Star Wars Trooper Concept Art
This is the third and final picture in my trilogy of paintings depicting hybrid Marvel and Star Wars characters.
For this one I’ve combined elements of Iron Man’s costume with an Imperial Stormtrooper to make… Iron Trooper!
Like my Darth Doom picture before this – I’m not the first person to imagine how these characters could look combined – but I had a lot of fun creating a design that balances visual traits of both characters and I hope it shows my ability to take familiar concepts and create a new spin on them.
This is a low-res version of the original which was drawn in Photoshop (from an original pencil and paper drawing) using a Wacom pad. I used Sketchup to create a 3D version of the tunnel that the character’s standing in – which I then exported as a 2D image and colored in Photoshop.
Concept art for an upcoming marvel Star Wars issue. These are just concepts, but whatever the final versions of these end up being, they will be in an upcoming comic and therefore canon, and therefore possible skins for battlefront.

Affiliation
Clone jet troopers, or aerial clone troopers, were clone troopers equipped with and trained in the use of jetpacks.
They were the successors of the Republic rocket-jumpers of the Old Sith Wars and Darca Nyl's airborne mercenaries from before the Invasion of Naboo and the predecessors of the jumptroopers and sky troopers of the Galactic Empire.
Equipment
Clone jet troopers were part of the Grand Army of the Republic. Jet troopers utilized their limited flight jetpacks to rapidly cover great distances and gain aerial advantage over their enemies. The agility of the flying jet trooper made him difficult to hit and could ambush their enemies from behind.[1]
Jet troopers were issued Merr-Sonnelectromagnetic pulse launchers. They were also equipped with the DC-17 commando pistol, which was very powerful and accurate, especially for its size. It also had a better cooling capacity so it could continue firing for a long period of time without overheating. They also carried V-1 thermal detonators.[1] The troopers learned to incorporate their jetpacks in battlefield tactics, sometimes mounting ambushes like the Mandalorians who had trained them.[4]
Two different types of jet trooper armors were in use during the Clone Wars. The first wore standard Phase I clone trooper armor with the addition of a[1] short-duration[5]JT-12 jetpack.[1] They later adopted Phase II clone trooper armor.[6] The Kaminoanresistance to the Galactic Empire utilized jet troopers as their primary infantry, but carried DC-15x sniper rifles as one of their primary weapons.[6]
Phase I jet troopers wore clone trooper armor with green markings.[1] Phase II jet trooper lacked these markings, instead having a darker tone with a green visor.

History
Jet troopers first saw action at the First Battle of Geonosis. They were incorporated into many units,[1] one of them being the 501st Legion.[6]
Star Wars Concept Art Stormtrooper
In the Battle of Geonosis, a jet trooper was assigned to acquire a Geonosian holocron that fell from one of the Geonosians. The holocron was successfully delivered to Checkpoint Alpha and sent to be analyzed for its secrets. Jet troopers which were part of the 501st Legion also saw action in other battles of the Clone Wars.[6]
After the rise of the Galactic Empire, the jet troopers were succeeded by the Imperial jumptroopers[7] and Sky troopers.[8]
