"Expanded Universe-material shows AT-TE transports to be a part of Imperial ground forces, twenty years after the Clone Wars." -- can we get a source? --SparqMan 22:26, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know the precise issue, but they were seen in Star Wars: Empire on the homeworld of the Amanin. JSarek 22:31, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I have to add that the Official Site seems to have added the AT-TE´s affiliation with the Empire last year (can´t remember that link being there before late summer 2004), so that´s been part of continuity for some time. The walker seen on the Amanin homeworld probably doesn´t qualify, since it was modified to be a transport walker. In fact, if a proper name is given to the transport walker in ROTS and its article is written, I´ll make sure to mention this vehicle, which seems to use a AT-TE chassis for the same purpose as that other walker.

 * Empire: 16 to 18, and though the walker featured in the issues appears to be built on the same frame as the AT-TE, it is stripped of most of its heavy weapons, and serves and a C&C vehicle. Also featured in the issues are Juggernauts.--Eion 16:00, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, it definitly serves a different purpose, but they still refer to it as an AT-TE. If anything we could make a subsection on that variant. VT-16 11:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don´t cramp the article
Please do not do that again. I don´t care if the code looks strange with big holes inbetween paragraphs, the article looked better for it. Changing it back. VT-16 12:47, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

EDIT: Fixed the image problem. VT-16 12:58, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Misprint or forgotten info?
In my copy of the Complete Locations of Star Wars there's an interesting bit of trivia in the Index-section. Under the AT-TE it says page 142-143 in addition to the pages where it can be found. Now, page 142 and 143 talk about the Battle of Hoth, and there's no mention of the AT-TE there. I sent an email to DK Publishing's complaint department in an effort to find out if this was a misprint or if someone forgot to add the corresponding info. Have any of you with the CLOSW book noticed if the same Index-error occurs? Or if any additional info on the Hoth battle has been written, because it's not in my copy. VT-16 17:58, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll go check right away. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:22, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)

AT-TE Size
I don't the exact information on the AT-TE height and length but i'm pretty sure its wrong on this page. First thing's first, there's no way that the AT-TE is shorter than the AT-AP(listed at 10.97m tall). Secondly, given the picture on this page of an AT-TE with stormtroopers and assuming that the average stormtrooper is a little under two meters tall, the AT-TE is at the least eight meters tall and fifteen meters long. Is the AT-TE's height and length listed in the New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels? If so, someone should point this out to the editors. =)
 * The AT-AP is supposed to be taller than the AT-TE, I believe. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The AT-AP is taller, but I do believe the AT-TE is bigger than noted. Can't remember what it says in Prequel Chronicles, but I found a poorly made photo showing different heights of the models from that book. VT-16 13:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the Fact File article on the AT-TE says 12.4 m long, so I'm pretty sure that's correct. As to the height, that's listed in the Databank as 5.02 m. I don't have the NEGVV, so I'm not sure about that, but I'll see if I can find somebody who can check for me. RMF 16:06, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll check. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Height: 5.02 meters. Length: 12.4 meters. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess that confirms it. Out of curiosity, where does the 5.32 m width currently in the article come from? RMF 23:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It could just be calculations made by applying the length and height to a 3D model. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:00, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

AT-TE speed
This article states that the AT-TE's average speed is 60 kilometers per hour. I'm not very good at metrics, but I think that translates to about 40 mph, which is a little faster than a really speedy horse. From the scenes that show the AT-TE in Episode II, move much slower. Also,the clones in the movie could outrun the walkers pretty easily. I don't know very much about this, so I'm probably wrong, but I'm feeling confused. Any help/explanation?

 * Maybe the AT-TEs didn't want to go so fast. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really make sense. They don't seem that fast to me. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Contribs Log) [[Image:NewRepublic.png|20px]] 19:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Just because we've never seen them going that fast doesn't mean they can't. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Data file) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Tanks can also roll quickly when need be, but in a combat situation and facing the enemy like in AOTC, keeping a distance would be more important than running head-on. They were protecting their heavy artillery. VT-16 21:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Turret gun
What says the top turret was a mass driver? At least some of them shot blue blaster/laser bolts, the one that shot down Boga and Obi-Wan clearly did. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Contribs Log) 19:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You see them arcing in mid-air, only projectiles would be affected by gravity like that, energy bolts go straight on. And the shells and their assembly inside an AT-TE were detailed in the AOTC:ICS. They most likely encase the shells in an energy field when firing, like the proton torpedoes in ANH and ROTJ, the proton grenades in ESB and the ST2 and HM-6 concussion missiles in ROTJ. It helps preserve the explosive inside the shell until after penetration of the target. You also see the same thing in ROTS, when the Providence internal gun batteries fire. They have giant mass-driver cannons being loaded from huge overhanging belts, and the shots come out like blue, glowing balls (which also arc in flight).
 * Also, for blasters and lasers, notice that their bolts are thin, almost like lines. Some have small periodical bulges, where there's a concentration of energy (the DS superlaser is like this). The projectiles that are incased in energy, however, always have a bulge up-front (because that's a shell or warhead) with energy trailing it. VT-16 21:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
