    Yeah..... I just realized how unstealthy a man in a white suit and cape walking in a field during the day with his troopers is. The farm's perimeter sensors may have been tripped, and Galen might be able to see what is around his farm, including AT-STs.

    Could he miss the Star Destroyer in the outer atmosphere with binoculars or Krennic's giant black crow like shuttle landing in the surrounding fields? Which is probably why he's outside and not working indoors, he hears the Empire coming and rushes outside.

    Wouldn't it be great if an Imperial barge or drop ship lands two AT-ST's to cover Krennic's shuttle as it lands?

    We all knew it already but one of the toys labels the four-winged shuttle as a Cargo Shuttle.

    Hasbro's toy catalog confirms that Y-wings will make an appearance in Rogue One.

    Hav0k "Hasbro's toy catalog confirms that Y-wings will make an appearance in Rogue One." There's one on Yavin IV in the BTS reel.

    Is that an Interdictor and an A-wing on the bottom there? I'm assuming they'll make an appearance too? Me like.

    Never noticed it before but that micromachine ad shows some huge buildings on Scarif which seem to be connected via bridges. There is obviously the entrance (practical set) on the 'beach' that we have seen in the trailers, etc. so it seems that leads to the larger (CGI) installations. I always assumed that apart from the Comms Tower everything was underground.

    It looks like AT-ST's are in the film then too.

    The way AT-ST's were vulnerable to uneven and unstable ground, wouldn't they be equally vulnerable to walking through moderate tidal waves? If so that would make them useless for operations Scarif.

    The TIE Striker is a cool enhancement to the iconic (but rather oddly designed) TIE Fighter, and should be a great machine for the Empire to repel the Rebel attacks...

    Who's with me in saying that the Striker can be just as popular as Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle? And become a sought-after collector's item as a result?

    I think the art so far has depicted them on Jedha.

    I read through this thread and didn't see any mention of what appears to be a ship that's very similar to a first order transporter on the beach of Skariff.

    I had been wondering what the orange panels on the AT-ACT are all about. Reading about the AT-ACT having a "dedicated cargo bed for the transportation of heavy building materials or combat munitions and being deployed at major Imperial construction projects, such as shipyards and sprawling reasearch installations" has me thinking the orange panels and/or cargo hold have repulsorlifts for bringing cargo and troops up and down. One of the Micromachine AT-ACTs is missing the orange panels, so it must have been deployed to the surface. I just now found this photo from the SDCC diorama that shows the panels and cargo bed down on the surface:

    I'm probably very late to this discussion, right? I hope we see these things flying up or down. Maybe it's how Jyn leaves the communication tower, if not from the TIE.

    That's the Imperial (Troop) Transport, the forerunner of the First Order version. From what we have seen the cockpit module on top seems to be further forward and it looks to have some of 'wings' as well. Of course we have seen the interior several times in the trailer, etc. as this is the (stolen) vehicle which transports the Rogue One team to Scarif.

    EDIT: Just had a thought - it's always possible that the entrance ramp is to the rear of the vehicle and not the front as in the FO version.

    In the background, entrance ramp and wings. The black box on top is the cockpit module that Bodhi climbs up in to. The black sheets are just for lighting issues and the real thing will be added via CGI presumably.;
