The AT-AT's legs were well armored, they were far more exposed than the neck. Big ass artillery cannons did shit to the AT-AT's on Hoth, but when a snowspeeder fires on it's neck with two short bursts, the entire cockpit explodes. Do the math.
A tanks treads are actually vulnerable. Sticky bomb, dude.

The AT-AT:

The most vulnerable part of the walker was a weak point found at its flexible neck, which was susceptible to lighter blaster barrages. The legs were also somewhat unstable and could be tripped, leaving the walker defenseless.[2] While first appearing to be a slow, lumbering vehicle, the AT-AT would often times be on top of its enemies before they knew what had hit them.[7] The AT-AT also lacked armor covering on its underbelly, leaving the spot vulnerable to mounted guns or portable missile launchers.

But how do they move if they're made of metal? That was the question you posed and why you think the neck is comprised of "not metal stuff."
So we're to assume that the fall had nothing to do with the neck being damaged and made vulnerable as that poor AT-AT took a face-dive with all it's many tons.
Though if you look at the fight, it doesn't blow up from a neck hit, it's shot above the neck, on the body.
So which is it: The neck is made of "not metal stuff" ergo it's vulnerable to an RPG? Or an RPG will replicate both any damage the face/neck might have taken from the fall and the blasters of a snow-speeder?
Originally posted by BruceSkywalkerNot that hard to figure out. Sure, IF he has no knowledge of the AT-AT's, he'll waste a coupla rockets on the armored parts, but when he sees the neck rotating and flexing, he'll figure it out.

That's the first place I'd fire.

but you aren't rambo..
besides can rambo even survive being shoot by the at-at long enough to even fire back?

Nah, he kills the troops first. The AT-AT's aren't navigating the dense forest, they'll be forced to skirt the treeline, far from the ground battle.
But of course he does, in fact waves of Troopers will keep going into the forest and dying and they won't think to stop; not a single squad or trooper will stick with the vehicles. That would just be stupid.
