scottdm62[TK] Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 I was watching ANH the other day on an airplane. Now that I am committed to becoming a TK I now watch more closely at the armor. I noticed for the first time that the stormtroopers in this photo has no thermal detonator. Is that the hero version I hear about? If not Please set this noob straight. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

It seems that the one stormtrooper had no canister but rather had a grappling hook on his belt. That would be the one Luke dons in A New Hope. There is a post somewhere that references that not all Stormtroopers had the O2 / Thermal Detonator canister... 1 Quote

As Ted mention there is a grappling hook visible however, though there's no TD shown in this seen it is a required part of the armor as a whole IF you do not have the grappling hook installed. Hope that makes sense. Quote
scottdm62[TK] Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Posted September 21, 2016 Just caught me off guard. I rewind it a few times to look at it. So that is the "hero" part of the TK and the rest is the same? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
kayelbe[501st] Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 The helmets are different. Take a look through one of the "ANH/Hero" builds elsewhere on this site. Quote
scottdm62[TK] Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Posted September 21, 2016 Copy. Thank you all. I am waiting until Q1 for my Anvoso Stormtroopers kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
