First Order Jet Trooper — Star Wars The Black Series #99

Overview

Red Line #99 is the First Order Jet Trooper — the rocket-pack equipped First Order infantry specialist from The Rise of Skywalker, deployed in the aerial combat sequences of the film’s climactic battle on Exegol. The Jet Trooper is the Red Line’s final numbered figure: #99, the last slot in the sequence that began with Finn at #01 in 2015 and closes four years later with a TROS army builder at #99. The sequence ends not with a major named character or a franchise milestone figure but with a trooper — the line’s fundamental unit, the figure type most essential to a collector’s Imperial or First Order force display.

The Jet Trooper Design

The Jet Trooper’s defining feature is the integrated rocket pack — the back-mounted propulsion unit that enables aerial deployment and the specific airborne combat role in TROS’s Exegol battle. The white First Order armour base is the standard Stormtrooper template, with the rocket pack as the single major addition that creates the specialist variant.

The figure’s articulation at 19 joints enables the forward-lean poses appropriate to a figure whose operational mode is flight. The rocket pack sculpt is the most complex element of the overall figure construction — the integrated back unit with its nozzles and fuel connections creating a silhouette that reads immediately as flight-capable even in static shelf display.

Red Line #99 and What the Sequence Was

The Red Line numbered sequence ran from 2015 to 2019 — 99 figures across four years, covering five films, two animated series, two video games, one streaming series, and comics. Starting with the new trilogy’s first characters (TFA wave) and expanding systematically outward until the production decisions reflected the franchise’s full scope rather than any single era’s priorities.

The Jet Trooper at #99 is both an appropriate and an accidentally perfect closing figure. It is not a famous character; it is not a fan-voted favourite; it is not a milestone release. It is a First Order trooper with a rocket pack. The sequence closes with exactly the kind of anonymous, armoured, formation-essential figure that the line had been producing since its first wave — a reminder that the backbone of the Black Series is army builders, not heroes.

The Last Slot’s Context

Every numbered slot in the Red Line told a collector story. #01 was Finn on Jakku, the new trilogy’s first human face. #99 is a rocket trooper in white armour, whose name we will never know. Between them: ninety-seven figures covering every era, every genre, every character type the franchise had produced in its first forty years. The Jet Trooper’s specific anonymity at #99 makes it the right ending for a sequence whose ambition was always to be comprehensive rather than curated.

Four Jet Trooper Releases

First Order Jet Trooper #99 (2019) — this figure: The standard Red Line release. First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) (2019). Sith Jet Trooper (2020): TROS Sith variant with crimson armour. Battlefront II Jet Trooper (2021): Video game configuration.

Secondary Market

Available at modest secondary market prices — army builder demand, four releases spread the collecting. No production variants documented.

Verdict

The final numbered Red Line figure. Buy for the TROS First Order aerial combat display, the rocket-pack army builder configuration, or to complete the Red Line numbered sequence in full.

What #99 Closing on an Army Builder Says

The Red Line numbered sequence’s final figure being an army builder — anonymous, armoured, formation-essential — is either an accident of production timing or the most accurate possible statement about what the line is for. Both readings are valid.

As accident: Hasbro produced the figures that the TROS wave required, assigned them the next available numbers, and #99 happened to be a Jet Trooper. No curation involved. As statement: the line began with heroes (Finn, Rey, Kylo, Phasma) and closed with a soldier, and that closing on the anonymous figure type rather than the named character type is accurate to what the Black Series has always been — a comprehensive catalogue that honours the franchise’s unnamed as well as named contributors.

The Stormtrooper was at #04 (Orange Wave), #48 (Repack), #97 (Riot Control), and now #99 (Jet Trooper). The franchise’s most fundamental figure type appears at the sequence’s beginning, middle, and end. This is correct.

The Rocket Pack as the Red Line’s Final Engineering Detail

The Jet Trooper’s integrated rocket pack is the sequence’s last specific articulation and engineering note: no separate accessory, no separate vehicle, but an integrated back unit that is part of the figure’s permanent construction. The pack communicates the figure’s function permanently and visually at any display distance.

In the context of #01’s Jakku jacket and #99’s rocket pack — the Red Line’s first detail and last detail — the contrast is the sequel trilogy’s visual range. From a scavenger’s repurposed flight gear to a formation soldier’s professional propulsion unit: the franchise covered in ninety-nine numbered slots.

The Jet Trooper at #99 is the end. The Red Line numbered sequence — 99 figures from #01 Finn Jakku (2015) to #99 First Order Jet Trooper (2019) — closes on this rocket-pack equipped anonymous soldier. The sequence covered every era of the franchise up to 2019, every major film, three animated series, video games, comics, and streaming television. The Jet Trooper didn’t ask to be the sequence’s final figure. But it is the correct one: anonymous, armed, formation-essential, doing the work.

No production variants documented for the standard First Edition. The Jet Trooper is the only Red Line figure numbered #99 — the sequence has exactly 99 numbered slots, runs from #01 to #99, and is complete. The Red Line is done. What follows — Phase 4, the Galaxy Collection, subsequent waves — is a different chapter of the Black Series story.
