For those of you that missed
round 1
Okay, now that your caught up, I'll announce the winners. But first, I have to inform you of something concerning the voting. I told my group of SW friends at school about my blog and they wanted to have votes as well. I didn't think it was fair to exclude them seeing as how they are fans who simple can't afford to get a Hyperspace membership, but I didn't want to over do it so I let four of the vote. So, with those votes in mind, the score stands at...
Republic Commando's : 6 1/2
SPATAN II's : 7 votes
The SPARTAN II's just barely manage to snatch the victory away with 1/2 of a point!! What a come back and good job Commando's, you put up an excellent fight.
Okay, so now we move on to ROUND 2!!!!
First up its the 501st Legion!!
Stats ( based on a single trooper )
Height : 1.83 meters.
Weight : ?
Armor : Reinforced infantry armor.
Weapons : DC-15 blaster pistol, DC-16 blaster rifle, thermal detonators.
Vehicles : AT-RT, AT-TE, ARC-170.
Additional Info : The 501st legion were a special legion of shock troopers used almost exclusively as Palpatine's body guards. Most of the Legion spent their time on Coruscant and escorting Palps off world. A lucky contingent of the 501st got to tour the galaxy and fight the Seps during the Clone Wars though. They were led by Anakin Skywalker during the Great Jedi Purge at the Temple. During the Galactic Civi War they became know as Vader's Fist and were feared through out the galaxy. They remained the only Jango clone Legion in the Imperial army until their retirment after the battle of Hoth.
And now, contestent number two is
The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers from Halo and Halo 2
Hieght : Undetermined, depends on the soldier.
Wieght : Again, depends.
Armor : Body armor, looks like regular infantry armor except it makes that armor cry. Can withstand bullets and maybe one hit from a plasme rifle. To bad they don't get hit to often!!!
Weapons : MA5B Sub Machine Gun ( SMG ), regular sidearm, Assault Rifle, Sniper rifle, basically all human weapons.
Vehicles : Scorpion Tanks ( really heavy armored tanks ), Warthog ( like the JEEPS really bada$$ great grand child )
Additional Info : The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, or ODST's, are a contingent of the UNSC military, which is like the space NAVY in Halo. The ODST's are put in pods and launched from their ships in space into a planets atmosphere and make a hard landing on the ground. They are also refered to as " Helljumpers because of the extreme temperatures they encounter on the way down. When the ODST's land they immediatly start fighting and they never stop. Putting a group of them down is hard for even the most hardened army of veterans.
Well bloggers, I'll leave the choice up to you. Good luck and I'll reveal my vote later.
