Clone Andy is a non playable (Playable in Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp's multiplayer) CO and a clone of Orange Star's Andy. He was created by Black Hole and used to start a war between Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet, and Green Earth, after which Sturm would be able to conquer the weakened nations. He was defeated by Andy and Eagle. It is unknown what happened to Clone Andy after Sturm's defeat. He may have ran away into a forest, or might have faded, like what happened in Advance Wars: Dual Strike.

Appearance[]

Unsurprisingly, Clone Andy appears strikingly similar to the CO he is based on. In the original Advance Wars, Clone Andy appears completely identical to the real Andy, even sharing the same battle portraits and CO theme.

In Advance Wars: 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, Clone Andy has undergone some slight design changes. Instead of being a complete physical copy of Andy, Clone Andy now has a few distinguishing features to differentiate him from the real Andy: He now sports black hair as opposed to brown, and his attire is in a noticeably darker shade of red. Most strikingly, his eyes glow bright blue in an unnatural way. The clone also has different facial expression in his battle portraits. Even his CO theme has been changed, being a modified version of Andy's CO theme.

Personality[]

Despite being based on Andy, Clone Andy inherits none of his cheery personality. Instead, he only speaks in an emotionless, robotic voice.

In Advance Wars: 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, Clone Andy makes more of an attempt to mimic Andy's personality, but still generally maintains a complete lack of emotion.

Advance Wars[]

Clone Andy is responsible for the conflicts that have engulfed Wars World. He commanded Black Hole forces during several attacks on Green Earth, Blue Moon, and Yellow Comet, under the guise of the real Andy, causing them to become hostile towards Orange Star. His existence is not known for most of the game, but hinted at by Eagle who claims Andy commanded the forces that attacked Green Earth. During one attack, in particular, the clone destroyed a city in Green Earth causing Eagle to develop a grudge against it and the real Andy.

The Clone's existence is finally revealed by Sonja after Mission 18. She explains that the attacks all took place during Olaf's invasion of Orange Star, and Orange Star couldn't attack while trying to repel the invasion. The Clone finally appears in Mission 19: "Andy Times Two" where it is confronted and defeated by Andy and the Orange Star COs. During the battle, the Clone has all the same powers as the real Andy.

What happens to the clone after Sturm's defeat is unknown. Though it can be assumed that he is the same clone who appeared in the mission Surrounded! in Advance Wars: Dual Strike, albeit different appearance.
