All Terrain Open Transport/Legends

The All Terrain Open Transport (AT-OT) was a walking troop carrier used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.

As an armored vehicle, the AT-OT differed from the other walkers in Kuat Drive Yards' AT-series, as it was not designed for combat. Instead, it was used to replenish armies behind friendly lines.

Even though these eight-legged walkers were well armored and equipped with 4 laser cannons for self defense, their open tops made them vulnerable to attacks from above. AT-OT walkers had enough seats for at least 34 troops, but they could carry more troops if required, thanks to the open-bed design.

Trivia


Although it is easy to assume the AT-OT being a predecessor of the AT-AT, the two designs were actually contemporaries, both hailing from the Clone Wars-era.

In addition, a similar open-top cargo walker, derived from the AT-TE design, served the Empire years into the Galactic Civil War.
