Wow, I don't think anyone actually answered your question accurately. Here's MY interpretation: your asking if there's a difference between the IG troops from the SRO pack and the comic-pack versions? Well, I know the first IG troops from the IG/Destro comic pack were dark, dark black, where the ones in the TRU 3 pack (the SRO pack) were slightly lighter, almost charcoal in color, with the exception of all black paint apps, which were of course black. The new comic pack with the IG/Viper combo seems to be the same as the SRO pack (that is, the body is slightly off-black), and the red pistol is painted a simple black. Those are the three different ones. It's not a huge difference, but was one I noticed, myself, when I put them all together.
I believe that's what the question was, yes? The purple-highlight one from the SRO pack is obviously different from the rest; all the others are done with red! And there is one more variation on the Iron Grenadier in the Viper comic pack vs. the pack with Destro. My brother Powered Convoy pointed it out to me...but where the 1st chain attaches from the sword to the belt, there is red painted over the top of the belt to give it a more "finished" look, where the original comic pack version leaves that part the unpainted gold color. |

Yes, the new SRO pack IG has been painted in 15 coats of house paint so you cannot make out any of the details. The new SRO packs have the worse paint apps I have ever seen on a toy!!!!

It makes more sense considering that (a) the red one was originally the Trooper, (b) the box on the SRO was messed up and can't even be taken on Hasbro's word, as Destro has 4 arms on the back of the packaging, (c) they keep giving us red ones and not purple ones!
It would be great to see 15 officers giving 1 trooper orders. |

I've got the SRO and the new IG/Viper CP, and the SRO has a darker, more shiny red with a charcoal, matte body, while the CP is brighter, more matte red with a shinier black body. And contrary to Angrypandaink's, my CP one has way too much paint, (his elbow was painted shut, and some flaked off when I bent it) and the SRO is damn near perfect.

Obviously the purple was meant to be the Officer.
It would be stupid to make a pack that includes an Officer and Trooper and intend the Trooper to be the odd color and the Officer to match the already released Troopers.
