Is it officially time to start voting yet? I was going to make one more quick change...
EDIT: The slight change was altering the "Coruscant Guard" ability to say that he counts as being named "Coruscant Guard Clone Trooper" for the purpose of Special Abilities - so he qualifies for Squad stuff. (It was previously just a designation like "Wookiee" or "Hapan"). I don't want to give him flat-out "Counts as being named Coruscant Guard Clone Trooper," because otherwise he gets +10 Damage from Bacara - I thought that might be a bit much.

Some great pieces out there and look forward to voting. Sorry I can't be more critiquing, new dad life and stuff. But for my entry I'm going with the medic.

Well, I Still can't make up my mind and only one person's commented on them (Thanks CC) so I guess I'll eat breakfast and Then decide.
EDIT - Well, I Still can't make up my mind, but even though CC likes Riot Boy, something about Stun Baton Still bugs me so I'm going with the Clone Trooper Ordnance Specialist .....

First In ....
Dumbledore Calrissian - Veteran Clone; easy to call him a 7, but in reality he's still a 12.
General_Grievous Medic; Like the idea (made one myself) but I think the Emergency ability makes him more a Doc than a medic; could've been cheaper without it too.
CC - Thorn; Like the idea about the Coruscant Guard, but like my Riot Clone, he still seems a work in progress.
donnyrides - Explosives-engineer; Cut out Satchel on mine with so much access; Understand Flak but it ups his price
Caedus - Arc-trooper-a-17--alpha; Nice piece, surprised he hasn't been done.
Warev Ririp - Commander-vill; Interesting idea (contingency) but not a fan of giving out abilities you don't have yourself.
>Jase< - Clone Scout: Nice idea, the Scout, that spotter just feels weird.
Kamikaze13 - Juggernaut. It's probably as fair a representation as any but impractical.
Lafcadio - Scuba Clone; Kinda busy, ability wise and still not sure of his niche
spryguy1981 - 501st Legion Sniper; Hmmm, He's a sniper without the sniper ability ....
Votes
>Jase< 3rd Place 1 pt.
GG 2nd Place 2 pts.
Caedus 1st Place 3pts

Sorry I failed on concrit during the design phase this week, some of these comments would have been more useful earlier  Dumbledore Calrissian's Veteran Clone Trooper: Very cool piece, but too powerful - even with the best pieces, 30 HP is a stretch for 7 points, especially with base 20 damage and an epic damage negation. General_Grievous's Clone Trooper Medic: Nice and simple, not too much going on, and a nice step towards a useful hero. donnyrides's Clone Trooper, Explosives Engineer: Nice theme with some cool tricks (Flak Shield with Mines is a nice touch  ). I wonder if he might be a little fragile for 24 points? But there are plenty of ways to protect him. Caedus's ARC Trooper A-17, Alpha 36: I like Uniques that are self-sufficient but affordable, and this guy nails it. Grenades 30 is a nice CE for the ARCs, but I think I'd even be willing to use him by himself almost. The camaraderie is cool, too (although Camaraderie usually has to hand out at least one ability the person themselves has - but that's no big deal for customs). Warev Ririp's Commander Vill: Great flavor, and a nice design, but he's a little too niche for my liking - I think he could have had base 20 damage without too much trouble. His CE is really cool, but again too specific for my play style - but he'll be awesome in era-correct battles. Jase's Clone Scout Trooper: As mentioned above, I like budget-friendly self-sufficiency, and this piece really hits the spot, so to speak. Others said Mobile and Spotter is odd, and it is weird to have his focus split between being a good attacker and a good spotter. I totally would have gone with Donny's advice and swap Mobile for Intuition, I think he'd be a little more worth 12 points that way. Kamekaze13's A6 Juggernaut: Wow. That's big. Nice idea, if a little overwhelming. I should have mentioned this sooner, but Relentless really kills a piece's effectiveness - although still being able to shoot any direction is great. But you get an A for flavor. Lafcadio's Clone SCUBA Trooper: Very unique idea, way to tackle the idea of having water in SWMinis. I'm kind of hesitant on the cost; he's costed about right for what he does, but this is the kind of piece that I'd like to spam, and he's too big of a piece to do that with. But the custom abilities are all great. spryguy1981's 501st Legion Sniper: He's got that elegant simplicity that's so awesome. I think I actually like him better than the ARC Sniper, I love Careful Shot. surf_rider56's Clone Trooper Ordnance Specialist: Lots of nice abilities, and really well-balanced. Kinda fragile, but that's just how tech rolls in this game. Also, nice call on Prox Mines instead of Grenades, he'd be a real pain with Tarpals otherwise. 3rd (1 pt): Spryguy19812nd (2 pts): >Jase<1st ( 3 pts): CaedusHonorable mention goes to General_Grievous, that was a pretty slick healer. Oh, and after all of my flailing around trying to get the right piece out there, I thought of this: http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/25643/501st-legion-shieldbearer

Really nice pieces for a subfaction that really gets overlooked for their importance, unless they were on the Clone Wars series
I don't like to beat a dead horse on critiques (it really isnt my place), so I will just go with my vote and why.
3rd Place goes to >Jase< Nice piece. Yes the Mobile spotter is a bit off, but still a sound piece.
2nd surf Excellent Piece very nice tech for a subfaction that is a MILITARY subfaction.
1st GG Awesome. I love the Dbl Heal option it gives. Used with the ERC's and they could live forever!! lol

1st (3pts): CorellianComedian I love quadruple attack and long shot! And good CE!
2nd (2pts): General_Grievous A very useful support piece for a very good price!
3rd (1pt): donnyrides Just a great flavor overall! I love your idea of blowing down a door and then firing missiles through it!
Good job all!
Also, @CC: I LOVE the shieldbearer! That probably would have gotten my vote too if you had thought of it sooner! Great piece!

Dumbledore Calrissian - I like the thought process of a new basic vanilla trooper, and your reasoning of the B2 comparison makes sense, but I think there is enough support for Order 66 and the basic trooper in general (several different rapports, CEs, SAs, etc) that the classic vanilla trooper still has a place amongst his brethren and this guy would completely replace him and should maybe cost a hair more. But the new special ability is sweet though.
CorellianComedian - Sweet piece, a new take on what is becoming the staple clone commander design. And very epic piece. I always pictured him with enraged reactions but this seems to fit better.
donnyrides - wow, feels a bit like a spec force piece here and he almost has to much going on but it all fits so well together. Great job!
Caedus - Yes Alpha! Points alone just for the classic Clone Wars comics. Very cool design, feels like a Cad Bane light version. And grenades are true to his character. Excellent work.
Warev Ririp - A lot of situational abilities and CEs but cool for newness in that sense.
>Jase< - Mobile seems tricky to work with improved and maybe something like getting better cover would have worked better with this build but improved spotter is needed for the many snipers. Cool idea.
Kamekaze13 - Ok, this is really outside the box, and may still need some tweaking (I would give him a more likely form of reserves, Krell's version of immediate maybe. But heck yes this is awesome.
Lafcadio - Someone that can enter Pits! Sweet! Great job here.
spryguy1981 - Simple but effective sniper. Perfect as is.
surf_rider56 Again awesome design and great synergy this round. Nice job.
Very hard to decide this one as there are so many sweet entries, in the end I had to go with:
3rd CC
2nd Spry
1st Kamekaze
