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.
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
Kind of highlights the main flaw of the Empire that Palpatine enforced. Inner competition and infighting. Thrawn, Hemlock, and the Grand inquistor each inflicted momumental amounts of damage, but their infighting among their ranks, and lack of cooperation make them much easier to deal with than otherwise.
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.
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.
Funny thing is that the first time I saw that episode I thought there were like 20 of these operatives. Only upon another watch I realized that there were just 5.
@@californiadreams1170 yes, however we know there were at least seven throughout the show. There were the first two assassins that Rex nabbed and then these five. It’s also implied that the clone rebellion ran into a couple more CX assassins between seasons 2 and 3, so Hemlock probably tried to make as many as possible.
His lack of concern of the base got him killed and research if I was himlock I would alerted high command and evacuate myself and all important military assets
@@rafaeljohnson6434 I know it’s just Star Wars but this is a problem if regimes that rely on punishment to maintain order. The officers are more afraid of their own military than the enemy
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
pretty much, damn imagine if they made it so that they were more of a threat throughout the series 😞 would if worked super well! a beautiful scene where they are fighting basically themself!
Though for me it's also a parallel to the scene in Mando season 3, where Din finds a bunch of Moff Gideon clones and destroys them before he can use them "You snuffed them before they even drew first breath"
@@MrTragedious986if they scrapped the Ventress stuff then they would’ve had two free episodes to do a lot more with. I think it would’ve been cool if the sniper CX did turn out to be a clone we knew, and those two extra episodes could’ve been used as a buildup to that. Or if they nabbed Rampart before Omega surrendered.
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.
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.
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.
I do wish we got a fourth season so we could see more of the cx troopers they were scary and cool I also liked how they were like the evil or dark version of the bad batch
CX-0 (the assassin from Coruscant, a.k.a Clone X) CX-1 (assassin from pentora) CX-2 (Crosshair’s nemesis from Teth) CX-3 (the samurai with the electric spear staff) CX-4 (the Warrior with the dual vibro-swords) CX-5 (the one with the electric bowlers and only one with RGB lighting on his knuckles) Cx-6 (the last one killed by the clone trooper)
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.
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
I wish we got another season with the cx troopers or shadow clones they were cool and fact they don't scream or yell in pain as they die is haunting like the cx2 trooper who was electrified by hunter brutal.
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
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
@@Unboundthe2nd-zu5jr first it wouldn't make sense for Vader to show up on Tantiss since Palpatine wouldn't want that guy anywhere near that place and second if he would have shown up nobody would have survived
@@Psub950 i think it would make sense because of how important project necromancer might be to the emporer but anyways im just saying would have been a cool battle to watch
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
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
I feel like since that one assassin wasnt revealed to be Cody it leaves big potential for another show especially to see how commander wolf joined Rex. They also need to explain what happened with project necromancer considering darth sidious did come back and it was mentioned in mandolorian. They also should make a show on delta squad because I feel like bringing back scorch alone for no reason especially just to kill him off was unnecessary if they weren’t going to expand on it later. I really do wish they had that assassin be tech even if he died it just would have been a cool seen but none the less bad batch left us with a lot of cliff hangers/opportunities for future shows
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 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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.

The sniper's armor is cold as fuck.

- 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)

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”
"Clone Winter Soldier!!!"
My first reaction to seeing these guys was that they had to be Dark Trooper phase 1, but they were obviously not
Hemlock tried to recreate the Bad Batch, he failed miserably.. No one can recreate the Bad Batch.
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
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.
So basically phase 0 Dark Troopers without the jetpack.
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
The cx troopers all have rgb lights
I think hemlock wanted to create evil versions if clone force 99
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
They kinda look like Helldivers
Exactly what I thought

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

Was really hoping for scar squadron
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.
The cx trooper with the spear has a helmet that looks alot like the inquistors
Thats really cool! Have a great day and may the fourth be with you!🎉
These clones heavily remind me of task force 99
1:16 his helmet got taken off and he looks like a basic clone
It was nice to see HEADSHOTS back. Its been too long. Im sure you all know what i mean
There was another Cx trooper btw there was one with another visor over there head
IM STILL TRYNA FIND OUT WHAT BLASTER THE SNIPER USES
If techo was alive was a four vs four Battle epic
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
There there were five assassin clone troopers in the last episode Check it again
i ready ilke all 3 of them
There was a fifth one that you missed. He had green LED lighting
I keep seeing a fifth one cuz the helmet design is different and has greenish-blue ear lights.
they call themselves the worst batch
Is that just me or do they kinda look like helldivers
3:21 why just why did he have to cut his hand
But wasn’t there 2 Tantiss bases?
I surprise one of him dont Is a Giant like wrecker whit a hammer bro
Underutilised group. They should've been introduced much earlier
i really wished that hemlock revived or just lied about tech's death and made him into his pawn
What about CX-5?!
they look like a bunch of mercenaries rather than commando unit, i think that their desing was really bad
Am I the only one that thinks the CX clones didn’t even look like clone like they could have been better
Bruh i loved the finale but it felt like a missed opportunity for some characters from the Republic Commando novels 😭
