I laid out the history, timeline, and reference of both Magmatroopers and the Royal Guards in Red Stormtrooper armour so all could see the former and latter are two different things that got collapsed together in the early history of the 501st's costume list. But there's a lot of resistance to change, even if it's just uncollapsing the name and the visual. I feel just as strongly about the Storm Commando/Shadow Scout matter. chuckle Red Stormtroopers have only appeared once -- in that story, which I and a couple others cited and even scanned and posted. Magmatroopers have never been seen or described -- there's only one mention of their mere existence that gets echoed over and over in various places. Both are canon. The red TK/TR is just like the Shadow/Blackhole Stormtrooper or the Felucian Stormtrooper Commander -- EU-official TK repaints. Magmatroopers, unfortunately, have no visual reference, but I imagine something similar to the Incinerator or EVO Troopers from The Force Unleashed (pure conjecture though that may be ). I don't know of any red Stormtrooper action figure that ever came out. Are you perhaps thinking of the Coruscant Guard figure from the Shadows of the Empire merchandising campaign? --Jonah Edited by Peregrinus, Aug 11 2009, 06:43 AM.
