Robot 5 • X-Stormer

The X-Stormer, a four-legged transport and combat vehicle, was a prototype of
what would eventually become the AT-AT. Imperial engineers worked for many
years to create the X-Stormers, but once the newer AT-ATs were introduced to
the Imperial Army, the X-Stormers were quickly phased out. However, many of
them ended up on the black market, where they were picked up by a variety of
interested buyers. Rumor has it that the Hutts own several of these surplus X-
Stormers, although what they intend to do with them is unknown.
The X-Stormer needs two rubber bands to make its head bounce up and
down as it jumps. We recommend small rubber bands like the ones orthodon-
tists use in dental work if you can find them.
