Clone flame trooper



The Flame troopers were a special branch of clone troopers that specialized in the use of BT X-42 heavy Republic flamethrowers as well as other incendiary weapons. Flame troopers wore specialized armor designed to counter heat that they were often in. They were present during the Second Battle of Geonosis. Their successors were the Imperial Incinerator troopers.

History
During the Second Battle of Geonosis, a squad of clone troopers and flame troopers led by Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi were trapped in a cave "detour" that Mundi had chosen on their way to a landing zone. Inside, they were confronted by thirty-odd Geonosian warriors, but the flame troopers were able to hold the warriors off with their BT X-42 flamethrowers long enough for Mundi and the other clone troopers to disable the entire group. They were successful in reaching the landing zone with light casualties.

Behind the Scenes
Strangely the armor worn by flame troopers have the same design of the armor of Clone cold assault trooper. Considering the environmental extremes, this armor probably altered to help protect the wearer from heat instead of the cold.
