Sandtrooper Transports

So this is something I started wondering about and wanted to bring up here...

If the sandtroopers emded up being stayioned on Tatooine for a longer time than just looking for the droids - long enough to establish the MEPD - and if they used something besides Dewbacks for transportation... what would they use?

I'm picturing something less long than a speeder bike and not as big as a landspeeder. More "personal" size... but suited for the desert world. And something an actual guy in actual TD armor could sit on / get in / etc.

Probably metal plates... battle & eather damaged... you get the picture.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this... and I would LOVE, LOVE to see some original concept art!

What I'm thinking of doing is making one of "these transports" to take on troops and use as a sort of prop for photos.

So... what do you all think???

Maybe something along the lines of a skiff like Jabba was using in ROTJ?

Yeah, but that's a big thing indeed... not only to build but to carry to troops and have in pics.

I wonder about something more like an AT-ST that's a "smaller" version with possibly a "seat" on the top of it... like a personal "walker".

Or like something like Darth Maul rides on Tatooine.

Just brain storming still.

Gotcha!

What about something along the lines of the Mini Rig toys?

The troop transport has finally made it into Star Wars cannon through the Rebels TV show. It would be cool to see the others realized.
