Koala3K Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Were the Dark Troopers of "Dark Forces" fame robots or humanoids? My theory is that the Phase I was a robot, but that the Phase II was a human, just like Mohc in the Phase III. What do you people think? --Koala3K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Well I've always liked the idea that all stages of the Dark Troopers had human brains in them. I mean, they're supposed to be DARK troopers! Can't get much darker than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekx Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 From what I've heard they're robots, but most of the 'troopers' in SW are Human, so that lead me to believe they're part human and part machine. Just like Vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider AL Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 shouldn't this be in the swamp Hmm, I dunno, it kinda relates to discussion of the games, doesn't it? Ask some admins for the definitive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekx Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 It could go in the Star Wars forums, under EU, I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 i have no reason to believe other way, but yes, the Phase 1s have to be robots (no human could fit in them) and ive been taught that the Phase 2s are robots, so thats what i believe. Phase 3 can either be an exosuit for a pilot inside or be a full automaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 According to the Essential Guide to Droids, DTs are indeed ALL droids. The only DT to be able to used by a human is the Phase 3... And the only one you get to fight in the game, we know, is the last boss... General Rom Mohc, what a wussy fighter... Hope the mod potrays his movements better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I believe that the Phase I & II are robot, and Phase III is maybe part human... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 they are robots. i got a card of the dark troopers and they are robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ack Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I think its kindof strange that 2 of 3 is robots, i thought Dark Trooper 3 was a robot too, when I first played it... Plus why would Mhoc not send his troopers out to were the suit instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Cause Mohc wanted to fight Katarn, duh. Hes a warrior and wanted a duel with "the thorn in his side". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose the attitude. DT P3s can be either human OR robot. Mohc wanted to fight him because he was a worthy advesary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git_sum_stuka Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I think Shadow Troopers are humans in uber black armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 yes, Mohc was an advocate of hand-to-hand combat (that includes blasters and weapons) to things like the Death Star. so after the Death Star was destroyed, he had his perfect opportunity to push his DT project. too bad Kyle came along. edit: git_sum_stuka, this thread is about Dark Troopers, not Shadow Troopers. if you dont know the difference, then get Dark Forces for DOS.

Koala3K Posted March 1, 2003 Author Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hmm, so they're robots... that takes a lot out of the experience for me. I always thought the Phase 2s were bad guys in armor who were growling at me, and now I find out that it's IG-88 with a big gun. No fun. And on the same note, how do we know that the Phase 3 was Mohc? I mean, I know it was, but I think I found out through some game guide or something. It's never actually made clear that it is Mohc. Can anyone think of anything in the actual game that revealed the Phase 3 to be Mohc? --Koala3K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Well he did say, "Its been a long time since Ive challenged a man to battle, Im glad my opponent is so worthy." or something like that. It was a pretty good indication that it was a duel and you hear a cry of defeat from Moch when you beat the Phase 3 Trooper. YYAAAARRRGG!!!

Koala3K Posted March 1, 2003 Author Share Posted March 1, 2003 Yeah, yeah, but it could have been a stormtrooper with a big ego dressed up and saying that nonsense. And why was Mohc sitting in a little closet in a deep dark corner of the Arc Hammer in the first place? And by the way, I like Spider AL's idea of them being robots with human brains.... --Koala3K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
