Crowd Control Stormtrooper with thruster pack
A crowd control thruster pack was an armed repulsor jetback used by Crowd Control Stormtroopers. The pack was equipped with bolstered arms on which were mounted a heavy blaster module, a capture claw, and a supercharged taser. Its two large thrusters enabled the troopers to fly at speeds up to 200 km per hour. However, the vehicles were also relatively quiet, which led to their occasional use by the Imperial Espionage Division. These stormtroopers came from shock troopers.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Crowd Control Stormtrooper was created by Hasbro in 1996, as an action figure in the second Power of the Force toy line.[2]
