I always thought the regular LAAT was way smaller than the c-variant. Was I wrong or is the c-variant just massively bigger?

>>14693542
According to Wookieepedia the regular LAAT is about 17 meters in length while the LAAT/c is 28 meters.

Vehicles like the Bromry flatbed there are meant to carry CAs, but usually to bases as opposed to comnbat zones, and when they do, they're not to enter them, unlike the much more capable and maneuverable Mavellics. This is supplanted by Duey support which also tends to follow CAs wherever they go. Flatbeds do not enter combat.

You can't say it has no basis, at any rate.

Dougram is a little less of "the future" so much as something like twenty minutes into it.

No its an antigravity lift mechanism that provides no propulsion in and of itself, Repulsorlifts in their most basic form only serve to keep something off the ground like most traditional anti-grav devices and are not tied into the engines of a vehicle in any way.

If you built the model, you'd know it has a huge ass backpack that's probably specifically for the Operators to ride around in.

Well YES, but it's the same model twice over.

I customized mine by giving one both Mega Vulcans and the other both Shoulder Machine Guns.
If I ever get around to buying a HGUC Zaku Ground War Hard Graph or GM Sniper K9 kit, I'll then have soldiers to deploy out of them!
