Walkers armored fighting vehicles from the Star Wars universe that traversed the landscape by
mechanical Lakes they are used by the Old Republic the Galactic Empire and the first order for ground
assault reconnaissance or transport this animation will only focus on the four to six-legged variants
the little-known Manka-class Armored Transport also referred to as an APC served as a type of
armored Walker utilized by both the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire throughout
the great Galactic War the Cold War and the Galactic War two smaller turrets were located on the back
of the hull providing supporting fire while troops were being deployed or withdrawn for
transport purposes the entire rear Hull could be lowered revealing a telescoping ramp that allowed
access to the transport compartment operating as a vital component of the Republic's armored
vehicle Fleet the Manka-class Armored Transport played a significant role in battles waged across
the Galaxy notably during the separatist War positioned on each side of the Walker were two
ball-mounted twin cannons affording a defensive coverage on both port and starboard sides.
the Manka-class Armored Transport was engineered to operate as a four-legged Walker with a Core
Body capable of accommodating up to 16 soldiers and encased in a durable Dura steel armor that
allowed it to convey Ground Forces into hazardous zones beyond the reach of shuttles positioned atop
a short neck was an armored cockpit that offered flexibility to swivel and aims at Targets via its
small fortified Windows equipped with Scopes and containing the primary pair of blaster cannons
the pilot sat in a forward compartment of the cockpit while a gunner sat next to him
to operate the cannons the Manka class is about 23 meters or 75 feet in length and about 7.5
meters or 25 feet in height with a maximum speed of 52 kilometers per hour or 32 miles per hour
the all-terrain tactical enforcer or AT-TE was a multi-purpose military ground Walker used by the
galactic Republic during the Clone Wars wading through the Savage din of battle the Walker's
six-legged stance allows it to cross crevices and climb otherwise and passably rugged slopes
The Walker was a multi-purpose assault vehicle capable of tasks ranging from the transportation
of Clone Trooper platoons around the battlefield to full-scale attacks upon enemy installations
its most powerful weapon was a single Mass driver Cannon located on the vehicle's dorsal surface
which gave the Walker the purpose of a mobile artillery vehicle as well as a tank the pilot
sat in a forward compartment while a gunner sat exposed Atop The Walker to operate the mass driver
Cannon the pilot who is normally the AT-TE Commander worked the six legs of the Walker while a spotter
who sat above the pilot utilized several sensors stations to ascertain the locations of hostile
units and primary objectives next to them were two forward Gunners who controlled the turret-mounted
laser cannons on the midsection of the Walker were where the armor and weapons were stored
these are connected by a flexible concertina section which also houses the Walker's power
generators it carries two squads of Clone Troopers into battle with seating split between the front
and rear sections of the Walker seven specially trained crew members were needed in order for the
vehicle to function properly The Walker measured 22 meters or 72 feet in length and 5 meters or
16 feet in height and has a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour or 37 miles per hour
because its legs were low to the ground The Walker had a relatively low top speed but it
also enjoyed greater stability six turret mounted laser cannons four on the front of the hull and
two in the rear defended against enemy Infantry the payloads of the gun could range from burrowing
bunker Busters to heat-seeking projectiles to Sonic charges whilst its range was considerable
it had a comparatively slow rate of fire and variable accuracy to transport the Walkers the
Republic used a low altitude assault transport or Carrier cargo gunship to the Battlefront
in years to come the success of the all-terrain tactical Enforcer will lead to heavier designs
such as the Towering all-terrain Armored Transport the vehicle performed most admirably in support
roles that involve providing immediate cover fire for battalions of soldiers they were
often deployed in large numbers to overwhelm the enemy through sheer volume of Firepower
the all-terrain Armored Transport Walker also known as the Imperial Walker was a major part of
the galactic Empire's motor pool and was designed and manufactured by the Kuat drive yards these
monstrous behemoths are shielded with heavy armor cladding rendering them impervious to all but the
most powerful turbo laser weaponry the Walker's armor deflects or absorbs Blaster Bolts from
ordinary turrets and cannons with ease a powerful reactor generates the necessary energy to mobilize
this formidable War Machine several cannons are mounted in the movable cockpit this discharging
lethal Firepower at helpless enemies below causing widespread destruction that the mighty footpaths
then trample over carrying a vast amount of Firepower and being heavily armored the Walkers
were arguably the most feared and effective land vehicle in the Imperial Army and enjoyed a long
life span from the Clone Wars to the second Imperial Civil War over 150 years later it was
the successor of the all-terrain tactical enforcer that also saw used during the Clone Wars although
it constituted a far more imposing example of Walker technology serving as the head of the
mechanical Walker was a movable command section containing the command cockpit with room for the
commander pilot and gunner the AT-AT formidable offensive capabilities were supplied by duel
chin-mounted fire-linked heavy laser cannons for slower more cumbersome targets and two fire-linked
medium repeating blasters mounted on each side of the head designed for lighter agile targets
typically the troops section of the Walker could accommodate a maximum of
40 soldiers who were usually made up of Imperial Stormtroopers or imperial land assault Troopers
Additionally, the walker was equipped with a backpack charger and a troop bench which was
used to recharge and prepare the Troopers for battle the Walker's colossal Drive Motors were
connected to a fuel cell Energizer rods and fuel pump located at the AFT end which provided the
power necessary to move the massive vehicle and to load the equipment was the Speeder Bike garage.
The AT-AT also included atmospheric exchangers and a filtration unit to regulate the interior
living conditions equipped on the main body was also a high-speed cable winch deployment
harness and a deployment platform to disembark troops off the Walker.
the command section housed all of the AT-AT weapon systems as well as
holographic targeting systems allowing the Gunners a 360-degree view of their position
to load and disembark troops The Walker kneels by bending its tri-jointed legs and lowering
its body to within three meters of the ground the Imperial Walker was a behemoth of a war
machine standing at a height of 23 meters or 75 feet and 26 meters or 85 feet in length
with a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour which translates to about 37 miles per hour
in this rather odd deployment layout The Walker unloaded its Speeder Bike by kneeling three
meters above ground level until the boarding ramp could extend outward to transport the Walkers the
Galactic Empire used the Y-85 Titan Dropship which could accommodate up to four Imperial Walkers
these monstrous behemoths are shielded with heavy armor cladding rendering them impervious to all
but the most powerful turbo laser weaponry the Walker's armor deflects or absorbs Blaster Bolts
from ordinary turrets and cannons with ease the all-terrain Mega caliber 6 or AT-M6 brings
devastating Firepower the state-of-the-art armor forged in secret facilities in the unknown regions
it is a menacing symbol of an emboldened first order finally Unleashed to wreak havoc on the
Galaxy that rejected its Imperial predecessors intended to make Siege Warfare simple and
short the M6 is powerful enough to punch through Shields rated to deflect bombardment from orbit
the atm-6 was made of ultra-dense matrix's composite armor and was manufactured by the
Kuat Drive yard the same company that created the original Imperial Walker
the first order researcher solved the challenge of how to incorporate the mega caliber 6 cannon
into a walker frame by reinforcing the forward leg armor and adding a larger foot pad similar to the
AT-AT design Ed next to the mega caliber 6 Cannon is The Recoil shock absorber with the heat exhaust
several massive fuel cell canisters are Exposed on the back while the m6 legs were equipped with
a shock absorber a device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses the legs were modified
to Bear increased weight and to provide the stability needed to brace the craft against
the Canon's massive recall the AT-M6 is fundamentally a platform for the Mega
caliber 6 Turbo laser cannon which dominates the Walker's massive fuselage with two heavy
Firelink dual laser cannons and two medium anti-ship laser cannons mounted on the head
inside the head of the AT-M6 side the target computer Target sensor two Gunners and one
vehicle Commander bringing the destructive power of a battleship for ground engagements
requires a dedicated power plant for the turbo laser and a fusion reactor to power the m6
the legs were modified to Bear increased weight and to provide the stability needed to brace
the craft against the Canon's massive recall the vehicle's knuckle-walking
Locomotion has another Advantage it gives the Walker the aspect of a giant Simeon
Predator making an already intimidating weapon even more fearsome to enemy eyes
the hydraulic piston and the terrain sensor's computer on the leg and feet give precise
information about the terrain and allowed the Walker to move the field more efficiently
The Walker is about 41 meters or 134 feet in length and is about 36 meters or 118 feet in
height and can move at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour similar to the Imperial Walker
in the Years following the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the destruction of its
industrial capabilities by the new Republic the AT-M6 was the first-order successor to
the original Imperial Walker in my opinion the walkers have a visually impressive and
intimidating presence on screen but they are not practical for use in battle both the AT-AT and AT-M6
six behind and have a high center of gravity making
them susceptible to being tipped over the most vulnerable part of the Walker was its flexible
neck which was open to lighter blaster barrages if punctured it can lead to a reactor breach
additionally deploying troops and vehicles from these platforms is overly complicated and leaves
them vulnerable to enemy fire during deployment and based on the cross-section drawing none of
these walkers have any restrooms or Refreshers for the troop to use these design flaws made the
Walkers impractical and gives you the idea that these were designed for fear and intimidation
and not really for war the AT-TE is the overall best-designed Walker in the Star Wars universe
specifically in comparison to the AT-AT and M6 the AT-TE is harder to hit more stable and possesses
greater all-around weapons coverage so what are your thoughts on the Walkers and which one is your
favorite let me know in the comments section below thanks for watching and I see you guys next time.
