Can someone explain what the advantage is to walking on the front legs like that?

It was about destroying Lucas clean design and creating a nigger walker.

Also those red lights there making it look more evil like how everything in TLJ is re as well

Can someone explain what the advantage of those 'tusks' are?

the red view slit looks vaguely cylon.

Would you stick your finger in alien soil and then lick it?
He obviously didn't know it was going to be salt.

You don't even see their feet in the movie, looks like even Disney realized how retarded the design was.

it's changed just barely enough that they can claim it's a new design (even though it's not) and idiots will believe it

WUZ

The EU's AT-AHT had a better design without the retarded front legs and more guns/cannons.

...

IMPERIALS

What did they do to its legs. Is that a fucking gorilla paw ?
What for ?

Who knows. They probably thought it would "look cool" and sell as a toy. Its just so fucking stupid. Its a fucking AT-AT pretending to be a gorilla.

At least this looks like a walking fortress.

AT-ATs are really really undermined in all star wars iterations.
They are supposed to be big and menacing, yet get taken down in the dumbest of ways all the time.
The entire thing is one sad design never meant to be truly useful, just some menace that is menacing until you deal with it.

AT-ATs shouldn't even be used in the Empire or whatever they call it now's main forces anyway. The only reason they used them was because the Hoth shield generators kept them from using Tie fighters and bombers.

it's obviously a reference to some of the german tank designs in WW2, they made them to be really intimidating but ended up having problems with functionality, like the tiger eating up way too much fuel.

The Rogue One version was the worst. Literally a regular AT-AT with orange paint slapped on the side.


This.

The wheeled one that was in Episode 3 for 5 seconds always seemed way more practical and cooler. IDK why the Empire didn't keep on using most of the Republic's stuff.

Lockheed had some F-35's to sell them.

But Tiger tanks while eating lots of fuel were still legit strong tanks.
The AT-ATs are just big scarecrows in star wars.

Wheeled ones probably wouldn't do well in snow, aquatic or volcanic terrains. Legs offer more mobility but its lack of guns on its sides and rears was a heavy flaw that provided a huge weakpoint for ships to abuse as we saw on Hoth. However this design with both rear, side and top guns is less likely to be fucked with.

...

They should've stuck with ATTE's…

but that would be white

Better?

Cons
Pros

Made me think the other night when TPM was on, the droid driver in a hover-tank gets blown up and the thing loses control. Why doesn't the tank have it's own AI?

This is not the sandwich thread dummy.

Maybe it was intended for real people before droids became the backbone of their army and no one bothered upgrading it.

Yeah, they stopped using hoover tanks after Naboo.

What does this pic have to do with
WE
was a nigger the designer for that?

they turned the ATAT into a knuckle dragging nigger bot.

Oh, now i see it, sheit.
thx fam.

That scene where they're fighting in the not snow planet: the nu-Empire uses regular AT-AT walkers too.

Ooga Boyega where dah white rebel womens at?
We wuz jedis an shit.

Well, the front legs seem to be more armored which is good. However, it probably would have done more good it they armored the joints as well. That's all ignoring the fact that AT-AT's make no sense as a military vehicle in the first place.

It would maybe make sense if they were intended to move without getting picked up by radar or something but they're like 50 feet tall so fuck it. It's pretty much just a robot dinosaur.

AT-AT legs have repulsor lifts and shields, they can theoretically lift unlimited weight and are invincible as long as you don't have a magnetic tow cable and snow speeder.

It would if

It could only make sense on ridiculously uneven terrain. Like a crazy mineral planet or a planet covered in debris… or huge craters.

The bigger, heavier front legs are supposedly there to provide more stability, when firing the new gigantic laser cannon mounted in the torso.

Sounds like a bullshit explanation they gave at the last minute to justify the stupid design only existing because that's the one kids most wanted as a toy.

But a laser cannon shouldn't have any recoil.

I wonder, are there any nigger star wars fans who thought they were going to get a black jedi only to have him be a huge pussy who needs to get rescued by thots in each movie?

They thought Finn would end up being the actual hero/jedi and save Rei. Their disappointment was very salty.

He did though, when she got pwned against that tree. Keylo could have easily raped her there and then, but token black guy handled the saber like a boss with not an ounce of Mary Sue written into his character but he was savagely cut down and paralyzed for life 12 hours.

Woah
