One of our favorite obscure clone troopers is Warthog, a dynamic pilot in the Republic Navy's Hunter Squadron.
Often serving as the wingman for Jedi General Plo Koon, Warthog also joined the 104th Battalion at times to provide aerial support under Commander Wolffe.
Warthog was an ace pilot, most often flying BTL-B Y-wings, V-19 Torrents, or Z-95 starfighters. His most high-profile missions came in the Assault on Gwori, the First Battle of Felucia, and the Rescue on Kadavo.
Replicating Warthog's distinctive helmet was a definite challenge. Starting with a blank clone pilot helmet, we used a toothpick to mirror the design displayed in "The Clone Wars."
The result was actually a bit better than we had anticipated -- and it has held up through numerous follow-up missions that feature Warthog piloting any number of Rebel or Resistance vehicles into battle.
