Really it's the concept art version of what became the AT-ST, from Joe Johnston for ESB, co-opted later as the design for a new type of walker. Marvel's incarnation would be the first place it really entered canon.
I kind of miss the dark ages of Star Wars fiction, when we got by pooling scraps of disparate info from comics and novels with a seemingly random spattering of authors and artists.
I love these classic designs, and hope we get a Legion kit for this bad boy one day.
Exactly. And it became part of Legends Canon as AT-AR. All Terrain - Advanced Raider.
