Imperial Walkers

Most of these were first posted in October 2001. I was greatly enjoying the new Star Wars strategy game, Galactic Battlegrounds. It was basically like a dream game for me, since Age of Empires II was already my favorite strategy game of all time (and remains so to this day), and Galactic Battlegrounds (GBG) is basically just a Star Wars re-skin of AOE2. Since I nearly always play as the Galactic Empire, and since I always pick red as my color, here are my LEGO Imperial Walkers, red-highlighted GBG style...

Light AT-PT

When you first build your Mech Factory building, the cheapest mech you can make is the Strike Mech, which is a "Light AT-PT" for the Imperials. The Light AT-PT is the smallest walker in all of Star Wars... although, to be fair, it was never in Star Wars until GBG made it up. I love the way the LEGO turned out; so small and simple. I actually made instructions for this model a while back, but they're gone now. It's easy enough to figure out anyway.

AT-PT

Upon upgrading your Strike Mech at the Mech Factory, your Light AT-PTs turn into regular AT-PTs. The AT-PT (All Terrain Personal Transport) is a bit more recognizable to veteran Star Wars fans. I built it a few months prior to the release of GBG, and it was already a part of EU before that (in various books and in games such as Rogue Squadron). Supposedly it was a civilian walker that the Empire converted for military use. Lightly armored and armed with only a pair of blaster cannons, it's useless against any enemy except infantry... even in Galactic Battlegrounds. Here is the red GBG version...

Light AT-ST

The Mech Destroyer unit for the Galactic Empire is the Light AT-ST, shown above. It's a very peculiar design, since it actually looks almost a bit larger than the standard AT-ST. My LEGO version is, as you can see, an extremely simplistic piece of junk.

AT-ST

Upon upgrading to Heavy Mech Destroyer, you get the standard AT-ST (All-Terrain Scout Transport) made famous by its large role in Return of the Jedi. This unit is the best walker in the entire game for mech skirmishes, and it can take down any enemy mech unit with ease.
