I managed to track down some AT-TEs at my local TRU. I originally intended to custom paint a Republic Turbo Tank as a Cobra vehicle, but now am considering switching to the AT-TE instead.
Apparently both hold 20 figures, so I'm not sacrificing any troop carrying capability. I like the main gun of the AT-TE, but hate that it's a walker. However my bro brings up a point in that walkers are what an army would need to traverse mountainous terrain. Turbo Tank looks like the Joe MMC or PIT w/ more wheels, but is kinda lacking in imposing armament. What do you guys think? |

The Turbo Tank, without a doubt.
No army in the world has a walker, but it might fit as Cobra advanced tech, but I'd still go with the Turbo Tank.

You make some good points about the armament, but I have a hard time believing that the AT-TE would be able to go up any terrain that something with wheels or treads would not. Personally, I like the Turbo Tank. Maybe you could customize it with some different weapons.

I'd say the Turbo Tank, cause nothing in th real world has legs instead of wheels. But the Turbo Tank would look cool with the AT-TE's mounted gun turret.

Hmm...maybe I can try putting either the Weather Dominator or the Mass Device beam cannon on top of the Turbo Tank.

In the real world, a walker like the AT-TE wouldn't work.
There needs to be a way for the legs to be at different elevations (heights) and different slopes and still allow the carrier part to be level.

Ye, a walker with the Joes in it, just dont look right. The Turbo Tank is the right way to go.

If not for the legs I would have voted for the AT-TE. The Turbo Tank wins for it's mobility.
