Whish Branch Has the Coolest Armor?

Grant Lamontagne · **on:** September 05, 2009, 08:22:26 PM

Troops in the Galactic Empire all wear cool armor, which begs the question, which branch is the coolest?

Imperial Ground Transport:

Imperial Pilot:

Imperial Stormtroopers:

Imperial Stormtroopers, Cold Weather Gear:

Imperial Scout:

Republic Commando:

How's this for a thread to get your inner geek going?

I notice how all versions place great emphasis on gonad protection!

Surely they have learned from experience how important this is

(that being said, I prefer the plain vanilla stormtrooper outfit the best)

When I was little, I always thought the Imperial Scouts were the coolest... maybe it was because of their speeder bikes?

Stormtrooper all the way.

Pilot gets honorary mention, on account of his pelvis thrust pose.

Out of those shown I like the plain Stormtroopers best but I really like one that you didn't include. The Emperor's Royal Guard.

Mr. Morden, the Shadow's agent, had to one of the creepiest characters in a sci-fi series.

Of course, if we're talking sci-fi heavy hitters who wear armor, we can't forget these guys...

As a kid my favourite figure (of this lot) was the ground Transport guy for some reason.

maybe because he had his own AT-AT and Scout Walker.

Republic Commandos get my vote though.

Anyone else think the dancing robot things in the various annoying yet humourous Crazy Frog videos look like Vorlons?

sappyg · **Reply #25 on:** September 06, 2009, 03:51:46 PM

empirial storm trooper all the way... very cool

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #26 on:** September 06, 2009, 05:55:07 PM

Would you like to buy some propane? Or propane accessories?

Starcraft's Firebats may have very limited range, but since Zerglings and Zealots are both melee fighters, the Firebats earn their keep!

Still, I always thought the biker scouts were the coolest:

The only real drawback is the limited visibility of the cover over the visor, which kind of defeats the purpose of a scout, but it still looks cool! I'm surprised Whoey hasn't stopped in with his favorite armored character!
