" ( See Other sets containing AT - ATs ) " The model also includes a small Rebel turret , similar to the one included in the 1999 7130 Snowspeeder , and the 2004 4500 Rebel Snowspeeder . Some notable features include the ability to position the AT - AT ' s legs , opening cockpit , movable " head " , removable troop platform , and Rebel turret . This set adds to the growing number of LEGO Star Wars sets based on the snow planet of Hoth , and the battle that took place there , celebrating the 30th anniversary of Episode V . Description . This version of the iconic AT - AT Walker most notable includes the ability to position the walker ' s legs into any pose . This was the case with the original as well , but was not in the most recent previous model which used " Power Functions " to walk on its own . This set also includes the ability to open the cockpit and place an AT - AT Pilot behind the detailed controls . Contrary to the movie , however , the cockpit only has room for one pilot , whereas in Episode V , there was room enough for two pilots seated side - by - side and General Veers behind them . The head can be positioned as well as the legs , giving the ability to pose the walker as can be seen on the item ' s packaging . In the main body of the walker is a removable trooper platform . The two large side doors on either side open up , allowing for a small platform , with seating for the included Snowtrooper s and General Veers Minifigure s to sit , in addition to weapons storage and another computer . There are also four large laser cannons located around the " head " of the walker , in addition to the two on the sides having the ability to rotate . The small Rebel turret has the ability to aim the blaster up and down , and rotate around on the platform . On the back of the platform is a place for the Hoth Rebel Trooper to stand and control the turret . This turret is similar to the ones included in the 1999 set 7130 Snowspeeder and the 2004 set 4500 Rebel Snowspeeder . Of the eight minifigure s included in this set , three are exclusive , and two are rare . The redesigned Han Solo looks similar to the one found in 8097 Slave I , but also has his vest and Hoth gear on . The General Veers figure is also exclusive , featuring the same design as the Hoth Imperial Offier from 8084 , but with a new face . Also exclusive to this set , is the new Luke Skywalker Rebel Pilot . The new Luke features a new helmet print , with markings similar to the older version and that of Zev Senesca , in addition to the same torso as Zev as well . Luke also comes with his blue chrome - handled Lightsaber and a " whip ' " piece to hang from the underside of the walker as he did in the movie . Of the slightly rarer minifigure s included are the Hoth Rebel Trooper which except for the slightly redesigned face , exclusive to this set , was previously only available in the set 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack . The AT - AT Pilot features the same redesign as was found earlier this year in the set 8084 Snowtrooper Battle Pack . Also included are the newest of the C - 3PO colours and design , and two Snowtrooper s . The All Terrain Armoured Transport , or AT - AT walker , is a four - legged transport and combat vehicle used by the Imperial ground forces . Standing a towering 22 . 5 meters tall , these walkers are intimidating , and are used as much for psychological effect as they are for tactical effect . Background . An AT - AT has blast - impervious armour plating , and resembles a gigantic beast as it moves across the battlefield . An AT - AT ' s head carries the main armaments , a pair of light blasters located on the walker ' s " temples , " and heavier , twin laser cannons mounted on the walker ' s " chin . " The command crew pilots the AT - AT from the walker ' s head , which is connected to the main body by a flexible neck . The crew consists of a commander , a gunner , and a pilot . Additional crews and troops can be carried in the walker ' s main storage bay . Forged at the Kuat Drive Yards , the same production facility that crafted the Empire ' s prodigious Imperial Star Destroyer , the AT - AT walker is the perfect embodiment of Imperial philosophy . It favours fear over function , as the immense craft is more a weapon of terror than a completely efficient combat vessel . Although its complex leg mechanisms do require constant maintenance and repair , the rugged walker does live up to its all terrain name , being able to plod through most obstacles . Inside the AT - AT ' s armoured hull is enough space to carry five Imperial speeder bikes and up to 40 troops . The interior space can be reconfigured to carry two AT - ST walkers instead , though they require partial disassembly to fit inside . Though the Kuat Drive Yards are the primary production facility for Imperial walkers , foundries on Carida , Belderone and Anteevy are also key contributors to the Imperial armour . AT - ATs are often modified for mission specific environments . The so - called snow walkers used on Hoth featured added insulation . Dune walkers , conversely , are desert terrain walkers fitted with additional " Sienar z23 " heat dissipation units . There is also an aquatic cousin to the walker known as the AT - AT swimmer — an Aquatic Terrain Armoured Transport . - - which sports repulsorlift units instead of legs .
