The specialized reconnaissance pilots of the Grand Army of the Republic charged into The Vintage Collection in 2011 as part of Wave 6. Representing the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps as seen during the Battle of Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith, the AT-RT Driver was a highly sought-after addition for Clone War enthusiasts. This figure utilized a definitive, super-articulated mold to provide a modern 3.75-inch version of the soldier, finally offering the flexibility required to actually pilot the scout walkers they were named after.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Recon Armor: The sculpt features the unique, streamlined armor designed for high-speed reconnaissance. This includes the open-face style helmet with integrated comm-link and the reinforced chest plate. The signature 91st Corps "red circle" emblem is prominently displayed on the shoulder armor.
- Deco & Camouflage: The 2011 release is defined by its Kashyyyk-inspired camouflage pattern. The paint application features olive green and brown "digital" spotting over the standard grey armor plates, simulating the dappled light of the Wookiee homeworld's forests. Subtle weathering on the boots and shins suggests heavy time spent in the muddy undergrowth.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized ball-jointed hips and "rocker" ankles are essential for this specific figure, as they allow the driver to sit naturally in the saddle of an AT-RT Walker or a BARC Speeder.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "pilot" for any Battle of Kashyyyk or Order 66 diorama. He is best positioned alongside Commander Gree (VC82) or a squad of Elite Corps Clone Troopers.
Accessories & Equipment
The AT-RT Driver comes prepared for a rapid extraction. He includes his standard-issue DC-15S blaster carbine, featuring a dark metallic finish. A standout feature of the 2011 release is the highly detailed removable harness; this piece is made of a soft-plastic material that adds a sense of functional depth to the figure's torso without hindering the articulation needed for piloting vehicles. The figure also features a functional peg on the back, allowing the carbine to be "stowed" while the driver is operating vehicle controls.
