smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

I think that the Grenadier chest would suit the Dark Trooper better.

Great finds, I'm certainly going to be a Storm Trooper from now on.


Hey thanks! Just a reminder to everyone that if you take in game shots of any of these customs, post them up and I'll tag them in the Original Post or following thread(s) (Seeing as how the original post is at MAX limit of characters, hahaha).

Again, I'm glad so much of the community has gotten involved, it's been a great response so far and I'm glad to have had so many concepts, submissions, and enthusiasm. Couldn't do it without you guys! :D

EDIT: Also, to Ktan! Do you have a better picture of Darktroopers? I'll be happy to change if you can show me one of their chest, I don't have much to go on sadly.

Why's that? To show electricity? I guess if people want that thats fine but I don't think I'll add that into the op.

Man you're just a buzzkill, hahaha. Anyway a lot of them look better in game than what their vanity pictures show them as, mainly for the reason that the vanity picture isn' a true-in game shot & also has the limitations of no female spartans and no helmet attachments (limiting some of the helmets to just bases or alternates).

Even still, it's fun to think up combinations which could as closely represent a character you love as it can, its enjoyable and it's nice to share.

Edit; it should also be mentioned that of course you have to have some suspension of disbelief in certain cases, not everything is going to be exactly spot on as the game wasn't built objectively towards that goal.

Haha, ok, so I made a Santa with the following:
Santa Clause
Body Type: Male
Primary Color: Brick
Secondary Color: White
Helmet: Any
Left Shoulder: Jump Jet (5k cR)
Right Shoulder: Jump Jet (5k cR)
Chest: Collar/Grenadier [UA] (General, 40k cR)
Wrist: Tactical/UGPS (Lt. Colonel, 80k cR)
Utility: Tactical/Soft Case (Colonel, 100k cR; req Hard Case, Captain 40k cR)
Visor Color: Silver (Sergeant, 35k cR)
Knee Guards: Default

Colors are obvious. Jump Jets to help explain his chimney shenanigans. Soft case to carry presents. UGPS to figure out where the heck he is at all time. Collar/Grenadier because its the biggest/fattest suit there is. Helmet is indefinite because there's no pointed tip helmet. If this were H3, Hayabusa would've probably won the day on that.

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

Cool.

You're iron man is more or less the same except you chose the Pilot helmet (Which I understand due to the shape) instead of the JFO (Which actually HAS the facial imprints that extremely closely resembles the iron man face)

There comes a time in all our lives where we've gotta decide: are you gonna be part of the problem, or are you gonna be part of the solution?

A cape would be an awesome Armor effect.

Added in Bender as challenged by TRIPolarBear117; so here is my reasoning behind most of it. We needed a simplest design considering the thin veil features of Bender himself. ODST itself has the least curvatures or design features of any chest piece, and could almost simulate his door chest piece. Commando or EOD could have won for helmets since they have what would best resemble a set of eyes. I ended up going with Commando though for 2 reasons, 1) Bender's high and mighty attitude, and 2) It has something of a framework "mouth" with the black piece below the visor.

Thoughts?

For viperPhantom though

Which original Ironman do you want? There's so many incarnations, hahaha. Hulk I'd honestly just suggest a Forest primary, Purple secondary with the biggest armor pieces there are (Collar/Grenadier [UA], Security shoulders, etc.)
