All Terrain Heavy Enforcer/Legends

The All Terrain Heavy Enforcer (AT-HE) was a military walker used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. It was made to complement the AT-TE.

Characteristics
The AT-HE was designed to have a more upright stance, similar to the contemporary model AT-AT, thus getting a height advantage over the AT-TE.

Since the AT-HE had legs, it had less surface area to distribute its weight and could get stuck more easily than wheeled or tracked vehicles. This was noted as an advantage the Juggernaut tanks had over comparable walkers, like the AT-HE and AT-TE.

Behind the scenes



 * In concept art drawn for Revenge of the Sith, several walkers similar to the AT-TE are shown, with taller legs and heavier weaponry. Because of the added height advantage, there is some speculation that these illustrations portray the AT-HE. The heavier guns on the walker might compare with those of the AT-AT.


 * The walkers pictured carry heavy firepower, including four heavy laser cannons&mdash;one on top, one on each side, and one underneath. This would make the design a walker of non-trivial size, and close in terms of general firepower and capacity to the AT-AP and the UT-AT. In fact, the UT-AT design ultimately borrowed some elements of this concept art, taking its long, flanking cannons. The AT-AP walker would get the anti-personnel gun slung underneath the unused design. In the comic version of RotS, the AT-TE that kills Barriss Offee has long, thin legs.


 * A good argument against the unfilmed walkers being AT-HEs is that they are only in the medium mass range, similar to the AT-TE, and much less than a heavy walker like the AT-AT. This distinction would disqualify them from having a heavy moniker.
