ARF Troopers are Badass

#CloneWars #StarWars
ARF troopers are some of the coolest clone troopers in the Clone Wars series. Advanced Recon Force troopers were tasked with stealth missions and were agile soldiers that were able to take on advanced tasks. ARF troopers are badass!

[@StarWarsExpanded]

Who's better: ARC or ARF troopers?

[@orainefoster8316]

ARF troopers, the real OG's. Before Scout Troopers we had the elite.

[@jackthekobold7896]

Clones had Scout Troopers too, just a bit different helmet.

Would have been sick if in an episode of clone wars the 501st linked up with the 91st and a bunch of ARF troopers just appeared out the bushes to meet them. "Why are you so far behind enemy lines Captain Razor?" "We're the 91st General Skywalker, we're meant to be behind enemy lines"

they should have made more arf troopers in lego sets cause they were the coolest

Hopefully we can see some arf trooper action in the future!

[@arftrooper2057]

Finally some recognition. You know I've seen lists of all clone variants that LEAVE US OUT OF THEM.

[@chopper3940]

What kind of list is this, can you go into more detail, since I am collecting all the information on this type of clone troopers and it would be nice to be able to supplement the data.

[@kromerdealer1766]

One funny note about Bad Batch S1- In a start of bad batch season 1, there was a scene where wrecker and crosshair have gone for armory supplies, And Crosshair said "he was crying" (of happiness ofc) And then Wrecker said: "Hey! He was crying too!" And then later in some episode of bad batch S1 E(I don't remember sorry) Crosshair tells Wrecker this line "You never could lie" or some stuff like this So i guess yeah it is confirmed that crosshair was crying of amount of guns in armory

For being a Scout unit, they really know how to kick some @ss!

[@chopper3940]

Scouts and ARF are different types of clones. Scouts use a stripped down version of ARF. So by calling ARF scouts you are insulting them.

and then there’s Commander Trauma. who died making the dumbest decision.

[@aye_its_sparky7164]

I always found the clones to look kind of thin for peak physical soldiers, like in the movies Jango is a pretty well built guy as are the clones, i get that's is the style of the show, just a little odd to me.

[@trianglemoebius]

In all fairness, neither Jango or the Clones were human, even before their genetic modifications. We have no way of knowing what Mandalorian body types are, and many near-human races do contain quite a few differences here and there.

[@alor700]

What about the droid attack on the wookies?

[@aye_its_sparky7164]

@@trianglemoebius im not saying they were human even though everything i look at seems to agree that yes Fett and the clones are humans. im saying that the clones in the show don't share the same physique as those in the movies.

No ARF ARC, these are 2 different types of clones that perform different types of tasks. And also there is no point in an ARF clone becoming an ARC recruit, because the training of ARC recruits is worse than that of the ARF.

[@sudduthjonathan]

Arc troopers are better but I feel arf is underrated

[@trianglemoebius]

The original ARCs were specifically modified, it wasn't until later the the ARC Trooper Program brought "normal" clones into their ranks... and most were recruited from the ARF. So, technically speaking, ARF and the ARC we know are the same people.

[@chopper3940]

@@trianglemoebius They did not recruit from the ARF in the ARC, they were different combat units, with different combat missions. ARC recruiters were recruited from ordinary, proven clones.

yes

No, if you watch "Landing at Point Rain," almost all of the 212th is wearing the helmet other than Cody. Not every clone who wears the helmet is an ARF trooper😂

[@diegoramirezkrohmann9549]

@@marcusrobles1239 Well, that´s what I initially thought too, but it is confirmed, that all clone troopers, who were wearing ARF Trooper gear during the second battle of geonosis were actually ARF Troopers, who as a whole formed part of a ARF Trooper unit, which was assigned to the 212th attc battalion. Those troopers could also be used as ,, normal troopers´´ , what we see at Battle of Ryloth (Boil and Waxer). In addition to that, if you pay extreme attention on the troopers fighting during the geonosis arc, you witness, that many of those ,,shiny white troopers´´ , actually had markings on their armor, showing their affiliation to the 501st (blue always faded markings (ep. 6 weapons factory)) and 212th (yellow unfaded markings (ep. 6 weapons factory ex. at 15:41)), which is quite hard to see, because of the dusty and sandy light surface refelcting the light.

[@trianglemoebius]

@@diegoramirezkrohmann9549 Only the Alpha-ARCs were specifically designed ARC troopers, as the need for more and more commandos caused the Republic to start the ARC program and bring in "normal" clones. Most of the clones entered into the ARC program were previously ARF. Boil and Waxxer were presumably ARF troopers who went through the ARC Trooper Program.

[@chopper3940]

Yes, they were ARF clones and were part of the elite 212 "ghost" company.

[@Isaac97_YouT]

Unfortunately not for Savage Opress.

[@jaigger]

advanced movement tactics on display here? take note of the shifty movement, even when running head on towards an opponent. I don't see many regular clones do this, usually they run straight focused more on shooting, getting shot down occasionally.

[@chopper3940]

Training, genetic modifications and lighter armor allowed the ARF clones to maneuver, which did not allow them to conduct targeted fire.

[@optimusvine5672]

Brooo, 0 casualties, insane. The might be better than ARC troopers overall

[@chopper3940]

Unfortunately no, they are worse than ARC clones. This means when compared to full-fledged ARCs such as alphas, nulls and commanders. When compared with ARC recruits such as Fives, Echo and Jesse, then ARC recruits are at least superior to specialized clones, nowhere near the elite of the republic. ARF clones may well be on par with RC clones, with the caveat that they have completely different tasks in the army.

[@trianglemoebius]

Two entirely different purposes. Clones are soldiers, and thus made to fight a war, while the Stormtroopers were functionally gendarmerie. You're basically saying the US Army is better at warfighting than a SWAT team, and... well, yeah, that's true, but the US Army also wouldn't be very good at frighting crime.
