The two legged walking power armors

Re: The two legged walking power armors

Ive just never been into it, Ive never watched any of those sci-fi shows, including star trek, I havent seen one episode of that yet

That's not true...that's impossible!!!


Search your feelings, boy, you KNOW it to be true.

The legs allow the AT-ATs to access places that wheels would not allow them to reach, for instance when they have to walk up a flight of stairs.

I've NEVER seen an AT-AT walking up stairs. First, those would have to be some HUGE stairs. An AT-ST, I could see. But most definitely NOT an AT-AT. AT-ATs are made to walk on snow...




Yeah, I know there were some on Endor, but still.....

Re: The two legged walking power armors

I never understood the logic behind "walking" transports...

can someone enlighten me please on how those could possibly be more effective?

Ive never watched star wars so maybe Im missing something

Because a giant walking machine makes more of an impact than one on wheels? Though, it isn't a logical choice.

Re: The two legged walking power armors

Imagine how half of the manga/anime out there would be if all the giant robots were on wheels....

Im only 25

I didnt say it had to be wheels, perhaps airborne? that would make a bit more sense to me, but eh, guess it would make an easy target, but something on four legs does too, at least an airborne unit can move in 3 dimensions

I used to tease my younger brother by telling him he was hatched from the same egg as Jabba the Hut.

Re: The two legged walking power armors

Walking legs is good for unstable, or rough terrain that wheels cant access. But those AT-ATs man........They were just big slow moving targets waiting to be shot at.

but they had ****ing hovering/flying technology. Thats way more effective than any legs or wheels. I dont know why they didnt just make EVERYTHING hover. If Lukes porr ass family could afford to get that hovercar, why cant the Empire?

The legs allow the AT-ATs to access places that wheels would not allow them to reach, for instance when they have to walk up a flight of stairs to kill the republic's soldiers in the kitchen.

Re: The two legged walking power armors

The AT-AT's were more a psychological weapon than they were a functional one.

A giant robotic animal crushing everything it walks across would lower the morale of your infantry pretty quickly, I think.

But well armored ones! That's why they couldn't just shoot them. They needed cables and Luke's heroics to take them.

It was 1970's stop-motion animation what'd you want?

At Crunk not Pervulate Man.
