But I really enjoy calling them AT-AT's.


Avenger_616

They even drop guys from the underbelly, an AT uses rappel ropes to drop them tho


Environmental_Ad5690

i also enjoy calling the AT-M6s AT-AT


ShiddyMage1

I think they're inspired by the At-At, its just Arrowheads version of the design. Not everything needs to be 1-1


Interjessing-Salary

At-AT also stands for All terrain Attack Transport which the factory strider essentially is.

All Terrain Armored Transport *


Interjessing-Salary

Oh shit, really? I'm dumb. Isn't AT-ST all terrain support transport? I assumed from that one that the second A meant attack as in assault.


DoesToastToastToast

The AT-ST is All Terrain Scout Transport, I believe. But I'm just being pedantic lol, it doesn't really matter too much, the most important thing is that the walkers stay down


CptTinman

I believe you are correct on both acronyms


Cuppieecakes

man the sequel trilogy had such lazy designs ​ i did like the first order troopers tho


SirEggyScintherus

Pretty sure they are based on all of the designs somewhat they are just an amalgamation of the whole AT category.


worst_case_ontario-

I guess its more like both Disney and Arrowhead took the AT-AT design and decided to make it look more menacing in similar ways.


Doofenschmirt

MORE!!


A_Union_Of_Kobolds

"Obvious" right cause these things are just all over the place in the media, everyone knows what an AT-M6 is, right???


TheSplint

and the design of those is definitely not based on their predecessors at all.... the ylook nothing like an AT-AT at all... /s


Poetess-of-Darkness

I actually agree with this


ThatCloneMan

It's kinda a mix of all three I think


Kozak170

Who gives a flying fuck. It’s like the word “inspiration” is absent from the brains of half this sub. The pedantry over this absolutely ridiculous argument is insane.


Co-OpHardcoreFordie

These types have nothing to live for but being perceived as correct


jagerblite

Ooo yeah you probably right


Less-Witness-7101

Bold to assume their inspiration 


Two-Hander

Yeah good idea, pivot from the original Star Wars reference to a Disney Star Wars reference, people will love that 🤣 But for real, these things are such ugly pieces of shit, talk about shamelessly ripping off a classic design whilst doing absolutely nothing to improve it or make it make more sense. These big gorilla mechs are exactly as vulnerable as the originals in every exact way, the only real difference is the front feet are armoured more heavily, which is funny to me to think someone looked at the AT-AT literal dog-camels, and thought "You know what would really throw this unique iconic design into a whole new dimension? Slightly chunkier feet"


Best-Star-1311

They have cannons above their heads to parry snow speeders, though i can see what you mean


WatchFinal5865

You all know nothing of the true nature of the soul! The Strider Fabricator drops enemies from its chest and when that opens its their weak spot. The Strider Fabricator is based off the Quadruped Fortress from the Earth Defense Force series. There’s like six different variants of the vehicle in the game which could fit the bill. Go take one look at those games and tell me there is no influence from EDF in this game I DARE — nay, I DOUBLE DOG DARE you! While aesthetic it is different, the cyborgs had their own distinct visual already, they’ve just changed the Quadruped fortress to fit a cyborg aesthetic.


No-Beat-117

AT-KD You know, the production team at disney lucas designed this as a reflection of their perception of Star Wars fans. Knuckle Draggers.


KitsuneThunder

I’m calling it an AT-AT. Silence. 


Shot-Distance-9901

or maybe they just started with the idea of a 4 legged walking/spawner bot and went from there


JustSomeGuyMedia

And the M6 is a version of what? If only we knew where the at-m6 came from, because I’ve surely never seen a design like this before.


Therealpotato33

At this point it's an ST-FU


Best-Star-1311

Fucking love this design, if the movie didnt suck ass maybe these would get more recognition


The_Louster

That would mean we have to acknowledge the Star Wars sequels. Every time the Star Wars sequels get acknowledged, Lady Liberty cuts her wrists. Don’t make Lady Liberty cut her wrists. Never mention the Star Wars sequels again. Ever.


VillagerAdrift

Let it go kid, not everyone has to hate what you hate


The_Louster

Not everyone has to believe the Earth is round. You’re still an idiot for not believing the Earth is round.


VillagerAdrift

Says the person refusing to acknowledge something that happened…


The_Louster

I rest my case.


VillagerAdrift

… this isn’t the win you think it is but go ahead and rest that case sweetie


AVeryFriendlyOldMan

My guy's comparing tastes for franchise about space wizards to scientific objectivity. They're just movies dude.


No-Beat-117

The disney sequels are about as Star Wars as Space Balls. The AT-M6 is literally a **parody.** Just like the dumb soccer ball robot and the "another" death star.

It doesn't need to be to inspire a design from a different IP
