The AT-RT is just a recon vehicle and infantry support tool. And it has been discussed over and over in several threads already. 'Search' button is your friend.

Perhaps its a transport for jet troopers. The open-air compartment would make rapid deployment easier.
Also it might serve as a tour vehicle
"On your left you can see the titanic fight between a couple of Turbo Tanks and Separatist artillery. On your right, our brave clonetroopers are dealing with the mechanized abominations. On top of us, Vulture droids are making a run on our vehicle. Please tighten your seatbelts and keep the hands inside at all times. Have a nice trip on the Clone Wars battlefields."
Open-top half-tracks were used by mechanized infantry on both sides in WW2; if one were to find out why they used such open-top vehicles back then instead of simply closing the vehicle up like they do on modern APCs, we might have a reason.
The troop carrier in ROTS had eight legs (you can barely make out four on each side) and seemed specifically suited for troops (with seats occupying most of the space). The AT-TE in SW: Empire basically had it´s top removed to provide space for seats and cargo. It also had a manipulating claw, for loading off its cargo. (Another walker was seen in Empire #29, in the hands of Jabiim rebels, thus indicating it was used in several systems, not just a one-off design).
Can I request some screenshots of Bail Organa's blockade runner? Good front, back, side pics, as well as the docking bay Obi-Wan uses?

They probably have forcefields around it.

No it isn't. Not to mention that even if it was stated to be such (and I've read the novelization and can recall no such statement), it plainly isn't one.

I shall see if I can find the quote in question, but in any event, why would you say that it plainly isnt? There is canon evidence of smaller TF core ships (AOTC:ICS) and as for the latis-work covering the structure, it is entirely possible it was simply added after landing to reinforce and hold it in place.
