While few Legends are listed for this year, much did take place in 2012. The Army of Club Penguin finally fell from their pinnacle at first during the Summer of this year, and the number one spot was finally up for grabs. The Nachos, Dark Warriors, Ice Warriors, and many other armies all had bids at first. SaW, one of the most notorious people in armies, returned to the Dark Warriors in 2012 and led them to World Power Status alongside xiUnknown. Pochoma123 reached the peak of his career during this year, leading the Ninjas to major and finishing runner-up in the Legends Cup that year; his graphics were also legendary. One of the most notable events in 2012 was the rising of the Pirates army under Waterkid100, who is most noted for being the catalyst of World War VI.
Pochoma123
Pochoma123’s influence on army also spanned across many years. Majorly involved in both the Roman Fire Warriors and, following the name change, the Fire Warriors, Pochoma played a prominent role in their rise and status as a major army. In 2012, Pochoma123 was most-known for his army the Ninjas, which finished as runner-up in multiple CPAC Tournaments and contended with ACP for the number one spot on multiple occasions. He was the resident graphics designer of CPA Central for some time, helping to modernize the formerly impressive but messy and in-your-face graphics of previous eras. Outside of armies, Pochoma was well-known for cheats site and his graphics, which were regarded as some of the best in armies during the time.
Saw
SaW is one of the most notorious leaders of Club Penguin Army history, however SaW truly is a legend and one of the greatest leaders Club Penguin Armies has ever seen. He is credited with leading both SWAT and the Golds to the Top Three, and with leading countless Dark Warriors generations into the Top Five, including the most recent, which held first for a month straight. SaW is also known for his fantastic recruiting talents and his ability to rise an army to World Power status in a work or two. SaW will forever be remembered.
xiUnknown
Often known as part of a dynamic-duo similar to the Night Warriors combination, xiUnknown led countless successful Dark Warriors generations alongside SaW, and is similar to his partner not only in leadership skills but also in notoriety. However, xiUnknown led many Dark Warriors generations into the Top Five, most notably during the Fall of 2012 when the army held the number one spot for many weeks, and has also had stunts in armies such as SWAT. The Dark Warriors thrived under xiUnknown due to his recruiting talents and his leadership skills, and he is one of the greatest leaders the army has ever seen.
Waterkid100
Waterkid is known for leading the Pirates and Light Troops to commanding positions in CP Armies. He is most known for recreating the Pirates army and leading them, alongside others, to consistent top three spots in their peak. The Pirates, alongside the Black Alliance, spearheaded the one year long war against the Army of CP in 2012 and Waterkid was known as the leader of the alliance – in an attempt to end ACP’s domination. As a result, Waterkid was named the Person of the Year in 2012. He also is a famous leader of the Light Troops, leading alongside Waterkid and Roberto over many years during his career. The LT also experienced many periods of domination – in particular in the summer of 2014 where the LT were only 2nd to a dominant Dark Warriors. This stayed true throughout all of 2014, as the Light Troops were named one of the most powerful armies of 2014. In 2015, Waterkid revived the Light Troops and brought them to prominence once again, all the while revolutionizing recruiting through an extremely controversial method known as bot recruiting. While he is a very controversial figure, he has had a lasting impact with his leadership of the two armies.
Ganger90
Ganger90 joined Club Penguin Armies in August 2008, founding the Warriors of Club Penguin. After merging with Woton’s Military of Club Penguin to form the Military of Roman Warriors, Ganger would strike a deal with the Fire Warriors in April 2009 to merge them into a rebrand known as the Roman Fire Warriors. Not to be deterred afterwards, Ganger would become a leader in the rising Sun Troops which would be instrumental to the formation of Golden Troops. As its founder and leader, he would oversee the army be a perennial top 3 army and in August 2011 tip the Flen duo’s Army of Club Penguin out of first place (one of the few times during their long leadership). Ganger is most known for founding the modern iteration of the Special Weapons and Tactics. SWAT would regularly be a major army under his leadership as well as taking part in many major wars. Ganger would be a major figure in the Black Alliance in WWVI and its future iterations such as in 2014 against the Justice League. SWAT under him also regularly fought with the ACP—seeing a constant stream of wars in one of the biggest rivalries in army history (due to both armies’ claim to Mammoth). Ganger would return in 2020 to SWAT which saw the army see success in a highly competitive year including a major conflict with the Water Vikings and would be the only constant figure of SWAT in every generation since during its major success.
