Honestly I’m fine with them not speaking in garbled voices, considering most of their lines aren’t towards other Death Troopers, so it makes sense that they would disable the encryption. The fact that they can go down in a single hit is stupid though
Going down in 1 hit makes sense, as the Death Troopers only area that they are barely improve by is their armors defensive combat functionality. They do have added bits of armor, but the way Storm Trooper style armor works it does little to support them in taking a hit, considering their armor operates the same. - The armor spreads the pain of the shot, this will remove the trooper from the fight, but massively increases survival, and gets them back into the field by the next week. The real injustice is how lacking their active combat abilities were, as they were displayed as barely any more competent than storms. All we really see in rebels is their greater strategic choices of using cover and barebone communicative tactics, rather than being clearly the elites they are. The bad aim and inability to see through smoke is horrendous. Death troopers should have been used to add suspense, which could have helped pressure the characters to better drive the struggle they go through: a result of the troopers improved combative abilities and gear.
@@bigpapan.g3245 I agree with your second point. Death Troopers were used completely wrong. However, while their armor itself wasn’t really stronger compared to standard stormtrooper armor, it had built in electromagnet shields. These aren’t as good as the shields on something like Katarn-class armor, because their main use it scrambling electronic frequencies, but it did still reduce the power of most blaster bolts to the point pistols were practically useless. Look at the finally battle in Rouge One, for example. Baze unloads a burst into a DT at one point with his blaster (which, as a reminder, needs a battery backpack because it outputs so much energy), and it takes a good half dozen shots before he goes down. If an overcharged MG takes that long, I doubt Kanan’s hand blaster could take them down in one shot.
@@ClonedGamer001 Rogue One does a better job at giving the Death Troopers justice to their elite status.

Rebel's displays give additional reasons to prove why they would be improved in later years during the Empires reign: adding defense, vision, and more. 3- The weapons used against the DT in Rogue One were weak enough for the DT to fight through.

@@bigpapan.g3245 My take on each of your four points 1- I mean, obviously you have to break the shield before you actually hit what’s behind it. My point is that the blaster used by Baze in Rouge One (an MWC-35 repeating cannon) was designed to be mounted in place as an _anti-vehicle cannon,_ and still took several shots to take down one Death Trooper. The MWC-35 supposedly had the power of five blaster rifles per shot, for reference. 2- Both Rebels and Rouge One take place in 0 BBY, so unless the equipment upgrade was developed impossibly quick, that’s out 3- While it is true that the equipment used by the Rebels varied from stolen imperial equipment to kit-bashed weapons that barely functioned, Baze’s blaster was purpose built, and once again, was intended to take down light vehicles. If one of those needed several shots to take down a Death Trooper, I really doubt one shot from Kanan’s blaster (a DL-18) or a deflected shot from one of the DT’s own weapons (a E-11D carbine) would break through 4- The correct option. Lazy writing is the only reason, full stop.

@@noahmaldonado5461 bro same here but on yavin I held down a control point until I say I believe a prequels obi-wan I was so confused I didn’t see the 13 enemies rushing the point
Most Battlefront gamers have never held a real weapon, have never been in a life threatening situation let alone actual combat, have the luxury of seeing around corners in 3p, have the luxury of being able to fight after being shot several times in the body, all while sitting in an air conditioned building with a controller in their hands.
This is just the worst....their entire distinct sound is because of encrypted channels to talk to each other. Secondly these are the best the Empire has to offer yet they're no better than Stormtroopers here, and lastly their visors have the ability to see through an impairment like smoke, that's kind of the whole point of them....I can't believe how bad they butchered these guys.
Considering none of the characters knew what they were saying it’s safe to say that is audience perspective, they did have scrambled voices to the characters just not to us so we understand them, like in movies when aliens aren’t speaking English but to us viewers they do so we understand them, I believe halo did that with elites at some point, as for power level they only really get seen fighting Jedi and the likes of saw Guerrera who’s fought them constantly, like look how weak mandos look in TCW but that’s only cause they’re seen fighting each other and the best of the best clones, and in s3 finale until bendu showed up the empire won
Also at 2:45 look how clear the voice through the com link on the receivers end is, she sounds completely different because on the death troopers side it’s scrambled still but the comlink unscrambles it for the officer
Would it have been cool if death troopers were kept mysterious by having them always speak in garbled noises? Maybe, but it would’ve been annoying having to decipher conversations between an officer and a DT. It would be like watching Luke talk to R2, just hearing him go “hm, good point” and being left to infer what the droid said to him. I guess it could’ve been a fun challenge for the writers but I think they decided it would’ve limited them somehow.
Theory: The death troopers on board the cargo transport are just regular storm troopers with normal equipment painted black. The kyber crystal onboard was meant to lure rebel Jedi and the guards had to look important as to not appear suspicious. It would not make sense for regular storm troopers to be guarding a kyber crystal. Thrawn probably planned the mission after finding out about about Kanan knowing exactly where kyber crystals were stored amongst 3 ships in season 1. The size of the crystal ensures that transporting it would be somewhat difficult or dangerous and the prisoners were on the ship to ensure that the rebels did not try to destroy the unstable crystal. What Thrawn did not expect was for Saw to be there to accept civilian casualties. This theory is dumb, but I’m doing the best I can to make sense of things.
One thing that always makes me laugh is that, we’re supposed to support the rebellion and hate the empire, yet we never see the “good guys” not automatically shoot or leave imperials aboard ships about to blow. Like, why not take some prisoners of war, maybe show the imperials that your not just savages who want to topple the government. Idk, just seems funny to me
In my opinion the Empire were the good guys. I have plenty of reasons but a big one is that they actually cared about establishing order and actually having a presence on just about all of the empires worlds and crime and corruption isn't nearly as bad during the Republic Era. Also the Republic that the rebels make is pretty much just the same as before with barely no presence on other Republic worlds other than the core worlds. Also the new republic is so incompetent even moreso than the Empire with the new republic allowing and barely doing anything about the reveal of a Empire remnant military junta just emerging to conquer and destroy the new republic not to mention desolving roughly 90% of their military.
@@adamisacomedian6344 huh???????? What???? The empire condoned slavery, made life hell if you weren’t a rich human, and the reason they cared about “order” is because Turns out being insane oppressors causes a shit ton of rebellions. What sort of awful comment is this?
The helmet thing was probably a joke they left in, but the only reason they never hit the main cast is because of plot armor, and the storm troopers let them escape the Death Star so they would lead the empire to the rebel base
I'm suprised they didn't blame Kathleen Kennedy. All the good episodes and scenes: God bless Filoni. All the bad Episodes and scenes: Kathleen Kenmedy ruined Star Wars.
1:30 I thought Death troopers had the ability to see through smoke, these rebels would have never defeated them that easy. Disney has to nerf them soo much because it’s a kids show. Bruh
20 or so rounds at stationary targets between 3 elite death troopers at about 20 meters with the element of suprise and the high ground and they all miss. Hera grabs a blaster, does a 180 while landing on her back and one shots them with 100% accuracy. I hate plot armor so much.
You know, this is just disappointing and highlights the problems in rebels, the enemy never feel like a threat, in the clone wars the commando droids were elite troops and felt like a constant threat to our protagonists when they were on screen, whilst the rest of the droid army were incompetent the elite troops in it put Our heroes in danger and were not just another battle droid The death troops should play a similar part to the commando droids. A large threat that isn't easily defeated like an average stormtrooper. This version of death trooper's is just a re-skin of this shows depictions of stormtroopers, easily killed and humiliated with nothing special about them, just cannon fodder
Also another point is that droids could still be an incredible threat due to their numbers allowing to kill clones who didn’t have many allies at that moment
@@macvadda2318 I know witch is why I find it funny that people complain droids are useless in a 1v1 I mean they are meant to be lol, but yeah totally agree with you
I know this is late but that's why the clone wars were designed so well, the fact that they are clones allows them to have the same feeling as characters we love like rex or cody, but still allows death without killing off a main character.
No shit droids are shit. They're supposed to be shit. They're supposed to be cheap, weak but easy to mass produced. The idea stems from the Clone wars where the Republic prefers Quality while the CIS prefers Quantity. CIS army are able to beat Clone armies and Jedi through numbers
@@firingallcylinders2949 Well, I know, but it still hurts. I mean they could have managed to make the rebels escape in a more realistic way. They could have let it be less Death Troopers or the troopers could have just arrived when the rebels were already in the ship or something like that.
Notice in the smoke scene that they can't see through smoke and their voice modulator is disabled? You can see that the Rebels disabled these, because the normally luminescent green eyes on the helmets are off. Saw Garrera is truly smart
Krenic: Stormtroopers secure the area Stormtroopers: YES SIR Krenic: Hovertank pilots uh pilot your hovertanks Hovertank pilots: Yes sir Krenic: Death troopers stand in the back and look really menacing Death troopers: *Silence*

@@ventris425productions5 Even Thrawn was largely underwhelming in Rebels. His performance, voice acting, and only some of his participation was great, but compared to other media, Thrawn here wasn't all that great.
@@Imperialstorm03 Thrawn is artificially good in the story. By what I mean is that the Rebels lose half their brain cells when he's around. He doesn't win because he's smart, he wins because the Rebels become flaming retards when he's around.

1:43 Fun fact: The person who voices the commanding Death Trooper in the Kyber Crystal Episode (Jennifer Hale) also voices Aayla Secura in the Clone Wars
She is mostly known in Video Games such as the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series, Bastila Shan in Knights of the Old Republic, Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime trilogy, and Rivet in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Fun fact: The reason the Death Troopers couldn't see through the smoke was because Sabine tampered with the smoke grenades to scrabble the sensors like she said in the episode since she was a former member of the empire.

Design-wise, I actually really love what they did with the death troopers, the normal ones are supposed to have attachments on the sides of their helmets, but without them, like seen here, they manage to look alot sleeker and (in my opinion) cooler, where as the death trooper specialist (seen at 1:28) has the thing on their helmet along with their extra combat gear. Normally it's the other way around, but like this, they look better in my opinion
@@ventris425productions5 Yeah, but they're too thin for my taste. I mean, their physical capabilities are supposed to be "somewhat beyond human". Do their stick legs and noodle arms look super human to you?

Honestly, after watching Rogue One, I believe that Grand Admiral Thrawn should have been guarded by a much more elite and lethal force of troopers. Watching Death Troopers die so easily from an Asian guy barely moving in Rogue One made me lose all respect for the death troopers. If anything, a man of such high rank (Grand Admiral) should be guarded by Phase 3 Dark Troopers or hell, even Imperial Shadow Guards, although I think that may be a bit too extreme.
@@TheNobleFive No, that’s not who I’m talking about. 🤦♂️ I’m talking about the man who avenges him, the guy with the big ass gun. That’s why I say “an Asian guy barely moving” because he was already weak and was BARELY MOVING, yet the death troopers weren’t able to hit him with first like 4-5 shots at close range. BTW this was towards end of the movie.
For the issue of the death troopers not being able to see through smoke, it’s plausible that Sabine is using IR Jamming smoke, which scrambles anything that uses infrared to see through obstacles. As for why their voices aren’t scrambled and their tactics generally suck, I have no explanation.
I find it amazing that the description of their height, weight, etc. have been completely ignored after their first appearance. It went from “ The few, the proud, the elite” to “anyone who wants to be can be.”
@@andruspolanco6935 even if that’s the case they would have stuck behind cover and a shot from a small hand blaster is not enough to kill a death trooper
In the book guide it states they have an advanced HUB with Infrared and night vision with a targeting system and range finder which is that helmet camera thing that some have but the night vision and infrared are built into the helmet with the HUD that links to their weapons but all stormtroopers and Clone troopers have that but it’s not used for plot shielding
5:00 Bruh, they fired several times and couldn't hit, Hera just fired once and hit after that she doesn't even care about getting hit lmao, she just walks slowly. I hate plot armor.
My complaint with death trooper 1: armor still cant take much of a hit 2: no thermal scanner to see in smoke like wtf that’s like the basic for advance full cover helmet 3: PLOT ARMOR STILL SCREW YOU
1: it’s actually just regular stormtrooper armour painted black 2: the smoke grenade might have doubled as an EMP grenade as its Star Wars 3 plot armour is literally in everything you can’t have an action series with main characters without it
Kinda wished they made them as strong as possible and made them to where you had to outsmart them rather then nerfing them all together because those guys can see through smoke with ease
These guys definitely have a great presence however I would often imagine these guys as silent killers. And when they talk, they would have a very distinct sound that will give the watcher goosebumps whenever heard, kinda like darth vader

I once got a 50+ killstreak while playing as a death trooper on co-op jabba's palace
@@noahmaldonado5461 bro same here but on yavin I held down a control point until I say I believe a prequels obi-wan I was so confused I didn’t see the 13 enemies rushing the point
And most gamers haven’t even had combat training
Fr I always get tons of kills with Death troopers it’s so fun
Most Battlefront gamers have never held a real weapon, have never been in a life threatening situation let alone actual combat, have the luxury of seeing around corners in 3p, have the luxury of being able to fight after being shot several times in the body, all while sitting in an air conditioned building with a controller in their hands.
This is just the worst....their entire distinct sound is because of encrypted channels to talk to each other. Secondly these are the best the Empire has to offer yet they're no better than Stormtroopers here, and lastly their visors have the ability to see through an impairment like smoke, that's kind of the whole point of them....I can't believe how bad they butchered these guys.
Considering none of the characters knew what they were saying it’s safe to say that is audience perspective, they did have scrambled voices to the characters just not to us so we understand them, like in movies when aliens aren’t speaking English but to us viewers they do so we understand them, I believe halo did that with elites at some point, as for power level they only really get seen fighting Jedi and the likes of saw Guerrera who’s fought them constantly, like look how weak mandos look in TCW but that’s only cause they’re seen fighting each other and the best of the best clones, and in s3 finale until bendu showed up the empire won
Also at 2:45 look how clear the voice through the com link on the receivers end is, she sounds completely different because on the death troopers side it’s scrambled still but the comlink unscrambles it for the officer
@@connorgarvin2056 thats honestly overthinking it
Would it have been cool if death troopers were kept mysterious by having them always speak in garbled noises? Maybe, but it would’ve been annoying having to decipher conversations between an officer and a DT. It would be like watching Luke talk to R2, just hearing him go “hm, good point” and being left to infer what the droid said to him.
I guess it could’ve been a fun challenge for the writers but I think they decided it would’ve limited them somehow.
Who would win:
Elite storm troopers with lots of training led by the best admiral in the Empire.
Some rebel bois with plot armour
to be fair phoneix squad are the finest rebels.
Lmao it’s not that hard to fight the Empire
@@NickMartinproductions uh? the only reason why rebels won due to luke and vader gave his life for luke. without that rebels would not win
Theory: The death troopers on board the cargo transport are just regular storm troopers with normal equipment painted black. The kyber crystal onboard was meant to lure rebel Jedi and the guards had to look important as to not appear suspicious. It would not make sense for regular storm troopers to be guarding a kyber crystal. Thrawn probably planned the mission after finding out about about Kanan knowing exactly where kyber crystals were stored amongst 3 ships in season 1. The size of the crystal ensures that transporting it would be somewhat difficult or dangerous and the prisoners were on the ship to ensure that the rebels did not try to destroy the unstable crystal. What Thrawn did not expect was for Saw to be there to accept civilian casualties. This theory is dumb, but I’m doing the best I can to make sense of things.
I think you might be giving them too much credit (both the directors of the show and the imperials) but nice theory :)
@@delta9685 Thank you, I still think my theory is dumb though.

One thing that always makes me laugh is that, we’re supposed to support the rebellion and hate the empire, yet we never see the “good guys” not automatically shoot or leave imperials aboard ships about to blow. Like, why not take some prisoners of war, maybe show the imperials that your not just savages who want to topple the government. Idk, just seems funny to me
Yep, that’s why I always try to root for the empire but we all know how cliche movies go. The good guys always win in kids cartoons 🙄
@@henrysmith4323 yep
In my opinion the Empire were the good guys. I have plenty of reasons but a big one is that they actually cared about establishing order and actually having a presence on just about all of the empires worlds and crime and corruption isn't nearly as bad during the Republic Era. Also the Republic that the rebels make is pretty much just the same as before with barely no presence on other Republic worlds other than the core worlds. Also the new republic is so incompetent even moreso than the Empire with the new republic allowing and barely doing anything about the reveal of a Empire remnant military junta just emerging to conquer and destroy the new republic not to mention desolving roughly 90% of their military.
I mean I believe it ends with them straight blowing up tens of thousands of people on a ship, Rebels? More like Terrorists
@@adamisacomedian6344 huh???????? What???? The empire condoned slavery, made life hell if you weren’t a rich human, and the reason they cared about “order” is because Turns out being insane oppressors causes a shit ton of rebellions. What sort of awful comment is this?
I like how these comments all blame Disney but never specifically blame Dave Filoni for this...........
The helmet thing was probably a joke they left in, but the only reason they never hit the main cast is because of plot armor, and the storm troopers let them escape the Death Star so they would lead the empire to the rebel base
I'm suprised they didn't blame Kathleen Kennedy.
All the good episodes and scenes: God bless Filoni.
All the bad Episodes and scenes: Kathleen Kenmedy ruined Star Wars.

Based moment
You do realize the Rebels literally disable a scene before?
20 or so rounds at stationary targets between 3 elite death troopers at about 20 meters with the element of suprise and the high ground and they all miss.
Hera grabs a blaster, does a 180 while landing on her back and one shots them with 100% accuracy. I hate plot armor so much.
You know, this is just disappointing and highlights the problems in rebels, the enemy never feel like a threat, in the clone wars the commando droids were elite troops and felt like a constant threat to our protagonists when they were on screen, whilst the rest of the droid army were incompetent the elite troops in it put Our heroes in danger and were not just another battle droid
The death troops should play a similar part to the commando droids. A large threat that isn't easily defeated like an average stormtrooper. This version of death trooper's is just a re-skin of this shows depictions of stormtroopers, easily killed and humiliated with nothing special about them, just cannon fodder
Also another point is that droids could still be an incredible threat due to their numbers allowing to kill clones who didn’t have many allies at that moment
@@ventris425productions5 tbh, the droids were kinda meant to be strength in numbers
@@macvadda2318 I know witch is why I find it funny that people complain droids are useless in a 1v1 I mean they are meant to be lol, but yeah totally agree with you
I know this is late but that's why the clone wars were designed so well, the fact that they are clones allows them to have the same feeling as characters we love like rex or cody, but still allows death without killing off a main character.
No shit droids are shit. They're supposed to be shit. They're supposed to be cheap, weak but easy to mass produced. The idea stems from the Clone wars where the Republic prefers Quality while the CIS prefers Quantity. CIS army are able to beat Clone armies and Jedi through numbers
I like the insane detail on the comms, The female death troopers voice doesnt have the usual muffle when she is talking to the bridge
5:00 What is this crap, where the hell is there aim, they're elite troopers!
This is plot armor, and naturally Syndulla hits her first shot.....if this was true to canon the rebels would have been dead in seconds.
@@firingallcylinders2949 Well, I know, but it still hurts. I mean they could have managed to make the rebels escape in a more realistic way. They could have let it be less Death Troopers or the troopers could have just arrived when the rebels were already in the ship or something like that.
Disney rusined storm troopers
@@bloq6758 absolutely

Man these cadets, my goodness they've grown
Any movie: *Creates elite new Troopers that are trained to kill rebels*
Disney: Best I can do is get shot once and die
Notice in the smoke scene that they can't see through smoke and their voice modulator is disabled? You can see that the Rebels disabled these, because the normally luminescent green eyes on the helmets are off. Saw Garrera is truly smart

@@ventris425productions5 I'll have to agree there.... Somewhat.
@@Imperialstorm03 Thrawn is artificially good in the story. By what I mean is that the Rebels lose half their brain cells when he's around. He doesn't win because he's smart, he wins because the Rebels become flaming retards when he's around.
We saw very different Death Troopers in Rogue One. Those were actually bad ass. Gave the rebels hell.
Pretty late to say anything but the Death Trooper don't seem weak minded so its unclear why the mind trick worked on him.
I wish they would make a death trooper series where we actually see them winning battles, successfully accomplishing top secret missions, and other cool stuff.
1:43 Fun fact: The person who voices the commanding Death Trooper in the Kyber Crystal Episode (Jennifer Hale) also voices Aayla Secura in the Clone Wars
She is mostly known in Video Games such as the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series, Bastila Shan in Knights of the Old Republic, Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime trilogy, and Rivet in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
7:32 Are these the two undead death troopers we see in Ahsoka?
I would assume so
I love the death troopers, massively underrated in the show. One thing I do love is the sound of their blasters at 1:21 1:24 1:46
Its called e - 11d
Fun fact: The reason the Death Troopers couldn't see through the smoke was because Sabine tampered with the smoke grenades to scrabble the sensors like she said in the episode since she was a former member of the empire.
Also they could probably turn the voice scramblers off
@@omarbaba9892 It doesn't make much sense to why they would do that, since they can hear each other over comms so I just like to pretend they didn't have those yet

@@shernweilee5576 Pretty much
@@edgyplays0290 When in the episode does she say this? And is it this specific Part 2 Episode of In The Name of The Rebellion because I rewatched the episode and didn’t hear her say anything about it.

2:16 I feel like that’s the same death trooper from episode 15 of the Bad Batch when she escaped from Tipoca City
No, That Elite's name was ES-02, this is DT-16
Design-wise, I actually really love what they did with the death troopers, the normal ones are supposed to have attachments on the sides of their helmets, but without them, like seen here, they manage to look alot sleeker and (in my opinion) cooler, where as the death trooper specialist (seen at 1:28) has the thing on their helmet along with their extra combat gear. Normally it's the other way around, but like this, they look better in my opinion
I think the sleek ones look better in rebels but the armoured ones look better in rogue one
@@ventris425productions5 Yeah, but they're too thin for my taste. I mean, their physical capabilities are supposed to be "somewhat beyond human". Do their stick legs and noodle arms look super human to you?

6:04 IMPOSTER SUS!?!?!?!?!
Amogus?!?😳
Death Troopers. The Empire's Commando droids.
Honestly, after watching Rogue One, I believe that Grand Admiral Thrawn should have been guarded by a much more elite and lethal force of troopers. Watching Death Troopers die so easily from an Asian guy barely moving in Rogue One made me lose all respect for the death troopers. If anything, a man of such high rank (Grand Admiral) should be guarded by Phase 3 Dark Troopers or hell, even Imperial Shadow Guards, although I think that may be a bit too extreme.
Cope.
You mean a martial artist at peace with himself tapping into the force? That's like how half of stormtroopers in this franchise die lol.
@@TheNobleFive No, that’s not who I’m talking about. 🤦♂️ I’m talking about the man who avenges him, the guy with the big ass gun. That’s why I say “an Asian guy barely moving” because he was already weak and was BARELY MOVING, yet the death troopers weren’t able to hit him with first like 4-5 shots at close range. BTW this was towards end of the movie.
Considering how they are in Battlefront 2... It makes sense why these guys guard Thrawn
It doesn't matter how elite the imperial troopers are, when facing the plot armor on the rebel side, there just isn't a single way to win.
They're not supposed to talk it's supposed to be scrambled like how the royal guards have their own language
I just love that they sound inhuman even when their voices aren't scrambled (almost like Sev from Delta Squad)
The one thing that constantly takes me out of rebels is the fact no one* is killed by light sabers.
*Only 4 people.
Maul stabbed an Inquisitor and Grand Inquisitor beheaded 2 Imperial Officers
Ezra kills them when they break out Hondo
2:18 nice how they mention Director Orson Krennic and as well as the Chain of Imperial Command
I love death troopers on Rogue One but they just look funny in Rebels and Mando
Lowkey the blaster sound effects for the e-11d sound better then the rouge one sound effect
Death troopers have voice modificators that permit their voices to be heard only by vader and others death troopers btw.
Why do they have to use them if they don’t differentiate them at all from normal stormtroopers?
Just imagine Ezra and Sabine and Zeb fighting 501st clones instead of deathtroopers, and plot armour was disabled.
Where the 501st is Vader is there too that means we get another siege of lothal part 2 scene
I get they were fodder in this show, but damn his voice is cool
5:11
I agree
I like the commander’s voice, the helmet makes her sound less human.
In 5:20, did you notice that the death trooper sounded a bit like a commando droid
oh true
The boss during the fight: *Death troopers in R1*
The boss when you unlock him: *Death troopers here*
when you re-watch your childhood show and you understand it connects with the canon: *interesting*
We are not part of your useless childhood. Go get a job anyways
I loved these moments
For the issue of the death troopers not being able to see through smoke, it’s plausible that Sabine is using IR Jamming smoke, which scrambles anything that uses infrared to see through obstacles. As for why their voices aren’t scrambled and their tactics generally suck, I have no explanation.
Man Death Troopers were so cool
Me too bro, i love the helnet design
6:00 “Lock down the perimeter! Order all units to report in! We have a SUSSY BAKA IMPOSTER loose on site!”
Aren’t Death Troopers supposed to have scramblers so that most people wouldn’t understand what they were saying?
Yes
They can probably turn them off when they’re not on a mission
I find it amazing that the description of their height, weight, etc. have been completely ignored after their first appearance. It went from “ The few, the proud, the elite” to “anyone who wants to be can be.”
They did the death troopers dirty in this show 😤
Worse part is there’s a scene in smoke where the rebels fool them when the death troopers Literally have night vision and something else
It's literally said that Sabine did something so they can't do that
@@andruspolanco6935 even if that’s the case they would have stuck behind cover and a shot from a small hand blaster is not enough to kill a death trooper
@@andruspolanco6935 ok yes, your right but the death troopers should have moved back to a more advantageous position
Death Troopers are bodyguards to high ranking officers of the Empire.
In the book guide it states they have an advanced HUB with Infrared and night vision with a targeting system and range finder which is that helmet camera thing that some have but the night vision and infrared are built into the helmet with the HUD that links to their weapons but all stormtroopers and Clone troopers have that but it’s not used for plot shielding
the Death Trooper voice is different in live-action
Voice scamblers
5:24 (Scrambled Voice) Alright you two, Numbers and Clearance Codes Now.
Fact: this show would have done much better with clone wars/ bad batch animation
Love to see shadow troopers and darktroopers and novatroopers in this.
I wonder if Pick and Waffle are always next to thrawn
The rebels scene with the smoke always made me mad their helmets have a special heads up display that allows them to see through smokes or fogs
1:53. Rebels can see through smoke clearly without any gear but death troopers can't even with thermal vidion
Awesome foot soldiers
1:43 I'm sorry but did that death trooper just SPEAK?! God what happened to speaking in a language only they could understand
Filoni forgot
I love how the E-11d sounds in Rebels
The idea that Death Trooper helmets cannot circumvent a smoke screen is hilarious.
5:00 Bruh, they fired several times and couldn't hit, Hera just fired once and hit after that she doesn't even care about getting hit lmao, she just walks slowly. I hate plot armor.
Crazy how disney made every "elite" unit just fodder, first death troopers now commandos
Not in every project, blud.
The Death Troopers are more easier to understand what they’re saying than Rogue One.
these guys should not have been in rebels if they’re just gonna nerf them into the ground like a vast majority of imps
They have really strong armour and they are super soldier cyborgs, they don’t die easily
My complaint with death trooper
1: armor still cant take much of a hit
2: no thermal scanner to see in smoke like wtf that’s like the basic for advance full cover helmet
3: PLOT ARMOR STILL SCREW YOU
1: it’s actually just regular stormtrooper armour painted black
2: the smoke grenade might have doubled as an EMP grenade as its Star Wars
3 plot armour is literally in everything you can’t have an action series with main characters without it
Kinda wished they made them as strong as possible and made them to where you had to outsmart them rather then nerfing them all together because those guys can see through smoke with ease
3:53 yo if I were in Star Wars and I was a death trooper, that would be me guaranteed 😎
If I wanted to be part of the empire I would be a death trooper too 😎
My man 🤯🔥
These guys definitely have a great presence however I would often imagine these guys as silent killers. And when they talk, they would have a very distinct sound that will give the watcher goosebumps whenever heard, kinda like darth vader
Man they really made Deathtroopers into another canon fodder but with cool armor
