i remember behind the scenes for this episode that Dave Filoni talked about how they didn't want to over use the commando droids to give the impression that they were a really rare and expensive variant, i think a single commando droid was as expensive as like a squad of regular B1s
One thing thing I noticed is that when the commando droid gets shot, the lasers are red, even though captain, Rex and Commander Cody are clearly using republic weapons 6:21
9:28 When the rookies keep shooting the droid they're probably just following one of the oldest military rules: keep shooting your enemy until you know they're no longer a threat. Kinda the same principle as double-taps I guess
@@josephsuh525Their only uses for spec ops, vital targets etc. Missions normal B1's, B2's, droidekas etc cannot work in. Perhaps they were but if your referring to the clone wars animated show that came before the TV animated show then they weren't even concieved at the time.
They're also not that amazing when marching in formation. Their aim is better, sure, but they die about as easily as a B1. Still kind of strange that they weren't patrolling the _Invisible Hand,_ but maybe they were and we just didn't see them.
razor and stak are my favorite semi-background clones. they were 2 ARFs with Windu on ryloth, and they _killed_ it. usually you have your few random clones with your "main character" and they all die, but no these two kept up with _Mace Windu_ and took on a squad of commando droids and won
@1:36, As someone who has regularly worn a gunbelt or equipment on a duty belt, this is actually a pretty natural and instinctive pose, especially if you're wearing body armor on the chest like Anakin is (though Obi-Wan doesn't seem to mind crossing his arms over his chest), since it makes crossing your arms over your chest kinda difficult. So hands-on-the-hips is the next best thing, and if there's something to rest your hands on... well, even better!
With the minigun you have to take in fire rate, spread of droids, and their distance. The first 8 were maybe 5 feet from heavy, but the main group looked to be at least 40 feet away. The hallway may only show a part of the droids since the b1 were more of an overwhelming force.
Actually every kill Rex makes in the first 9 minutes of this video is a heads hot. The commando disguised as a trooper, headshot. the rishi eel, shot in the eye. the commando Droid in the door and the ones in the control center bar the commando captain, all headshots. The Z-6 or minigun is interesting, it seems to have variable fire rates. Hevy's here fires pretty fast but doesn't seem too powerful, on Umbara, hardcases Z-6 has a slower fire rate but is more accurate and downs umbarans in one shot. Cutup is one of my favorites cuz he's Irish and a comedian. I also like Denal cuz he wounded Cad Bane and survived Greivous and his lore is insane. Lastly I'd probably say Keeli (because drip) or Hawk who survives from the battle of christophsis to the imperial Era as a clone pilot. That's insane, even Oddball died in RoTS and he was the only other clone pilot with a similar lifespan (Contrail or shadow eleven from the malevolence mission dies in Vaders arms in Legends) but cannonically, Hawk and Oddball were the oldest known clone pilots
The reason they didn’t used commando droids often is the mission on this episode they captured the outpost first but got eliminated but when they send a whole carrier of normal droids they can recapture the outpost and fully control it so the separatist saw that the commando droids where only worth in small special operations but not for big battles (The showrunner said that in an interview)
I love the fact that the commando droids are so agile. Also with the sword it's a good combo. 11:36 the droid is the best actor in star wars history 😂 I think Rex is the best clone but i like CT-5555 (Fives) the most.
I'd say the regular droids are for battlefields and large scale assaults. Commando droids would be used mostly for infiltration and sabotage missions. But that's just my guess. That's why they're not in Revenge Of The Sith. We only see large battles in that movie.
I remember this episode was on repeat on CW back in the day. After a while i got annoyed, but now i would love to see it over and over again. But i did always like the commando droids and seeing clones be awesome
4:45 this scene always confuses me. The dude says "Don't forget about those rishi eels" then 15 seconds later when he starts shooting it he shouts "what the hell was that" 🤔
To explain the BX Commando Droids were extremely expensive due to material and software being put in them a B1 can be programmed with a small infantry algorithm a BX however requires a larger algorithm including a voice modulator.
From research in Star Wars Lore, the B1s were the cheapest to make which is why arguably their seen more often since like the Galactic Empire, the Separatist focused Quantity over Quality, & thus the Commando Droids were seen for only “important” black ops missions and or as bodyguards at times.
Favourite clone? Hmmm... Unpopular opinion, but Fox is quite high on that list for whatever reason. Tech too... Doom... Bacara and Neyo... Idk, there are SO many to choose from... Echo's pretty cool too... But all in all, I think Fox and Tech might be topping the list entirely.
Fun fact at 5:53 after Rex shoots the commando droid Cody says what the heck but myself and others remember it being “Rex what the hell” or something along those lines
The reason they didn’t commonly use candy droids in battle is because they are more stealth focused and are harder to use in large numbers because just imagine like 1000 of these guys just jumping around ducking and rolling it would be chaos
I still have no idea how they’re able to make their characters say hell and damn, which is crazy, considering the fact that Hell and damn by far your more friendly curse words, and also have a friendlier version with those being heck and dang.
I had to rewatch the moment where Rex one shot’s the first droid (the one pretending to be a clone) like five times because I could’ve SWORN Cosy said “fuck! Rex!!!” but I knew it couldn’t possibly be that bc they could NOT have gotten away with something like that. But it sounds sooo much like an f-bomb
If you want some nightmare fuel, and a good episode to breakdown, id suggest Season 2, Episode 8, Brain Invaders. Maybe Legacy of Terror but I do think Brain Invaders could be fun.
my favorite clone is arc trooper fives because he just acts so cool through out the clone wars from nearly being put to sanitation to becoming a arc trooper I just think that is sick just to mention I also like the clone trooper caption rex
Heavy was my favorite clone for such a long time(not including rex at least) and so much so to the point I named one of my lego clones heavy in memoriam as a kid.
Favorite clone is Cody! XD Something I like about this episode is how Cody's scar is just barely healed at this stage of the war --- you can see how it's still reddish and scabby in places, probably from his helmet and sweat irritating it, and even some gnarly lines where stitches or staples were. I also like how Rex loaned Cody one of his pistols, then later he chooses his classic rifle (DC 15A).
My favorite clone trooper is CT-99. He overcame his disability and didn't let it keep him from doing his best to help his brothers. He was a very wise man and a hero.
Also if you noticed, once the commando's got taken out. That little red light of their chest goes off.....somewhat showing that they were finally powered down
4:59 They actually went back and censored that after the premier. In reruns on Cartoon Network he just said "WHAT, WAS, THAT" I assume the Disney+ version is the original
You should watch some of the lightsaber fights in slo mo such as kenobi vs maul and savage then obi wan and anakin vs dooku. Dooku kept anakin on defense and obi wan on offense just toying with them
I realized something too when i watched it again these days. When the clones escape through the vents Eco looks into orbit where the CIS-fleet is seen, with 2 Lukrahulks. Later when the republic fleet arrives in oribt only the freggetts are seen until 5sec later Eco again looks into orbit and the Lukrahulks magicly appear again.
For favourite clone,its clone #99. He fought with his friends from what remained of Domino squad,and also sacrificed himself to give them thermal detonators.
I could never get over the pinup girls we sometimes see in the background of some clone areas. It comes up multiple times and it Takes Me Out every time lolllll
AH rewatching the Battle of Rishi hits so different after watching the ARC Troopers episode. I mean I just got attached go these guys, just to see them get killed off like side characters throughout the episode! Cutup was peolly my favorite, I loved his quippy personality sm, n he just DIES to a MOON WORM
the lore was 1 standard guy (the spindly dude from episode 1) was 2k credits apiece and relied on walls of fire/following orders blindly the Commandos were about 100 times more expensive, needed for more unique roles, and while needing initial orders, followed it in their own way. The biggest appeal when they debuted, the voice modulator, could also be spotted easily due to the monotone pace.
fun little movie mistake that you missed out on: when cody and rex leave the shuttle on the landing platform, their collapsable buttstock on their dc15s switches between expanded and collapsed from shot to shot, as if they werent sure what they wanna go with also if I remember right there is one shot where the buttstocks are both collapsed and expanded at the same time or missing completely, I gotta rewatch it
I love how Cody trusts Rex so much that whenever he just point blank shoots a “clone” in the head Cody’s reactions is just woah Rex what are you doing?💀
My Favorite clones are Bly, Appo and Denal. I think Bly is a really neglected child when it comes to Clones, he and his troops look so badass, but is hugely underused.
As a 20 year old I’m not legally aloud to conceal my firearm so I open carry, and I rest my forearm on my gun similar to anakin 1:40 anyway, Micheal I’ve watched this series start to finish over 13x at least. I think it’d be fun to do something like a watch party on twitch/UA-cam if that’s aloud. I could easily see myself and hundreds of others enjoying the series as a group. Plus your following isn’t massive enough to the point where our comments would just get drowned away in a sea of thousands lol. Just a thought✌🏽
One of the few bad things I'll say about TCW is that when this episode introduced Commandos, they were a force to be reckoned with, and then as the series went on they slowly became "B1s that do flips sometimes and make wobbly noises." The voice changer thing doesn't reappear a single time after this episode, they wear a disguise exactly one other time (and even then it wasn't a separatist droid), and just in general they become less threatening.
i remember behind the scenes for this episode that Dave Filoni talked about how they didn't want to over use the commando droids to give the impression that they were a really rare and expensive variant, i think a single commando droid was as expensive as like a squad of regular B1s
Two I think.
One thing thing I noticed is that when the commando droid gets shot, the lasers are red, even though captain, Rex and Commander Cody are clearly using republic weapons 6:21
9:28 When the rookies keep shooting the droid they're probably just following one of the oldest military rules: keep shooting your enemy until you know they're no longer a threat. Kinda the same principle as double-taps I guess
If there worth shooting once, there worth shooting twice.
Especialky with those droids where they have seen how brutal and hard to kill they are
The commando droids were EXTREMELY expensive, so thats probably why we hardly ever see them
But they should have been on battle of coruscant
Not to mention they were mainly used for special operations or protecting high value VIPs.
@@josephsuh525Their only uses for spec ops, vital targets etc. Missions normal B1's, B2's, droidekas etc cannot work in. Perhaps they were but if your referring to the clone wars animated show that came before the TV animated show then they weren't even concieved at the time.

@@demi-femme4821Maybe because Dooku and Grievous known Jedi will rescue Palpatine and Magnaguards are way more efficient in melee than commandos.
I love the fact that Cut-Up is the most relateable to Gen Z. He keeps making jokes in serious situations
The submarine
And he has an Irish accent. Which makes him the best member of Domino Squad.
Gen Z when they learn about centuries of Gallows Humor. It's not new. Military, Morticians, Cops, Fireman, EMTs, etc. for centuries
@@Nedmac yeah iv'e always found it weird that he has a different accent.
@@Nedmacits actually a bad attempt at a Scottish accent

I love the commando droid just saying “wow” in response to Rex
"woah"
I believe that it actually says "clones"
“I watched the citadel arc in .25x speed and here is was I found”
it needs to happen
Also just the fact that Hevy could throw a damn minigun that far and hard
You're forgetting that the man he's a clone of managed to kill 5 jedi with just his bare hands
@@zacglover3345 and by technicality because it's his exact blood he killed even more
@1:36, As someone who has regularly worn a gunbelt or equipment on a duty belt, this is actually a pretty natural and instinctive pose, especially if you're wearing body armor on the chest like Anakin is (though Obi-Wan doesn't seem to mind crossing his arms over his chest), since it makes crossing your arms over your chest kinda difficult. So hands-on-the-hips is the next best thing, and if there's something to rest your hands on... well, even better!
5:38 fun fact: originally, the episode had 3 instances of "hell." They censored one of them. Not all of them, just one. (It's "heck" now)
With the minigun you have to take in fire rate, spread of droids, and their distance. The first 8 were maybe 5 feet from heavy, but the main group looked to be at least 40 feet away.

Fives and Echo were some of the BEST clones in the show.... RIP
Echos still alive. Rip Fives though.
Shh I think you spoiled it for him
@@Mr-12-L 😈😈 we up
I love the fact that the commando droids are so agile. Also with the sword it's a good combo.
11:36 the droid is the best actor in star wars history 😂
I think Rex is the best clone but i like CT-5555 (Fives) the most.
agree just love fives and was soo sad when fox killed him
I'd say the regular droids are for battlefields and large scale assaults. Commando droids would be used mostly for infiltration and sabotage missions. But that's just my guess. That's why they're not in Revenge Of The Sith. We only see large battles in that movie.
2:21 Halo 2 Sniper Jackals staring at you from the other side of the map

4:45 this scene always confuses me. The dude says "Don't forget about those rishi eels" then 15 seconds later when he starts shooting it he shouts "what the hell was that" 🤔
OMG you're right.
Most likely they’ve never seen them since the clones never left the outpost.
I just noticed that at 6:25, Rex and Cody’s shots were red instead of blue when they hit the commando droid.
2:33 I think because B1 are so much easier to produce then commando droids with B1 also costing less
This is my favorite episode, and I hold it close to my heart. Hevy’s last stand still one of my favorites
Fives will always be my personal favorite. He has such charisma and when he becomes and arc trooper his armor is sickk!
idk if you saw this little detail but at 3:09 the droid that got shot his red dot started blinking im suprised i even saw it
also why at 6:21 the shots were red?!
I've never seen the Clone Wars but man the attention to detail in the show is just amazing considering how fast the scenes are.
4:59- I guess you could call that a swear word…… but it really isn’t!

The BX-Commando Droids had tougher armor so headshots were the way to go on them, Cody commented on it while they were on the platform
Your videos are so cool
Best Season 1 Episode by far. Also, those posters show up all the time! Gotta love the Lucky Lekku
Fun fact at 5:53 after Rex shoots the commando droid Cody says what the heck but myself and others remember it being “Rex what the hell” or something along those lines
They changed it in later versions
@@217adaptiveperspective it’s odd they changed that but not the other instances of it being said or the “damn” said by Rex in the clone wars movie
Now... how do the Clones know what Hell is
"Going into CLONE wars I expected the show to be about JEDI, NOT the people the show was named after"
The reason they didn’t commonly use candy droids in battle is because they are more stealth focused and are harder to use in large numbers because just imagine like 1000 of these guys just jumping around ducking and rolling it would be chaos
Also they were more expensive to produce due to better ai and more armor than a b1
It would be like having 2000 retro fps protagonists
This episode was better than the entire sequel trilogy
I still have no idea how they’re able to make their characters say hell and damn, which is crazy, considering the fact that Hell and damn by far your more friendly curse words, and also have a friendlier version with those being heck and dang.

R.I.P cutup, Droidbait and Hevy
YES I’ve been waiting for this
You know it’s going to be entertaining when michel posts
Ellison quotes to give his own show I want some clone troopers in it like CodyRax
my fave is Tup. he's adorable
It never gets old hearing I’ve Got A Bad Feeling About This.

Man, I didn’t know Rex could use the force, I mean, the dude dodged blaster fire. And he is my favorite clone. |:
8:42 This droid also has the Commander Droid Captain paint so this is a 1 v 1 between a Clone Captain and a Droid Captain

The part when they put the droid head on the camera to open the door reminds me of the Lego Star Wars games with those panels
I also wanna add that during the promotion ceremony at the very end one of the clones has the same model as their sergeant

I love them all, not just the adult clones but the young clones and the bad butch clones too
The commando droids were, well commandos. Really insanely expensive
For favourite clone,its clone #99. He fought with his friends from what remained of Domino squad,and also sacrificed himself to give them thermal detonators.
As much as I hate the sequels I would love for you to do the battle of Crait.
My favourite clone was definitly number 99 , if you dont remember that was the old clone on Camino
He was such a sweetheart
You should make a short video about Commander thorn or captain keeli
Generation tech did a great video covering the Commando Droids a few weeks ago.
I never noticed that super battle droids were on the platform. Thank you for another awesome video, keep it up

I love rex, thorn RIP, echo, and waxer
All those extra bells and whistles come at a price so commando droids weren't produced in large numbers.
5:38 they cussed on Total Drama Island too iirc, which was also on CN lol
fun little movie mistake that you missed out on:

Fives is my favorite clone. Has so many great moments. He’s the reason they win umbara. He is the reason Ashoka and Rex survive order 66.
The commando droids peering down the exit of the drop ship reminds me of a sleep paralysis demon lol
My fav clone has to be either Rex or boss
My favorite clone in the Rishi Moon outpost was Hevy. I always liked the Z6 rotary cannon.
I remember when this show first came out. Me and my brother would always watch it at my grandmas. She lost her mind when she heard the clone say hell.
He missed the second cuss in the after, heavy? and echo blast that last droid, echo says " I got one" and heavy says " Like hell you did"
My favorite clone is commander cody, i like that when he and rex pair up its basically anakin and obi with blasters
When you made the head shots sub buttons you should have made the one where Rex shoots twice into sub and notifications on.
I used to think that when captain Rex shoots the eels eye and kills it, it’s insides burn out and cut up escapes it
I don't know why, but i love the look of the commando with a clone helmet on his head
I feel that had hevy not died he would've been that tough stereotypical sergeant that everyone thinks of
i remember being beyond terrified of commando droids
Echo is my favourite!
10:13….. oof my head hurt…BANG BOOOM
Favorite Clone Fives, best Clone 99.
He was a soldier just like his brothers.
I still remember the horror I went thru when cut up got eaten by the eel, rip my boy
I'm surprised that Rex kept his phase 1 viser for the phase 2 armour.
More visibility than just two holes

My favorite clone is echo he's so underrated i hope he gets more to do in season 3 of bad batch
