And there were a mix of Scarif and regular Stormteoopers in their garrison? Just a reason to make more toys? Don't get me wrong, it worked. I collect the Troopers so I have both and they look cool. Just wondering if anyone has come up with an actual reason for them.
I guess they're actually considered "shoretroopers" for tropical environments. I guess they have regular stormtroopers maybe for inside the base and ones that are part of the crew of a ship stopping over versus the shoretroopers that patrol outside? I mean, this is all a guess. In reality, I think it's just fun to have different designs for different climates.
Let's face it, we all know it's to sell more toys
HOWEVER!
"Shoretrooper" was the first name I saw mentioned for the troops on scarif, so if I had to guess myself, I'd agree that the vanilla troopers were for inside the base/deployment/security while the Shoretroopers got outside duties.
