1998. Leviathan 1. The Ten Years of Darkness. Within Hatchery 51, the chief biorobotic engineer looks at the latest TK. "Will we be sued by the licensee?," his assistant asks. "Nah. The patents are now a public domain," he replies. "I thought you prefer the other space soap opera?," another assistant adds. "Nope. Puts me to sleep. Now this. Zoo-wee mama. Although the first trilogy chronologically in terms of storyline should be put into a memory hole forever, the Force is strong in this series," replies the Hatchery chief. "Gentlemen," a voice suddenly raises. "Enough about movies and pop cultural references. Are they ready?," the dhampir lord asks. The engineers sit upright as Luthor Bean Jr. inspects the replicants. "Yes sir. Just a little bit of neural map fine tuning and they are good to go for released on the battlefield," replies the chief engineer. "Means they are not ready?," retorts Luthor. "No...just, the neural path needs to re-route to sync with the memories to cushion any un-forseen emergence of emotions. Interloper muta-genes are below the threshold," replies the chief engineer. "Good," says the CEO of the replicant corporation. "I want them battle ready by 0300. Get the ships ready for their deployment to Lady Sham at Albion. There would be three waves. The Dead Astronaut Gangsta has accepted my offer and agrees to assist with helping them reach the surface of that dirt ball." "Yes sir," replies the chief engineer nervously. "But sir, why do we agree to do it? Our gene seeds are already exhausted and the DNA Organ machine is on the edge of total breakdown," says the chief engineer. "Revenues. Without it, we simply don't have the means to fund any further research to rectify the problems we face right now. Ya dig, holmes?" replies Luthor with a wink and a glint of his canine teeth.
The Stormtrooper Tomorrow Kings and Queens are a unique series of replicants. They are specifically engineered for Lady Sham in the Battle of Manchester. The ICG (Independent Countries Group) has agreed to the fee requested by Luthor Bean Jr. Corporation. Unlike the standard TKs or TQs, they are additionally programmed with military knowledge as well strategic and tactical skills. They are organised in accordance to the traditional military hierarchical structure. They take their combat to the heart of the Civic Defence Force and EMGY TRG with blinding speed and deadly precision. The Stormtrooper TKs and TQs are additionally armed with lasrifle, an energy based laser weapon widely used by the Frateris Militia and Frateris Templar of MARSA (Mars Advocate). The lasrifle is easy to produce and maintain. It is extremely reliable when used even in the toughest battlefield environmental conditions and very robust. It emits a high concentration of energy which could hit its target and vapourise it instantaneously in an explosion. It easily shear through armour platings and flesh. The lasrifle could be adjusted for a single burst or multi burst. They are good for up to 100 shots before power packs depletion and replacement. They also have lethality setting that adjust the damage of each shot to conserve energy. The lasrifle could be set to "overcharged", turning it into a explosive device. The resultant explosion could crack open the armour of a Large Martin or Heavy Bramble warbot. However, this tactic is used as a last ditch situation.
The Stormtroopers are also equipped with a laspistol, the pistol version of a lasrifle. It is powered by a miniature power pack placed within the grip. It is usually used in conjunction with close combat weapon such as the katana. The laspistol is specifically intended to allow the user to fire one handed and wield a melee weapon with the other hand. The laspistol is capable of producing the same amount of damage as the lasrifle but has a shorter range. It also lacks the selective fire options, having only the ability to fire single shots. Despite its lack of killing power in comparison with other weaponries, it is easy to manufacture, requires little maintenance, rugged, solid and precise. It can also be used to bludgeon a target and does not overheat. The pistol's battery pack can be charged by exposing them to sunlight, although due to global dimming, the Stormtroopers often throw them into campfire for a few minutes instead. This ensures that the pistol never runs out of ammunition.
Stormtrooper TKs and TQs also tends to operate cohesively very much like an organised military elite unit. They wears helmets, which apart from protecting them against biological and chemical weapons, contains the auspex multi-scanners, auto senses and targeting systems, as well as the signum, a multi-channel communication device which enables each Stormtroopers to pass and share myriad of useful battlefield targeting data and pass that information to their companions, allowing for more accurate and coordinated fire. It also allows them them to strike their foes with deadly and inescapable coordinated precision.
Like all standard TKs or TQs, they also possess superhuman physiology whereby close combat is measured in nano seconds. Here the Stormtroopers are akin to their fellow replicants, using the katana known as "Kenobi" with absolute mastery, cutting down their enemies like a lawnmower over grasses. They also uses krak and frag grenades to punch through armour and obstacles as well as fragmentation explosive to neutralise numerous targets respectively. Their ion cyclotron gloves could punch through armour.
The most infamous Stormtroopers are the 501st Battalion or "Mater's Fist". Their overall commander is the nefarious TQ, the Dark Lady of Death, Mater. They carry out various missions during the 1000 days Battle of Manchester. Deep strike assaults, reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage and airborne insertions are just a few of the special missions they are regularly tasked with. Each Stormtrooper is equivalent to a one man assault squad. Curiously, they shown a particular disdain for the Badbots and other droids from the ICG faction.

This is 3A tribute to Star Bores of which the seventh movie by JJ Abrams would be coming soon (of which I am excited cos JJ Abrams did a great job on the reboot first two Star Trek movies). Under the Popbot TK banner line, it initially offered as exclusive in a convention (I forgot), the all white ones. Then for online Bambaland, four variants, two blacks and two whites with orange colourway. Options for "dirty version" or "clean version". I go for the former and white of course. Opinions are divided on the orange colourway but I like it. Comes with a number of weaponries. The figure is OK in terms of QC except for the moveable fingers like EDO. It is weak and pop out frequently while posing. I am so worried it might break at the joint one day if I fiddle with it too much. Otherwise no complain about this one. Fan fiction story taken from WH40K and Star Wars Wiki. Now onto the female TQ version of a certain infamous Sith Lord.
