History Characters / StarWarsCloneForce99

* IntheBlood: [[spoiler: She shows she's got Jango's DNA when she picks up a blaster and fires it with good skill at Crosshair.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler: All but one of the Batch Batch refused to obey Order 66 (with one of them, Hunter, directly aiding a Jedi's escape), making them among the ''very'' few clones who did so.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Tarkin puts them through one by assigning them to take out a batch of insurgents on Onderon. Turns out that [[spoiler: said "insurgents" were actually refugees being protected by Saw Gererra, and eliminating them would have proven their loyalty to the Empire. The team refuses (sans a very testy Crosshair, who has to be told to stand down), landing them in Tarkin's crosshairs.]]

* SuperSoldier: They're all genetically modified to grant them various specialised abilities.
* TheTeam: They are essentially a FiveManBand without TheChick as all clones are of course male, though the introduction of [[OppositeSexClone Omega]] fixes that.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Despite their years of loyal service to the Republic and good combat record, Tarkin considers their rebellious tendencies and immunity to Protocol 66 too much of a liability, and orders them to be arrested and executed [[spoiler:with the exception of Crosshair, who is instead ReforgedIntoAMinion.]]

* {{Expy}}: A once relatively good hearted hero of the Republic who gets caught in a deadly fire and ends up being rebuilt with cybernetic limbs and left heavily traumatized from the experience to the point he's become a lot more sullen and looks deathly pale underneath his armor. Take away the heroic characterization and the technological abilities, and you almost have Darth Vader.

** Crosshair is TheLancer, more standoffish and less friendly towards the regs. Since all are soldiers with guns, he's the best shot and the team's sniper. [[spoiler:He becomes the SixthRangerTraitor in the first episode of ''The Bad Batch'', switching his allegiance to the Empire when the rest of the squad goes rogue, though [[BrainwashedAndEvil not of his own volition]].]]

-->'''Crosshair:''' An order is an order.
-->'''Hunter:''' Since ''when''?

* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:After the rest of the Bad Batch goes rogue in the premiere of ''The Bad Batch'', Crosshair switches to dark grey, stormtrooper-esque Imperial commando armor, though he keeps the backpack, sniper rifle, and viewfinder of his clone commando rig.

* TookALevelInJerkass: The partial activation of Order 66 makes him angry and impatient with Hunter, who refuses to blindly follow the orders of the new Empire and commit morally-questionable acts like killing Jedi and wiping out anti-Imperial guerillas on Onderon. Tarkin picks up on this, and has Crosshair fully conditioned by the Kaminoans, making him go full FaceHeelTurn and attack the rest of the Bad Batch.

** Crosshair is TheLancer, more standoffish and less friendly towards the regs. Since all are soldiers with guns, he's the best shot and the team's sniper.

* BadassAdorable: Stands up against a gang of bully clone troopers, gets the drop on three shock troopers from a vent, and disarms Crosshair with the first shot of her blaster all in the first debut episode. The adorable goes without saying.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Killing children is a line he will not cross. When tracking down Caleb, he insists on taking him alive and unharmed much to Crosshair's irritation. And when he discovers that the "insurgents" he was ordered to eliminate had children among them, he refuses to continue with mission and instead willingly surrenders to Saw Gerrera just to get a clearer picture of the situation.

* TheImmune: [[spoiler: Their genetic modifications make most of them immune to the programming that turned the other clones against the Jedi, and Echo's cybernetic enhancements wiped the programming from his mind. The only one still affected was Crosshairs, who was reprogrammed into a loyal soldier of the new Empire.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler: All but one of the Batch Batch refused to obey Order 66 (with one of them, Hunter, directly aiding a Jedi's escape), making them among the ''very'' few clones who did so.]]

* SixthRanger: Tech correctly deduces that she's from the same batch as the Bad Batch, as the Kaminoans told them that there were five successful enhanced clones and four of them became the Bad Batch. She ends up joining her brothers on their adventures.

Hunter was the stoic leader of the Bad Batch.

Wrecker was the short-tempered bruiser of the Bad Batch.

Crosshair was the Bad Batch's quiet sniper, who disliked working with "regs". [[spoiler: He later leaves the squad and joins the Empire.]]

Tech was the Bad Batch's technical expert.

Echo was once a member of the dysfunctional cadet squad Domino Squad. He and Fives became part of the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion after showing their ingenuity during the Battle of the Rishi moon and became ARC troopers after the Battle of Kamino. Though he apparently died during a raid on the Citadel, he was actually held prisoner for a year by the Techno Union. Upon learning of his survival, he was rescued by Clone Force 99--The Bad Batch--and joins their ranks shortly thereafter.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: Tarkin puts them through one by assigning them to take out a batch of insurgents on Onderon. Turns out that [[spoiler: said "insurgents" were actually refugees being protected by Saw Gererra, and eliminating them would have proven their loyalty to the Empire. The team refuses (sans a very testy Crosshairs, who has to be told to stand down), landing them in Tarkin's crosshairs.]]

* {{Electronic Eye|s}}: His left eye appears to be cybernetic.

* HiddenDepths: When their shuttle goes in for a rough landing on Skako Minor, Wrecker immediately jumps into the copilot's chair and helps the team safely land.

* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Tech's accent vacillates somewhere between the typical "clone accent" (the Kiwi-sounding accent of Jango they all share) and a more British sounding one. It's likely there to be a vocal shorthand he's the smart one of the Bad Batch.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He's seemingly killed in an explosion while trying to save the team's escape shuttle during the Citadel arc. [[TearJerker It is made even worse]] by the fact that it proves to be a SenselessSacrifice on his part. This gets averted when Season 7[[note]]which was initially cancelled[[/note]] reveals he survived and the Separatists salvaged him. He then gets a main role afterwards for ''The Bad Batch''.

* FanDisservice: Normally, clone troopers aren't too hard on the eyes, but (as noted under BodyHorror) when Echo gets a ShirtlessScene during the Bad Batch arc (after being found NotQuiteDead), he's not only clearly malnourished, he's only got one organic limb left and is covered in cybernetic power sockets.

* BreakoutCharacter: Despite only appearing in four episodes of ''The Clone Wars'', Clone Force 99 has become so popular, they got a sequel spin-off series on the way.

* NoodleIncident: The squad's mission to Yalbec Prime right before they were called to Anaxes by Commander Cody remains unseen.

* ManChild: Sometimes, he likes to play with deactivated Separatist droids while teasing his own teammates. Whenever he's forced to do stealth, he acts like a little kid being denied candy. When Anakin hands him a detonator for blowing up a Separatist fleet, he gets teary-eyed and declares it the happiest moment of his life. Slightly borders on PsychopathicManchild since [[ChildSoldier he was raised to be a soldier from birth]], playing with deactivated droids would be comparable to playing with corpses in any other war, and he takes joy from destroying things in general.

Crosshair was the Bad Batch's quiet sniper, who disliked working with "regs".

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Crosshair is usually the quietest, but is a deadly and accurate ColdSniper.

* TheStoic: He rarely shows any emotion.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He's seemingly killed in an explosion while trying to save the team's escape shuttle during the Citadel arc. [[TearJerker It is made even worse]] by the fact that it proves to be a SenselessSacrifice on his part. This gets averted when Season 7[[note]]which was initially cancelled[[/note]] reveals he survived and the Separatists salvaged him.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Having gone through the traumatic experience of being blown up, rebuilt, and tortured for a year while being forced to act on behalf of the enemy against his own kind, it's shown on Echo's face that he's gone quite far from being that chipper clone he used to be when he was training with the rest of Domino Squad.

* TheTeam: They are essentially a FiveManBand without TheChick as all clones are of course male, though the introduction of [[OppositeSexClone Omega fixes that.]]

* TheTeam: They are essentially a FiveManBand without TheChick as all clones are of course male.

* SixthRanger: Echo, now a cyborg, becomes the fifth member of the squad at the end of the Bad Batch arc.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never find out what happened to him after he leaves Anaxes with the Bad Batch. Order 66 takes place soon after, but it's unclear if his control chip is still functioning after the experiments done to his brain. That said, Echo is set to appear in ''The Bad Batch'' alongside the rest of Clone Force 99, so he obviously survives the end of Clone Wars, though ''how'' is curently up in the air until the series comes out.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: As his interactions with Rex, Kix, and Jesse show, he's ''not'' popular with anyone except the rest of Clone Force 99, though this doesn't hinder his ability to work as a team with the rest of the clone army.
