He could totally be a mini boss for the Imperial storyline in Battlefront or something. Could be named.....Sergeant Max Flexton...or some other buff sounding name.
The backstory writes itself. Sergeant flexton was originally a professional bodybuilder from Alderaan. Whenever people would say "Alderaan is a peaceful planet" he's sneer and say "Yeah but Alderaan can bench more than coruscant, bro." Unfortunately for Max, tragedy struck when Alderaan was destroyed by the Empire. Max was offworld at the time participating in the planetary weightlifting championship on Kashyyyk. When he heard, he cried a single buff tear and ripped his shirt off. The next say he sought out the rebellion and became a fleet trooper because he liked how their blue shirts showed off his arms. He was always loyal to Princess Leia even though he secretly believed she could stand to gain a bit on her arms and now he would serve under her while he finds vengeance for his destroyed planet. He prefers to use two weapons at once because he doesn't want one of his arms to get an uneven workout. When stormtroopers break through the airlock of his ship, they usually see him standing in the hallway and apologize.
Naturally Sergeant Flexton should have a stronger unarmed attack. And his unarmed attack should add suppression tokens and Ion tokens. And when he defeats a character with a melee attack, all enemy units with line of sight should get a suppression token. Naturally he would have Arsenal 2 and stats for both his weapons on the card. He should have inspire for his fellow fleet trooper units and all fleet troopers within 1-3 of him gain an extra black dice on their unarmed attacks because he's always happy to be somebody's personal trainer during his off hours.
What do you guys think? Pretty cool figure idea right?
This guy should have his own figure.
Uh....
Seems legit to me
Needz moar kung-fu grip.
Pretty sure there’s a joke in there about “serving under Leia“and “it’s leg day!”...
Up until the wave after that guy all the males in the power of the force line had that body.

Yes. The so-called Soloflex era.
Also what do you mean he "should" have his own figure? That thing IS an action figure.

A playable Legion figure
Yup. Lando looked more like Carl Weathers. Luke looked like Dolph Lundgren.
We called them Han in steroids, Luke in steroids... there were so horrible that right now my untouchable collection of 1000+ star wars toys has got an exception: these figures are now my toddler toys...

All kidding aside, you bring up a good point. I still maintain that for all their silliness, these are some of the best actual TOYS they ever made, from a pure standpoint of play value and kid's hands. You usually got two weapons in case you lost one, the weapons were bigger and thus harder to lose, and so on.
He'd be a great counterpart to Bob the comms technician.

I'd rather see her:

Kira Lar.. one of the few redeeming qualities of the wotc rpg run was they had some real good art commissioned early on.
I may sculpt her myself for kicks
I mean, there already is an figure for them... you could probably just slap a base of each foot and run them as a ten-foot commander.
