The Holocron of C-3PO
The Holocron of C-3PO HoSS Master Set - A New Hope The figure used for this unit is a Star Wars figure from the Rebel Storm set. Its model number and name are #02/C-3PO. ______________________________________________________________ Character Bio - C-3PO, sometimes spelled See-Threepio and often referred to as Threepio, was a bipedal, humanoid protocol droid designed to interact with organics, programmed primarily for etiquette and protocol. He was fluent in over six million forms of communication, and developed a fussy and worry-prone personality throughout his many decades of operation. After being destroyed and discarded on the planet Tatooine before 32 BBY, C-3PO was rebuilt; his salvaged nature gave him special qualities that distinguished him from similar droid models. Along with his counterpart, the astromech droid R2-D2, C-3PO constantly found himself directly involved in pivotal moments of galactic history, and aided in saving the galaxy on many occasions. ______________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications- • N/A ______________________________________________________________ -Combinations and Synergies- Synergy Benefits Received: Classic: • N/A HoSS: • R2-D2 : Astromech Internal Systems As a Droid, C-3PO may benefit from R2-D2's ASTROMECH INTERNAL SYSTEMS special power. • IG-88A : Droid Revolution As a droid, C-3PO may benefit from IG-88A's DROID REVOLUTION turn bonding special power. • IG-88C : Synchronized Assault As a Droid Hero, C-3PO may benefit from IG-88C's SYNCHRONIZED ASSAULT special power.

C-3PO
Rebel Alliance Droid Unique Hero Protocol Precise Medium 5 Life 3 Move 4 Range 1 Attack 0 Defense 1 Points 10 SIX MILLION FORMS OF COMMUNICATION Add 2 to your initiative roll for each species in your army, up to a maximum of +10 for Six Million Forms of Communication. WE'RE DOOMED! If C3PO is the only Hero in your army, C3PO cannot use his Six Million Forms of Communication Special Power and you must subtract 10 from your initiative roll. INSIGNIFICANT When C-3PO or a friendly, small Droid Hero adjacent to C-3PO is targeted for a normal attack from a non-adjacent opponent, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 6 or higher, C-3PO and all friendly, small Droid Heroes adjacent to C-3P0 no longer have any visible hit zones for the duration of the attacking figure's turn. WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! Anytime you move R2-D2, you may move C-3PO up to 4 spaces. Last edited by Porkins; June 29th, 2013 at 06:44 PM. |

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
Oh man... I absolutely love this guy. "We're Doomed!" is perfect; if you're down to C-3PO you're screwed either way, but it makes for a great foil to "Six Million..." and suits him rather well.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
For 10 points, this guy is almost a must have! Looks like a lotta fun!

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
I would say that R2-D2 is a must in most armies, and that C-3P0 makes R2-D2 even better by increasing his survivability, but some armies don't like having C-3P0 because WE'RE DOOMED has a serious risk of backfiring on them. Hero armies definitely like him, though.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
Does WWAYG trigger when R2-D2 moves with his Secret Mission power?

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
Yep. That way Threepio and Artoo are always sticking together.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
This guy has clearly become the number one 10 point filler at my house on game night. I have learned to despise my opponent picking him much worse than Isamu. The last 4 games that my opponent has had him I have not gotten the initiative more than 2 times. This guy is great in just about any army that you need a 10 point filler in. Even if you use him with one other race, that is a plus 4 initiative. He just sits at the back of your startzone and gets you the good stuff. I would not recommend playing the initiative +8 glyph with him on the board. Up to plus 18 on the roll is not too much fun to go up against. All that said, his theme is beautiful, and he is a must to have.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
I agree, he is worth adding in just about any army. The initiative boost is worth 10 points, even if you somehow never win initiative the 10 point investment isn't going to break you.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
Anyone come up with a good, cheap proxy for C-3PO? All of his SW minis are fairly expensive and often out of stock. I've been using random droid figures as a proxy but it would be nice if I had a regular go to proxy figure that looked somewhat like him.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
I found the one sitting in the ewok chair for a buck or two a while back. Instead of 6 plus dollars.
@Yodaking
, I could stand him upright and clone you one. I've been thinking about getting him outta that chair for a while. Check out my latest update on my custom figure mods in my sig.

Re: The Holocron of C-3PO
If you made an Iron Man MKI, he is a pretty good proxy.
