I believe so, but I think subsequent reference works (Incredible
Cross-sections, etc.) say that the AT-AT carries a few.

I thought so to---actually not as a part of this set, but as an additional
set in the line. Certainly a snowspeeder (or three) would be a great
add-on for the AT-AT. Also, since Luke comes with the AT-AT, we could
finally get Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson instead of that Skywalker dweeb.
This actually made me think about some of the oddity of how sets are being
released for the Star Wars line. I mean, currently what I think of as the
three essential Star Wars ships (the X-Wing, the TIE Fighter, and the
Millenium Falcon) are not currently available (in minifig scale). The TIE
X-1 was the only Imperial fighter relased by the time TLC had release all
four major Rebel fighters. Now TLC is releasing the AT-AT (at a time
when it will compete with the AT-TE), and has no complementary sets on the
market (Snowspeeder, Hoth cannons or base storytellers, AT-ST with
Snowtrooper drivers, even Tauntaun patrol). When I think about it, I'm
seeing a weird pattern of sets being released without a clear way to
interact with other available sets. It's very strange.
