That version appears to be a carrier rather than the gunship the LEGO model
is supposed to portray. If you watch the TV spot that image was taken from
(http://download.theforce.net/episode2/aotc_clonetroopers.mpeg) you can see
the ship pull up sharply to drop off the walker (AT-TE?) and then pull away
again. I'm very tempted to buy a second gunship and modify it to carry a
walker ... no, must resist ...
Just checked TFN ships info and they list the gunship as coming in infantry
(the LEGO version) and cargo (as shown in the picture referenced versions.
If you watch the latest AOTC trailer again watch for the gunship carry the
Jedi - that's closer to the LEGO version.
I really like the LEGO set - it's sitting next to my TV in my living room,
only a few select models get to be shown off (and they have to be small
enough - otherwise the RBR and UCS X-Wing would be in there too!). Once I
get my new shelving up a few more LEGO models will be moving from my spare
room :)
