 All right, here's Fordo. My brothers and I created him using a Clone Commander (obviously) and simply gave him an extra gun. Then we Sharpied both guns to the same color. Simple, though very cool. Because of the weak Shootback we're allowing him to be played for 30 points. (in case you're wondering who Fordo is, he's a Clone Commander from the Star Wars: Clone Wars TV miniseries. Clip follows:)  |

He looks awesome! But instead of green missiles, you should give him some blue ones. Awesome clip, though! I loved watching those series...

He is pretty cool, but I am going to have to agree with Iamsam on the missles.

Ah, man I'm sorry but now I like red missles for him because he is red you know?

Hm... Mind if I speak freely, Ataru? Offhand, I'd say it needs the Jaig Eyes on the helmet to cement it as being Fordo, otherwise it really just looks like a Clone Commander with two weapons.

Pretty cool. I remember that chapter. That was Chapter 21.

Yeah, Fordo is awesome. I purchased the hunt for grievous battle pack just because he's freakin amazing.
Hey, do you mind if I copy this link and use it as my Avatar? If you do I'll take it off of there.
One of my favorite parts of the clone wars is Tiin answering the clone trooper who says "The ship is lost." And Tiin says "It's time to get a new one." And Jumps into space, tears through an enemy ship, and takes over.
Oh, love the custom. BTW

You should remove the skirt thingy (can't remember the name right now...) if you get the chace; he'd look a bit more "accurate" that way. Still, that's an awesome figure. Better than I could do.

Photo Premium 9 (boy, that's a mouthful) and changed the color. As for the motion picture, it's a .GIF animation. I just did an image search for "Fordo" and uploaded the image I found to my Photobucket account. If you want programs to do image manipulation and GIF animation, I'd recommend checking out Gimp, Freewarehome.com, and Download.com. Great free programs! As for Fordo's missiles... well, here's red!  As for Fordo's kama and helmet... well, I would do some more mods, though my brother (the one who owns Fordo/the Clone Commander) has de-Fordo-ized the custom, and now it's just an ordinary Clone Commander with a black gun. |

Yeah, I think so too! Hasbro did a good job picking the color.  |

If you ask me, the blue missiles fit better. I mean, look at the blaster bolts in the clip...
