Grappling Hook
Look I hate to do this again, but is the grappling hook on the gunschip canon? It's from Machines of War Themelle444 09:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. It's not in the ICS, but it might not be on all ships. They customized some LAATs. -LtNOWIS 09:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's just a commercial too show the grapple hook in the toy of the gunschip, remember it's from Toys "R" Us exclusive comic.
 * That didn't stop the "fight mode" Delta-7 from becoming canon, though. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So it may be added? Themelle444 12:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It will be added. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 13:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have the answer there is a hatch in the same location that drops explosives (see ""BOMBS AWAY!!!"" section below, first post). We could just say that the compartment is modular and can house one of the two systems, debate resolved.Wilhelm screamer 21:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Speeder Bikes
Are the speeder bikes in the gunship actuly 74-Zs? In ATOTC ICS it seems to show a bike with two blasters pointing out of the top of the bike near the steering.
 * They certainly don't look like 74-Zs. They also have two turbines: one on each side. Perhaps a new model?Commodore Axilon 00:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Upon further review of the article. Nowhere does it say anything about 74-Zs. It's still curious though. Has that particular speeder bike been seen anywhere else?Commodore Axilon 00:13, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? I have the book, and the speeders in there are definitely 74-Zs. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 02:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Um, no. Look at that and then look at the bikes in the AOTC:ICS. They're most definitely not the same bike. Commodore Axilon 17:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Then either one of us is seeing things, or there are two types of the book. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 19:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks almost identical, but as originally pointed out, there are two additional blasters above the steering vanes - Kwenn 19:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably a modified version for the military. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 19:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

ARC Gunship
This may sound ignorant but do arc gunships have a hyperdrive? Because Hypori and munilist cant be acessed via sublight travel.--PyRo 14:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt it as the gunships aren't airtight--they can only go as high as the upper atmosphere. I think we can just assume it to be a goof in the cartoon. Unit 8311 15:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If gunships aren't airtight, then how can they deploy from outer space, as seem in the Clone Wars cartoons? Not to mention a shot of a LAAT/i in orbit of courscant in the article? Riddick 15:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

No no they drop! They are droped from outer space and the pilots free fall! Crazy aint it? The pilots fall for a few minuts then they star to go. And no they do not have the hyper drive. The LAAT was a troop transport and mostly used huge assult ships to go from one planet to the next. Now they are able to fly in space dont get that wrong, As shown in battle front 2 the doors close and the clones suits are sealed.--Crash 02:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC) Yes they fly into atmospheare but at the begining the pilots drop the ships from the hangar. Or free fall as it is called. They turn on then fly into atmospheare and continue on from there. Have you played republic comando? It is shown there as the squad leader Boss heads for geanosis.--Crash 20:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No, they don't drop, and the pilots don't free fall. They fly into the atmosphere. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 14:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Have you ever watched the Clone Wars cartoon? The fly out of the ship into the atmosphere. It's not a free fall. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Do you know what free fall is? Is not a drop till you stop. The Pilots detach. Im am not dissagreing with you at all. Im just saying that is most of time I think thats what they do! You may be right though =)--Crash 00:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Ok then I guess Im wrong. I thought that they detaced from the hangar area. That is what i have read and scean in republic comando but I guess not. They are airtight. I dont quite understand what your saying? Battlefront 2 The LAAT Goes in space remeber?
 * "Most of [the] time"? Do you have a source to back that up? Regardless, we know that the gunships can fly out from a ship, into space, and into a planet's atmosphere. If you mean to say that free fall is coming out of a ship into space, let me tell you that you're wrong. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt it as the gunships aren't airtight. If that's so, than what's with the picture of the gunship in orbit over Coruscant. Not trying to be a PITA, but that makes it seem like they're most definitely airtight to some extent or another. Not to mention the Republic Commando game. --LtCol. JuiceStain 17:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Just as an FYI to those stating the LAAT's do a freefall in space. You can't freefall in space. - JMAS 22:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I was saying they're airtight. I was just restating what 8311 said up top so that people would know what I was referring to. Sorry for the misunderstanding; should've been more specific. As for not being able to free fall in space, I agree 100%. There's no gravity, there's no falling, and therefore no possible way to "Free fall". --LtCol. JuiceStain 23:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok ok You guys are right! I ment you get close so that gravity was in affect! But mabey only i do that ha ha ! But you do understand the concept right?--Crash 23:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I do understand the concept. You mean it's kind of like an orbital drop, right? If that's not it, then maybe you could explain more.--LtCol. JuiceStain 00:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

No thats bascily sums it up. Thats what I would if i got the planets gravity on my side. The benifits of it is the enamy dosent expect it So you catch them off gaurd as soon as they try to tail you you fire up again and take off in mid flight but oter wise you are right.--Crash 02:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, yeah, that does make sense. You make a pretty valid point. I can imagine the look on some Sep general's face when he sees a swarm of gunships dropping from the upper atmosphere. Talk about humbling. --LtCol. JuiceStain 16:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * the LAAT is a repulserlift aircraft so according to my knowledge which may or not be correct(But most likely is correct) is that they are pushed up from the ground and since in space there is nothing under it. it has to drop. Sergeant Havoc 21:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It has engines that allow it to fly. It doesn't drop. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * But the question is, can a LAAT/i operate in outer space as a independant sublight spacecraft [Think Lambda shuttle or Skipray blastboat] or are they only designed for limited hard vaccum Zero-Gee operations (I.E. descending into the planet's atmosphere from orbit] ?? Riddick 00:15, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I take it you haven't played Battlefront II. Yes, the LAAT/i can operate independently in space. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

However I find it repusing that the LAAT Is the Rebles Transprt Ship in Battlefront! They did not have that kind of drop ship. The makers sould have used another ship for the rebles insted of the gun ship do you not agree?--Crash 15:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no problems with it, but in any case, there's nothing anyone can do about it. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 19:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Top of the infobox
Anyone know why that link at the top of the infobox is there? It's clear what the reference is, but why it is where it is seems odd because it isn't attached to anything in particular. - JMAS 20:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not the only article here that has it. Also, I've observed it on Wikipedia as well. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Price
I have a question purely hypothetical of course, but what do you think the price range is for one of these things. 216.26.216.168 14:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Anything regarding price at this point is pure fanon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 20:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you jSarek and Grand Admiral J. Nebulax for answering my questions, since some of of my questions concerning the price of of some of the vehicles have no canon answers, maybe some of you can speculate about the prices or provide your own personal answers, and would anyone happen to know the prices of the | WESTAR-34 and the | WESTAR-M5, and maybe someone can answer my question about CC-1004 Gree's visor colour. I'm going to put this on a few other talk pages in case this is not seen on this one. 216.211.51.199 02:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey guys. Lets just put the fact that the Gunships have been used against the Jedis and it Phased out after the Episode III.(Assaulthead 22:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC))

"Bombs Away!!!"
In clone wars chapter 20 (as the LAAT/i squadron starts shooting the B1s, you have to observe the ships closely) and chapter 21 (as the gunship pulls up to the crashed frigate) the vehicle has a small compartment that opens up to drop cylindrical explosives that can either detonate upon contact with the ground(shown in chapter 20) or can be remotely detonated(shown in chapter 21). I will soon add this to the article; if any one objects speak now.Wilhelm screamer 02:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe this device you speak of is the droid buster mentioned in "Rise of Darth Vader."
 * Please sign your comments, and would you mind further elaborating on this "droid buster" that you speak of.Wilhelm screamer 20:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not the user that responded earlier, but i will provide an answer: its a type of EMP weapon. But instead of me explaining it, go to this page.--LtCol. JuiceStain 00:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you; but the cylindrical explosives featured in the clone wars show was an explosive with shrapnel, not an EMP weapon.Wilhelm screamer 02:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems that it's a specific weapon used only on the ARC trooper LAAT/i gunship. Admiral Derek 15:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, in chapter 20, regular lartys drop the bombs too; when a squadron of them starts shooting the B1s, you have to observe the ships closelyWilhelm screamer 02:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

picture
I have I high quality picture of the LAAT/i from the Incredible Cross Sections book. I tried to upload it, but I think I screwed up the page instead. Can somebody tell me how to fix the page and then how to upload the picture? Thanks
