The AMT functioned as an artillery repulsorcraft utilized by the Trade Federation during both the First Battle of Lok and the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY (in the standard year reckoning). Equipped with 2 missile launchers, it proved highly efficient when engaging airborne targets.
During the attempt to eliminate a resistance base situated within the Naboo training canyon, the Trade Federation dispatched a group of ten AMTs against forces from Naboo. Bravo Squadron pilot Rhys Dallows destroyed five AMTs while escorting the Zoomer through the canyon; once Dallows located his escorts, he destroyed the remaining five.
AMTs are featured in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Starfighter, and are also referenced within the game's strategy guide. When playing as Rhys Dallows, eliminating all seven tanks in the mission is not mandatory; only those posing a threat to the escorts need to be destroyed. Successfully destroying all seven tanks fulfills a bonus objective, granting the player one of the mission's medals.
