Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) blasted its way into battle for the first time at the Battle of Geonosis, and proceeded to unleash its aggressive power all through the Clone Wars. This armored assault vehicle moves with unyielding intimidation toward enemy fortifications, plowing through energy shields and firing its six laser cannons and heavy projectile cannon all the way. Its interior can hold a squad of clone troopers that can be quickly deployed for ground combat. March your Clone Trooper army (one figure included; others sold separately) into one of your staged battles aboard this impressive AT-TE vehicle. Pose the articulated legs as if it’s “marching” into battle and activate the electronic walking sounds. Take aim at enemy troops with the built-in blaster rifle and pistol racks and a total of six firing “laser” turrets. A firing main cannon features blasting sounds and lights when triggered. Adjust one of the multi-rotational front cannons and they all move together. Deploy your troopers into battle through the auto-deploy hatch and hear authentic Clone Wars trooper phrases, like “All units fire at will.” “Approaching droid perimeter. We are undetected.” and “The droid army is in full retreat.” Make your mark on the galaxy and roll out some Star Wars excitement with this action-packed vehicle. Includes unassembled vehicle, 6 “laser” barrels, 1 cannon projectile, clone trooper figure, blaster, 8 wheels, label sheet and instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Vehicle!!! Try the pencil trick to fix the legs!, September 21, 2008

By	A. Clark - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

The quick detach legs can easily be fixed with just 1 standard pencil. Take a pencil and cut 12 pieces of it the same length as the eraser. I used a hack saw to cut the pencil. Put one of the cut pieces into each shoulder and elbo joint on the legs. You put the pencil piece right in the middle of the 4-prong claw connector. Snap the leg parts back together. They will be fairly hard to insert. They're not fully seated until you hear the "snap" of the 4-prong connector seating into the snap groove. That's it. You just saved your $100 toy and your child's dreams with a 5 cent pencil and 10 minutes of work.

My kids love this AT-TE. They load it up with troopers and battle the CIS with their AT-AP and my vintage 1980's AT-AT and AT-ST (which, if you remember, also didn't work so well out of the box). Now that your AT-TE is "fixed", they can rough house with it all they want. They can move the legs without them coming off. If you insert the supplied wheels into the vehicle's feet, the AT-TE will roll nicely on hard floors and rugs.

If your main gun turret keeps popping off, try cutting that pencil eraser in half and shove one peice under the two-prongs that hold it on. By the way, the ON/OFF switch is on the vehicle body right under the turret's seat (just in case you're still looking for it). Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars AT-TE Tank a COMPLETE rip off!, August 19, 2008

By	T. Smith (Lakewood, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I wish there was a way to give this toy LESS than one star. I'd give it a negative 100 star rating if I could, it is that horrible. Be warned now, save your hundred dollars to buy something that is actually WORTH the money and save yourself frustration, anger, and disappointment.

My son turned 10 years old on Sunday. He's been saving his hard earned allowance for a very long time (he gets only $[...] a month so I'm talking a looooooong time). He is a huge fan of Star Wars goodies and has collected a good number of items other than this one over the years. Imagine our extreme disappointment and sadness (especially his) when we finally took his saved allowance and birthday money to go out and buy this toy only to get it home and have it fall apart immediately! And I don't mean a little bit either, it's a hunk of junk!!!!

Hasbro should be ASHAMED to have marketed such a toy that obviously never went through any sort of quality testing what so ever. The hatch doors on this toy fly open at the slightest amount of play. And you want to hear the real kicker??? The legs of this toy that are supposed to make it the "walker" that it is CAN'T EVEN PROPERLY SUPPORT THE BODY WEIGHT OF THE TANK PART ITSELF. Yes, the legs fly off left and right and every which way at the lightest amount of pressure, sometimes with no pressure at all (this morning I walked past it and the middle leg fell right off).

Yes, we assembled it correctly. Yes, we reassembled it 18 different ways just to make sure. I looked online for any tips or tricks to make this total waste of $[...]+ more usable for my son. I came up with nothing.

Now I am faced with the decision of gluing the legs on permanently (not what I want to do, but my son realllly, really wants to play with this god-awful item) or drive it all the way back to the toy store (an hours drive in both directions = a entire evening after work shot needlessly) to get a refund that I hope above all else that they will give to us after they see this piece of junk toy.

Am I angry and upset? You bet I am. I even wrote a letter of complaint to Hasbro's online customer service department after messing with it trying to get it to stay together. I gave up after 2 hours and 40 minutes of trying. Did I hear a word back from Hasbro about my complaint? Anything at all? A useful tip? I type of glue to try (as if I should even have to resort to glue at all)? An apology to a very disappointed little boy??????

Nope. Nada. Nothing at all. Not even an acknowledgment of the complaint. And why should they care? After all they happily have my son's hard earned hundred bucks in their pockets. Why care about customer satisfaction and consumer relations now?

Do yourself a huge favor and skip this purchase. Spread the word: It's not even stable enough to sit on a collector's shelf. A slight breeze might knock the whole thing over! Legs and all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice features but fatally flawed - stay away, August 22, 2008

By	L. Feinstein "lloydo" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this toy for my 6 year old son, who had wanted it desperately and was so excited to get it - but he has played with the packing materials more than the toy itself.

It has many nice features such as lights and sound, firing missiles and automatically opening hatches but all of that means nothing when the legs fall off at, literally, the slightest touch and the entire toy comes crashing to the ground.

What does it matter that it can hold 20 troopers when the whole toy falls apart when the child tries to put the first one in the seats?

Additionally, Hasbro does nothing but antagonize customers willing to spend $99 toy for a kid's by offering not only shoddy design/build quality but giving you ZERO extra bullets. I don't know about your kids - but spring-loaded missiles that shoot across rooms get lost almost immediately. For $100 they can't afford to give you ANY extras?

If your profit margin is that razor thin, Hasbro, hang it up. I am certainly not purchasing any other Hasbro items that cost over $10-$15. That is how much this toy is an affront to my sensibilities as a parent and a consumer.
