The clone deaths in season 3 were so damn brutal not just because of how they were executed but because it was clone brothers vs clone brothers. It was so dark.

Are we gonna ignore how dr hemlock was basically trying to make his own bad batch

There's a 5th CX trooper that appears in the training room scene, with similar teal lights on his helmet and a horizontal slit visor. He wields a small pistol against Echo and the escaped clone prisoners.

Honestly seeing them all in action to me at least showed how killing off Hemlock was a significant blow to the Empire in the battles to come. The loss of Project Necromancer aside, imagine if more troopers like this had been active during the time of the Rebellion. Having small, elite groups of super assassins like this running around would have been an absolute nightmare for the Rebellion. But with Hemlock and his research gone, this asset is lost to the Empire preluding a conflict where they would've been a truly frightening weapon. So in a way the Bad Batch helped save the Rebellion before it even officially began. Which gives weight, at least in my opinion, that the actions of the Bad Batch did have significant consequences for the galaxy as a whole, which I really like

It’s definitely a good thing Rex urged the Bad Batch to remove their inhibitor chips otherwise Hemlock would’ve been able to turn them into them

1st: Crosshair. 2nd: Hunter. 3rd: Tech. 4th: Wrecker

I didn't realise this until I rewatched the episode, there's actually 5 CX Troopers. There's the sniper, the dual sword wielder, the tank with the electric chain, the one with the staff, and then there's the one who's more of the assault type class. They all kind of loosely resemble each member of the bad batch.

3:01 bro really feeling himself

this finale felt like there was more planned for the show overall but executives said no you only get three seasons

I’m glad none of them were Tech. As much as it would’ve made sense, leaving his sacrifice untouched makes that final liftoff for Omega, taking Tech’s goggles, all the more personal, as she still remembered he brother as the hero that saved her

Wrecker took out half of them by himself at minimum strength. 💪

There was another one you forgot to Talk about the CX 2:48 that Captured Echo and dodges Echo Shots at 2:29 that took advantage of his weapon. He has the same helmet as the previous assassins or like the Sniper Assasin, only he has the visor like Commander Bly/Devis and had different weapons on his backpack, I think he was the weapons expert from this assassin group.

You missed one of the CX troopers. It’s the one with the Devis like visor. He was the last to be killed. They were 4 chambers because CX 2 was already created. Those troopers were just created.

honestly those are not vibro blades. Those are basically lightsabers. It's insane how they just impaled one of their brothers behind a wall like it was just butter. one of the most brutal clone deaths honestly.

Did y'all catch the rogue one reference in the finale, or was I just one of the few that geeked out when Tarkin mentioned Project Stardust?

Kind of wish they got more screen time like they are the special ops of the Empire. The bad batch that were send to do they dirty work ❤

When they were activated in the finale, I thought to myself “those guys must be the Mad Batch”

honestly, the staff cx's helmet reminded me of the helldivers helmet

I think you missed one more CX trooper?

0:08 dam is that a helldiver

Loved the finale, and loved these troops, wish we saw what happened to Cody though

I like to think that the reason why the bad batch managed to kill all the CX troopers is because they weren’t fully trained and developed so there was still some flaws

Staff guy was just wearing a bucket hat

Hemlock tried to recreate the Bad Batch, he failed miserably.. No one can recreate the Bad Batch.

They are pretty much clone Force 99 if they all turned evil

1:52 I believe it's based on the Neimoidian Royal Guards.

2nd one is clearly not tech because his helmet was thrown off and you can see his face to be just like the rest of the regular clones

People were all “oh my god it’s gonna be revealed it’s tech hes still alive, come on take off the helmet ope he’s dead”

tbh i wanted a clones vs vader fight cause would have been cool

"Clone Winter Soldier!!!"

Another case of the bad Guys getting all the cool shit. The sniper's armor is cold as fuck.

There are 5 CX troopers: 4 came out of the tubes and were Hemlock’s personal experiments (I think) and the 5th one is the one we first saw during the episode with Rex.

They kind of remind me of purge troopers. Even their weapon style is kinda similar. You got a fast and agile one, a staff wielder, heavy brute, and a marksman.

You forgot one trooper, CX-6. He's the one who held Echo at gunpoint and got killed by Vik, the bearded clone. He kinda resembles Echo, given how he acts like an ARC trooper.

so that makes 6 CX troopers - CX 0 (the sniper who killed Slip during the coruscant conspiracy and then killed himself) - CX 1 (the sniper with no rangefinder that gets captured and then silenced by CX 2) - CX 2 (the sniper that just refused to die) and then the dual vibroblade one, the staff one, the one with the bolas, and that other one with the Deviss helmet

2:43 Tech: HUNTER WAIT, IT'S ME.........!!!!!!!!"

I think that the way each Cx trooper faces each Bad Batch member represents who they were based off of, for example the CX sniper which many people believed was Tech sparred mainly with Crosshair, the CX with the staff was built more like Wrecker, the one with the slit visor resembles more like Echo. The other ones I don’t know

They kinda look like Helldivers

Surprised not to see or hear anything about purge troopers. Felt to me like they were the first step in that direction, and that cross hairs elite unit were already covering the dark trooper origins

Cx troopers were the closest thing to terror troopers without claws or cloaking tech. Mk ultra was included.

My first reaction to seeing these guys was that they had to be Dark Trooper phase 1, but they were obviously not

1:58 when I first saw that shot I thought of helldivers 2 it’s ever so slightly similar

the trooper who shot the CX clones is name is Vik, not sure but i saw in fandom and then i checked again the episode to find is name any where and i can't find it lol. Clone trooper vik might join rex's underground resistance if we get an series about them

I would have liked them to have been built up more to a bigger payoff. It did look like it for the assassin for a while but in the end they all went a bit like the Knights of Ren - killed off without much impact

Thats really cool! Have a great day and may the fourth be with you!🎉

They look like helldivers

You forgot one He was not in the big money shot and no special weapon He's helmet was actually the one who looked the most like tech We see him in the training room he is on the rigth side when they engaged the clones and echo

The Good Batch

At first i thought it was project DT phase 1 as there were mention of empire using clones for early DT model till modified to robotic phases.

Hey, one of them kinda look like a helldiver!

It's the first Purge Troopers, and they were actually the last generation of clone troopers produced from the bounty hunter Jango Fett's template.

they are actually 5 CX troopers, the extra one only appear when they wake up and when they die, he is kill by the prisioner clone

The cx trooper with the spear has a helmet that looks alot like the inquistors

Am I the only one seeing Helldivers 2 inspiration at the staff clone trooper’s helmet? Or I played Helldivers 2 too much?

These clones heavily remind me of task force 99

Bruh i loved the finale but it felt like a missed opportunity for some characters from the Republic Commando novels 😭

Nah, those were much closer to Pretorian guards than dark troopers. Only one of them was using range weapon, and rest were using staves or swords. They were elite combat team, and with exception of sniper, were used to defend someone. And they went down like a bunch of whimps after somehow wiping the floor with Bad Batch. Sounds like Pretorians to me.

i really wished that hemlock revived or just lied about tech's death and made him into his pawn

Was really hoping for scar squadron

man those CX troopers looked SO cool, why disney always killing the cool characters off bruh 😂 wish we saw more of them, least the sniper got his time to shine he was a cold mfer!

"Clones?" Or "Space Maoris?" I know which one I prefer!!"

As cool as they look, they were ultimately wasted characters with absolutely no background. Throughout the season it could’ve been implied that the CX troopers were clones of the members of the bad batch. Especially the CX sniper. Or even a better twist, the CX sniper being the real Crosshairs and the cloned clone being the one reinstated into the bad batch.

IM STILL TRYNA FIND OUT WHAT BLASTER THE SNIPER USES

Idk why people are thinking these guys were the evil Bad Batch or something. U can see one of them lose their helmets and hes obviously a reg so who's to say the others aren't regs but with physical mutations which would explain the different sizes

I don’t know if you didn’t notice but there is five I bit harder to find but he dose have rgb and a long visor made from one pice and wields a gun and nothing else major

You forgot the guy at who dies at 2:37 that’s 5 CX troopers and counting the other two more standard ones we see earlier in the series that’s 7

If techo was alive was a four vs four Battle epic

You missed the other CX Trooper that was about to execute Echo 2:30

There was another Cx trooper btw there was one with another visor over there head

I don’t think there dark troopers but more like the fist edition of praetorian guards with different Helmets and weapons. And also how they are used to protect the high end imperial people much like how moff Gideon requested some in Mando season 3 from the shadow council.

i ready ilke all 3 of them

It was nice to see HEADSHOTS back. Its been too long. Im sure you all know what i mean

there are 5 of them you missed the last one which is the last one to die the cx who shot wrecker and got killed by a random clone

they call themselves the worst batch

2:52 that look like crosshairs

There was a fifth one that you missed. He had green LED lighting

But wasn’t there 2 Tantiss bases?

There there were five assassin clone troopers in the last episode Check it again

I keep seeing a fifth one cuz the helmet design is different and has greenish-blue ear lights.

3:21 why just why did he have to cut his hand

Is that just me or do they kinda look like helldivers

I surprise one of him dont Is a Giant like wrecker whit a hammer bro

You miss one

What about CX-5?!

u forgot to explain the 5th one

First

4th
