GAR: “we call these walkers “all-terrain” Also GAR: “we made the UT-AT for terrain that our walkers can’t traverse”

[@Mega-Brick]

It's pretty strange, considering the AT-TE is DEFINITELY all-terrain, especially since it can climb surfaces.

[@00yiggdrasill00]

If i remember correctly the ut-at was designed as a specialist bridge crosser, thats why it has the bridge laying equipment. The issue was that while the walkers were indeed all terrain they were heavy with thumping foot falls that disablized some natural and constructed bridges so they needed a way to make their own or reinforce what was there.

[@Mega-Brick]

Notice that the majority of these are from the prequel era and/or Clone Wars. Maybe it's just the time the original trilogy was made, but I've always felt a lot more passion went into the design of the prequel vehicles.

[@vonfaustien3957]

The original were made on a more limited budget and had minimal cgi. Most ships were cobbled together from a few different model kits limiting the amount of variety in ship design since they were all made of the same parts. The prequels had larger budgets and cgi letting them differentiate the ships more because they didnt have to share model parts.

[@Mega-Brick]

@@vonfaustien3957 They didn't have *any* CGI, actually. And I know why. But still. Most people will say the prefer OT designs over PT designs despite the limitation.

[@vonfaustien3957]

Those things would literally kill the enemy just by seeing it. Other fans that had a more realistic grasp on reality said it's main body couldn't be supported by the skinny legs but other just told the dude about repuslor engines and how if the FO engineers the legs and lower main body with some, they'll be fine and crawling across the battlefield in no time.

[@ShurikenSean]

I really like the AT-AP, I remember having the toy of it back in the day and not realizing what the 3rd leg was for. now looking at it I realize the walker ran around on its main two legs to quickly get to an optimal firing position and then deployed the 3rd leg as a tripod for firing stability on its huge cannon it had more mobility than the larger AT-TE but still had its heavy firepower. I imagine it constantly moving on the battlefield, scouting positions and taking out key targets with its over sized cannon, moving on before the enemy could pin down its sniping position

[@faizazman7797]

But what a shame it has weak hull . and can be destroyed easily without escort. But it really great support vehicle

[@mayhemal]

Can you make the most practical sw vehicles for example tanks and ships in seperate vids i know it would take more time but

[@SmartassX1]

Some years ago some scientists from NASA, or something, were asked to analize all Star Wars vehicles. They determined that the single best designed vehicle is the Sandcrawler. I can't remember which ship they liked most, but they noticed that wings on ships are stupid and pointless, because some have very elaborate wing designs and others have none. So if there's an option to have none and the performance doesn't depend on it, one should choose a ship with few of them. And they also made note of the fact that asymmetric ships (especially those where the cabin is in any way off-set are likely very hard to pilot. This was all around the time the prequels were still new, so I can't provide a link.

[@Knightwolf1994]

#1 has to be the Canderous Tank. It can take massive amounts of abuse and can dish some out as well.

I'd really like to see your take on the top animals in the Star Wars universe that were domesticated for use by other species. The Gungans used Rantos, Empire riding Dewbacks, Tuskens and their Banthas, Rebel Alliance riding Taun Tauns, etc.

[@tedcohen9805]

At 5:03 you say AT-PT when talking about the AT-AP.

[@TekMan05]

If walkers were the Empire's main war machines over tanks I don't understand why they didn't at least make different variants for different purposes. For instance the standard AT-AT and AT-ST would be best on urban worlds maintaining order. In combat roles, make AT-AT variants with anti aircraft turrets, and ones equipped with shield generators to protect other walkers, vehicles, and infantry. AT-ST variants could have Gatling guns and missle launchers and even adapt the shielding tech from the AT-XT.

[@DarthWall275]

The AT-AT still makes no damn sense to me. So the Empire decided to strike fear into the hearts of the Rebel Alliance by evoking the nightmarish image of......a camel with arthritis?

[@AntonSolo]

Oh I still have mine stored away at my Dad's house back in LA... I LOVED that toy!!

[@Ms.Strahl]

I like the AT-SE too; the Empire could use a big, dedicated, heavily armed and armored assault walker design. However, I'm very surprised that you didn't include the spider-like MT-AT (Mountain Terrain Armored Transport) on your list because it should rank in the top ten at least!

[@NovaAge]

Maining Soviet SPAA in War Thunder really made me wonder just what (if any) *models* (so no "this 1 guy did it once") of civilian converts was out there a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... Or any desperation last-ditch vehicle/weapon if there isn't enough for a list.

[@HerrscherPuppet]

[@trevorgoodchild8266]

I also love the design of the Shock Enforcer, it looks like the ED-209 from Robocop mated with an AT-AT.

[@ArvexYT]

I'm not sure the All Terrain Shock Enforcer is actually canon to any extent, not even within Legends. Every reference I've found to it has been to various fan fiction and roleplaying communities. One source I found says it was from a novel, one which was published on a Star Wars fan fiction community and it looks like other communities adopted its design. Not canon, but still cool. It's also way too practical to fit with the Tarkin Doctrine, anyways.

[@pretziboy4162]

[@thalmoragent9344]

7:40 Not gonna lie, if it was set to a certain size, it would be very effective and dangerous, since it would have a huge canon with 2 smaller ones for good offense and with its armor, had good defense. With a decent engine, speed would be pretty reasonable, and overall, I feel like it would be a good defensive vehicle to like protect a city or something, ya know?

[@michaelrue1400]

Not sure only 2 legs could support a body like that.

[@ehta2413]

Good video, but why it's hidden? :D Also I think Battlezone II alien heavy walker tank was the best, weirdest walker I've seen so far. Un-even 5 legs and walloping but speedy gait was extremely fun to play with. Would love to see something similar in Star Wars as well. :)

I've always loved the AT-AP. It looks so over-burdened but still works. It's the quintessential "How Much Gun Can I Stick On This Thing?" vehicle of Star Wars.

[@KuDastardly]

Personally, I think the AT-SE looked like it had it's tail ripped off. And given the way some of these walkers had their bodies far too forward in their designs, adding a tail would have help counter-balance the center of gravity to provide stability.

[@casbot71]

With amphibious/beach assaults, wouldn't speeders be better? They can just keep going up beyond the beach - fast, then deploy outside of enemy killzones. And they can probe for unguarded avenues to attack if shore defenses are too intense at the designated point. They allow flanking manoeuvres and tactical flexibility. Imagine how useful they would be in a D-Day style situation, the defenders wouldn't be able to predict where they would hit and they could break out easier than a tank.

[@faizazman7797]

In star wars repulsor lift had many problem with heavy vehicle.
