I've been studying up on war machines since I got my first war book when I was seven and since then I've always appreciated a balance of quality and quantiy for the perfect armroed vehicle. I've always hated those gayass Manga Robots because they make no sense. You could take the same armor and weapons and put them on a battalion of tanks. More weapons, more desctruction.
However there is one super weapon that I've always respected and that was the Imperial AT-AT. Looking at it in a modern angle, it's the perfect land vehicle for any military: a troop transport combined with a main battle tank.
Sporting a command cabin with a large fire radius and it's height always for it to have increased range so it can hit far away ground targets and targets hiding up in the mountains. It also has another advantage: a weapon of fear. Something that big can only say one theing: get the fuck out of my way. It's a weapon that currently is out of reach, but with our development in technology it could be a reality in the near future as engineering continues to bring the fictictous to a reality. We once said that flight and putting a man on the moon was impossible, but it happened. Who knows what weapons we'll see. Hopefully ones that do the same as the AT-AT and scare the shit out of the insurgents (terrorists, I'm talking to you).

has to be my favorite movie battel scene of all time besides the opening battle in the movie "Patton"
