To help serve the 15th Anniversary Week of SWAT to your satisfaction, today we bring to you some special content. We came in touch with the army’s creator Ganger90 to learn more about the army’s foundation and his views on it.
This is a daily drop.
What motivated you to open the Special Weapons and Tactics Army back in 2009?
“What motivated me to create this great army was the close friendship and brotherhood the original rogues of Mammoth had established before even being an organized army. I wanted to bring that same group together to challenge and beat the best of CPA, which they went onto do time and time again. My vision has always been for the army to live long beyond my leadership and be a beacon of opportunity for the rising new generations of CPA”
Ganger90 SWAT Creator
Do you see yourself leading the army once again in the foreseeable future?
“I do feel that I have done all that I can for SWAT as a Leader throughout time and I don’t see myself coming back to lead again however you will always wish you had done more under your leadership, that’s why I hope to influence the next generation to make the best of it while they can and give it all they got. Don’t get it twisted, I have always been and always will be there for SWAT in the future but as far as leading I don’t see myself coming back to be the leader I once was, it’s not realistic unfortunately at this point in life”
Ganger90 SWAT Creator
How are you feeling during SWAT’s 15th Anniversary Week?
“For the 15th anniversary week it has me feeling very nostalgic, it’s crazy to think that all this started so long ago and yet still a community that stays true to tradition and the virtues of SWAT is still alive to this day. I am thankful and happy that the community has become a home to so many great people over the years.”
Ganger90 SWAT Creator
Which memories from the army were your favorite?
“For me personally, you know that my history goes wayyy back with this army. I like to reminisce back to when we became an official army and upset ACP in the Semi Finals, the many wars we went onto fight against each other. From more recent times, SWAT retaining the number 1 position with new leaders and maxing 40+ once again after a 7 year hiatus from #1. The new troops that we have introduced to the community in the discord era and gone on to run the army, become great leaders and vital parts of the army is something I always hold close to the heart as well”
Ganger90 SWAT Creator
What is your message to the community?
“My message to the community would be to stay true to yourself, never stop believing in yourself and the army that you come from. Don’t run with the circus, they all get made clowns when the lights are bright enough. Have fun with CPA while you can, there will be a time when your journey will be over, but your army’s journey can go far past yours and that is the ultimate goal. Loyalty always outvalues everything and it’s what makes a real army, a real brotherhood. Anything else is artificial and will prove itself over time. You can accomplish anything in life, put your mind to it focus and work hard. SWAT Forever!”
Ganger90 SWAT Creator
Looking at Ganger90’s responses, it appears with clarity that he is confident of a brighter future for the army. With his powerful wisdom, we are powered with advice from one who has been in the army since the dawn of its time. Thank you, Ganger90, for responding to the interview.
Happy 15th Anniversary, SWAT! The SWAT Corporation
Greetings! I am Fun X Time, formerly and popularly known as Krill 300. This post is being written to define my fourth year of awesomeness. You heard it right.
I describe the glorious years with You, Ganger90, Coolguy, Sweater, Sammie, Sophie, Lego, Mare, Aubz, Ethan, L90, William, Aisha, and I.
Ganger90, Coolguy, Sweater, Sammie, and Sophie
I joined SWAT on June 15, 2020 in the evening when Ganger90 recruited me. I was developing my Club Penguin private server (CPPS) named Club Penguin Deck, and got Ganger to bribe me for having an event on my beautiful CPPS. Coolguy was the first to welcome me when I joined! The size of our Discord server was less than 300. Sorry for intervening your conversation, Sweater! I pass my deepest gratitude to Sweater, Sammie, and Sophie, though. They were the first to welcome me. It did not seem that anyone felt I would become a leader soon, except Dwain. When I joined, I almost threatened to leave the server, wondering if it was a good army!
Subsequently, Sweater sent me a friend request. Meantime, I showed my love to Carl-bot because it was one I loved in the early days. Now my favorites are Dyno and Sapphire!
Lego, Mare and Aubz
Here is what happened. I was talking in a chat once, and saw a person named Legoman getting an instant promotion to leadership. I had acquainted him for a few days and was confused how he managed to get leadership in less than a month! Following this, I eventually saw Mare to the leadership. I never realized she was ever promoted. The same case was with Aubz. I must agree, Lego, Mare, and Aubz had certainly shaped my future! I pass my gratitude to them.
I was promoted to Second-in-Command by Mare in 2021. It was a historic moment. Time flied very quickly, and by 2021 I learnt to lead events.
Ethan, L90, William, Aisha, and Coolguy
By the end of 2022, I couldn’t participate much as there weren’t much AUSIA events. However, I did get a chance and was nominated in the elections. I was Leader-in-Training by now, but was later demoted. In the first 15 days of March 2023, I failed to send a single message in SWAT. I had announced a temporary leave due to my annual examinations. Ethan, L90, and William were quite influential. Aisha, too, was one great leader.
When Coolguy retired, he said that I am the future and I will need to step up and put in more effort. This was the turning point. And, I am certainly grateful to Coolguy, as well as others for their cooperation.
Me and You
The greatest time period I have been in. The support you all have been giving is of utmost value. World War IX had hit us. SWAT failed to rejuvenate with its current leadership. In late June 2024, a went into a ridiculous argument with Sweater. Certainly, I admit I should have not deleted some custom roles! However, Legoman did not want to see me go. Fwapo enters the scene. At around 8 o’ clock in the evening, he messages me stating that I will eventually return. This will made me realize that I must.
Here I am! I am now a leader! I was promoted to Leader-in-Training again by Ganger90 at the Trick or Treat Tournament in October 2023. And, on November 15, 2023, I was promoted to leader after leading an event by Legoman. Fwapo and Bull Hour joined in the leadership an hour later, too! It was a glorious moment. It proved my work, and insisted me to continue the efforts.
These four years were certainly glorious and unforgettable. I will continue my efforts in SWAT and help it reach a height at which no one can criticize. Thank you.
“People will criticize your efforts. Climb so high that you will not see them.”

Legoman, Most commonly known as SWAT’s Greatest Leader, a SWAT Godfather and SWAT’s 71st Commander by many, with numerous badges to show! He currently is Legend in 6 armies, including SWAT, PIC, Island Invaders, Skateboarders, Magma Clan and LMA. He has won Best S/M Leader, Best Org Head, Best Allied Leader from Templars, Class Clown, POTY Runner up in 2022 and 2023, Biggest Ego, Sarbinger Of Chaos, Biggest Personality, Arbiter of Anarchy, Best Ally From PIC, And Best Leader. He is also the first SWAT Godfather to be inducted in the CPPS Era. Some people could say he is a Club Penguin Legend with the amount of hard work he has done for many armies. He is loved by most and can be a little vocal about topics, the man is a legend. But in today’s post, we get to talk to the man of the hour! In this post, you will get to learn more about Legoman and his accomplishments, stories and much more.
Both photos show SWAT shining proudly on Club Penguin with the help of Legoman.
Photo of Legoman’s army unironically called “LEGOMAN ARMY” or LMA for short.
If you didn’t know, Lego has been in more armies than you can count on your fingers and has had a lot to SWAT in the past 3 years. This man worked so hard for SWAT to still have us here. Not saying he is the only reason, but he is a major reason of SWATs rise in 2021 and helping to win 2 wars in 2023. Another major thing he has done is lead SWAT to #1 Twice after 7 years of not doing so. It’s not an easy task to do these days with big armies emerging.
SWAT achieving #1 for the first time in 7 years.

Interview Time with Legoman We talked to Lego to ask him about his club penguin time and SWAT. Here is what he replied to us.
ggogle: Hello Legoman! I am here to interview you about your time with SWAT! I have just a couple questions for you if you would like to answer. When did you join Club penguin and the Armies? Any experiences that made you join?
Lego: I joined on Club Penguin Armies on March 16, 2020 via CPO when I saw the Light Troops my user was TalhaIsDad and UncleC123. I thought they looked cool at the Iceberg. I wasn’t extremely active as I was prioritizing working out with my brother and playing LEGO games on my Wii. Eventually, I got into a VC in Dark Warriors on CPArmies.net where I was shown how to use the new CPPS. This was especially entertaining considering my intention was to troll and get banned. If I correctly recall they were led by Julia, Megann, Spotty and Noa during this time. I enjoyed my time there until I was troop-stolen into the Ice Warriors through there. Ice Warriors leadership consisted of Regan, Flamez64, Alexandra, Madhav2 and Ben. Ironically enough my first event on CPArmies.net was a practice battle between the Ice Warriors and Dark Warriors, funny how that worked out. I would eventually create my own army known as LEGOMAN ARMY HOO RAH! to obtain name-glow on CPArmies.net, and thus my unquenchable desire for publicity began.

If you didn’t know, Legoman made LMA, but not only him it was made with Cassie and Ninja’s Help created July 29th, 2020, and lasted until October of 2020. LMA was for the jokes and reached a top max of 32 and this showed Lego could lead with his own army (with the help of his buddies.)
Various photos of LMA in its Prime
ggogle: Very interesting! When did you join SWAT and what made you join?
Lego: I joined SWAT on August 11, 2020 VC with good friend Mare and was immediately dragged into HCOM VC. Upon my joining Ganger90 said “who is legoman? lol hes def not hcom here.” I would go on to attend every single battle of the Eagre Foray war, as well as earn First Responder and lead a few tactics about Cliff being 14. I loved the war and to this date it’s one of my favorite wars I’ve participated in. I would soon go on to match the recruiting of Ganger90 and average 50+ recruits every day of that war garnering my promotion to Third-In-Command. I would VC lead battles and got Troop of the Week for two months straight and would be promoted to Second-In-Command shortly thereafter. By February 7, 2021, I was made the 71st Commander-In-Chief by an election in the army, this was one day after I led the first ever HTML5 practice battle. For my entire first month of leadership SWATs max did not dip below 25. We then fought against Templars in month long war that we won.
“hes def not hcom here”
This is a picture from Operation: Templaria Aka the 10th Great Holy War.
ggogle: Oh wow! What are your accomplishments in Club Penguin Armies? What are some new goals you might want to accomplish?
Lego: My accomplishments are quite lengthy – as evidenced on my tyrannical eccentric penguin – so I’ll stick to the most important ones. I was the first leader of SWAT to have us reach #1 in the CPPS Era after almost 7 years. I was the first SWAT Godfather to be inducted in the CPPS Era. I led SWAT to max 67 USUK and 48 AUSIA throughout my tenure and brought SWAT to be one of the warmongers of the community. In 2023 SWAT had Third Place in most battles only losing to the First-Place winners by five battles. I was voted SWATs Best Commander of 2023 as well as Most Achieved, Best Designer and Best Recruiter for the year of 2022. As far as community wide achievements, I have been dubbed Person of the Year Runner-Up for two consecutive years, as “The Tenacious Target” in 2022 and “The Duke of Infamy” in 2023. In addition, I was voted Best S/M Army Leader 3 consecutive summers, as well as finally being recognized as a S/M Army Legend Nominee in 2023 among my many vast trophies I have accrued from various armies. I have no future goals for Club Penguin Armies, I am retired and have accomplished more than most in my 3-Year tenure. I have been in talk with SWAT Veteran Firestar08 about certain things but only time will heed that result.
Various Awards of Legoman.
ggogle: Look at you Mr. Achiever! Are there any stories you want to share with your time in SWAT?
Lego: There are many stories, but I believe this is one of my personal favorites. Throughout my leadership in 2023 I sought to give each troop a compliment after every event to recognize them for all of their help. After one event I asked if anyone wanted to do compliments for a change, this resulted in Ggogle, Akio, Mickey Mouse among others bickering over who would get to compliment everyone. That was a very wholesome moment for me personally to see the staff really want to recognize all of their fellow SWAT troops. Another story would be 2021 where Firestar08 and I held the best AUSIA event ever, as well as our John Walker takeovers with SWAT Godfather Stare3000. Speaking of Stare3000 who many know as Oli, they once told me that as one of SWATs first troops they never felt comfortable leaving the army because they didn’t know if it would survive. They told me they didn’t ready to leave until they saw my dedication and knew I would do everything in my power to keep SWAT afloat. They retired and deleted discord altogether the next day, and I was promoted to Commander-In-Chief. Other funny moments include Monkey Dance Swag, Ninjago takeover, Mare doing her nails during a battle, Destiny770, Aubz being a queen, my first coup in 2021 and the funny LEGO videos I made as a result, recruiting my 79-year-old grandpa Poppy, and of course the living legend JoeyJumanji3208.

Lego was given Commander 02/07/21 with a post along interviewing him in 2021. If you want to read it Check it out here! After a year or so, Lego is inducted as a Legend along with Coolguy. Click here to read about it!
While I don’t have any photo to show of Lego complementing people, from personal experience he has done it many times and did complement EVERYONE who played for the battle in VC. Got to be a very heartwarming story.
Real footage of Legoman going into office.
ggogle: Some fun stories!! What is something you want people to know about yourself? Lego: I sing, and I sing well. I have had the honor of performing at CFG Bank Arena in 2024 with Opera Legend Andrea Bocceli, the World Culture Festival in Washington DC in 2023, I was the first person to ever represent my old high school at the International Thespian Festival in 2022. I work in the Music Department of my school as well as being employed as the Bass Section Leader of a local church and working as a member of a caroling group which goes to various retirement homes across the DMV area spreading cheer. I have sung in English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Latin and Hebrew, and continue to explore the vast range music has to offer.
A video of Lego singing.
Look at that! Lego gave an amazing response to every answer! Thank you, Lego, for your time and responding to me. Well. there you have it! Lego wanted me to add “Add something about Aisha meowing for attention and being my ewife.” There you go. Lego has shown and told us that he has accomplished a lot through his time in Club Penguin. He is currently the only SWAT Godfather of the CPPS As he stated he is currently retired but time will tell what happens! We will get back on that soon. This is the first Interview from me so if you like it, be supportive or something! Until next time, ggogle out!
