Play this at the same time...it makes it even scarier.

Kill it with fire.

Lots and lots of it. They say that it will only run at 4MPH, but I saw it doing that scary leap thing and it's a DARPA funded joint, so I reckon it'll go faster and include the capability to mount all applicable NATO weaponry...300+lbs of it.

It's pretty awesome. I want one.

Found the Beta testing tape........

"Kill it with fire!"

George, you need to put a weapons grade nasal beverage spray alert on comments of that nature. I'll be cackling about that for a week. I think it would make an excellent motto for the Forum.

HAHAHA NICE!

Oh man...wooooo...it's even funnier if you play the Terminator theme with it....wooooooo...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D

I remember seeing those things in the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer... I didn't think they were real.

Sweet Jesus.

When they develop the AT-ST finally, I want anti-Ewok shielding.

It's not so much the Ewoks, it's the frakking trees they throw at you. About two minutes in, prime example.

I still wouldn't mind Claymore plates loaded with ball bearings launched at transsonic speeds.

I would rather install multiple automatic shotguns set for fanfire spreads.

And don't forget the napalm sprayer for when they get past the incline limits on the turrets. Little furry banzai bastards could possibly get inside the targeting perimeter and would need to be removed from the hull. Most effective way I can think of(other than electrifying the hull) would be a multi-directional napalm dispenser. When in doubt, "Kill it with Fire".

Um...are we discussing how to beat the Ewoks with an AT-ST? Man I love this forum lol.

If we are I think the swiftest way to destroy the Ewoks would have been orbital bombardment. Here's a video to illustrate the effectiveness of said strategy. Had this tactic been deployed...well you'll see....

Of course barring this I think a more liberal use of the main guns of the AT-ST would have ended in victory. If you turn the forest into a feild there would have been nowhere for the little beasties to hid.

The nice thing about the Death Star blasting Yavin - Fuel-Air Explosion in space.

If the Death Star could blow apart a planet, it could have turned Yavin (a gas giant) into a small sun. Basically, everyone on the forest moon would have been barbecue.
