Sideshow 212th Airborne Trooper

[Deak Starkiller]

Cool, now let's hear the opposition aka the beaching.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

i'm getting two of these and i NEVER buy two, WOW

 

[Khev]

Pretty cool, but I have to admit that I don't remember ever seeing these guys in the movies. Are they from the CW series?

No they're seen on Utapau in ROTS. One of them tells Cody they can't find Obi-Wan's body.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks Khev. Obviously I either blinked or I haven't watched ROTS nearly enough times!

 

[Khev]

Yeah, I believe they're pretty brief. I only noticed them because they look so badass.

 

[Darth Cruel]

One also bends down toward the beginning of the battle to check on a fallen clone. This made me believe at first that they were medics.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Now this is a clone I would buy. Love the beehive.

Me too. For whatever reason it has always seemed more "classic SW" and less contrived to me. It looks like something McQuarrie or Johnston might have designed from scratch instead of a direct reference to Boba Fett (Phase I helmet) or an attempt to simply merge Fett with a Stormtrooper (Phase II helmets.)

 

[gibby]

Man, now I'm starting to think whether selling my clones was a good idea.

Must...stay...strong...

 

[The Josh]

That looks great! A must buy for my clone collection.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Man this looks great! Might be my first non commander purchase

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well put, I do see a McQuarrie style there that I never noticed before. Definitely a better design and more unique than "the merge".

That all just makes me want this more now. I have no other PT clones and the only commander I have is Cody... but this really appeals to me. At least he'd go well with Cody.

 

[Lordscum]

Nothing on this guy in the Newsletter .......Jerks.

 

[Eukalyptus]

The helmet looks a little funny, but the rest is awesome! I wonder which shade the orange will be on the production piece.

 

[INCOM]

Definite buy for me. Just curious, why are they called Airborne? Makes no sense to me.

agreed,i love this design,i am getting 2 ,i guess
or rather: i am afraid i will buy 2

 

[rushmore223]

I have wanted this clone since I first saw ROTS, thought the "different" design was very cool. Isn't one of them Commander Fox?

 

[marker2037]

They look pretty cool. Don't remember seeing them ever, but pretty cool.

Can't let myself get into clones though

It'll never end.

i made one of them myself,but that SS design is clearly better than mine

Do you have pics?

Don't worry, at least you could create one yourself. If I tried it would be the sorriest looking clone ever.
