So I got a package of Star Wars: Armada stuff. Nice. Still stoked. But part of that delivery were two packs of Hammerheads and they all lack an engine.

Like, look at this still from Rogue One...

... orthis image from the Wookiepedia...

... and compare it to the ship card's artwork...

...or this promotional picture of the Armada models.

Why did they remove an engine? What is going on?

Possibly the card art and miniature are based on concept art that was later changed for the film. FFG would get concept art for the new movies in advance so they could make miniatures to coincide with the release. Another example is that the tie silencer in x-wing is a different scale from the film.

That... Actually makes sense. Nice.
