ATM6 from The Last Jedi

四腳裝甲運輸步行機

----------------------------------------------

童年時看到《星球大戰》的所有機械，都看得目瞪口呆。AT-AT 絕對是一個經典設計！還記得它在《帝國反擊戰》中第一次出現在雪地出場那份震撼。AT-AT 全名是 (All Terrain Armored Transport)，有多種翻譯：無阻戰車、帝國步行裝甲機、全地域裝甲運輸步行機，都是以意思直接翻譯，香港譯作「駝型坦克」，是意像上的演繹，充滿想像力。

如果在現實軍事世界中，這種設計是非常有問題的，其作用是大量運送步兵。運兵最重要是安全，隱藏和快速。可是AT-AT的設計正好相反，重心高，速度極慢，很易被發現，而且出場都是平地，何不直接用飛船 ⋯⋯？ Anyway, Who cares! 反正就是型，大家就是喜歡，印像深刻，也成為星戰中的一個經典設計，我就非常喜歡！

最新一集《The Last Jedi》中又再見到 AT-AT，還有新登場更重裝更巨大的步行機—— AT-M6 (All Terrain MegaCaliber Six) 又名 Gorilla Walker，外型像大猩猩，而且比「駝型坦克」高一倍，火力更強勁！那我就叫它做「猩型全地域重裝甲巨口徑運輸步行坦克」，這個名夠不名霸氣？

Plastic Doll Faces by Freya Jobbins

This is cool! A series of faces composed of pieces of plastic toys by artist Freya Jobbins. Freya was born in Johannesburg, South Africa but grew up in West Sydney, Australia. She see's the toy assemblages as her humorous side and her print making as her 'voice.'

Cityscape Drawings by Paul Balmer

"South African-born, New York-based artist Paul Balmer makes some pretty phenomenal cityscape drawings and paintings. They have a bit of a Basquiat-esque crudeness to them, suiting his subject perfectly. " [ via lostateminor ]
