They all seem to be wearing personalized KATARN class Commando Armor. Without Energy Shields (Might be too expensive to equip all Commandos with regenerative Shields). That or Delta Squad never actually used Energy Shields and that was simply a game mechanic.

[@LorgenusBlackmane]

That was no katarn class commando armour.

[@richardched6085]

Hunter's Helmet has obvious ties to future Stormtrooper Helmets indicating that Stormtrooper Armor is actually an improvement over Phase II Armor (However the Empire may have cut corners while the Republic would have made the armor a bit more durable while maintaining the Blast dispersive properties and general design).

we already knew that. The original battlefront II tells the story, from the point of the 501st of how the clones were the first stormtroopers of the empire and how they were phased out by different clones and normal people, espeically after the Kaminoans made the anti-troopers.

I noticed Crossheir uses his guns recoil to line up his second shot in taking the data center.

[@vladtheimpaler9577]

The longest recorded sniper kill shot is 3,5 km and Crosshair can shoot from 10 km. That distance is just mind-blowing even with future technology.

Bad Batch truly represents what all the clones could be; and become. The Kaminoans have truly regressed in their pride for their cloning techniques as if they implied these beneficial mutations to all their clones @ their facilities; the clone army and the republic; even the Empire; would be a true Supreme Power

[@richardched6085]

True. But the Bad Batch had unintended mutations that likely couldn't be duplicated without severe risk to the entire "crop". The Kaminoans were paid to create the best standardized infantry in the Galaxy as opposed to creating Genetically Augmented Super Soldiers. In fact the Kaminoans often killed and recycled Clones that exhibited any mutations good or bad (That is until Shaak Ti was assigned to Kamino and put and end to that.) 99's Sacrifice may have also contributed to the Kaminoan allowance for "Desirable mutations".

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

Well the empire phased out clones in favor of normal people so that wouldn't have helped.

[@petercarioscia9189]

@@sheilaolfieway1885 if they had super soldier clones instead of standard infantry clones, maybe they would have kept using clones

[@vipe650r]

@@petercarioscia9189 I’m not so sure about that. The TIE fighter and vehicles like that came from a quantitative approach to domination and presence. Super-clones would have meant fewer clones. That would potentially fit with elite and specialized units, but one would have to wonder at the cost to do that on any meaningful scale. To do it on purpose might, for example cost 100x as much to get 1/10th the number. I’d imagine it just didn’t scale or make sense for their doctrine.

[@cate384]

The Bad Batch have quickly become my favorite group of clones! Would love to see more videos highlight them since we have the first season of their show already and season 2 coming up (hopefully). Their show is one of the best!

[@Flynn01979]

I'll be curious to see if the Bad Batch play any part in order 66. It would be cool to see for example if their genetic modifications lead to them being able to resist the inhibitor chips. They did seem to be more independent than the average clone.

[@nfldend501]

But would they would resist they were 100 percent loyal like all the clones to the republic

[@grimstnzborithbrisingr7296]

@@nfldend501 Well, seeing as some clones had their inhibitor chips removed, it's possible that they could also "defect" once Order 66 is issued.

[@richardched6085]

LOL

[@fileoffish1403]

There’s no music in the outpost scene, presumably because it shows how simple and easy it is for the clones

[@sebastianxftw]

i was in love with that detail

[@asaschuemann9545]

Crosshair would make an awesome Bounty Hunter I think.

[@viperson9818]

Hunter is the type of guy that brings a knife to a gun fight. I’m surprised we didn’t see recker just going around punching droids.

[@wadesuerig1998]

He does in later episodes

[@Burning-Twilight]

The Bad Batch do also give off some A-Team vibes as well. Maybe Tech was based off someone from that team.

God every time I see a DC-17M it just makes me unreasonably happy.

[@EpicThe112]

Well done if you are wondering the clone commandos were featured in an earlier season seasons 1-5 that's why the armor looks familiar. Tech might be my favorite in this squad

[@Janoha17]

Clone Commandos first appeared in Season 3, recovering the bodies of Savage Opress' first Jedi victims, and then later with Clone Commando Gregor from the D-Squad Arc.

[@Underworlddream]

Same, I remember way back hearing how the original creator saying how they wanted to make like 10 season or more of the show. There were concept art showing how they wanted to have a Vong scout ship in future episode to hint about them coming, I'm guessing that not going to happen now because they Nuke the EU. After they were sold to Disney they sort of had to rush to finish stuff. This season was from what the uncompleted episode. I don't know if they are going to continue the show or stop at this season.

Hi, I think especially Hunter is a reference / resembles a lot Solid Snake from the Metal Gear solid video game franchise. There are numerous parallels: - both are clones (I know, nothing special in a clone army) - the donor in both cases was the best warrior known - both has been genetically enhanced to be better soldiers - the looks: the hair styl and the bandana from Hunter is famous for solid snake. even the face seems to resemble a lot of solid snake but still being similar the clones / Jango Fett - Hunter is also a code name of solid snake in one of the games - Being a leader of some kind - Maybe even mindset wise, knowing being different from the rest

When he describe them at the end I'm kind of getting some team fortress 2 vibes you know what I mean wrecker the heavy: crosshairs the sniper: tech the engineer or most possibly the medic: Hunter possibly the scout or the soldier or spy even since he's good with a knife 7:39
