Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hello everybody! I wanted to ask if any of you might be kind enough to point me in the direction of a TK Combat Medic... or has it not been done? I thought I saw a picture of one once, but it didn't look FISD approved. I have to wait till November to order my ATA armor, so in the mean-time, I am filling my head with knowledge, and exploring every option I can think of. A TK Medic has appeal to me, because I spent four years in the Army as a Combat Medic. I can't recall seeing one in the movies, ( and I have watched them all like, 100 times), so I would imagine that if one existed, it would come from the expanded universe. I know from the books that the phase I and II troopers had medics, so it stands to reason that the Phase III's would have them, as well. I will look forward to hearing from you!

samskara Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Welcome! There isn't a 501st approved "Stormtrooper Medic" but I'm not sure of all the variations on the Clone side of the house. Here you have four variations from the original trilogy (ANH Stunt, ANH Hereo, ESB, ROTJ) and five approved EU (INC, TKC, HWT, Sky Trooper, and Death Trooper). Currently being researched/considered are Phase III, Kashyyk Trooper, and Legacy (Joker Squad). Besides if your armor is designed to ensure a stubbed toe kills you why have medics?

Locitus[Admin] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 TK's don't need medics. We leave our brothers that fall where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK5492[TK] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ben, I think you will be thrilled to hear that the ranks of the Stormtroopers do, in fact, have medics. They are, however, on the side of the Special Operations. Which is okay, because us in the military love that SOC stuff right? The costume you can build is the Novatrooper Medic. You will, of course, have to paint your armor. But that's just part of the fun right? For more info, you can understand what a "Novatrooper" is here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Novatrooper And take a look at the CRL for the Novatrooper Medic here: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_novatrooper_medic Looks like it would be just what your looking for. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic_Wilson Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Stormtroopers clearly have no experience dealing with their injuried brothers Case and point watch this video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X[TK] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yep...the Spec Ops Novatrooper is your guy. http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_novatrooper_medic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I am eager to check out the nova-trooper medic at the 501st, but the site must be down, or something cause google can't find it. In the army I was trained to be a soldier first, and a medic second. The two weeks I spent in the field earning my Combat Medic Badge was a real treat compared to some of the other things I participated in... you gotta have guts to stand on the front line, un-armed while people are shooting at you. Thanks for all the help, everybody! Nova-trooper medic sounds like my kinda trooper. I will dive into the Spec Ops section of the 501st as soon as I can.

I love Star Wars fan-films. Some are really lame, but more often than not, you get to watch some great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 There actually are references to TK Medics in the EU (they wear blue pauldrons). If you can find 3 visual references (from different sources), and get a blue pauldron, you can be the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I like the idea of a TK medic (white armor with a blue pauldron), better than the idea of a novatrooper-medic (with black and red armor). It was cool to see him and I think it is great that the expanded universe has created so much variety, but I don't like the color scheme of the nova-medic... No offense to my brothers in black or red, I just find the white armor more appealing. I am 36, so I have been drooling over the white armor for THAT long, now. I think I will research the blue pauldron medic and see what I come up with. If I can find three references, I will post them here for deliberation. Thank-you for being interested!

Darth Hilarious Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'll do what I can to help you in the search for visuals, I'd like to see these guys happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Here is one medic, but he's a clone... pretty cool, though, huh?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 This is a link to starwars.com, where the same image as above is used to reference the clone trooper named "Kix". He was a clone trooper medic... I love the paint-job, and better yet, he has a medical pack. He makes multiple appearances in The Clone Wars cartoons on Cartoon Network. I am sure I could get him into the 501st, since, technically, he is already a member (during the Old Republic). http://www.starwars.com/explore/encyclopedia/characters/kix/ So, what do ya'll think?

I will be gratefull for all the help you can give me,cause so far I haven't squat on a white phase III medic with a blue pauldron... Just the phase II from The Clone Wars.

Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yep, so the 501st has a spot for Kix, but absolutely no info or pictoral references... but I know we are looking for a phase III medic with a blue cauldron, so I will try to stay focused!

Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 This might be of interest to you. http://starwars.wiki.../Imperial_medic Thank-you for your interest... I did find that article earlier, and I have never seen that medic, before. He is pretty cool, but not specificaly what I was looking for... the search goes on. Thanks, again!

Darth Hilarious Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I put out some feelers on another forum for you. Came up with pretty much the same answer, that AT-ST driver-looking dude. But hey- one more visual reference and he's 501st approvable! Oh, and the red pauldron/blue pauldron mix-up was my bad memory- sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 No problem. On wookiepedia, I read that the pauldron was red for medics, but I wasn't sure if it was a mistake or a different era reference. I will keep looking, but it does not bode well. This would be an ideal time for C-3PO to chime in with the odds! LOL If I can't find anything else I will stick with the phase II medic, Kix... I have a few projects to keep me busy, in the mean-time: 1. I am building a TK hero helmet for my brother; 2. I have all the references I need to begin building my life-size R2-D2; 3. just for sh!^$ and Giggles, I am pepping a set of storm-trooper armor... you never know. If nothing else, it will make a cool static display. Next month, I am going to put my order in for a set of ATA armor, so when that comes in, some time in February, (he has a 16 week waiting period, now), I can begin assembling that for my 501st membership... CAN"T WAIT!!! Well, don't give up, battle-buddy! We'll nail this, eventually. I will continue to look, and I will check here religiously to see if anything new has been posted.

Darth Hilarious Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Here's a cool one: Imperial Surgeons! Apparently from the same Empire Comic as the AT-STish combat medics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandolorian Street-fighter Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 That is interesting... The med-bay looks a lot like the med-bay on the Enterprise NX-01. Still no luck on my part. The search goes on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
