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.

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.

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.

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!

At Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), we have faith in possessing friendly relations and coordinating with each other to acquire best. SWAT officially allied with the Dark Vikings (DV) on 1st January 2024. Read on to know more!
On 1st February 2024, SWAT would like to announce this relationship between the armies. SWAT has lately been experiencing a lot of practice battles with DV. These practice battles sound beneficial and will contribute to our improvement!
Dark Vikings is a populous army in the army community that seems to have improved over the weeks. SWAT appreciates this alliance with a team of experienced members of the army community embedded in their leadership.
We questioned the leaders at Dark Vikings, and we have brought to you several answers that one leader wanted to share with you!
What are the reasons for the alliance?
“Our SWAT squad and your organisation have formed an agreement because we both want to improve public safety and security. The combination of resources, skills, and people enables us to address difficulties more effectively and adapt to varied situations with better efficiency. Our alliance’s aggregate strength allows us to tackle complicated issues that individual teams may not be able to handle.”
— MtJordan II, Dark Vikings Leader
Do you find any benefits from the alliance?
“The collaboration provides numerous benefits for both parties concerned. Collaboration allows for the exchange of best practices, knowledge, and specialised skills, resulting in a continual learning environment. Our teams’ combined competencies result in a stronger, more resilient force that can adapt to evolving threats. Furthermore, the alliance serves as a venue for joint training activities, strengthening interoperability and teamwork among our people.”
— MtJordan II, Dark Vikings Leader
How do you expect the alliance to progress?
“We envision the alliance moving forward through ongoing communication, collaboration, and shared strategic planning. Regular meetings and information sharing will be critical in staying on track to achieve mutual objectives. As the alliance grows, we plan to explore new channels for collaboration, broaden the scope of joint operations, and strengthen our combined influence on the safety and well-being of the communities we serve.”
— MtJordan II, Dark Vikings Leader
With great hopes, SWAT and DV expect their relationship to be paramount one day. With predicted hope, both communities have faith in the potential of the relationship! Let us hope it holds!

Concluding January 2024
This section serves as a comprehensive summary of the events that unfolded in January. While acknowledging room for improvement, it’s undeniable that the month began with a banger, with notable returns and promotions!
The seasoned member, often mentioned as the “old goat,” has rejoined the family after a stint elsewhere. Initially joining in a confidential capacity, this individual made the significant decision to return. He was ggogle, who joined as Major General in the LCOM. Later, he was promoted to Third-in-Command in the HCOM. January 2024 also saw Commander-in-Chief Fwapo‘s return, who had been on a short-term break.
SWAT engaged in a practice battle with its new ally, Dark Vikings (DV), displaying commendable performance despite the loss. SWAT also partook in the New Year Bonanza 2024 (NYB 2024) tournament. The tournament battle saw courageous participation and fierce competition.
Our statistics were not well compared to December 2023. However, in the latter of the month, SWAT seemed to recover itself. It is believed that newer enlistments, army switches, and returns have improved SWAT’s statistics. This month saw its highest concurrent participation count (“max”), 15, during the New Year Bonanza 2024 tournament. It’s imperative for all agents to be proactive, stay engaged, and contribute actively to secure victories. Let’s focus on enhancing our recruiting, enlisting, and promotional efforts. Overall, SWAT has well done!
Agent of the Month: January 2024
We would like to congratulate Zooy, SWAT Second-in-Command for winning Agent of the Month for January 2024! They are an agent who shows their determination and responsibility!
The medal acquired by Zooy for winning Season 2, achieving Agent of the Month for the month of January 2024.
Always remember that anyone can forward their name in this section by showing courage and determination in SWAT!
Season 3: Near North
Season 3: Near North is a constructive story portraying on Sensei’s arrival, Sensei’s rival Tusk, foundation of the Dojo, The Great Storm of 2008, the Mountain Expedition, and more!
In Season 3, no changes in season missions were seen in comparison to Season 2. There are a total of 8 missions to complete!
After all the blues seen, Sensei chooses to find a new abode. Although, Tusk remains upset, agents definitely have something extraordinary to possess soon. What do you think they will be able to possess at the end of this experience?
Good luck!

Summary
Concluding December 2023
In the past month, December 2023, SWAT previewed its most prestigious performances over a long period of time. We were able to acquire event participation counts of around a dozen. which is comparatively more lucrative than what SWAT saw in November 2023. The month was feared to have been attacked by EGCP. However, EGCP paused the war. Due to inactivity in the war, the war concluded silently.
The Yearly Awards 2023, too, started off on 5th December 2023, although, it was supposed to commence on 1st December 2023. The contest had two rounds: Nominations and Selections. In the Nominations round, or Round 1, agents could bring their name forward to be able to get voted for in the Selections round. In the Selections round, . SWAT became the first army to follow the most safest practices for hosting an annual award ceremony, especially due to the new Authorization Token feature in SWAT Bot.
Around this time, Bull Hour left the Leadership of SWAT.
SWAT did not show up in the Christmas Chaos XIII: Quarterfinals, as no agent was ready to lead the event at the given time. SWAT was supposed to fight against EGCP. Shortly after, the Division Commander Elections for the month commenced on 20th December 2023, at 12 PM UTC. Although, it was supposed to start on 15th December 2023, at 12 PM UTC. The first Division Commanders were inducted when the voting process concluded on 23rd December 2023, at 5 PM UTC, exactly 76 hours after. These inductions were: SWAT Low Command Member Fire_Dragon for the Arctic Ops and SWAT Commander Fwapo for the Strikers. However, upon Fwapo‘s request, the Division Commander for the Strikers changed to Shadow.
By the end of the month, SWAT outperformed events held earlier in the same month. Around this time, in four minutes, four armies declared war on EGCP. SWAT felt delighted and relieved seeing this moment. The war stemmed due to EGCP’s engagement in inappropriate practices and activity. Later, POM, too joined the war, composing an opposition to EGCP of five armies. SWAT Commander FWAPO, too, joined the Leadership again after spending little time in another army in secret. They had taken a break from SWAT earlier this month due to educational examinations.
Overall, the month consistently saw improvement. The month of December 2023 closed along with the Year 2023 entirely.
Concluding Season 1: Operation Blackout
Season 1: Operation: Blackout was the first season held in SWAT. And, the most victorious position acquired in the season was taken by Fire_Dragon, being the first to complete all missions in Season 1! They acquired Agent of the Month on 1st January 2024, and will uphold this title till 31st January 2024.
Congratulations, Fire_Dragon! An award has been designed for the victory…
A medal issued by The SWAT Corporation on 1st January 2023. The medal has been awarded to Fire_Dragon, for acquiring the Agent of the Month: December 2023. The medal has UHD (4K, Ultra High Definition) quality, following the 16:9 Widescreen ratio.
Season 2 commenced on 1st January 2023. The season has been entitled The Luminescence. The season is possibly going to be based on theft of a lamp. The story will unravel over time.
Season 2 will be operated by the SWAT Bot. Newer missions have been added. Season commands have been improved.
Formal Establishment of The SWAT Corporation
Till now, The SWAT Corporation was mentioned several times in announcements. It may also be referred to as the ‘Corporation’. On 9th December 2023, the establishment of The SWAT Corporation began to take shape, by the creation of a Discord server.
On 11th December 2023, the Discord server was open to all staff members. The SWAT Corporation is an organization of trust, that allows agents that are at least of rank Staff in Training to enter the Corporation and partake in several administrative tasks assigned there. The Discord server was a replacement of a staff Discord server that SWAT previously had, which has remained obsolete for a prolonged period of time.
The Discord server is quite unique, however. Certain information from this staff-only Discord server can be accessed by the public. And, the Discord server can be considered as an incentive to engage agents to acquire promotions and be enlisted in the Corporation. The Discord server also provides an enormous library of guides.
Guests, Visitors, or Veterans may be allowed in the Discord server, on certain criteria. Please contact the Leadership to see if you are eligible to be able to access the Discord server. Certain access may or may not still be restricted.
The SWAT Corporation’s Library of Guides as of 1st January 2024.
A preview of The SWAT Corporation’s Events as of 17th December 2023.
SWAT Bot Updates
SWAT Bot has grown in usage exponentially in December 2023. This exponentiation hinted certain advancements that could be made in the bot.
1. Commit a Crime
Using .crime, or /crime as a slash command, will allow you to commit a virtual crime. This generates funny responses. And, it offers you a 33.333% chance of failing to commit a crime, which can cause you to lose a lot of coins.
2. Profiles
Agents have had an unsatisfactory time trying to know the amount of coins they possess by looking up for their position on the leaderboard. Using .profile, or /profile as a slash command, will allow you to view your profile in SWAT Bot. It allows you to see the number of coins and gems you possess. It also allows you to set your own description, view it, or view another agent’s description. The description enacts as a “bio”, or an “About Me”.
3. Badges
Badges are similar to medals and awards. They are recorded in SWAT Bot. Please note that this is different from Discord’s role badges, and is not to be confused with them.
Divisions Reworked
After a prolonged period of time, divisions have made a return! Two divisions can be entered, The Arctic Ops and The Strikers. SWAT uniforms have been stitched beautifully for each division.
December 2023 also saw the induction of Division Commanders, which brought divisions to action. It compounded activity in either division rapidly.
However, on 28th December 2023, SWAT Commander and SWAT Strikers’ Division Commander Fwapo decided to drop their position and choose Shadow as their replacement. Thus, Shadow acquired the position of Division Commander at the Strikers.

In late December 2023, SWAT’s Discord server was redesigned to adapt to the Winter season. This design has now retreated, and the normal Discord server theme continues again. The Discord server now also has several other economy-themed Discord bots to promote engagement.
The categories in the Discord server were reorganized. And, newer channels were added. Incentives for using certain channels were implemented. Some channels were replaced or merged, too. The starboard was reworked upon.
SWAT anticipates Club Penguin Journey to be used for certain events, but may not be so necessarily. We greatly anticipate an event on New Club Penguin to be hosted in the month of January 2024, however.
The News Central channel on our Discord server is no longer discontinued. The channel was archived on 20th June 2023, and was reopened on 30th December 2023. The duration of the archival was 6 months and 10 days.
SWAT is Joining Fandom
SWAT is joining Fandom! Fandom is a platform for communities to establish wikis, which anyone, including you, can edit. With several pages being prepared, we are working on templates for the wiki. We expect the base of the wiki to be ready in a few days. We are constantly exploring sources where we can find historical information. These sources include SWAT’s present and past websites.
The objective of our Fandom wiki is simple: to preserve SWAT’s history. The wiki was created on 25th December 2023 by SWAT Commander Fun X Time. SWAT Commander Fwapo and SWAT High Command Member Zooy have volunteered to assist to be a part of SWAT’s Wiki Team. They have acquired the Wiki Administrator position on the wiki.
A battle occurred between the two divisions, marking the first battle between divisions. It is believed that it may be the first time a battle has struck between two divisions in SWAT, or even the entire army community. However, this information is not confirmed. The battle was judged by SWAT Commander Fun X Time from the Arctic Ops and SWAT Commander Fwapo from the Strikers.
The Arctic Ops took the victory. The results were:
Room 1: Tie Room 2: Tie Room 3: The Arctic Ops
Throughout the battle, both the divisions were raging for victory. The Arctic Ops and the Strikers acquired their highest participation count of 5 each, during the main duration of the battle. However, the Arctic Ops acquired 6 before the battle started. The Strikers lost primarily because of the massive participation count drop in the last room, which caused their performance to be explicitly unhealthy. Overall, both the divisions competed fabulously!
A Special Note!
What were the SWAT Commanders up to? The SWAT Commanders wanted to let non-High-Command members to lead events. We wanted to train them in administrative fields. The Commanders were extremely happy to see it in action! We could see both the divisions prepare tactics to their fullest.
SWAT Website Updates
After years, outdated content from the SWAT website is being removed! The Discord invite links on the website have been updated. The Empire page has been updated with accurate information. Older event schedules are no longer focused on the homepage of the website.

Message from the Director
“Ineffable is the culmination of valor, the epitome of sagacity. A clandestine symphony conducted in the unseen chambers of providence. Its sagacious directives traverse the labyrinthine corridors of clandestine endeavors, orchestrating the veiled ballet of virtuosity with a precision that befits the echelons of the enigmatic. Sublime is its orchestration, ensconced within the fabric of discretion, illuminating the clandestine vaults with a luminescence that exudes an ethereal mastery of elusiveness and excellence.”
