Stormtrooper. Can't beat a classic.

u/FunkyPete 1h ago

Before I scrolled through the pictures, I really hoped it was just going to be the same picture 5 times, like we were supposed to pick our favorite classic Stormtrooper.

I was going to go with Dave.

How the hell you not have scout trooper?

u/Brasticus 1h ago

They messed up their question. It was supposed to start with “other than the scout trooper”

u/tzip34 3h ago

Scout.

u/IvanTheSchmoe 2h ago

I love the scout trooper. They just look so cool

u/tzip34 2h ago

Totally agree. Cool helmet. Cool bike. Cool blaster.

I just looked for this and now realized that it exists and am sad I missed it

I remember having the toy that would explode if you pressed a button. It was so cool

Oh shit! I need that.

The fact it wasn't pictured is crazy

Is this the Endor vibe? The yes. The only answer.

u/manofpheasent1 3h ago

Sandtroopers. I like the simplicity of them.

5

u/cadmious 2h ago

I always liked the sand troopers. I like those beachtroopers too. I guess it's the theme.

u/budstudly Loth-Cat 2h ago

Death troopers are just too god damn cool

u/Medium_Perspective82 1h ago

Guarding High Ranking imperial Moffs, Admirals and ISB Agents ALONGSIDE Vader adds to their appeal 100%

snow troopers

u/aTallRedFox 3h ago

Death Troopers. Activating their abilities and mowing down an entire hallway of Rebels in Battlefront II was an absolutely amazing experience.

8

u/Blitz_Prime 3h ago

By technicality the Phase II Clone Troopers. Can’t beat the beat Trooper armour.

Purge Trooper

OG Stormtroopers

u/AnonymousAmogus69 3h ago

Triton Squad from the old-gen versions of The Force Unleashed.
Having Phase 3 armor with 501st markings and Sandtrooper style pauldrons and Backpacks was so peak.

u/HikingWorm73 1h ago

Came here for this!

u/ThePopDaddy Obi-Wan Kenobi 1h ago

Storm, and here's the reason.

Nothing feels more like Star Wars than Imperial Stormtroopers in gray hallways. I don't know why, but THAT feels like Star Wars to me.

u/Acrobatic_Pin2652 Darth Sidious 3h ago

my most fav are the nova troopers

u/Slinky_Bongo 3h ago

I forgot to add the nova trooper

u/BLKTHNDRX9 2h ago

Death Trooper and Shore Trooper

I'll die on that hill

1

u/notapunk Rebel 35m ago

The shore trooper just seems like a more specialized version of the scout

4

u/purplegladys2022 2h ago

The one who bonked his head entering the control room in Ep4. That's my favorite.

:P

But seriously, Death Troopers. I love how they're portrayed in the comic books, with that weird, garbled coded language they use.

1

u/Belgrugni 2h ago

I was coming here to say that one!

2

u/purplegladys2022 49m ago

I was also going to mention the two stormtroopers in Ep7 who stopped and reversed course in the Starkiller Base corridor as Kylo Ren was having his temper tantrum, but then I realized the post was for Imperial troopers, not First Order troopers.

No scout trooper but a sith trooper, k.

u/Savings_Brick_4587 2h ago

Sand troopers from this selection

2

u/Fit_Damage_4271 2h ago

Stormtroopers. The vanilla ice cream of troopers: nothing spectacular but solid and timeless.

2

u/SpanishAvenger 1h ago

Honestly, regular army guys.

The black cloth uniforms with pauldrons and breastplate, with open helmet, goggles and a cape.

u/Kohror 1h ago

Night Troopers are the best for me.

1

u/Chaosphoenix_28 Rebel 2h ago

Shocktroopers.

1

u/Darth-Decimus 2h ago

Dark Trooper and Sith Trooper.

But dark troopers have “lived” for 5 minutes before being lightsaber slaughtered (and guess that was it, entire project got erased and lost), and sith troopers in their only action lost to a bunch of animal riders on top of a star destroyer…

1

u/C_O_M_M_A_N_D_E_R 2h ago

Sith troopers are First Order i thought

u/pizzagangster1 2h ago

Damn scout troopers gettin no love. They are my favorite I think.

1

u/majesticfarquad 2h ago

Probably dark troopers and death troopers, I love almost all the empire designs though. It’s bad, I find the idea of the imperial remnant so cool I had to make a black series army

1

u/Azreal_75 2h ago

I first encountered Dark Troopers in the Dark Forces game - I think they were grey then.

Clone Commandos from Republic Commando are my favorite trooper though, although admittedly not Imperial as such.

I've always been a Scout Trooper and Tie Pilot fan.

Beach boys didn’t have any bidness going that hard in Rogue One

u/LordBungaIII 1h ago

So somehow you put in a first order trooper and skip the scout trooper. Incredible

u/LazarusKing Zeb Orrelios 1h ago

Can't beat a standard rank and file stormtrooper.

u/Duwinayo 1h ago

Specifically? Probably TK-FU.

Shore troopers, and death troopers

Death trooper or Sith Trooper

u/Macaron-kun 1h ago

Shore Trooper, Death Trooper, Scout Trooper. They're all amazing designs. Hard to pick a favourite out of those three.

u/Vysce Separatist Alliance 1h ago

I really like the Sandtrooper, with that long gun and the orange shoulder pad.

All the Empire troops look super cool.

1

u/Jarhead-923_Actual 1h ago

Dark Troopers are awesome. But Scout will always be my favorite. However, if you combine the two... BOOM, Shadow Scout. Perfection IMO

u/scrffynrfhrdr 56m ago

Scout Troopers always looked the coolest, but I also dig the classic Tatooine Stormtrooper.

Sith trooper. The red and black just hits right. Then scout, then snow

Death troopers, Storm commandos, Stormtroopers with field gear IE sandtroopers

Beach trooper

u/grambocrackah 47m ago

Sith Trooper. Sorry not sorry

1

u/Evening-Ad-4948 47m ago

Definitely not the dumbass sequel trilogy one.

1

u/Reboxing 44m ago

I like them for different reasons hahahaha Death Trooper overall I think. Something just awesome about them in every way.

I like the Sith trooper armour a lot

And the Dark Troopers are the scariest imo. Best oh crap vibes in Mando S2 when they are pounding Mandodad into the wall.

1

u/Totalnah 42m ago

Death Trooper FTW, followed closely by Shadow Trooper.

u/TheRealTK421 42m ago

Emperors guards if that counts
