Quick answer
Choose the Trouble Shooters set if you want player-character miniatures for missions; choose the Security set if you need loyal enforcers to guard corridors and intimidate clones.
What each set represents in Alpha Complex
In the dystopian Alpha Complex, the Computer rules with absolute authority. Trouble Shooters are the player characters—clones sent on deadly missions to prove loyalty, often by eliminating problems and reporting treason. Security are the enforcers: clones who guard facilities, check credentials, and ensure order. Their roles are distinct, and your choice of miniatures should match the story you want to tell.
Both sets contain five plastic miniatures, but the poses and gear reflect their different jobs. The Trouble Shooters look like operatives ready for action, while Security figures appear more uniform and disciplined.
Trade-off: player characters vs NPCs
If you're a Game Master, you may want both sets: Trouble Shooters for your players' characters and Security for the guards they'll encounter. But if you're a player building a personal collection, the Trouble Shooters set is the obvious choice. The Security set is better for GMs who need a squad of consistent-looking NPCs.
The price difference is small—Trouble Shooters cost $18.00 (down from $30.00) while Security cost $21.30 (also down from $30.00). Both are discounted, so the choice comes down to role, not budget.
