What stormtrooper do you fear the most and why?

I wanted to make this a poll, but there are way too many variants! They are as bad as TIE fighters.... hey maybe I should start a TIE fighter thread.

But first, I would like to know what the board thinks about stormtroopers. Who is the one you run from?

No contest here. Storm Commandos take the cake and slit the baker's throat without anyone noticing.

It's been a long standing tradition in the games of my group, if you need to up the ante and instill the fear of GM into your players, you drop a couple of Men in Black into the fray. In the beginning we simply used them as powerful Stormies, but in time we learned to use them properly as stealthy, cunning commandos. I think the best battles we've had in our long years of gaming have been against those versatile shadow troopers. Setting up explosives, monofilament wire traps, wielding garrotes from darkened corners, or powerful carbines from across a corridor. Hiding in the shadows and sneaking around you. Gotta love them.

Their inclusion alone makes Fragments from the Rim one of mu favourite books.

It's a tie.

Imperial Storm Commands, cause as Gry said, cake stealing and throat slitting.

The only thing matching them in fear factor is: The Imperial Royal Guard.
These guys are insane... and after reading the Crimson Empire series. (2 TPBs) The intensity of their training regiment is just insane. The stats in the books reflect only the bare bare minimum of their butt kickery.

Yes, Royal Guards are badass. The problem is that it's terribly unlikely your group will ever face them.

If you read through Rules of Engagement, the IRG are rotated into the various stormtrooper divisions to keep their skills sharp. So, if the GM decided, the PCs could be facing down some terribly badass stormtroopers wearing the normal stormtrooper armor. And the PCs might not realize it til after they either kill the guard, or do some investigating.

Very true. The whole "rotating elite troopers" thing was one of WEG's sneakier moves.

I'd most fear stormtroopers run by PCs. And I know they're out there.

I've had a player play one once. It was a lot of fun... he was a scary man...
Seventeen is what he was called.

Also, a viable option.

These stormtroopers are pretty creepy if you ask me:
