The only place I've seen this character is in the West End Games role-playing game sourcebook (thanks to Steve Kacir for the photocopy!)

The Empire must travel to various worlds and climates to enforce their rules and that's why they need different forms of armor. We have seen the standard armor, the desert-climate, forest-climate, snow-climate, but we haven't seen the underwater-climate armor. Well, I guess this is what it looks like!

Oh, there was a story back in the Marvel comics series that featured the troops is a different uniform...closer to the Snowtrooper gear (maybe a future custom?)

• Biker Scout
  
• Blair from WING COMMANDER (2 tubes)
  
• Episode 1 Underwater Accessory Set (flippers)
  
• Rocketeer (backpack)
  
• G.I.JOE guy (rifle)
  

At first, I was just going to stick a pair of flippers on him and that was it. Then, I found the backpack in an old box of toys that my son had from when he was younger. I also found the little airhoses and I combined them all together.

I cut off the backpack of the Biker Scout and glued this new one onto the back of the figure. The result is that I lost movement in the figure, but that's okay. Then I drilled small holes into the helmet and air tanks and connected the air tubes.

The fun part was when I wanted to have him hold the rifle in both hands. The pose of the original figure was goofy and his arms were bent straight out from his sides. So I cut them off at the elbow and then glued them on in a better pose. BUT, it still wouldn't hold the gun....so I then cut it at a different angle, and decided to insert paperclip pieces into the limbs, which would not only hold them together, but also offer a little flexibility to the joints. TA-DAA! It worked!

Finally,I glued the flippers onto his feet and gave him some dirt and grime to his armor. I figured he might have gotten a bit rusty and slimy from hanging out in the oceans!
