Check out what the guys at POTF2.COM have uncovered (http://www.potf2.com/potj/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13578). An LAAT/c dropship (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/carrier)! Click the link for an image. A perfect companion piece to the new AT-TE!
***EDIT - As pointed out further down in the thread, this is a custom. False alarm. Might be worth moving this to the customs section.

Well for one I was not expecting to see that, however it looks like it is not to scale with the AT-TE. Good thing I am passing on the TE or else I would feel compelled to buy this thing as well.

I'm pretty sure those are both customs done in 2002/2003. I remember an article on Hasbro.com... I think the maker won a contest for best Young Collector or something of that nature. He got an action figure of himself, I believe. But yeah, that picture has been around for quite some time. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Thank goodness. I definitely do not have room or cash for a drop ship on top of everything else. :P

Now that you mention it the TE does look different, and that isnt the animated clone on top. Ill hold you to it buddy :P. no doubt you are wrong though now that I have looked this Te over. but either way I still would not be affected lol.

Yeah, it's a custom.

Oh drat! The same image/scan is in a post from 2004? So unfair.

Still...nice work. Do we know who made it?

I don't recall the guy's name or if he cranked out much more than the dropship and AT-TE but I do recall these customs some years ago. Made quite a splash because at the time nobody had attempted either item. A few more of each have turned up then... The look of them going together is cool but I thought Hasbro sounded sort of sour on the idea of the Dropship when asked? I can't recall if I heard that right or I'm imagining it.
I would think they could at least re-use parts from the Gunship to create a dropship that somehow interacted with the AT-TE. Together though, that'd be a WHOLE lot for a kid to pick up and "fly" around. ;)
Still things made to interact with the bigger toys would probably be cool ideas and help the sales along even if the item's a little more dull.

I remember seeing that picture from before. They still look great.

Where were these pictures back on April 1st? Would have made for a great gag...

Agreed. I'd have bit on this. (and cursing under my breath at having to save another $100 or so)
