Go ARF Troopers!

Awesome post!
Thank you
Great read!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You have the Waxer and Boil pictures messed up. Waxer had the little twi'lek on his helmet cause he cared more for Numa. But this is a great blog. Nice job.

Pretty sure Waxer is the only one with a Numa picture.

I got my Waxer figure out and I discovered that he has it on the back of the helmet.
Reply to: Antimatter #Renegade Wolf
I re-watched the episode and you are correct. But this raises some questions now. Why did Boil have Numa on the side of the helmet and Waxer has Numa on the back?
