That's not the same as cruise missle with standard warheads. And yes, nukes would work but are unlikely to come into play. Way to much potential for escalation. Especially if I have nukes of my own.

The French only have missiles with the range to hit The Former USSR. they couldn't hit America only Moscow. Same with most Europian nations. and if you put your AT-AT on a boat everyone would sink your boat before it gets anywhere.

But who's to say that they'd find and kill them before the boomers launched? And who say's I'd announce my plans before handing them the surrender ultimateum?

As soon as France capitulated the US would imediatally start trailing all of your Boomers(which as a member of NATO would know where they were at the time of French Capitulation)

I'd like the T-47. If I can't find a pariking space, just blast some poor guy's car and park on the rubble. Plus, my repulsors mean that the cops will never catch me.

My only problem with the AT-AT is that I wouldn't be able to squeeze into the "Compact" parking spaces, anymore.

A ship. An AT-AT would fit on some of the largest ships if kneeling.
I can't think of a Cargo ship the AT-AT would fit in or wouldn't sink
I can think of about 2000. 2,500 tons is nothing for your average ship, and it would fit in most any container ship or tanker without a need for kneeling, though getting in and out would be a problem.

The best bet would be an sea going coal barge refitted with bow or stern doors. You will however need quite a tug if you want to cross oceans with it.

Six French SSBN's, one or two at sea at any one time, five have missiles which can reach America from dockside at the base in Brest. At least three would be ready to fire at any one time.

Hunting down the one at sea with SSN's, which would be a real bitch, is not enough.

I'd want a speeder bike. It's small enough to fit in my house or storage closet, and has a laser to kill things with. An AT-AT would cause too much collateral damage.

T-16 Skyhopper. Looks like an easy ship to fly and control plus it has laser cannons to kill those nasty trolls.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

AT-AT. Perhaps, I'll convert it into a nightclub.

If I want to somewhere fast, then the yellow speeder in the chase scene in AotC, except it's not yellow.

I'll take the T-16.

The ATAT should really be in another category.

Unsurprisingly the Buggy from Trek ain't getting much love here.

Anyway AT-AT man, who's gonna try and carjack an AT-AT? You could take it anywhere no worries althought I think some nations might object to you having it but meh, who's gonna mess with it? I somehow can't see the local doughnut swillers trying to pull you over...

Oh and the traffic Nazis would not dare ticket you and clamping would be a little futile!

It seems the general consensis is that you want to drive the massive kick-butt AT-AT. Also the joyriders come in second(t-16 and speeder bike) and if added togather actually beat the AT-AT.
