Here we have the AT-RT (Star Wars) going up against a Halo Warthog.

The two vehicles start at opposite ends of Central Park.

 All of New York is their battleground, it is completely un-populated.

The Warhog’s passenger is carrying an MA5D.

Who wins?

Shadow-Knight July 17, 2013 at 8:07 am - #1

I am going with the AT-RT for now; however, the worthog dose have a 78 mph speed

advantage to the RT’s 56mph .

Shadow-Knight July 17, 2013 at 8:14 am - #2

The AT-RT is 3.2 meters tall and 2.9 meters long. Could leap distances thanks to its light

construction and is equip with a nose-mounted repeating blaster cannon, mortar launcher, a motion detection scanner and sensor equipment capable of providing Forward

Command Centers with updated situation reports from the battlefield.

=====

I think that covers the basic technical details.

Shadow-Knight July 17, 2013 at 8:23 am - #3

The Worthog is a Jeep (Light APC) that can hold a driver, a top gunner, and a passenger 

who can serve as a side gunner. The mounted top gun comes in two styles 50cal chain

gun and Gauss Cannon. Both the 50cal and the Gauss have nearly 360degree rotation

giving it an impressive field of fire.

 All that being said, both vehicles leave the occupants exposed to fire so it all comes down

to who gets shot out of the drivers seat first or in the RT’s case taking out all three

occupants.

Shadow-Knight July 17, 2013 at 8:27 am - #4

Can some one tell me why it wont let my warthog stats through?

How good is the at rt at turning. It looks like if the warthog could manuver around or behind

it the rider would be pretty much defenseless. Where as the Warthog has the whole 360

thing.

Mike July 17, 2013 at 9:24 am - #8

a tank type match and it’s not from sauro………zomb must be sauro’s other account, only

logical answer. going with the warthog though, ability to fire at angles quicker while having

a speed advantage would be like a classic game of Perfect dark strafe circling when one

guys n64 analog is 80% wore out and the other is brand new. if you get that reference, you

are awesome.

Shadow-Knight July 17, 2013 at 9:38 am - #9

@Mike

I get it, had a Pokemon Colosseum n64 my self, had the clear plastic in fire orange color.

—

On topic, Im switching my initial bid, at the time my inner star wars fan won out over thehalo fan; however, I feel that in a one on one the warthog will win 9/10.

Eric Gigliotti July 17, 2013 at 9:59 am - #10

I don’t know any feats for the AT-RT’s cannon; but considering the superiority of Star Wars

over Halo, I’d say it will one-shot the Warthog. Even so, I’m going with the Warthog. The

driver of the AT-RT is completely exposed and we know bullets will puncture Clone armor 

(Republic Commando). The Warthog is faster and more maneuverable. It can rain rounds

and disappear down a street.

BC July 17, 2013 at 10:33 am - #11

Since it is central park there are actually places where the narrow and rough terrain

capable AT-RT would have the advantage, like the more heavily wooded or pedestrian only

areas for instance. Anywhere it is fairly clear and the ground is firm enough the Warthog

would have the advantage with its wide angle guns and crew of three. Raw firepower wise

the AT-RT has it over the Warthog but either one would kill on the first good hit with the

crews exposed the way they are.

OriginalA July 17, 2013 at 10:34 am - #12

“and we know bullets will puncture Clone armor (Republic Commando).”

Wuh? Context please.

Shgon Dunstan July 17, 2013 at 10:36 am - #13

I’m not sure about “fire power”, but I seem to remember the AT-RT’s doing some decent

acrobatics in SW:TCW….. For a SW walker anyway(not that just “not blowing up when it

hits a speed bump” would count as “decent acrobatics” for a SW walker ).

Shgon Dunstan July 17, 2013 at 10:37 am - #14

Wouldn’t count̂

Shadow-Knight July 17, 2013 at 10:45 am - #15

Try as I might I just cant find any clips of AT-RTs in action, all youtube has are kids playing

with lego versions/ stop motion shorts with toys. The episodes from the clone wars

cartoon that take place on Ryloth are the episodes that have the best feats on the AT-RT.

@OriginalA

““and we know bullets will puncture Clone armor (Republic Commando).”

-

He was referring to the game Republic Commando, one of the enemy types you face are

Trandosions(slavers have shot guns/Mercs have smgs/Heavy assault mercs have apc

repeaters[chain guns])

the ammo type they use is almost identical to modern ballistic weapons, so it is logical to

assume that if those weapons tare through the superior COMMANDO armor[which theydo] than the modern-ish bullets of halo should encounter little difficulty on standard clone

armor.

Shgon Dunstan July 17, 2013 at 11:39 am - #17

-

The one where that colony of Togruta got taken as slaves has at *least* some pretty good

 jump feats for them. Sure Ani and Ahsoka had to extend the jump with the Force, but still,

for a walker, the AT-RT still did a petty decent amount of it on it’s own.-

The AT-RT ain’t no “slowly walking chicken”….. More of a “roadrunner of unknown speed,

and poorly armored pilot seating”.

Tarbel July 17, 2013 at 11:41 am - #18

I googled at rt. I think the Atypical tertoid rhabdoid tumor wins in the long run.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_teratoid_rhabdoid_tumor 

-

-

In seriousness though…

 AT-RT may have much better maneuverability while the warthog is limited to streets and

side walks which may or may not be obstructed by vehicles.

-

Based on the wiki: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/All_Terrain_Recon_Transport : AT-RT’s can

leap, not sure how high/far, but surely enough to easily bypass obstacles like cars and

trucks or whatnot. Perhaps even some smaller buildings considering it is 10 feet tall.

-

-

“The AT-RT was fitted with a motion detection scanner and sensor equipment ”

-

Recons would probably utilize this well by hiding (around a corner maybe? perhaps it can

crouch) and ambushing warthogs.

-

-

“The recon walker was equipped with a nose-mounted repeating blaster cannon and

mortar launcher”-

Feels like one hit weapons, although the repeating blaster cannon might take another few

rounds to take out the gunner as well. But firing rate might handle that.

-

-

-

Found a scene of them in action:

www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1X6NTMrELdQ#t=77s

-

They are very bouncy and can crouch.

They can also do some pretty quick side stepping and perhaps a zig zag pattern, which

isn’t very used though.

-

--

Warthog wiki says it is 10 feet high also. If AT-RT charges at them head on(as seen in the

scene), the clone troopers are very dead.

-

-

I think this battle may depend on range and accuracy the weapons.

Tarbel July 17, 2013 at 11:55 am - #19

For the warthog, are we using this:

halo.wikia.com/wiki/M41_Light_Anti-Aircraft_Gun

or this:

halo.wikia.com/wiki/M46_Light_Anti-Aircraft_Gun

-

-

Current incarnation tells me M46 which has superior range to M41.

I’m guessing it fires at the ~900 rpm said in the M41 wiki, which is 15 rounds per second.But depending on whether we use Halo wars/reach or Halo 2, etc, the spin up time may

take from a half second to several seconds to spin.

-

-

 Anyone know the fire rate for AT-RT repeating blaster cannon?

 And perhaps the mortar?

“and we know bullets will puncture Clone armor (Republic Commando).”

-Wuh? Context please”

.

The Trandosian Slavers in Republic Commando (game) used slugthrowers. They were just as dangerous to the clones as blasters.

itcheyness July 17, 2013 at 3:03 pm - #22

I thought that they were supposed to be energy weapons designed to look like slug

throwers?

These are the Trandoshan weapons used in the game:

They’re all use accelerated charged particles or plasma charges…

Jolttra July 17, 2013 at 6:41 pm - #23

Most Mass-Drivers are described as being similar in power to standard Blasters. Blasters

are much stronger then UNSC bullets so it is probably safe to assume the Mass Driver 

used to pierce the Clone armor is stronger then the Vulcan rounds.

OberHeresy July 17, 2013 at 8:32 pm - #24

Could the Warthog be allowed the Gauss Cannon? Or maybe the rockets?

sorry, its been a couple years since I last played Republic commando. I had for gotten that

the line was “energy weapon that looks like a slug-thrower. ” my mistake.

====

On another note, if we determine that bullets are less than effective, then does that mean

we are using the Gauss Cannon in stead of the 50cal?

erickyboo July 18, 2013 at 3:34 am - #31

www.break.com/video/ugc/take-out-the-taliban-in-the-hills-456710

This is a .50 cal sniper hitting humans if this video is to believed. Warthog chaingun uses

.50 cal.

Rocket hog is pretty powerful and gauss too but both would probably take out the at-rt

easier than the chain gun.

I played Star Wars galaxies, I believe I had Nym’s Slugthrower at some point. It still

damaged people. Tusken raiders used stormtroopers as targets. Neck/vulnerable areas

and visor.

Usehalopedian.com not halo wikia please.

Warthogs are indeed 3 meters tall.

Given that all of NYC (i hope thats what he meant) is the battlefield, the Warthog has agreat advantage. As far as i know the AT-RT doesn’t have the maneuverabil ity the Warthog

has. It’s like Eric Gigliotti said; “It can rain rounds and disappear down a street.”

Wut? How on Earth would you come to the conclusion that the AT-RT, a scout WALKER

would have less manueverability than the Warthog, a WHEELED… thing. Also, they’re

starting at Central Park, so while the rest of New York is accessible, that is assuming that

they both make it out of the park.

I wonder what happens if both vehicles run into eachother.

Shadow-Knight July 20, 2013 at 3:35 am - #37

@erickyboo

“I wonder what happens if both vehicles run into eachother”Well if they were charging head on then either the AT-RT would jump over the

Warthog(assuming they are not firing at each other) or the Warthog would knock its lets

back causing the AT-RT’s “saddle” area to fall onto the driver and passenger, crushing

them. If the Warthog rammed the legs from nearly any angle the result would probably be

the same, a crushed driver and passenger.

Xornell July 21, 2013 at 5:03 am - #38

I say Warthog. It looks faster, and can hold more crew. The pilots of the ATRT are wide

open and completely exposed, and I’m willing to bet the Warthog’s guns are able to kill

them.

 Also, bipedal walkers are stupid and impractical in any universe. All-Terrain my ass lol

That was enlightening…

erickyboo July 21, 2013 at 6:10 pm - #40

That’s amusing.

Some people complain about the warthog’s lack of doors. It still is big enough to protect

occupants but it provides advantages as well. I’ll take an example from one of my

matches. I was playing CTF on ragnarok and I took the flag. I went on the man cannon and

there was a warthog right there that parked. I got in so quickly I was basically man

cannoned into the passenger seat.

Xornell July 21, 2013 at 6:23 pm - #41

I just hate bipedal vehicles. It’s the stupidest idea anyone’s ever had lol. Lack of doors?

The AT-RT has lack of… everything. It looks like a dirtbike with legs lol. If they change it to

Warthog vs AT-ST, that’s a different story. But this flimsy thing ain’t cutting it.

-

+1 Warthog.

lazysam99 July 21, 2013 at 10:24 pm - #42

The Warthog has a speed advantage while the AT-RT has a fire power advantage but due

to the wide open back that exposes the driver that is the AT-RT. The Warthog can easily go

behind it and kil l the driver but that’s what I think.

BC July 22, 2013 at 12:04 am - #43

The droid tech of Star Wars is a lot better than the Robocop tech, the walkers are a lot

more stable than those robots were.

-

Bipedal walkers have a lot of terrain advantages if they are strong enough to hop around,

which the AT-RT is. Anywhere a small dinosaur could go the walker can, which is much

better terrain handling that the Warthog (though it is good for a wheeled vehicle). Biped

walkers are also intrinsically faster than a rigid backed quadruped and it would be almost

impossible to ride a flexible backed quadruped and they do not tip that much if any easier 

than a quad.

-

The lack of armor to protect the rider is a bit of a problem, logically there should be at least

some kind of forcefield but I saw no sign of one in the source. The open saddle

arrangement is typical of SW though, and no more dangerous than riding a biological

mount would be (which really is not saying much, but it is a typical Star Wars thing

anyway).

would probably take the match, though it is still up to chance as to who spots who first and

if it is the AT-RT that gets off the first shot it would win most likely. Both are eggshells

armed with hammers.

Shadow-Knight July 22, 2013 at 12:10 am - #44

@Xornell

Mostly, at least in the case of the empire, the walkers were used to instill fear into

enemies, who in the early days were loosely organized and il l-equip planetary militias.

I think the “fear” came from the concept of the large, lumbering monster that is always

drawing closer for the kill; however, these fear based machines have many weaknesses

that can be exploited in war as has been shown in the movies.

ZomBirthday July 22, 2013 at 12:10 am - #45

“I just hate bipedal vehicles. It’s the stupidest idea anyone’s ever had”

-

Why? It isn’t that impractical at all really. As long as it works. It allows a greater range of 

movement than any wheeled vehicle. It can jump under it’s own power to great heights, it

can turn on a dime, it can traverse any terrain. As a matter of fact, it is funny you used stairs

as an example, as when it comes to wheels vs legs. Legs are going to win every single

time. Also, this is Sci-Fi, typically speaking, that means that the tech works perfectly no

matter how poorly designed.

-

“It looks like a dirtbike with legs lol”

-

It’s a recon vehicle… Historically what have been the best land based light recon

transports? Horses, and Motorcycles, the AT-RT is a natural evolution, combining the

speed, and mechanical effeciency of a bike with the agility of a legged animal… On the

other hand, the Warthog is a “Recon” Vehicle as well, however, it is twenty feet long, ten

feet tall, and ten feet wide. When it comes to which is a poorer design for it’s intended role,

yeah, good luck doing recon with that parade float.

-

-

“The Warthog can easily go behind it and kill the driver but that’s what I think.”

-

The AT-RT has legs, it can turn to face the Warthog, alot faster than the Warthog can

manuever to it’s rear. Having legs is a huge advantage in this respect, you would need

ludicrous amounts of speed to get behind something with legs.

Shadow-Knight July 22, 2013 at 1:04 am - #46

“you would need ludicrous amounts of speed to get behind something with legs.”

 And I think the blaster cannon on the AT-RT has a 180 degree rotation so the RT does not

need to be facing the Warthog in order to shoot it.

Xornell July 22, 2013 at 10:00 am - #47

“The droid tech of Star Wars is a lot better than the Robocop tech, the walkers are a lotmore stable than those robots were.”

-

True but this is just too shitty a design to work. And the Robocop bit was just for shits and

gigs, though the point does stand that All-Terrain was a piss-poor name for these things.

-

“Bipedal walkers have a lot of terrain advantages if they are strong enough to hop around,

which the AT-RT is.”

-

Steep incline or decline- Walker falls down. Mud- Walker sinks like a stone in water. You

get my point.

-

This is also an era of SW that has repulsorlift tech! They can hover everywhere, why the

hell would the do something l ike building a giant chicken robot to scout out areas?

Right but the Warthog may be able to survive a blaster bolt; that driver’s getting knocked on

his ass under sustained chaingun fire.

-

“Mostly, at least in the case of the empire, the walkers were used to instill fear into

-

I’m glad you brought that up. The AT-AT was designed to inspire fear. It’s a giant robot. This

is a slightly larger than human chicken. This is a scout vehicle, not a fear-inspiring death

walker.

-

“Why? It isn’t that impractical at all really. As long as it works.”

-

Because you waste more space and energy to carry around a bipedal walker than you

would with something on wheels, that hovers, or even a 4-legged design. It’s wildly

inefficient and every single mechanism has to fit perfectly to not fall apart. Realistically,

particles of dust lodged in the drive would probably make it so these things had an

effective life of a weekend.

-

“It can jump under it’s own power to great heights, it can turn on a dime, it can traverse any

1 word: Repulsorlift. If you can hover, why would you be assed with any of this ̂ .

vs legs. Legs are going to win every single time. ”

-

That’s not true. Stairs, which are meant for smaller beings to negotiate, can be traversed

with a larger wheeled vehicle, as the incline acts almost like a ramp. Like sowww.youtube.com/watch?v=k8CZiqEjQDk

“When it comes to which is a poorer design for it’s intended role, yeah, good luck doing

recon with that parade float.”

-

The warthog is intended to move quickly to scout out enemy locations. Wheels > legs in

terms of speed.

-

“The AT-RT has legs, it can turn to face the Warthog, alot faster than the Warthog can

manuever to it’s rear.”

-

 Are you sure about that? Look at the legs on the AT-RT. They have joints that can move

them forward, not ball & socket setup like humans would. That thing would have to turn

and make a complete revolution by moving forward to turn around. This is true of all SWbipedal walkers, with the exception of droids. Even if it could turn the way you’re

mentioning, it’d take a while to do so.

I’ll just say it is a Star Wars vehicle, the energy requirements, and logical capabilities of 

things don’t matter at all to Star Wars.

Rule of cool, it is Sci-Fi after all, and walkers are pretty awesome. Hovertanks are pretty

meh.

“That’s not true. Stairs, which are meant for smaller beings to negotiate, can be traversed

-

Yes, this is common knowledge, however, sufficiently large stairs will be intraversable by

wheels while legs are still climbing.

-

“The warthog is intended to move quickly to scout out enemy locations. Wheels > legs in

terms of speed.”

-

That would make sense, if it was actually fast, and not huge. You know what could fulfill

that exact role way better? It starts with ‘D’ ends with ‘E’ and has ‘irtbik’ in the middle“Are you sure about that? Look at the legs on the AT-RT. They have joints that can move

them forward, not ball & socket setup like humans would. That thing would have to turn

and make a complete revolution by moving forward to turn around. This is true of all SW

bipedal walkers, with the exception of droids. Even if it could turn the way you’re

mentioning, it’d take a while to do so.”

It is Sci-Fi… Seriously bro, They turn all the time when they shouldn’t be able to. Sci-Fi

cares not for your damn dirty logic.
