Strengths
Heavily Armoured: The AT-AAW is very heavily armoured to account for it's speed and limited movement - as well as protect it's precious cargo.
Very High Offence: The AT-AAW was made to take down buildings and bases single-handedly and so is equipped with very powerful weapons.
Heat Resistant: Due to the insulfoam lining within it's walls, the AT-AAW is resistant to heat - it's Torr's signature thing.
Weaknesses
Slow: Due to the amount of weight that the AT-AAW must carry, it is very slow and susceptible to attacks during the long period that it takes to move from A to B.
Limited Maneuverability: For similar reasons to the above, the AT-AAW's movement is limited and it has severe difficulty making turns.
Exposed Joints: As with most walkers, the AT-AAW's leg joints and exposed and once they are gone - the vehicle is useless.
Description
The All-Terrain Armoured Assault Walker (or AT-AAW) was a walker designed by Torr Mechanical Designs and Schematics to be able to single-handedly take down military bases or large buildings. Because of this, they equipped with an array of powerful energy weapons - the largest of which being the Large Elongated Double Barrel Fire-Linked Laser Cannon Turret, which is able to easily move 360 degrees on a vertical axis and up and down on a horizontal axis. It is also equipped with a missile launching unit attached to said turret which can fire 12 heat-seeking missiles simultaneously. Also, due to it's bulky stature, the walker has plenty of room for cargo and passengers.
Unfortunately, as always, it also comes with it's share of weaknesses. Due to the amount of weight and pressure put on it's legs and joints, the AT-AAW is slow and has extremely restricted movement. Also, as with most walkers, the joints in it's legs are exposed to attacks. In theory, something similar to what happened to the AT-ATs at the battle of Hoth in 3 ABY could happen to the AT-AAW, but... That would just be unoriginal now, wouldn't it?
