THAT'S IT!!! I couldn't place it before, but I knew I recognized the Clone trooper. It has been a long time since I have seen Battlestar Galactica, but that is a striking similarity. I still think they look pretty cool, though.

Great! And I was hoping for something original. Well I guess the Clonetrooper is the first army builder.

And with the problems of the POTF2 Stormtrooper, pre-posed with a big gun that'll weigh it down.

Well, did you ever notice that the Cylons were a riff on the Stormtroopers? Maybe even a little Boba Fett too?
Boba Fett had been designed by the time Battlestar Galactica was in production, and there was a lot of cross over with the design and FX crews.
What comes around, goes around.
I didn't think the Clonetroopers would be original at all. I always thought they would look like Stormtrooper prototypes. Becasue that's what would make sense for the story."and Jaaaane, she is a clllllerk"

Stormtrooper 1977
White uniform
Stylized gas eye pieces
And dropped breathing intakes by 2 circular caps
Boba Fett 1980
Mixed coloured unifrom
T shape eye sight that leads down whole face
Cylon 1981
Chrome and rubber armour
Linear eye sight with moving red dot
Mouth intake leading to a trianglar shape upwards
Creast on top of head
Clone Trooper 2002
Semi-shape T linear eye sight.
Mouth intake outline moving to a trianglar point upwards
Creast on top of head armour
Looking at it I would say the Cylon were not meant to be Stroomtroopers...
But I did expect Lucas to have came with something more original and closer to a Stormtrooper early version...

Actually...
For historical accuracy...
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was in production in 1978...
Boba Fett was designed around 1978-1979 :happy:
