Star Wars AT-AT build options:
> Four wheels in front and four in rear.  Maybe six each end ?
> Four wheels in front and tracks in rear.
> Track set in front and in rear.
> One set of full length tracks.

Heavy Weapon version with rear replaced with something like a honking big crew served cannon - maybe something such as this:



But given a Scifi look and with Stormtroopers manning it.

it would have to squat or kneel to fire that, unless it was mounted underneath, then it could simply cock its leg :)

Looking at the details of an AT-AT, I think a large crew served gun as suggested would work well:



I wonder how detailed the kit will be?

Where are the bathrooms? Sure, they can go in their suits, or drop trou and go over the side (might explain the weathering) but it just doesn't seem very Imperial.

I am tempted to do something like this but to replace the 88m with a 128mm gun...or perhaps a SAM...

Perhaps as a TEL for a Wasserfall SAM?  It did have storable propellant.

Looking at the details of an AT-AT, I think a large crew served gun as suggested would work well:

Kenner employees mocked up an AT-AT-mounted ion cannon toy - dubbed the AT-IC - as part of a new line they pitched to Lucasfilm in the late 80s. It went nowhere (no production for the toy but the AT-IC did feature in some stories) but it's great whif fuel! I bet someone will do it once the kit is released.

Any idea what's different with this version of the T95 versus the older one? I know the original release was widely criticized for some dimensional errors, so maybe this is corrected.

It looks like the main gun is different, maybe it is out of World of Tanks?

That Snowspeeder and AT-ST look sweet.

Oh yeah, I just caught that! Since I'm not a WoT player and I wasn't aware of plans to fit other guns to the T28/T95, I wonder what gun this is supposed to be.

I'm still hoping for a T14 and T23E3 but this is still pretty cool.

I didn't think it was a real tank until I went looking on line, I found photos of the outside track assemble removed all in one.  How was power transferred to it when it was mounted to the tank though, the photos don't really show how it's done.

 I don't think the outer set of tracks were powered - I remember them being referred to as "dumb units".

From what I could find in the Hunnicutt book on heavy tanks this version appears to be a "paper panzer" with a proposed 155mm gun that was under development for use on a heavy tank.

Interesting, wasn't there a possibility of the inner track assembly getting "high-centered" if the outer track assemble rolled over something high enough to prevent the inner tracks getting traction ?

Thanks for the information, Jeffry! I'd wondered if maybe it was a 155mm but it's hard to gauge based on a photo of a scale model.

Glad to help.  I was curious too since the gun tube was too short and too thick to pass for the 105mm gun of the T28 it had me wondering too.  The muzzle brake is quite strange looking too. 





***Edit to correct spelling.  Thank you for bringing that error to my attention Jon.  :)
