Every Single Clone Trooper Type + Variant Explained (All Known 36+ Types) [2022 UPDATED] [CANON]

- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- The Clone Troopers of the Republic were the backbone of the Chancellor Palpatine’s military force to fight the separatists during the Clone Wars. Despite being commissioned under very suspicious circumstances by a long dead Jedi named Sifo-Dyas, the Jedi Council felt they had no choice but to accept these new Clones and serve as their General in the upcoming conflict… Over the years, many different types and variants of Clone troopers were created to fill different use cases, including everything from Clone Intelligence officers to Clones who hunt their brothers who have deserted…
Check out EVERY LIGHTSABER TYPE in Canon here: • Every Single Lightsabe...
*Number 1. Regular Clone Troopers*
The Clone Army of the Republic was commissioned by Jedi Master and Council member Sifo-Dyas after he foresaw a coming would which would ravage the Galaxy. The other Jedi on the council refused to believe his insane ramblings, and as a result kicked him off of the council. Despite this, he put in an order with the Kaminoans, who were known for their high quality cloning and thus the Clone Army was born… Although there was a huge problem. While placing this order, Palpatine found out about the deal and ordered the Kaminoans to implant inhibitor chips into each of their heads, compelling them to follow any of the 150 Clone Contigency orders when activated…
*Number 2. Special Operations Troopers*
Special ops troopers or stealth ops clones were a group of Clones that specialized in low profile, undetected stealth missions deep into enemy territory. They were trained to be able to move quickly and quietly, and detect enemies at a distance, without much trouble… They were also given advanced sensory gear by the Kaminoans which enhanced their senses, including their hearing and sight… They often operated experimental Republic technologies like the Stealth corvette in their campaign against General Grievous and the Malevolence.
*Number 3. Clone Shadow Troopers.*
Clone Shadow troopers were a highly secretive unit of Clones who were equpped with an extremely experiemental and rare type of armor. The armor was coated in deep black paint, with white stripes and a red visor, and contained a group of strageically placed magseals. These seals allowed the Clones to attach cosmetic plates to the armor, which could alter any clone’s appearance to impersonate almost any type of human shaped species or profession. For example, these clones could impersonate a Hutt Cartel Mercenary or a member of the black Sun Crime Syndicate if they needed to go undercover within those crime families. This unit eventually evolved into Imperial Shadow Troopers later on.
*Number 4. Clone Lava Troopers*
Now these guys aren’t confirmed to be Clone Troopers in Canon, but based on the time they served, it’s pretty likely that they are. Now they wore deep black armor, with thick red breathing tubes, allowing them to serve near the sulphur-rich lava rivers of Mustafar, under Darth Vader. They followed him loyally into battle on Mustafar, especially against the Native Mustafarians, who often caused trouble and rebellion near his castle.
*Number 5. Covert Operations Troopers*
Now these Clones are probably the most dark and ominous variant on the list. Cover Ops trooeprs were assigned to perform the “dirty work” of the Republic, that most clones would find repulsive, unethical or just plain wrong… This primarily included hunting down Clone Deserters like Cut Lawquane and executing them on the spot.
*Number 6. Clone Medics*
Clone medics were troopers specifically bred and trained on Kamino to be able to treat their injured brothers on the battlefield. Because knowledge of the Clone Body was implanted into the Medic’s brains from before their birth, their treatment was extremely effective in even the worst of situations. The most famous Clone Medic is Clone Trooper Kix, and he is actually the last surviving Clone Trooper in the Galaxy, making it all the way to the time of the Force Awakens. During the dying days of the Clone Wars, Kix became extremely suspscious of the so-called virus that caused his brother Tup to kill Master Tiplar.To do this, Dooku froze Kix in cryostasis aboard a transport ship, but on the way to serenno is was ambushed by Republic forces who didn’t know Kix was on oboard, causing signficiant damage. As a result, the B-1 Battle droid on board decided the ship was far too damaged to go to Serenno, so he activated the hyper drives and sent the ship hurling in a random direction, eventually crash landing on the sandly world of Ponemah… 50 years after the Clone Wars, Kix was discovered by the Red Pirate Sidon Ithano and was horrified to learn that everyone he knew wasa now dead…
*Number 7. Clone Purge Troopers.*
Clone Purge troopers were group of elite clones who were considered “expendable death squads” by the empire, meant to hunt down any surviving Jedi from Order 66. - Розваги

What about clone assassins?
Its just so astonishing how Dave and George built upon the clones and made them such lovable, sympathetic, and tragic characters man. The clones are among my favorite characters in all of Star Wars, and I hope that in future live-action shows, we get more of Big Tem playing clone troopers post ROTS!
Dont forgot good old dee bradley
But you're profile picture is a stormtrooper😅
@@plokoon7491 are clones expendable?
I hope we get the same kind of humanization of stormtroopers tbh, I wish we would see similar levels of comradery and badassery from them, I never liked the idea of them being a downgrade in every way
Dave shouldn't touch star wars
4:20 Kix also joined Sidon Ithano's space pirate crew and grew a beard, not wanting to see his face on the mirror that remind him of all of his lost brothers.

I remember being a kid and wondering about the reference to the 'Clone Wars' and what they may have been like. They turned out to be nothing like I'd imagined and also better in every way.
What did you first imagine them as
@@comradekenobi6908 yeah
what

You cannot beat the clone troopers! Some of the most unique creations in all of Star Wars ever! Their armour and different variants is just incredible I think!
I agree the differences in armour and variants is indeed amazing
@@LaraA55 phase 1 is probably the best though! I love the brief style look although it’s really just meant to be for the crotch type area right?
I think the only beings in the galaxy who’d even have a chance at entirely defeating the clones for good would be their creators, the Kaminoans, purely because they have the genetic material for one clone, therefore they have the genetic material for all the clones (save a handful who discovered their inhibitor chips and had them removed prior to the Galactic Empire) so really, all it would take is a minor rewrite of the code to include a deadly virus, and then continue producing clones, and have pre-made clones go through a sort of “update” for their inhibitor chips, which in reality would be planting the virus into their bodies
@@JuniperofTheWolves hmm… very interesting points.
@@BrennySpain we see the kaminoans do a very similar thing to Crosshair at the start of the Bad Batch, except in this case, they just enhanced the power of the inhibitor chips signal, to allow for a stronger frequency output that blocks any interference or opposing frequencies, as opposed to embedding a virus in the chip, or the genetic code
Clone troopers are my favourite part of star wars. Truly the galaxy’s finest soldiers
Quite possibly the greatest in fictional story telling.
I still can’t believe the clone wars only took place over 3 years. It honestly felt like it should’ve been longer in some aspects. You know what I mean?
The IRL reason was probably because that’s the time between Attack of The Clones and Revenge of The Sith but the in-universe reason was probably that with a war on a galaxy-wide scale it doesn’t take too long to deplete either side’s resources and leave their citizens tired and ready for the war to end. Remember, The Republic was already on the verge of bankruptcy by year 2 and had to deregulate the banks in order to purchase more clones to replace their already dwindling army.
Star wars has a huge issue with numbers lol
@@comradekenobi6908 true haha
@@comradekenobi6908 On one half yep and on the other half, time is relative to many planets as all of them have different rotations and timezones stuff lol.
@@memecliparchives2254 tru
Galactic Marines sound like a Star Wars version of real world Marines so likely were used for ship boardings and ship protection, hence the ability to work in the vacuum of space…they’re probably trained in combat in zero gravity alongside using magnetic boots and jet thrusters. they also likely learned the layouts of separatist ships alongside every republic ship type in use in case of assignment to the ships and needing to board the separatist ships
U should see what kind of badass their clone commander was
@@natron43 not as big a badass as gigachad frodo lmfao
Ship boardings? Yes, they even used prototypes power suits later used by the imperial zero g troopers or space troopers, know by Fans of the thrawn trilogy
So the Covert Ops Troopers were just a bunch of clones that fit into the “quiet kid” stereotype
I never understood Syfo Dias being kicked off the council. The jedi are constantly reminding people and themselves that they adhere to the will of the force and wait for it to give them answers....and yet when one of their own council members recieves a vision of conflict, they don't believe him? Excuse me??
Because the Jedi were hypocrites
@@exactly7773 fr they did everything to contribute to their own demise
The Jedi were hypocritical and corrupt. This is shown time and time again throughout the prequel era.
As I understand it there are 2 answers : first is that what the comments above me mention. That the jedi were a bit corrupt and hypocritical. Second answer is way easier : plot holes / poor storywriting regarding the details of the franchise.
You should read the Darth Plaguies novel
You forgot ARF troopers! Those are my fav😢 nice video btw, wow thanks for the likes most I’ve ever gotten on a comment
Yeah I was about to say that
@@slytester1723 yea
I was looking for this comment
@@natron43 i know :(
Galactic Marines are #1 tho
Literally just finished rewatching Landing at Point Rain, perfect timing.
0:55 EU Legends had the Clones being indoctrinated from birth to always follow Orders and act on it when one of said Orders are executed. Which of course, not all Clones obeyed Order 66 and chose to defy it and protect the Jedi from their own brothers.
How differently would the Clone Wars series have gone without the inhibitor chips?
@@nickter745thebold8 Big Palp being executed prob
@@nickter745thebold8 we already see that in legends lol (the better continuity)
@@Deviss6210 Not necessarily, Palpatine still returned lol and Luke's Order still fell regardless to ANOTHER SITH EMPIRE led by....apparently by someone that Kenobi abandoned.....ffs.
@@nickter745thebold8 Rex, Jesse and Cody would 100% refuse to follow the order as many clone commanders would.
The inhibitor chips were the only practical guarantee that ALL CLONES would follow the order in strictly killing the Jedi by all means necessary. Palpatine's slick foresight really planned it out eh.
Thank you for this nobody else makes videos that cover this much information
congrats on being the first comment
@@carjemgenerations9580 I am?
Cool
i always thought sifo dias wanted to do something like that and was trying to, but before he could, he got intercepted by dooku and palpatine. They decided and planned the whole clone army with the kaminoans. and because the council found sifo dias' stuff weird and banished him, dooku and palpy found it a great idea to keep that as a way of keeping it a secret that they planned everything.
About the ARC Troopers, I like to think that they have a mix of the types seen in both Legends and Canon. Like, maybe the first class of ARCs were comprised of Clones trained by Jango himself, and then they passed down his teachings to those who were proven worthy to stand alongside them and carry that mantle, like Fives and Echo.
You may like to think so, but it's not true.
The first batches of Null and Alpha clones were trained by Mandalorians and were the most powerful fighting unit in the clone army.
ARC recruits like Fives were not even close to ARF clones, let alone full-fledged ARCs. These recruits were almost no different from ordinary clones.
I always liked the clones, and seeing them in such detail and action in the Clone Wars TV series was great. So much variety and cool stuff.
The clone Arc troopers explanation still works with both, the original Arcs were created by the kaminoans and they didn't modify much, after the Arcs they modified the genome quite a bit more towards obeying and what not, NEW Arcs were chosen to fill the ranks of lost Arcs as Jango was dead and Boba was lost to the Kaminoans(you know they'd have used the unaltered Jango genome without regard for Bobas wishes, from their perspective he is a product they made, after all)
ARC recruiters were not selected to take the place of full ARCs.
ARC recruits were far from being as powerful as ARF clones, what can we say about full-fledged ARCs. And they were used purely as infantry, no different from ordinary clones.
0:01 Me and the Boys are going for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
love the info, thanks for this video!
@StarForceOne Wow, just wow...this blew my mind...I had no idea there were so many types of clones with varying skills and abilities. I enjoyed hearing about the Clone Medics and I had no idea that kix survived for such a long time.
Good content as always!
Glad you think so!
Thanks for another awesome video! But you did miss the Advanced Recon Force (ARF) troopers meaning that there are 37 clone types so far.
Anyone notice how he forgot the clones that handled the dogs? Much like police, some clones had dogs to chase people down with. Its been a while since I've watched this series, but I know I saw them in an episode in the 7th season of the clone wars when they were chasing down Asoka Tano (I probably spelled that wrong)
You're thinking of Sgt Hound
That was a Coruscant Guard Sergeant.
Very cool video! It would be nice to see a video similar to this but about legends
0:12 Twi'lek Jedi: "Alright, boys! Let's do this! LEEROY JENKINS!"
Clone Captain: "Oh my God! The general ran in!"
"200,000 units are ready with a million more well on the way." - Prime Minister Lama-Su of Kamino
note that the corusant guard are highly trained in close quarters combat and are trained to operate in urban enviroments
You're a good soldier, brother
I spent weeks trying to collect all these informations... Thank you!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome Vid
Great video.
Clone troopers are so freaking cool I love you a video so much you are the best
Thank you so much I didn’t even know some of them there are so many!!!
The bad batch is amazing! Can’t wait for season 2!
Well made video. Kept me interested
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am pretty sure that the defects in the bad batch were purposeful, except for echo
Love this video
The defective clones (bad batch) weren't defective, they were designed to have these abilitys, it was just difficult to give them the powers
I’d love to hear all the legend stories and details behind some of the side cannon clones
ARC troopers and Commandos are the most badass clones in the GAR. I'd definitely be a Commando if give the chance. StarForceOne what Clone trooper type would you be?
Arc Trooper for me.
ARF trooper for me!! Or maybe recon
Clone officer
Fantastic video and great channel. Question - do you, or anyone, know of a group of 212th Clones who, following order 66, did not join the empire and operated independently of both the rebels and the empire
11:21 I don't know if anybody noticed it yet, but the BARC troopers are actually the 29th clone trooper type presented in the video, but they are labeled as the 28th. They are followed by the commandos, who are the 30th type of clone troopers and are labeled correctly. The actual 28th type are the ARC troopers who are labeled correctly as well.
Thanks for doing an exclusively canon version
Commander Fox"Yes we're very respected"
Fives 🤬
Nice work .Can't wait for the next Installment of the Bad Batch
That's badass man I wanna make a custom figure of all of them!! I jus need more figures to customize 😅
Get Star Wars legion clone minis and paint them however you like.
@@josiahbassett9216 I haven't gotten my hands on any of those yet but I customize some of the Vintage/saga Collection Clones before.
Finally my time has come, I've watched many of these all clone types videos but I've never seen anyone mention a type I saw in the clone wars. Its in the episode where plo koon finds sifo dyas' lightsaber on a crashed ship. Along with him, we saw a whole new clone armour variant worn by the wolf pack. I've never seen anyone talk about this type of clones and as far I know, the design was never used again in other episodes. My head-cannon is its a clone helmet design more robust for sandstorm/dust filled environments, like a proper respirator+helmet type.
Can you do a video on how obi wans legs survived when he was force pushed by Count Dooku and the bridge falls on his legs I haven't seen a video on it yet but it would be really cool!
Great video, just missing ARF Troopers though!
Happily some of these amazing clones stayed loyal to the republic even after order 66
Thank you for your vid
I hate the missed opportunity they had to have the covert ops clones hunt down fives instead of the coruscant guard.
I wonder if specialized clone troopers could still receive ARC training and status. That’d lead to interesting ARC specialists like paratroopers, medics and bomb squad
Aren't ARF troopers basically ARC scouts troops?
@@th3sh3rm4n4 no not at all ARF troopers r the guys that drove the chicken walker looking things theyre not related to the ARCs
@@braydengeis7666 In the Clone wars series they are also shown as having active camouflage for recon missions and they are capable of flying, they do other things then pilot AT-RT's, besides they are called Advanced Recon Force for a reason
@@th3sh3rm4n4 ok true but theyre still not related to the ARC troopers
ARF (Advanced Reconnaissance Force) were more like light infantry moving ahead of the main force or patrolling areas. They’d use skirmish tactics and would be more used to draw the enemy in a certain direction or used to quickly move around and engage the enemy on the flanks.
While ARC Troopers (Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos) would fill the role of covert operations behind enemy lines such as destroying key defenses, sabotaging production, destroying supplies, assassinating or kidnapping VIP’s, and if need be, destroying entire enemy units by themselves or in a small group.
One is a scout.
The other is a one man army.
Can u do a “every clone type and variant in legends” video?
Missed one, in the old Star Wars episode 3 game on PS2 there was a clone trooper known as the clone assassin that used blades attached to their forearms and had enhanced speed. They were used to kill Jedi during order 66
8:47 rip my boy Heavy
ARF troopers? Or where they just denominations of the scouts also some of the assassin or mech? Clones but I think that they are legends
canon
The galactic marines are also known as the 21st nova corps. They are led by high Jedi general Ki Adi Mundi and commander Bacara, I would really like to see some legends stuff as well as there is soooooo much lore in legends when compared to canon.
If you never met a quick scoping pro in battlefront 2 you don't know true fear
The paratrooper helmets have to be some of my favorite…
I love them all but for me the Coruscant Guard are my favourites. The red markings look great. They have sub units including Diplomatic Protection and Galactic Senate Building security as well as Jedi Escort duties. They also guard prison facilities, deal with urban riot control and handle hostage situations. Plus they have the honour of protetcting The Supreme Chancellor himself. Thier numbera include Advanced Recon Force Scout Troopers, Clone Riot Troopers and Clone Shock Troopers. Very cool !
I grew up with the prequels and don’t get me wrong I did enjoy them but I always liked the OG more. That was until I watched the clone wars years later. To me that series enhances the prequels so much especially once you re watch the prequels after TCW and have a lot more context as to what went on behind the scenes of order 66 and how the whole war started and why. Simply amazing. If you haven’t seen it 10/10 recommend it took men forever to watch the series cause I always thought it’s animated it’s a kid show man was I wrong.
Love that for the galactic marines you used a toy photography shot!
where did you find all these photos there amazing
Would be really nice if you'd also do a legends version.
The Clones are my favorite military faction in Star Wars and deserve more recognition and respect! My favorite part of TCW was giving more focus to them.
Unfortunately clone pilot survival rates were so low that rank and file troopers had to double as pilots and learn Starfighter piloting later on in the war. Actually you’re missing a canon clone trooper type the biohazard unit otherwise known as the 88th legion after the blue shadow virus they were deployed to contain the outbreak on Naboo although that the initial outbreak was contained there were still pockets of the virus in that section that was released into the water supply area are used to contain
6:48 Daley Tactics video!!
Geeze, that's a lot of classes!
In series 3 of clone wars, delta squad commandos scorch, fixer, sev and boss make a cool cameo appearance when they recover the body of the fist jedi that savage oppress killed.
Delta squad is famous for its appearance in the game republic commando
I just had a theory about something what if the Darksaber isn’t actually a lightsaber it just acts like one and the crystal inside of it isn’t a crystal at all but like some kind of power source that activates the blade this could explain why there’s no explanation as to how a kyber crystal turns black and why most people have such an easy time wielding the blade while others who have never held a sword before find it incredibly difficult to carry it and while yes Tarre Vizsla was a Mandalorian Jedi he probably didn’t like the regular Jedi lightsabers which is why every other Mandalorain claims he created the Darksaber but the word they prefer is forged and from what we’ve seen from the Mandalorian tv show they’re very good at creating weapons and armor and according to Din Djarin the hilt of the blade is actually made of Beskar
Excellent use of punctuation
@@humanpelican642 lol nice job putting a period at the end of your sentence 🤓
so something like a beskar outer edge with energy sword around it giving a look of a lightsaber but really not the same
@@bostonrailfan2427 I guess you can put it like that and the shape of the blade is nothing like a traditional lightsaber that’s for sure probably further evidence the Darksaber is not a real lightsaber
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Republic Commando was the my favorite starwars game and therefore my favorite troopers
RIP Sicko. Never forget, ner vode.
8:31 & Commander Bacara, wished we would've Seen more of them in action
What about ARF Troopers
Epic, I love the paratroopers
Man... Wish the Blaze Trooper was canon. Those guys are dope. They consistently treated themselves like power-armored battering rams.
Nice
Next can u do every yuuzhan vong type warroir or sith?
Clone paratroopers or airborne troopers are my favorite and clone purge troopers
5:38 THEY FLY NOW!!!
Nice video! I think Fordo is canon and he was one of the Alpha Arcs, basically the prototypes of what an arc trooper should be. There were only a dozen of them and afterwards, the "Arc Trooper from birth" system was completely removed. So technically, there have been Arc troopers from birth canonically, if i'm not mixing things up.
Clones will always be the best thing in Star Wars for me.
Snow troopers should have devices that keep their blasters from freezing
I feel like some of these clone variants were just regular grunts that have different gear for different missions, like the cold weather troopers for example would be just regular guys.
This is partly true, certain clone units were intended for a certain area.
The same 501 were intended for planets with cold climates, but they were also thrown onto planets with hot ones.
There are no ARF clones here; these clones can be considered the best combat units on the battlefield.
Do you also have a video of the Legends Clone Variants?
Not yet, but I will do one in the near future 😁

ARC-Troopers were bred for that role, they only made 2-3 batches before they started recruiting exceptional clones.
clone scuba troopers also had flippers and small boosters on their back
Late upload haha noice yeah there’s a lot of clone types both in canon and in legends
Hahaha yeah, these long ones take a while to finish up, hope you enjoyed!
@@StarForceOne yeah always love the longer Star Wars lore vids keep it coming
Did kicks make it to the time of the rise of Skywalker because I’ve been hearing theories about him participating in the battle of X-Agul l
I think there is one clone with insane skill from each group and the five left are in the bad batch
Clones will always be superior
Yes, making stormtroopers look so inefficient
You forgot to include ARF (Advanced Reconnaissance Force) Troopers, they are canon as well.
Shock Troopers are still badass
Paratroopers helmet looks like the purge trooper
commandos are my favee....also they need to make a republic commando sequel
So no Null-ARCs added? They're basically my fave
