Predator Trooper – A Star Wars/Predator Mashup
The Predator Trooper was the genius idea of Colonel Ventus Gihl. Conscripting the Yautja Younglings in the the Stromtrooper program was the first step, but it also took extensive cybernetic reconditioning and enhancement to break them of their “savage ways.” Once trained they were equipped Imperial versions of their traditional weapons, namely the shoulder mounted tracking blaster and vibro-claw blades. The first squadron performed brilliantly, decimating the rebel forces gathering near Corellia Prime, a full battalion laid to waste in under 30 minutes. Alas the squadron was refueling on the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin and the project was terminated.

Head and shoulder blaster are from a Reaction Predator with original sculpt for the back of the head. The rest is a SW Kenner Stormtrooper with the should/neck are resculpted with Apoxy Sculpt. For a neck post I used a vinyl screw. The front vents on the helmet are pegs from a Mastermind boardgame (yet again). The claws are from a GI Joe figure.
