STAR WARS COLLECTOR SERIES 12” TESB AT-AT DRIVER (KENNER / HASBRO 1997)
Due to special conditions such as gravity fluctuation or unusual planetary magnetic fields; the Empire needed a vehicle which could be used on all terrains.
Designers resorted to ancient technology and applied it to a large scale for combat vehicles. The finished AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) walkers surpassed Imperial expectations, virtually unstoppable as weapons platforms.
Acting as transports for Imperial ground troops and light vehicles, these
beastly machines were used to crush and demoralize enemy forces thereby forming the core of many Imperial ground assaults.
Driving an Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport requires great skill which can only be acquired through rigorous training and practice.
"Ground pilots" train in teams of two, learning to operate
the behemoths in conjunction with a combat coordinator. While one pilot drives the monstrous machine, the second pilot assists as a navigator and gunner.
General Veers, when assembling his legion of "Hunters," chose only the best-trained and best-equipped troops in the Imperial Army. During their training, the teams live and work in their walker over much of each mission.
The trainees even get involved with
the maintenance of the AT-AT walker.
The command crew works in the compact, crowded cockpit
which is located in the "head" of the machine.
The weapons are
also located in this section, as well as holographic targeting systems which allow the gunner and driver a 360° view of their position. The crew is trained to use the walkers for blatant "shock" attacks, landing at great distances but in plain sight of the enemy.
It was this machine monster and its group of flawlessly trained
crews that carried out the devastating assault on Hoth.
Authentically styled straight from The Empire Strikes Back, the
AT-AT driver features his highly detailed, adverse weather protection suit complete with helmet, chest respirator, boots, comlink and Imperial blaster. This special edition 12" figure, available for the first time ever, is destined to become a classic.
