About this creation

The All Terrain Recon Transport (AT-RT) was a one-man bipedal walker used for reconnaissance and patrolling, first by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars,[5] and later on by the Galactic Empire[6][7] and Alliance to Restore the Republic.[8]
Contents [show]

One of several precursors to the AT-ST walker, the AT-RT was 3.2 meters tall and 2.9 meters long, with a saddle-like seat for a single clone trooper driver. Its open cockpit design made the driver especially vulnerable to sniper fire, a notable flaw, but low costs and good visibility of the battlefield made up for this shortcoming. While other walkers like the AT-PT eliminated the flaw of the exposed driver position, the AT-PT was slower, and this made the AT-RT competitive with the former.[9][1]
The recon walker was equipped with a nose-mounted repeating blaster cannon[9] and mortar launcher,[10] both of which made the walker a formidable anti-infantry unit. The AT-RT was fitted with a motion detection scanner and sensor equipment capable of providing Forward Command Centers with updated situation reports from the battlefield.[9]
Advanced Recon Force troopers were known to pilot these walkers.Due to its light construction, AT-RT walkers were especially vulnerable to heavy weapons. This led many commanders to use them in fast scout packs or in the role of civilian (police or military) support. Commonly, these walkers operated as picket and pathfinder units.[9][11]
AT-RT walkers were used on several worlds during the Clone Wars, during the battles such as the Battle of Christophsis, Battle of Ryloth, Battle of Bakura and Battle of Kashyyyk, and were later used in an attempt to track down Jedi Master Yoda following the execution of Order 66.[5] They also saw action on Outer Rim planets such as the conflict on Utapau and Mygeeto.These light-weight walkers would also be utilized in the attack on the Jedi Temple.[source?] Over a year later, during an attempt by ex-Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana and Ferus Olin to retrieve a cache of lightsabers from the occupied Temple, AT-RTs would back up teams of stormtroopers that were hunting them. However, it appeared that the AT-RT was phased out in favor of the AT-ST.[7]
During the Galactic Civil War, modified AT-RTs would also be utilized by the Rebel Alliance and fringe groups. Many of these walkers were painted with camouflage to better blend in with their surroundings. A floodlight often replaced the repeating blaster cannon, providing additional aid for the walker on night-time missions, but making the vehicle more vulnerable in the process.[8]

Quoting Commander Zylo Everybody has there own AT-RT, some are brilliant, and some are poor. I find that yours lands in between. great, but not "brilliant". I do not understand why scale is such an important factor. Either you find great detail, or good scale with the minifigures. But yours is very good, I just don't know why it currently has 118 "I like it's", I also don't know where the front design originally came from, 4/5.

Almost every scale at-rt has that front design but i don't know who started it...
