Allan1313[MBO-CMD] Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 So Hasbro has this new Shadow Trooper figure out that is all sorts of fancy with sounds and a jetpack. The jetpack looks very similar to a Bona Fett pack just in black and silver. http://m.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=111912326 So let's get this added to the CRL as an optional accessory Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment
chwillis[501st] Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 This is the Battlefront Shadowtrooper /w jetpack. Would be very cool to see this added to the CRL as an option.. 1 Link to comment
Allan1313[MBO-CMD] Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Awesome I didn't know that. I don't have a PS4/XB1 so I don't have the game. The one in the game looks vastly different than the toy. Now seriously could we get this added? I would be willing to give it a go if it could be added. I don't think it should be a new CRL just an optional accessory. For example I have a HWT that is only seen in a video game: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_hwt So what do you guys think? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment
Allan1313[MBO-CMD] Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Does anyone have this game? I would love to get some high res images of this so I can try to give it a go. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment
Allan1313[MBO-CMD] Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Does anyone know how/if this could be added as an accessory in the CRL? If it takes someone building it first I can definitely give it a go. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I definitely think so with the game source and a supporting action figure. I am also going to check with the LMO team so we can see how those waters look, but I say go for it. I would fight hard for it's inclusion based on what we have. 1 Link to comment
retrofire[501st] Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I thought the Clones had a type of jet pack that was close to this? Maybe take a look through the Clone CRLs for the jet trooper. If it's close maybe all you would have to do is add some greeblies or build it up a bit. Just a thought.

Allan1313[MBO-CMD] Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have been thinking about how to attack it. I am definitely gonna give it a go. I am just brainstorming the best way to attack it. What I really need is some great pictures of the sideshow toy. Its the same as the shadow one in the game but in white for the TK.

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 We'll need solid, multiple angle game shots to support adding it to the CRL. The LMO is onboard for doing it, we've just got to make sure we have our references lined up in order. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 PS - love this idea! Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am going to try to make a pack myself. Hopefully it can be an optional accessory or an add on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment

retrofire[501st] Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I found this over on FISD and I thought it might help. How does this look in comparison? http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_skytrooper http://databank.501st.com/databank/File:Skytrooper_Backpack.jpg Link to comment

Thanks though, always good having more eyes on it. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think I like the one in the game a bit better. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I am currently working on a prototype for the Spacetrooper and Shocktrooper Pack. I build a bunch a different versions of pack and have been toying with the idea of the Jetpack. Especially for the Shadowtrooper. Would be nice to see the shiny black. I currently have a 3-D model being designed, as well as I am looking into if construction is possible with readily available goods. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That sounds awesome, Shawn. Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have decided to start a build thread for the Battlefront Jump Pack. The 2 pictures below are my main reference photos. If anyone has any better detailed ones, please feel free to post in this thread. I will get some more before I begin. My thought process here is to use PVC Foam Board for the creation of the prototype. From there, I will be able to create molds for Vac-Forming and/or 3D printing. The prototype will be built in white and a second one will be constructed in black. I personally want a black one, since I am slowly building a Shadow Trooper. It is not my intention to take this project over from anyone, I just currently have the time to be able to work on this. Please feel free to comment on this thread as much as you want. I am sure there will be some trial and error (just like with the Magma (Sullust) Trooper pack). 1 Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Awesome! We'll need shots from the game that cover all the angles of this thing. 1 Link to comment

CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Can anyone get some really good shots from the game to use as the reference photos? Link to comment
