The All Terrain Defense Pod (also known as the AT-DP) was a bipedal Imperial walker that appears in the Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels.
Description
The AT-DP was built for speed. Much larger than the AT-RT or the AT-ST, this imperial machine could reach speeds up to ninety kilometers per hour on flat terrain.
The chin mounted laser cannon was set in a ball turret for an increase ark of fire, and the walkers armored head served as the walker's cockpit command center. The cockpit had seating for a driver and a gunner, with the gunner stationed behind the driver.
History
The AT-DP was used to defend Imperial assets on an occupied world, including their installations. Several of these walkers were stationed at Capital City on the planet of Lothal.
Star Wars Rebels
In the episode "Droids in Distress", Two of these walkers were deployed from an Imperial Transport ship and engaged the Rebels Kanan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, Ezra Bridger, Garazeb Orrelios, Sabine Wren and C1-10P who were trying to sell Imperial shipments of T-7 Ion Disruptors to criminal boss Cikatro Vizago.
They opened fire on the rebels but one of them was quickly taken out by Kanan who used one of the disruptors causing the Walker completely short circuit after one hit. The last walker was destroyed when the Rebels set the disruptors to overload and expload under the walker's legs.
Behind the scenes
The design of the All Terrain Defense Pod was developed from an early illustration by concept artist Joe Johnston in 1979. The AT-DP is similar in appearance to the All Terrain Advance Raider , as both were developed from the same concept.
