The AT-AP is one of the greatest and specialized walkers ever made, for both the Republic and Empire, and yet is so misunderstood and under utilized. See what role it plays in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, comparing it to other Star Wars walkers like the AT-TE, AT-RT and AT-ST.

Basically the AT-AP is the Star Wars equivalent of a self propelled Tank Destroyers.
Basically a tank destroyer, self propelled artillery, and somewhat an infantry assault artillery all combined into one. It’s a smart design, and reminds me a lot of the Stug 3 from wwII
please its OBVIOUSLY an assault gun just ask master yoda!
Yes, but with the extra cool factor😂
Exactly what I was going to say.
@@maxtermind5110STUUUUUG
Another underrated walker utilized by the Rebel Alliance. Which gave the Empire a run for their money.
It was also used by the Hutts a lot too…
I always saw this as a sniper tank, able to fire from great distances as a support tank
Their is a word for that its called artillery
@@demonic_myst4503 nah snipers deal high damage to a single target
artillery does massive aoe damage.
@@taylorgarrett793 nope not all artillery is aoe at lo artillery means large caliber weapon
@@taylorgarrett793 most artillery isnt even bombardment only high exsplossive rounds are which even tanks can use a artillery is defined as a large caliber heavy weapon with longer range than infantry no such thing as a sniper tank its mobile artillery if it shoots long enough range
I had no idea this thing was so big or interesting. I always thought it was just half an AT-TE.
Same, I'm shocked to see that it's bigger and so huge.
These size metrics get weirder and weirder with every video
"Anything but the metric system"

Regarding the Felucia clip from episode 3. The AT-APs weren't at the rear of the column, as we can see the front of another AT-OP behind them at the very start of the camera pan. Given the order of the column I'd argue they were actually positioned in the dead center. AT-TE in front, followed by AT-OP, the pair of AT-APs, another AT-OP, and presumably an AT-TE bringing up the rear. Armored columns typically don't end with an infantry vehicle, instead you put a fighting vehicle on the ends. Having the AT-APs in the center means they can support the entire column if needed. They stand above the rest of the vehicles they can provide fire support against any frontal attacks, and if the rear is attacked, they can turn around and do the same.
Reminds me of a Tank Destroyer. Hard to use on the move, but very effective on the defence or when quickly set up in a convenient position like a hill. Pop those droid tanks with ease before they can mob the infantry.
I think they could have shown the walkers shooting from the top of a hill or maybe even on a platform in the giant Kayshyyk trees. That would have looked really cool in the movie.
i am sorry, but i am just laughing at the fact they mixed up the Abrams with the Leclerc
I saw that Leclerc and it hurt me, I know western tanks look similar but there's clear differences between them and also where do you find Leclerc footage labeled as Abrams?
@@thescotishclonetrooperecho7773 firstly you shouldn't exactly get hurt by it, not everyone's a tank enthusiast that can look at a vehicle and designate it almost immediately. secondly they didn't find Leclerc footage labeled as the Abrams, they just searched after "main battle tank driving" or "tank driving" or smth like that
Reading too deeply into it
@@Torgenator It still doesn't excuse given the Leclerc and Abrams have different specs.
So yeah whilst western tanks have general and similar layouts they often share little in common outside of maybe the gun and ammunition used.
MetaNerdz : *Says the AT-AP is close in speed to the M1 Abrams.*
At 0:56 *Shows footage of the Leclerc.*
I always love the rarer Republic walkers like the AT-AP and SPHA-T. Such cool looking tanks and artillery.
0:57 Leclerc not Abrams.
Glad you made a breakdown of this walker. Def didn’t get enough screen time and attention. Thx for another banger vid MetaNerdz!
Agreed and thanks glad u liked it!
One of the most underrated and underutilized Walkers in Star Wars, like the UT-AT and AT-OT I wish it got more screen-time or exposure
Never understood why the republic didn't use these a lot, it's basically a mobile artillery, able to function as anti-tank, artillery and anti-infantry, its pretty useful
I like how it's 6 Dexters tall, really puts into perspective how big dexter is.
0:57 - Ah yes - the famous french designed Abrams tank - or as the french called it - the Leclerc
I was about to write to say the same XD
Was looking for this comment after i saw it
Probably my favorite Republic walker and vehicle in general. Loved using them in Fall of the Republic
That was updated a few weeks ago. I must say I prefer the av7 but I definitely see where you are coming from. I lost a heavily fortified planet last week because some staps or something got behind my lines and wiped out my artillery
@@00yiggdrasill00 I fought about 20 battles for Mon Calamari since it was isolated and the CIS kept attacking. On that narrow bridge I had 2 or 3 AV-7's and 2 or 3 AT-AP's protected by infiantry etc, and they decimated everything the CIS could throw at me.
Thanks so much for showcasing my model! Glad to be a part of this video. @ 1:37
Outstanding work, and for anyone else who sees this comment the link is in the description and it was so cool to check out
Do you think you could consider doing the Gungan Bongo please?
If the rebels had a few of these at Hoth I could see the battle going very differently.
Not even lol.
Imagine sitting behind a hill with the walker crouched down (I know the atrt can do that so surely they didnt make new legs just for that walker) and then quickly standing it up and taking a shot at an armoured vehicle or 2 then crouching back down. That would be devestating.
7:44 the AT-AP is in the background of certain shots in Clone Wars. Most notably and kinda oddly when the Republic is leaving Naboo after the chancellor is almost assassinated.
I can't believe I missed this in ROTS. I wish it had been used more. Great video! I appreciate all the work you do to publish these overviews for us.
This walker always reminded me of the Jag-panther tank destroyer from WW2
Omg so true! It reminds me of the Stug 3
The random “I like corn” 😂
I would love to see a video on the Republic LAAT/i Gunship and its variants next time. The most iconic Republic attack vehicle next to the AT-TE.
ruclips.net/video/BbEsLRm2OhA/видео.html
I think he already did that video
@@nightwolfnordberg9476 But not in this current series.
@@FastTquick no i dont think so
Sure it's a good idea to promote Better Help? What about that big scandal a few years ago where it came to light that the "therapists" weren't really licensed and they weren't following confidentiality laws?
Loving the recent uploads. Always keeps me guessing on what's gonna get covered next
What always gets me is the cost of these things, like you could get this excellent artillery piece for 90k or get 45 b1s for the same price.
Man I miss star wars commander. Gone too soon. Have always wanted to see more the At-Ap.
It's been a good idea to include the toy versions of the topic at the end. I love my Lego! :)
These vehicles are awesome
One of my favorite Star Wars vehicles. I was always annoyed that this one never got featured in much Star Wars media outside the movies. They were always my favorite artillery piece to use in empire at war, too!
To be fairrrr its a lego set ☠️
I think above all else this thing would be perfect for convoy security.
Quite honestly one of my favourite walkers. I still own a miniature toy version that's been on my dad's windowsill since I was 4, and I still take some to play with it every so often. The fact it's like dedicated artillery on legs just makes it so lovable.
In your AV-7 Cannon video, what was the gameplay used during the intro?
I just love the way you do measurments in these videos lol
I've been waiting for this vid lets go!
Your measuring systems will never stop surprising the hell out of me.
Lucas: "For this new movie, let's make a whole lot of entirely new ships, tanks and animals."
Disney: "For this new movie, let's make one new ship and then copy-paste Lucas' stuff for the rest."
Had that og atap and that new one in 2019 for 20th anniversary was always my favourite design just never knew why it didn’t appear in clone wars not even for season 7 when it was closer to ep 3
Wow I never noticed the Venator on Kashyyyk!
Out of all the things I was expecting from this, I was not expecting the clip of the giraffe tripping LMAO
Another fantastic Clone Wars era walker
🤔 . . . I honestly don’t believe Yoda did that bad of a job. They remind me a bit about WW2’s Germany’s Hetzer, in that it had more than one main gun. I noticed that they were technically behind the infantry, but when the battle commenced, they too to their deployment positions & fired accordingly…
Since we are all nerds I'mma throw it here :
The clip of the real life tank and the top speed you mentionned (70km/h) with it are those of the French Main Battle Tank : the Leclerc.
The American Abrams you mentionned is much slower. It is in fact the Leclerc that is exceptionnaly fast for a tank 👌
Wow I just noticed those spider droids on felucia 😂 6:34
Idk why i always thought the AT-AP was basically an AT-TE cut in half. Didnt realize it was so tall.
To be fair to Yoda and the other jedi generals I don't really think that beach was wide enough and open enough to really have the AT-APs be used as artillery pieces as it was pretty congested with trench lines, defensive positions four A6 Juggernauts, wookies and the like in that particular instance it might have had more sense to use the AT-APs up front so that they actually could shoot their targets. As opposed to having their firing lines blocked by friendly vehicles and infantry.
One of my favourite Star Wars mechs. Wish we got to see more of it.
I love the random length and weight comparisons
I like how dexter is a unit of measurement Lol 😂
This walker is by far my favorite walker in Star Wars. I imagine how it would've been handled in the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Empire, the Resistance or the First Order.
Personally this is one of my top 3 fav walkers in sw its speed isn't half bad for its size it boasts a ton of firepower and has some pretty durable armror all together allowing it to work in a variety of different roles.
The AT-AP is the first LEGO Star Wars model I've ever had, and I think I even got it before I even knew what Star Wars was. Now it holds a special place in my heart for not only being a gorgeous model but also the first in a long line of ships and vehicles that I spent a lot of my teenage years obsessing about.
I love this walker
Make a complete life of the mandalorian!! Love the videos
1:45 you said heavy repeating laser cannon, but the thing say medium.
Will you do a video on the BD-3000s?
AT-AP top speed is a massive advantage for an artillery unit, it can move to a firing position lock its legs fire a few volleys of shells and be off out of harms way long before any retaliation is sent its way and because of its speed both in motion and in setting up it means a commander dosnt have to waste any manpower defending it something most artillery needs.
Considering they are a standard army the republic forces are really good at gorilla tactics with lots of units that perfectly fit the role of fast attack and harassing the enemy forces from unexpected angles but that’s probably more to do with the mandalorian training programs.
Very majestic
What game is showcased from the timestamp 1:25 to 3:06?
Love my Lego AT-AP
This was always one of my favorite republic vehicles and i always wanted the lego set of it
Every time I look at a Battletech 'mech and think, "fuck me, this thing's goofy," I peek over at Star Wars and immediately stop caring. But, hey- that's part of the charm.
I feel like the overpressure from firing over the top of those AT-OTs would NOT be fun for the troops in them.
The republic VA is working overtime on claims as is....mess up a single serial number and their calling troopers from different battalions
@@brockgundich”We’ve determined your injury is not service related.”
Kuat designers literally just straight up looked up at the Frog walker and said: Let's mount a massive gun on this thing
That Yoda bit at the end almost sounded like Clone Wars Yoda!
I recognize that editor engine, Men of War Assault Squad 2 Gem Editor
Can you do the imperial drop ship from the mandalorian? I can’t find any info on it.
some star wars weapons would be going through redesign if earth generals saw their travesty, this one, this one is fine, you walk up, you set up, you aim, you blast, paint it matching the surroundings and do something about the clinking glass noise when walking and there'd be no complaints.
Thank you for translating it into American units of measure, I’d never be able to visualize it unless I knew how much it weighed in corn
Ud be shocked how many car dealers and restaurants can't explain how much their products weigh in corn
how did you play that star wars game there ran in the background? at around 6:43
2:28 looks like I have something in common with this here tank. 😏
it's pretty funny that these things are basically just the front end of an AT-TE with a giant cannon instead of a cockpit.
You sound like you're trying to keep little ones asleep while reading and then sure enough, she needs her cup. Ha. Adorable!
New Mic? MetaNerdz ASMR.
lol no just finally figured out some audio processing stuff, I do think it sounds a lot better, and haven't heard anything bad, you're the first to mention it. But funny you say that, another thing I'm doing is something like that. I love reading all sorts of real world ancient stuff, it is all copyright free, and I don't have to research or add anything, just straight primary source reading. I'm doing that on a channel called Timeless, played with some AI voice stuff too but some are me. Since it hurts my throat to read for so long though, I tried just reading real low and it became a kind of whisper ASMR thing. Think I'll out rain sounds and stuff and it'll be real ancient texts read for meditating, NSDR or just to fall alseep. I know this is random lol, but I have the Mayan "Bible" the Popol Vuh coming next but it's looking like 6-7 hours long got a ways to go.
Would be great for the rebellion to get ahold of some of these and use them as tank destroyers , baiting out imperial walkers into a killing field with these along the tree line would give them a run for there money for sure
0:37 LMFAOOO 😭😭😭😭
it looks a Republic version of a juggernaut from command and conquer tiberium wars.
what was the clash of clans type game u played near the end
What is the game you are using for the footage?
1:39-1:49
I think you switched heavy and medium
Hey MetaNerdz Lore, Please tell us when will you Start making videos about The COMPLETE Life Story (Canon & Legends) of Luke Skywalker?
I use to have a Lego one of these from around 2005
What EAW mods do you play for this video?
What game is mostly being shown, particualy 2:13 ro 3:07? Looks cool.
ruclips.net/video/YryoEy_KPCk/видео.html&ab_channel=oPREDATORo
If your a big Lego Star Wars fan I recommend BrickVault’s AT-AP moc
What is the game where you are showing the range?
The Tank in the Clip is a french Leclerc MBT😅
It's almost like you shouldn't put weird magic monk/diplomats in direct command of your armed forces...
I would love to see the legs removed a new Republic assault tank version
This is my favorite walker
imagine being a clone trooper on a space ship, and you just shoot a laser in a random direction and it hits palpatine
I still wonder why a mass driver needs to worry about recoil since a Mass Driver uses Magnets to propel the shell not a propellant charge.
Every action has a reaction or so they say
If Shell is pushed away from coil then coil is pushed away from shell too , so hold the Coil (recoil)then it pushed the shell away (double push , Push of coil and push of shell applied only onto shell)and yes I know it's called repel
One of the most concentrated artillery pieces in star wars lore meant to punch through armor rather than shell a general area. Would probably result in less collateral damage than most modern day artillery pieces.
whats the game where the 3 at aps were shooting
What is the name of the game at 2:56
The speed of a abrams
Proceeds to show the Leclerc
you showed a leclerc which is faster than an m1 abrams, but still both are fast
