An early quasi-quarantine hack was to make the Geonosis Troopers battle pack set (75089) suitable for usage on Kashyyyk.
This was accomplished by subbing out green pieces for the orange and tan of the original walker build. I'm told this is an AT-RT (all terrain recon transport), though it's described generically as just a "walker" in the promotional materials.
This unique walker is equipped with a rapid shooter and stands nearly half a foot tall. The battle pack also came with four camo'ed Geonosis clone troopers (half are airborne troopers).
This retired set was prized primarily for the cool minifigures, but customizing it for use in a building Kashyyyk landscape made the walker an essential part of many missions.
As far as Legos battle packs go, the vehicles are usually an afterthought. In this instance, the walker carries a lot of the value of the set, making it a welcome addition to lockdown Legoland.
