Advanced Recon Commandos (Legends)



ARC Troopers: The elite Clone Troopers that wield the secrets of Jango Fett and fought their way into Galactic Legend.

VS.

Magnaguards: The virtually-unstoppable, elite Battle Droids trained by General Grievous and fought against Jedi.

ARC Troopers were special clones. They not only inherited the DNA of Jango Fett, but his training, mindset, and intellect as well. This made them genuinely smarter and stronger than the average clone in the field of combat.

Simulation
Out in a colony on Polis Massa, five ARC Troopers are on patrol to keep the area secure. Unbeknownst to them, five Magnaguards are also on patrol with the same mission in mind.

Both meet in a large room in the center of the settlement and open fire on each other. After a brief moment of random fire, they scatter.

One Magnaguard chases an ARC Trooper down a hall. The ARC turns around and fires his DC-17 pistol at the Magnaguard, but doesn't harm it thanks to a combination of a weak pistol and thick exoskeleton. Nonetheless, the Magnaguard is knocked back, but back on its feet in seconds. But before the ARC can fire again, it receives a blast from a second Magnaguard's RD-4 Grenade Launcher.

ARC Troopers: 4

In another part of the colony, one Magnaguard chases after the lead ARC. But he turns on the droid, points his Quad-Laser at it, and fires. The weapon's rapid-fire takes off the Magnaguard's arm and leg before the Clone shreds it with another barrage from the Quad-Laser.

Magnaguards: 4

A Magnaguard opens a door to a separate room only to get its Bulldog shot out of its hand by an ARC in the same room. Retaliating, the Magnaguard takes its electrostaff as the Clone readies a knuckle-plate Vibroblade. But when both clash weapons, the electrostaff's tip short-circuits the vibroblade, making it explode and take off the Clone's hand. As the clone roars in pain, the Magnaguard takes its staff and electrocutes the clone to death.

ARC Troopers: 3

Two ARC Troopers make their way down a hallway until they make their way to another part of the settlement. When they open a door, they're met with a Magnaguard. Both clones get away from the droid, then use their DC-17 pistols to take it down together.

Magnaguards: 3

As the two clones prepare to leave the room, another Magnaguard throws a Neurotoxin Grenade into the room and seals it shut. The clones try to escape, but are doomed and suffocate under the grenade's toxic mist.

ARC Troopers: 1

The last ARC Trooper quietly makes his way through the colony, Quad-Laser in hand. He almost turns a corner when a rocket flies right past him and destroys the room to his left. He turns the corner correctly, then opens fire with his Quad-Laser, destroying his attacker: a Magnaguard.

Magnaguards: 2

Realizing his gun will only slow him down in tight spaces, he discards the Quad-Laser and takes his DC-17 in hand.

The ARC cautiously opens a door, then swiftly steps aside as a Magnaguard almost catches him with its electrostaff. He turns on the droid, then fires with his pistol, causing the Magnaguard to let go of its staff.

Acting quickly, the Magnaguard seizes the Clone Trooper and brings them both to the ground. As they wrestle around, a second Magnaguard hears the scuffle and goes to finish the job.

The ARC, still struggling against the Magnaguard, holds his enemy back with one hand and pulls out an EMP Grenade. As soon as he sees the second Magnaguard, he activates it. In a pulse of blue energy, the Clone is unharmed, but the Magnaguards are inactive.

The ARC gets his deactivated enemy off him, then raises his fist into the air and shouts "For the Republic!"

Winner: ARC Troopers

ARC Trooper Kills...
 * DC-17: 45
 * Quad-Laser: 411
 * EMP Grenade: 82
 * Knuckle-Vibroblade: 3
 * Kills: 542

Experts' Opinion
The ARC Troopers won because of their accurate and reliable weapons. The Magnaguards' were a bit too unpredictable and slow, and Magnaguards were very used to operating in small numbers.
