HISTORY
Sweater began his army career in 2013, later leading armies such as SWAT, Shadow Recon, Fire Warriors, and the People’s Imperial Confederation, while currently serving as a Deputy Head Judge in CPAJ. Justin began his CPA career in 2012 and has since held leadership positions in SWAT, Void Troops, and Dark Warriors, most recently becoming a Dark Warriors Leader in 2025.
Justin began his journey in 2012 with the Special Weapons and Tactics. He served in several armies, including the Dark Warriors, Smart Penguins, Ice Warriors, Rebel Penguin Federation, and the Templars. Justin gained experience, established connections with other well-known people in the community, and also rejoined the Templars in 2024 to fight against the Secret Service. In addition, Justin joined the Rebel Alliance Commando in the War of Spectral Siege; RACP ended up victorious.
GRAND OPENING
Masked Bandits opened on August 2 under the leadership of Sweater and Justin. Furthermore, Sweater currently serves as a Deputy Head Judge in Club Penguin Army Judges, while Justin most recently served as a leader of the Dark Warriors.
Ahead of the opening, the Masked Bandits completed their rank structure and expressed confidence that they would surpass 30 attendees. Before the event, the army announced it would give away gift cards if attendance reached 20 and 30, while also scheduling the opening on the same day as the Legends Cup XVI Grand Finals.

Lastly, Club Penguin Armies reached out to Sweater to learn more about the opening.
Do you think that Masked Bandits will grow to become a strong army?
What motivated you to open Masked Bandits?
I’ve been critical of armies that open just to dress up on Club Penguin Journey, and don’t want to act like an army. I figured I should put my money where my mouth is. If I can’t do it, fair enough, I’ll stop criticising these armies.
Anything else to say to the army community?
If you’re interested in joining something different, message me. We’re still looking for people to take on all sorts of positions. I can’t promise anything other than we’ll try our best.
In conclusion, Sweater made Masked Bandits thanks to his criticism that some armies don’t want to act like an army. Furthermore, it is clear that Sweater, alongside Justin, knows what they are doing, and we can only hope they achieve what they want. Do you agree with Sweater? Why would you start an army to help the current state of the community?
