Ok we all know that the two most badass vehicles from the SciFi universe are the Empire AT-AT and the Covenant Scarab. Both have impressive firepower and armor. So I'm gonna see what everyone else think about this. I think that the scarab would destroy the AT-AT in a straight up firefight for these reasons. 1. Scarab is way more mobile then the AT-AT. We all know that being able to jump over and on top of buildings is way better then taking years to turn even 90 degrees. 2. Scarab utilizes plasma based weaponry which is way hotter then lasers the armor of an AT-AT would boil away. If not then any occupants inside would cook. 3. Can be dropped from orbit. No need to assemble on the ground or drop using a large dropship. 4. Better trained troops. If you haven't noticed the storm troopers havent even managed to hit anyone with their guns. I would be more worried if they were aiming for the guy next to me. If I wanted to wipe out the storm troopers I'd call for the ewoks. Now feel free to post what you think about this issue

I posted the 'stats' on these in a thread 2 years ago.
AT-AT wins, hands down.
For the range and fire power, the AT-AT would have the Scarab burning before it even knew the AT-AT was hunting it.
If you can take down a Scarab with a Hornet or a Gauss Hog, an AT-AT would have no problem taking it down even from a couple miles at range. The Scarab would be a sitting duck.

Scarab pros:

-two variants
-can operate underwater
-can climb over stuff
-beam has force (H3) and is powerful (H2)
-if core can't be damaged, Scarab has to take a lot of damage to be destroyed
-legs crush everything
-core's shield can be temporarily made impervious to damage (The Storm)
-in H2 Scarab, an impervious shield can be made at the entrance

Scarab cons:

-can easily be boarded in most situations
-crews are usually lax and small (except in H2 and on The Covenant)
-can easily be disabled
-slow beam charging speed
-beam projectile speed is also slow
-guns were disabled at the battle of Reach

Really?

AT-AT would have a major disadvantage in a mountainous area or an urban area where most battles would actually happen.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

I would have to choose the Scarab, from what i saw it can rip threw anything but takes time to charge its attacks.

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Scarabs are OP. AT-ATs are easily boarded also.

Just because I have a few minutes, and no one likes me:_(, I have found the pages I found before that give why I believe the AT-AT would defeat a Scarab.
If you look at the respective armaments, speed, armor and shielding, and the big one - Range, the AT-AT should be the victor.
But, decide for yourself.

The Covenant Scarab is a beast.
