared more of a resemblance to the original MTT design (though it had the MUT's "wings") was known to have operated slightly earlier on, as it was encountered by Jedi Master Adi Gallia when she investigated the Trade Federation's presence in the Karthakk system.
The MUT saw action on Raxus Prime, Rhen Var, and Thule during the Dark Reaper crisis, where they were generally part of large convoys protected by Armored Assault Tanks, Single Trooper Aerial Platforms, and Ground Armored Tanks. They had a very low ground speed, suggesting that they could carry large amounts of cargo but were not very fast when doing so.
