| 29 | The clone troopers were an army of identical, genetically modified clones of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett created by the cloners of Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic during the eponymous Clone Wars. They fought under Jedi command to defend Republic sovereignty against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatist Alliance. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | However, unbeknownst to all but the Kaminoan cloners and certain conspirators in the Republic, the clone troopers were also implanted with mental inhibitor chips that, when activated by the code phrase "Execute Order 66", caused them to kill their Jedi commanders and unquestioningly obey the orders of Chancellor-turned-Emperor Sheev Palpatine. With few exceptions -- mainly among genetically defective, brain-damaged, or otherwise modified clones -- this order was carried out to the letter. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Shortly after the end of the war, the Galactic Empire continued using clone stormtroopers for the first years of their reign, but almost immediately mandated the cessation of clone production due to its high cost compared to simply training conscripts and volunteers. While many clones continued to serve the Empire for at least five more years alongside recruits, they were eventually eclipsed by ordinary human soldiers, with the clones eventually becoming a rare sight even in the Stormtrooper Corps. By the time of the Battle of Endor, most clones were either dead from old age or senile, and mostly forgotten by the galaxy. |
| 34 | ---- |
| 35 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 36 | * AceCustom: A rite of passage of sorts for clones was to customize their armor, with different paintjobs and gear. Thus, clones that have just graduated from training are dubbed "shinies" due to their clean, still pristine white armor. However, they also tend toward a degree of conformity within their squads, to demonstrate brotherhood-within-brotherhood. [[WatsonianVersusDoylist In practice]], this makes it possible for viewers to tell them apart. This also extends to scars, tattoos, and haircuts. The uniformity they display often reflects their leader. Obi-Wan's clones, for example, paint their armor yellow to reflect his robes and hair, while Yoda's troops wore green. When Ahsoka returns to the 501st, they paint their helmets to resemble her facial markings. |
| 37 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: |
| 38 | ** The relationship between the clones and Jedi in ''Legends'' differ a great deal compared to ''The Clone Wars'' (and by extension the new canon). In the former, their relationship was much more uneasy, mainly due to Jedi viewing the clones' BlindObedience and MyCountryRightOrWrong mentality with weariness, while clones disliked [[WhatMeasureIsAMook the dismissive way they were viewed and how many had died under their Jedi Commanders' watch]]. As such, while they fought along with one another, it often leaned towards TeethClenchedTeamwork, and many clones had little issue with executing the Jedi they served with, though not all followed through with it. In ''The Clone Wars'' (as well as the current canon as a whole), most Jedi and clones tend to have a much healthier relationship, with the Jedi treating the clones with respect and encouraging their individuality while the clones show actual care for their commander, and both parties are shown to greatly trust one another. However, it should be noted both sentiments were ''not'' universal in either timeline. |
| 39 | ** In ''Legends'', all ARC troopers and approximately three fourths of all clone commandos adopted the Mandalorian culture during training, thanks to the former being trained by Jango Fett personally, and the latter by the ''Cuy’val Dar''[[note]] Mando’a for "Those Who No Longer Exist" [[/note]], a group of a hundred mercenaries hired by Fett to train the commandos, of which seventy five were Mandalorian. After the Clone Wars kicked off, ARC Trooper Alpha-17 recalled a large number of clone commanders back to Kamino to train them in ARC trooper tactics, with many of the commanders adopting the culture and incorporating traditional Mandalorian imagery such as the ''kama'' and ''jaig'' eyes into their armor. After the Disney buyout, Alpha-17 was adapted out, and it took six years in real life to recanonize that Jango Fett was even a Mandalorian in the first place. The ''Cuy’val Dar'' is still kind of canon, with ''The Clone Wars'' showing mercenaries on Kamino training clones, but the only confirmed member to be a Mandalorian is [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Fenn Rau]]. As of yet, there’s no direct canonical link between the ''kama'' and the Mandalorians, but ''jaig'' eyes are still a Mandalorian symbol of honor, making it rather strange that Rex and Blackout wear them despite showing no other ties to Mandalore unless either Fett or Rau encouraged it. |
| 40 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In ''Legends'', Order 66 was always an emergency protocol known to clones and authorities, one of a hundred and fifty. In ''The Clone Wars'' (and by extension canon), Order 66 is enforced via a control chip that the Kaminoans secretly implanted into the clone troopers' brains. It also counts as AdaptationalHeroism, since in ''Legends'' the clones who executed their Jedi commanders chose to do so. A few of them chose not to, however, and either went AWOL themselves or allowed the Jedi to escape, which wasn't possible in canon without disabling the chip. |
| 41 | * AdaptationalBadass: In ''Legends'', it was actually very rare to see clones do anything exceptional if they weren't Commandos or ARC Troopers, and were largely just red shirts. While clones still have aspects of red shirts in the new canon, it's shown that Captains, Commanders, and even regular troopers are all shown to take care of hordes of droids on their own. |
| 42 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Due to [[AdaptationalAngstUpgrade the nature of Order 66]] and [[AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul the mutual respect between clones and Jedi]], clones did not choose to betray the Jedi, nor was their widespread resentment between both parties a thing. They are instead BrainwashedAndCrazy, though some clones still indicate that their betrayal was MoreThanMindControl. |
| 43 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: A downplayed variation. Clones are shown to be less drone-like in canon than in ''Legends''. They have developed their own identities and names before the Clone Wars began (For example, ''Legends'' indicates that it wasn't until Anakin named Alpha very early in the Clone Wars that ''any'' of the 501st clones had formed identities for themselves), which leads to them lacking BlindObedience for the vast majority and being more outspoken, as well as pulling off more creative feats than shown previously. |
| 44 | * AdaptationalWimp: ARC Troopers are supposed to be ''extra-ordinarily'' good troopers, being considered TheCavalry in ''Legends'' to the Jedi themselves when in a tight pinch. Canon, however, treats being an ARC Trooper as more of a rank as opposed to uniquely-grown clones and does nothing to demonstrate their capabilities to differentiate them from any other clone. In fact, nearly every ARC introduced during the Domino Squad arc dies not long after they're introduced. |
| 45 | * AllForNothing: Ultimately, after everything they went through during the Clone Wars, the Clone Trooper program was unceremoniously scrapped by the Empire, who neither gave them any support post-retirement, or any sort of reward for their wartime heroism, being barely considered citizens. By the time of the Empire's fall, less than thirty years after the Clone Wars began, the clones themselves were almost extinct and their contributions to the galaxy were all but forgotten. |
| 46 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: As a result of Jango Fett being their genetic template, all of the clones have medium dark skin tones, dark eyes, and black hair. |
| 47 | * AndIMustScream: The clones are all completely aware of what they're doing after Order 66 goes down, and unable to do anything about it no matter how much they try FightingFromTheInside. |
| 48 | * ArmorIsUseless: Downplayed. Average blaster fire can go through their standard armor pretty easily, but they tend to withstand blunt force trauma. Clone Commandos avert this completely, with their helmets being able to take much more punishment from enemy shots and the same goes for their armor. |
| 49 | * AscendedExtra: ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' gives a significant amount of clone troopers [[ClonesArePeopleToo their own identities, personalities, and friendships with their Jedi generals]]. This makes it all the more tragic when Palpatine executes Order 66, which results in the clone troopers being brainwashed and their bonds with the Jedi becoming moot. |
| 50 | * AwesomeButImpractical: In the long run. Their heritage, genetic modifications and life-long training regimen make clones far more efficient than an army of conscripted soldiers could ever be. That said, raising clones is ''expensive''; every single one needs to be fed, housed, trained and given ample supplies, only to risk certain death by going into battle. |
| 51 | ** Their entire creation and training are this. In order to have a viable army quicker, clone troopers age at least twice as quickly as normal humans, meaning they go from their physical prime to old men within two decades of deployment. They are in addition only educated on military topics and basic stuff, meaning their life-skills are basically non-existent. |
| 52 | ** The Phase I armor. Sure, it indeed looks ''really'' cool, and has a lot of useful features, but Expanded Universe material isn't shy to describe the armor as clunky, claustrophobic and uncomfortable, because the armor was designed in entirety by the Kaminoans, who had little to no prior experience with humans or their bodies. |
| 53 | * BadassArmy: Justified in that they are genetically altered to be more badass than the average human in addition to being fully mechanized, well equipped, and skilled in combat. |
| 54 | * BadassNormal: They are not Force-sensitive, but that doesn't stop them from kicking the asses of "clankers" even when facing impossible odds, as well as all but wiping out the Jedi during Order 66. |
| 55 | * BandOfBrothers: Both literally and figuratively. Every clone trooper has the same genetic "father", Jango Fett, and thus many see each other as literal brothers in arms. |
| 56 | * {{BFG}}: Some of their guns are ''huge'': |
| 57 | ** The standard DC-15A battle rifle is a monstrosity at 1.3 meters long, and at full power is capable of opening a 0.5 meters crater into ferrocrete at ''ten kilometers'' and punching through the armor of a light tank at one, let alone any battle droids. Sadly, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the size and power of the gun make it impractical away from open fields, forcing the Clones to rely on the smaller and weaker DC-15S carbine when they fight in enclosed spaces or care to avoid collateral damage]]. |
| 58 | ** The reciprocating quad blaster is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a repeating blaster with four reciprocating barrels]]... Just smaller of the ''Millennium Falcon''[='=]s guns. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome The user needs a specialized rig equipped with small repulsorlifts to carry it around with its tibanna gas, power cells, and coolant systems]], but when the situation calls for it the weapon can shred enemy infantry and light vehicles with ease. |
| 59 | ** The Z-6 rotary blaster cannon is effectively a blaster [[GatlingGood minigun]], just small enough to be portable. |
| 60 | * BloodKnight: Typically of clones, they tend to live for the chance to prove themselves in battle, which helps the fact they're bred for wartime. Tragically, this comes to bite them in the ass later as many clones admit they didn't even think that the war would end, nevermind about retirement or what to do after, which made Senator Chuchi's negotiations for a retirement package in their decomissioning difficult. [[spoiler: When Fives died, he mentioned that "The Mission", a nightmare, was finally over, implying that all of the clonetroopers are conditioned to perpetually think of war even against their will.]] |
| 61 | * BornIntoSlavery: Ultimately what their situation is at the end of the day. The clones are considered less of an army of recruits than a product the Kaminoans are contracted to manufacture for the Republic. They're grown in labs on one of the most isolated worlds known to the galaxy, then put through a brutal, decade-long training regimen that gives them no skills outside of those relevant for warfare, before being shipped out to fight and die in a war they have zero stake in for a government that considers them to be military hardware instead of citizens. It's even more obvious after the Empire takes over, where remaining clones either get forced into menial labor duties, made to train Stormtrooper cadets, or just thrown out into the galaxy and left to rot with little chance of living a happy life. |
| 62 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Order 66 protocol causes any clone trooper to become violently hostile towards the Jedi because of a control chip that's been implanted into their brains. This also appears to have dramatic effects on their temperaments, as just about every clone becomes noticeably more aggressive, acting much more like how later Stormtroopers would behave. However, the effects appear to wear off after a period of time, as clones begin to show signs of personality and independence by the second season of ''The Bad Batch''. For example, [[spoiler:Cody begins to question his service to the Empire and ultimately goes AWOL, though he never realizes that the chip was responsible for his actions]]. |
| 63 | * ClonesArePeopleToo: ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' takes pains to emphasize this point. It's to the point where the implication is fairly clear that the clone troopers are going out of their way to create personalities for themselves, adopting nicknames, hairstyles, tattoos, and helmet art ([[BodyCountCompetition kill counts are a favorite]]). They even paint nose art on their [[GunshipRescue LAAT Gunships]]. |
| 64 | * CloneDegeneration: As the production of clones continued, the genetic material provided by Jango Fett started to be worn down after being copied millions of times. This resulted in a slow, but noticeable drop in effectiveness for clones produced later on compared to those produced earlier. The Kaminoans noticed this drop in quality and became desperate to search for any remaining samples of Jango's DNA before theirs became completely unviable. |
| 65 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: When they first appear in ''Attack of the Clones'', most clone troopers have colored stripes on their arms and helmets to denote rank (plain white for soldiers, green for sergeants, blue for lieutenants, red for captains, and yellow for commanders). By the time of ''Revenge of the Sith'' and the end of the war, most clones had abandoned this practice in favor of custom colors and patterns that match their battalion and role within the Grand Army. |
| 66 | * CoolHelmet: It's part of their armor in addition to looking very cool. Eventually, it gets modified to become the basis of the stormtrooper helmet. |
| 67 | * CostumeEvolution: In Season 4 of ''The Clone Wars'' onwards, they get Phase II armor, which would eventually become the ancestor of the Stormtrooper uniform. Likewise, the Clone Naval Officers would get caps and darker uniforms to match the future Imperial Officers. |
| 68 | * CripplingOverspecialization: How clone troopers were largely viewed by the Emperor and why they were allowed to go out of service. They are, for the most part, pretty great soldiers, and in times of warfare, can pull off some fantastic gambits and win several battles. However, outside of being soldiers, they have little knowledge and experience. As such, the Empire found the much more present, flexible, and renewable conscripts to be a much better choice in occupying most of the known galaxy, as they wouldn't have to deal with the troubles of cloning that way. |
| 69 | * DeadpanSnarker: Most of the clone troopers are ''fantastic'' world-weary snarkers with dry and sardonic senses of humor. |
| 70 | -->'''Dragonfly-mounted Aleena:''' ''[jubilantly]'' Kazabanee!! ''[dragonfly dives]''\ |
| 71 | '''Warthog:''' ''Great''. It's gonna be another one of '''those''' planets. |
| 72 | * DefectorFromDecadence: Not all clone troopers are subjugated to Order 66. Clone Force 99 ([[spoiler:sans Crosshair]]) defected not long after the Empire has been established while Rex, Gregor, and Wolffe managed to have their inhibitor chips removed and eventually joined the Rebel Alliance. |
| 73 | * TheDogBitesBack: Of the non-violent variety. After being treated as property by the Kaminoans throughout the Clone Wars while the Republic ignores them, when the Empire comes around, [[HourglassPlot they are the ones who treat the Kaminoans as property with help from the Empire]]. |
| 74 | * DudeWheresMyReward: After undergoing a cruel childhood and forced to loose several of their brothers during the war, the surviving clone troopers simply got the shaft when it came to receiving compensation for their service, instead being assigned to provide labor for the Empire or left to fend for themselves. |
| 75 | * DuplicateDivergence: As clones, they were intended to be an army of perfectly interchangeable and replaceable soldiers, but over time their individual experiences lead their personalities to develop along markedly different paths. ''The Clone Wars'' shows that as the war progressed, the clones began to customize their armor with accessories and paint jobs. Many clones also modified their bodies with different hairstyles, facial hair, and even tattoos and battle scars as an expression of their increasing individuality. |
| 76 | * DyingRace: Production of the clone troopers was halted and the Kaminoan cloning facilities were destroyed shortly after the establishment of the Galactic Empire. With the loss of the original facilities and no remaining pure sources of Jango Fett's DNA to start up any new ones, the clones that survived the Clone Wars were the last of their kind that could ever exist. Thanks to their incurable accelerated aging, they were doomed to go from an army of millions to complete extinction within a few decades at maximum. The only known exceptions in the current canon are Boba Fett (who ages at a normal rate), Omega (who also appears to age naturally) and Kix (who was frozen in stasis until the timeframe of ''Film/TheForceAwakens''). |
| 77 | * EliteMook: They may be mere foot soldiers, but each clone trooper is a highly trained elite soldier that are individually about as valuable as tens, if not hundreds of their battle droid counterparts. They, along with Clone Commandos, also serve as this to their recruited Stormtrooper successors. |
| 78 | * ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Captains, Commanders, and Arc Troopers tend to stick out more due to their equipment, kamas, and helmets varying significantly from the average soldier. |
| 79 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: ''The Bad Batch'' shows most clone troopers (albeit likely due to regulation more so than free will) ditched their customized armor shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, replacing it with plain, uniform white Phase II clone trooper kits during the early days of the Galactic Empire. Likewise, their vehicles and starships were stripped of their coloured Republic livery, leaving only the plain grey coloring of the Imperial Army and Navy. |
| 80 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Once Order 66 has been commenced, the clones' speech tone become harsher and deeper. |
| 81 | * ExpendableClone: Subverted; although they were created by the Kaminoans for this purpose, many Jedi consider the clone troopers to be [[ClonesArePeopleToo people of their own]] and are willing to help them if need be. |
| 82 | * FaceHeelTurn: ''En masse'' once Order 66 is issued, though [[BrainwashedAndCrazy not of their own will]]. |
| 83 | * FacelessGoons: Not that their helmets do much good, since they all have the same face underneath. Of course, given their tendency to customize said armor, the older, more experienced clone troopers can be identified by how their armor looks rather than how the face under it looks. |
| 84 | * FallenHero: They are forced to go from being honorable guardians of the Republic to fascist stormtroopers after the Republic becomes the Empire. |
| 85 | * FantasticRacism: |
| 86 | ** The recruited Stormtroopers that replace them hold them in quite low regard, viewing them as something below people since they were grown in the lab. The Clones return the sentiment, considering birth-born Stormtroopers undisciplined and inept troopers and overall cheap knockoffs. |
| 87 | ** Standard Clones and Clone Force 99 have a dislike for each other, with the Bad Batch dismissively calling standard Clone Troopers "Regs", and said Clones viewing 99 in an equally dim light. |
| 88 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Post-Order 66. For a time, they stayed in active duty as Stormtroopers, but were forced to completely abandon the individualism afforded to them by the Jedi and Republic, only for the Clone Trooper program to be scrapped later on. What remained for the Grand Army was then basically left to rot, barely considered citizens, with no compensation or recognition to speak of, forced to live in rapidly aging bodies, with no actual skills outside combat, reliving their wartime trauma and the involuntary betrayal of their Jedi Generals. Those that were "lucky" enough to remain in service became little more than slaves for the Empire, or forced into training their replacements, the Stormtroopers. That said, some lucky Clones that managed to escape the Empire's reach ''did'' get to live actual lives. Though even those clones had to live with rapidly aging bodies, basically no marketable skills, and the added pressure of being considered defectors and liable for execution if found by the Empire. |
| 89 | * FormerlyFit: ''Rebels'' and ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' shows that clones become more pudgy once they reach old age. As a result, certain parts of their armor become too tight for them to wear and they're not as resilient as they used to be. They're still incredibly effective soldiers but the drop in athleticism has made them weaker and less capable than they used to. However, this is not the case with all clones; as shown by the end of ''The Bad Batch'', Hunter has not put on much weight even though over a decade passed. |
| 90 | * GangOfHats: Since they're all genetically the same person, Clone identity is based on small details such as personality quirks, specific deeds or how they style themselves, since they are some of the few ways to differentiate a whole group of identical people. |
| 91 | * GoodGuyBar: For an arguable definition of "good guy" that varies on an individual basis, but the clones who are off-duty on Coruscant are shown to have a favorite hang-out spot: 79's, a cantina that caters to clones in particular, as shown in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E4Orders Orders]]". |
| 92 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: |
| 93 | ** Most of the "shiny" clone troopers who've completed training on Kamino have the same personality, vocal mannerisms, and plain white armour, as the Kaminoans intended for them to be identical, disposable cannon fodder for the Republic. However, the longer the clones fought in the Clone Wars, the more they developed unique personality quirks, names, and [[IdenticalTwinIDTag customized their appearance]] to distinguish themselves. Older clones also showed more independence and improvisation on the battlefield, best shown in the Umbara arc of ''The Clone Wars'' when the 501st was put under the command of an incompetent general, eventually committing outright mutiny when he's revealed to be a traitor. |
| 94 | ** This also happened post-Order 66, as shown in the first two seasons of ''The Bad Batch''. While most clones were "reset" to their original, obedient selves because of their inhibitor chips, some of the older clones like Captain Howzer and Commander Cody started to "wake up" from their enforced obedience in the early months of the Empire, and began questioning the orders and methods of the new regime, eventually going rogue. It's implied that this is one of the reasons why the Empire replaced the clone army with the conscripted Stormtrooper corps, whose loyalty was enforced through indoctrination and patriotism instead of programming. |
| 95 | * GunsAkimbo: ARC Troopers tended to dual wield DC-17 pistols on the regular, as did some clones who served as Captains and Commanders of their unit. |
| 96 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: While they almost always wear their helmets in combat situations, before their FaceHeelTurn they often take them off in more casual settings. After Order 66 goes live, the only clones who show their faces are the ones who avoided being brainwashed. |
| 97 | * HeroicAmbidexterity: Clones can use weapons in either hand. They appear to favor their right, but Rex likes to dual wield and Echo has no problem switching to his left when he joins the Bad Batch. |
| 98 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Even though the Empire discarded them, they did honor them as heroes who brought peace to the Galaxy and defeated the Jedi, portrayed as evil mystics who kidnap children to build up their ranks and tried to overthrow the government and Palpatine, who was going to end the Clone Wars anyway. [[spoiler:Palpatine, however, changes his tune on this when the truth on Kamino's destruction is revealed, and paints the clones as soldiers who mindlessly follow orders and cannot be trusted, using this as a justification to replace them with natural born humans as Stormtroopers]]. |
| 99 | * HumongousMecha: Like the Galactic Empire which the Republic turned into later, the clone army had a number of these; including the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (heavy armor/troop carrier), the All Terrain Attack Pod (mobile artillery), the Self Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser (heavy artillery), and the All Terrain Open Transport (clone trooper carrier). |
| 100 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: Many clones adopt alternative hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos, and gain battle scars to differentiate themselves from their millions of identical brothers. They also customize and paint their armor to further express their individuality on the battlefield. |
| 101 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Zig-zagged and downplayed. While they tend to miss a lot in large scale battles, they're not nearly as bad as the Separatist droids or their stormtrooper successors, and when it counts they usually manage to hit the target, most notably during the execution of Order 66. |
| 102 | * IncapableOfDisobeying: Once Order 66 takes effect, all clones permanently fell under control of the Empire via their bio-chips and are unable to resist unless they have their chips removed. Rex and Wrecker found out the hard way. |
| 103 | * InformedAttribute: ARC Troopers are ''supposed'' to be some of the best trained troopers, just below Commandos in terms of skill and significantly above the likes of regular clones. However, this falls flat when nearly every named ARC Trooper ends up dying just as often as any other clone, with nothing making them stand out rather than a change in uniform. |
| 104 | * LaserGuidedTykeBomb: The true purpose of the clones was to be the perfect weapon against the Jedi. Everything about them from their humanity, to their training, to the Clone Wars as a whole were arranged to ensure that they could get into position to execute the planned assassination of the order. Each clone was implanted with a biochip that would ensure that they would become fanatically determined to kill Jedi the moment Palpatine gave the command without risking any pre-existing [[KillingIntent hostility]] that could have alerted the Jedi to the danger beforehand. |
| 105 | * {{Leitmotif}}: ''The Clone Wars'' first introduces there [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4wghB2lj18 distinctive theme]] that often plays during clone-focused moments, and continues to be used in later animated series. |
| 106 | * MadnessMantra: When they turn due to Order 66: "Good soldiers follow orders." |
| 107 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: They become this after their FaceHeelTurn. |
| 108 | * ManchurianAgent: Unbeknownst to them, the Jedi, and the Senate, each clone trooper has a control chip implanted in their brain that contains Protocol 66: a program that forces them to execute the Jedi if the order is given, regardless if they want to or not. ''The Clone Wars'' presents that [[spoiler:Ahsoka removed Rex's chip before he could kill her]], and ''Rebels'' featured a few clones that removed their chips as well. |
| 109 | * ManInAKilt: Many clone troopers with higher ranks wear kamas, including the likes of Rex, Wolffe, Fox, Colt, Havoc, Bly, Ponds, Bacara, Fil, Keeli, Jet, and Doom. Though kamas ''do'' serve a practical purpose, providing added protection from shrapnel. |
| 110 | * MenOfSherwood: They're a competent army, perfectly capable of handling the Separatist droid army. Individuals and smaller groups, however, tend to fill in all ranges from RedShirtArmy through {{Mauve Shirt}}s to BadassArmy. |
| 111 | * MiniMecha: The All Terrain Reconnaissance Transport (AT-RT), a smaller predecessor to the Imperial AT-DP and AT-ST. It is essentially an armed motorcycle with legs that functions as a cavalry unit. |
| 112 | * MirroringFactions: With the Battle Droids they fight. In the end, both are artificially created soldiers created for the benefit of Palpatine. It hits home even more post-Order 66, when the Clones inhibitor chips kick in and effectively erase any personality or emotion from them, basically making them flesh and blood Battle Droids. |
| 113 | * ModifiedClone: Genetically engineered to age at twice the normal human rate and to be more obedient. |
| 114 | * MoreThanMindControl: While the inhibitor chip is a major factor for the clones to execute Order 66, it's only there to ensure that even good clones will execute their Jedi friends rather than helping them escape. Some clones truly believe that the Jedi turned against the Republic and wouldn't need an inhibitor chip to carry it out. The best way to determine which clones were truly brainwashed and which were not is to see their reactions to the Empire's growing tyranny months after Order 66. If they do not resist or even question the morality of their orders, they are the ones who would have carried out Order 66 regardless of the chip. |
| 115 | ** The influence on the clone's minds didn't end with Order 66. Clone Stormtroopers that served the Empire in its early days were noticeably more cold, brutal, and less individualistic than they had been during the Clone Wars. The transformation into fanatically loyal merciless enforcers was partially due to their implanted chips and partially due to the tyrannical policies of the Empire. Only a rare few clones with active chips were able to hold on to their morals and disobey orders, but they were usually quickly weeded out by their former brothers. |
| 116 | ** The greatest influence the chips had can be seen in regards to the Jedi. The clones are not simply programmed to kill the Jedi, but have an almost fanatical hatred of them subconsciously implanted by the chip after Order 66. They firmly believed that the Jedi as a whole were traitors who deserved nothing short of death, even if the clone personally knew that couldn't be true. Even after having their chips removed, some clones still have knee-jerk reactions to attack a Jedi before they can regain their senses. |
| 117 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Zig-Zagged. Some clones had a very hard time coming to terms with what they did after being brainwashed by the control chips and forced to execute Order 66. However, ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' shows that many of them ''[[MoreThanMindControl genuinely]]'' believed that the Jedi were the traitors and they show no regret for Order 66 and some of them even become Purge Troopers. The most deciding factor tends to be how close a companion and soldier they were to their Jedi general when forced to kill them. For shinies and those who never served a Jedi directly they had no reason to question the order, while those who did are left wondering why they just killed their friend. |
| 118 | * MyGreatestFailure: The clones who had their inhibitor chips removed after Order 66 were appalled at their part in the Jedi Purge, and continued to feel the shame and regret for years afterwards. |
| 119 | * NatureVersusNurture: An interesting example; they're all genetically identical, they are for all intents and purposes the same person, all growing up and being trained on Kamino, but in the end, their individual experiences growing up molded each and every one of them into a unique person, with massive differences in personality between "brothers". |
| 120 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: After the rise of the Empire, the Clones were complicit in enforcing Palpatine's will as the first generation of Stormtroopers, usually through an iron grip on the worlds they occupy, and violence against opposition. |
| 121 | * NeuralImplanting: ''The Clone Wars'' reveals that the inhibitor chips were put into the brains of the clone troopers by Palpatine, so they be able to carry out Order 66. |
| 122 | * NoSavingThrow: Once activated, the inhibitor chips are impossible for a clone to disobey. The strongest willed clones could only muster up enough strength to momentarily hesitate or shout a warning before being forced to attack their Jedi targets to the best of their ability. Even the mutant clones of the Bad Batch are not immune should their chips manage to activate. The only clones with chips left unaffected either had theirs rendered non-functional by damage or missed Palpatine's order by desertion and freak chance. |
| 123 | * NonUniformUniform: Most of them have their armor slightly modified. It's a significant sign of how badly they've been corrupted by the nascent Empire in ''The Bad Batch'' when most of them are decked out in the vanilla white armor after Order 66. |
| 124 | * OldSoldier: By the time of the Galactic Civil War, any Republic-era clone still alive was getting seriously up there in age as a result of their rapid aging. In less than a decade, all but the youngest clones were physically too old for active duty. |
| 125 | * OneManArmy: Clone Commandos are known for this, being bred to be the very best of the clone army, and being given access to some of the best equipment in the Republic's forces to bring down Separatists locations even Jedi would struggle to complete. The trade off being that there's only a handful of them, and they tend to operate in groups of one to four. |
| 126 | * OnlySixFaces: Only ''One'' Face if you want to get technical (and maybe six outfits). See ClonesArePeopleToo above. |
| 127 | * OurClonesAreDifferent: The clone troopers are an army of artificially-created humans produced from the genetic material of the legendary bounty hunter Jango Fett on the planet Kamino, and thus they all look identical to not only him but also each other. They were created by the Galactic Republic to serve as their official army in the conflict that would soon be dubbed [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Clone Wars]], and they [[RapidAging age twice as fast as a regular human]] so that they'd become eligible soldiers sooner. |
| 128 | * PropagandaHero: The Republic and early Empire made use of them as mascots for their regimes. Even later Stormtroopers would join to become like them, despite the Stormtroopers themselves showing contempt for Clones. |
| 129 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Given their genetic template and a number of their instructors all being Mandalorian, clone troopers tend to adopt a certain level of Mandalorian culture, including Mandalorian armor markings and the usage of their language. This is far less prominent in canon than Legends, however, with the only hints at this still present in canon are the ''jaig'' eyes that some officers like Rex wear on their helmets. |
| 130 | * PunchClockVillain: The clone troopers become this in ''Revenge of the Sith'' almost to the point of being AffablyEvil due to the fact that they're brainwashed by an inhibitor chip that has been implanted into their brains and forced to kill any Jedi that they see because of said chip. There is also the friendship between Obi-Wan and Cody, their utter lack of enjoyment in executing Order 66, their sincere-sounding apology when they tell Bail Organa to turn around and walk away from the burning Jedi Temple. |
| 131 | * QuantityVsQuality: |
| 132 | ** While the number of clone troopers bred by the Kaminoans was never even close to the massive number of battle droids built by the Separatists, the clones were much more effective combatants on a one-on-one basis, especially compared to the dumb, disposable B1 battle droids that made up the bulk of the CIS droid army. Clones were able to think creatively and could better adapt to changing circumstances on the battlefield, cross-train on multiple types of vehicles and vessels, and even disobey or reinterpret bad orders if necessary. In ''Rebels'', veteran clone Captain Rex mentions his personal kill count of "Clankers" was probably in the tens of thousands, with no hint of exaggeration. |
| 133 | ** The clones themselves get hit with the downside of this after the end of the Clone Wars, as shown in the ''Bad Batch'' series. Clones are highly effective soldiers, but also very expensive to grow and train. Within days of the formation of the Empire, Admirals Tarkin and Rampart are already working to replace the clone army with new legions of natural-born Imperial Stormtroopers, who can be recruited, trained, and [[WeHaveReserves replaced]] in large numbers in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the price that Kamino would charge for making more clones. |
| 134 | * RapidAging: The clones age twice as fast as a normal human. The Kaminoans were contracted to make a skilled army fast, so they designed the clones to go from birth, to training, to combat as quickly as they could without compromising the clones' mental stability and combat effectiveness. The fact that this effectively cut the clones' lifespan in half wasn't much of a concern as they were always meant to be [[WeHaveReserves disposable]]. |
| 135 | * RecurringDreams: ''The Clone Wars''[='=] Order 66 arc implies that all clones have recurring nightmares they never remember about carrying out Order 66 as a side effect of their control chips. |
| 136 | * RedShirtArmy: Despite the new canon focusing greatly on clones, a large number of them still exist simply to die once they're on screen. |
| 137 | * RetiredBadass: In the years after the Clone Wars, the survivors were eventually relieved from combat and were reassigned to assist in laborious tasks or act as instructors for natural born recruits until their aging caught up with them. |
| 138 | * SanityHasAdvantages: Clones under the influence of the inhibitor chips were fanatically loyal to the Empire and lost any prior moral inhibitions to following orders, but they suffered noticeable drop in combat effectiveness. They were assigned to duties significantly different than the ones they trained for in the Clone Wars, but were unable to fully adapt as they had lost most of their ability to think independently and creatively. |
| 139 | * SerkisFolk: In ''Attack of the Clones'' and ''Revenge of the Sith'', the clone troopers were recorded via motion-capture and copied numerous times. |
| 140 | * ServantRace: They were created for the sole purpose of "serving" the Republic as expendable soldiers. This was brought up several times throughout the Clone Wars, arguing that once the war is done there would be no place for them. |
| 141 | * ShellShockedVeteran: A lot of the surviving clone troopers became this after the execution of Order 66 and as such were reassigned to work elsewhere. |
| 142 | * StandardSciFiArmy: Every category available is used by the Grand Army of the Republic. Although, droids serve as support roles. |
| 143 | * SuperPrototype: The Grand Army of the Republic is a much more efficient fighting force than their stormtrooper successors, in no small part due to them being tank-bred for that very purpose. The stormtroopers, on the other hand, consist of conscripts whose training contains almost as much patriotic and Imperial cult brainwashing as actual combat training. After the Clone Wars, clone production was discontinued and those remaining clones served until they succumbed to RapidAging, rendering them non-viable within a decade. Justified in that the stormtroopers are a very large and general army designed for galactic occupation, while the clone troopers are a comparatively very small fully mechanized EliteArmy designed to strike key targets and stiffen local militias (like the Wookiees). That and the production of clone troopers is far more expensive than recruiting and training from the civilian population. |
| 144 | * SuperSoldier: They're considered superior to any Separatist droid army due to their capacity to think and act for themselves, but they're also genetically altered to make them more docile and willing to take orders. |
| 145 | * ThatThingIsNotMyChild: An interesting variation, Jango is obviously well-aware of the clones, and has no issue with them existing, having even personally trained some of them. But he makes it explicitly known that the clones, except Boba are ''not'' his children, nor his brothers, a view Boba also adopted. |
| 146 | * TriggerPhrase: "Execute Order 66". |
| 147 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Post-Order 66. Ignoring the whole Jedi-killing thing, the inhibitor chip also affected their general personalities, becoming far more unpleasant overall, even to their own. |
| 148 | * UndyingLoyalty: The clones developed an intense mutual respect, friendship, and camaraderie with their Jedi commanders over the course of the Clone Wars, in large part because of a combination of RankScalesWithAsskicking, FrontLineGeneral, and belief that ClonesArePeopleToo on the part of the Jedi. It's best exemplified in the final story arc, when Ahsoka rejoins the 501st for the final battle on Mandalore after having earlier been expelled from the Jedi Order on false charges. ''Most of the entire 501st'' that would later become the 332nd Company painted their helmets with a representation of her facial markings prior to meeting her in formation. It's this loyalty that Palpatine cruelly exploited as part of Order 66: The mutual trust ran so deeply that it facilitated the clones catching their commanders by surprise. The inhibitor chip itself enforced this same sense of loyalty... ''to Palpatine''. |
| 149 | * UnwittingPawn: Ultimately, their true purpose was to eradicate their Jedi Generals and pave the way for Palpatine to found his Galactic Empire, a mission they never even knew about until their Order 66 programming kicked in. |
| 150 | * WalkingSpoiler: They’re hard to talk about without spoiling the fact they enact [[ThePurge Order 66]] and wipe out the Jedi Order under Palpatine’s command. Almost every media that involves them has Order 66 brought up as a LateArrivalSpoiler. |
| 151 | * WellTrainedButInexperienced: The clones at the beginning of the Clone Wars had trained for their entire lives in simulations and practice battles, but never had their lives on the line beforehand. |
| 152 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sometime in the early days of the Empire, the clones just vanished from the battlefields and were replaced by ensign Stormtroopers. Most of them were instead ungratefully shoveled into some menial job for the Empire, and most of them had succumbed to their rapid aging by the fall of the Empire. However, some clones who remained physically fit continued serving as Stormtroopers for many years, albeit in small numbers. |
| 153 | * WhatMeasureIsAMook: Good guy example. They were designed to be an army's worth of soldiers manufactured specifically for military service, but with more mindfulness than battle droids. The Jedi that commanded them encouraged individuation, which they definitely engaged in. |
| 154 | * WhiteMaskOfDoom: A staple that carries over to their successors, the Stormtroopers. |
| 155 | * YouAreNumberSix: Played with. Every clone is given an ID number at birth rather than a name. However, most clones end up adopting a name for themselves or being given a nickname by their fellow clones on the battlefield. For example, CT-7567 goes almost exclusively by the name "Rex". |
| 156 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Non-lethal example. Most clone troopers are eventually decommissioned in favor of human conscripts during the age of the Empire. Only a few stayed to become Stormtroopers in the Imperial Army or military instructors in Imperial Academies. [[UngratefulBastard Most Imperials don't think much of the clones who are decommissioned or retired, either]], as they often dismiss the retired clones as senile due to their RapidAging. |
| 157 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: |
| 158 | ** Their accelerated growth means that they look twice as old as they actually are. Most of the clone troopers who served in the Clone Wars were basically children, with little in the way of life skills outside of combat. |
| 159 | ** This trope also applies to their biological ages. By the end of the war, the oldest members were biologically 26 years old, but looked like they were at least in their late 30's, and Temuera Morrison was in his early 40s at the time of filming. |
| 160 | ** To put in perspective [[spoiler:Bad Batch introduces Omega, one of the original clones of Jango Fett. By the time the Clone War ends she seems no older than 13-15 as she was allowed to age normally. In contrast, the aforementioned Bad Batch, clones bred for active service all look to be in their 30s but their TagAlongKid member is their senior by years.]] |
| 161 | * ZergRush: While the Jedi were indeed more powerful due to their lightsabers and force abilities, the clone troopers were ultimately able to defeat them by simply outnumbering them and shooting them while their backs were turned. |

| 179 | |
| 180 | Cody was a Clone Marshal Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He served as Commander of the 7th Sky Corps, as well as the 212[-[[superscript:th]]-] Attack Battalion, a sub-unit of the 7th in addition to being the second-in-command to Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. |
| 181 | ---- |
| 182 | * AceCustom: Cody's armor, which has been heavily modified to include a bunch of extra features and cosmetic touches. |
| 183 | * AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:In ''Legends'', he remains with the Empire for 18 years after Order 66 and the only complaint he exhibits is over the quality of modern stormtroopers. In the current canon, he defects a few months into the Imperial era after realizing how bad the Empire is.]] |
| 184 | * AdaptationalSympathy: [[spoiler:In ''Legends'', he stuck with the Empire after Order 66, with no qualms about his actions in (seemingly) killing Obi-Wan and helping to bring an evil regime over the galaxy. In canon, he does have those regrets, especially when he sees how far the Empire is willing to go to enforce it, and defects once his worst fears have been realized.]] |
| 185 | * AscendedExtra: In ''Legends'' and for most of ''The Clone Wars'', Cody was firmly a SatelliteCharacter, bordering on SpearCarrier, with no particular importance beyond being Obi-Wan's clone commander. ''The Bad Batch'' gives him a fairly major role and more CharacterDevelopment/depth than he's ever gotten before. |
| 186 | * BigBrotherInstinct: As one of the oldest and highest ranking clones, Cody frequently shows concern for the well-being of his many clone-brothers, and is visibly angry when others disregard or mistreat them. When Cody finds out that several of his brothers are being held prisoner on Krystar and will eventually be sold into slavery, he insists that they stage a rescue operation immediately. |
| 187 | -->"These are our ''brothers'' we're talking about. If they're being secretly held as prisoners of war, we ''must'' do something about it." |
| 188 | * BigDamnHeroes: He and his clone troopers show up just in time to save Obi-Wan and assist him in taking down General Grievous. |
| 189 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Due to the control chip that is located in his brain, Cody gets brainwashed and turns on Obi-Wan during the Battle of Utapau after the execution of Order 66. Some time after it's carried out, Cody starts to act more like his old self, but with far deeper regrets for his actions as he slowly realizes just ''what'' he did under the chip's effects and that he doesn't understand why he did it. |
| 190 | * BrokenPedestal: He genuinely considers Crosshair a friend, and the feeling is mutual. However, when they reunite after Order 66 goes out, Cody is quickly disgusted when he realizes Crosshair has adopted the Empire's fascist ideology and complicit in its atrocities. The last straw is when Crosshair shoots Ames without remorse, with Cody implicitly considering him BeyondRedemption after that. |
| 191 | * CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: He is the smooth to Rex's rough, much like the Jedi they work under. Rex is hardheaded and eventually questions the war and the role of the clone troopers in it while Cody remains calm, civil, and by-the-book even until the end. He retains this role in ''The Bad Batch'', this time with Crosshair as the rough, but there it's deconstructed, as Crosshair is "rough" in a horrifyingly amoral way that rightly disturbs Cody. |
| 192 | * CommandingCoolness: His rank is Clone Marshal Commander, although that is often simply shortened to Commander. Clone Marshal Commander is also the highest rank a clone trooper can achieve, with only Cody, Bly, Bacara and Neyo identified as holding this rank. Notably, his armor also has a rank insignia plaque to show how awesomely prominent this rank is, as only non-clone officers usually have the plaque on their uniforms. |
| 193 | * TheComicallySerious: A lot of humor is mined from Cody's stoic and nonplussed reactions to most of the nonsense he has to deal with, having SeenItAll by this point. |
| 194 | --> '''Cody:''' ''[after watching Quinlan Vos jump out of a battleship several feet up in the air and backflip onto a landing platform]'' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Hmm.]] |
| 195 | * DeadpanSnarker: Although it tends to be rather understated, Cody does have a snarky and dark sense of humor that meshes well with Obi-Wan's. |
| 196 | * DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Deserts the Empire after the Battle of Desix and being ordered to execute Governor Ames after negotiating a peaceful surrender, realizing that the Empire isn't actually making things better and that he cannot live with serving it]]. |
| 197 | * DramaticIrony: In ''The Bad Batch'', it's implied he regrets killing Obi-Wan, but the audience is aware that Kenobi survived. He also believes he did so of his own free will, not being aware of the inhibitor chips that ensured he carried out the command. |
| 198 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: In ''The Bad Batch'', he changes his armor's orange to a darker grey, though it's {{Downplayed}} due to the fact he's having questions about the Empire's true motives. |
| 199 | * FlatCharacter: There's not much to Cody besides being a straightforward, professional soldier, and in contrast to Rex, Fives, and many others, he doesn't get any dedicated spotlight episodes until Season 2 of ''The Bad Batch''. That series gives him ''significantly'' more characterization and depth. |
| 200 | * TheGenericGuy: Outside of his accomplishments, there isn't a lot to him. He seems to be a pretty standard clone commander without any crazy personality quirks. This is even reflected in his design, under his mask, he hasn't changed his hairstyle, gotten tattoos or dyed his hair like most other named clones, looking pretty much the same as all clones start out, barring some facial scars. It isn't until ''The Bad Batch'' that he starts to show there's more to him than it seems, as old regrets make him start to question his loyalties. |
| 201 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike other clones in the series, Cody is shown to suffer no ill-effects or broken bones from punching or kicking the heads off battle droids, and even comes out of dog-piling General Grievous with no more than a few scratches. |
| 202 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a pretty nasty-looking one running down from beside his left eye. It starts out as a good scar, then an evil one when he carries out Order 66, then back to good when [[spoiler:he sees just how far the Empire is willing to go to punish anyone who defies them, and then defects.]] |
| 203 | * HeelFaceTurn: He carried out Order 66, but [[spoiler:several months later has regained enough of his personality and morals to question it and ultimately defect from the Empire]]. |
| 204 | * IHaveThisFriend: Cody mentions that "some clones" have started questioning Order 66 to Crosshair, trying to get a feel for how he feels about the Empire, and is clearly unsettled when Crosshair responds that those clones are traitors like the Jedi. |
| 205 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 206 | ** In ''Revenge of the Sith'', Cody returns Obi-Wan's lightsaber ''before'' being brainwashed into executing Order 66. Had it been the other way around, Obi-Wan would've had to leave Utapau without his lightsaber (even if he might not be necessarily killed, with or without the lightsaber, as the film presents that he survives the fall). |
| 207 | ** In the final arc of ''The Clone Wars'', which takes place shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, Obi-Wan saves Cody's life when a Separatist Armored Assault Tank opens fire on him. Come ''Revenge of the Sith'', when Order 66 goes out, Cody orders a AT-TE to fire on Obi-Wan. |
| 208 | * ItsPersonal: When the Separatists attack Kamino, Cody and the other clone troopers get pretty angry since it's their homeworld and where they have a lot of younger brothers living. |
| 209 | -->'''Cody:''' This is personal for us clones. |
| 210 | * TheLancer: To General Kenobi. |
| 211 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Remains ignorant of the control chips Palpatine utilized to cause the Clones to turn on the Jedi, telling Crosshair that the difference between them and droids is that they make their own decisions and have to live with them, the implication being he believes he chose to turn on Obi-Wan and is struggling with that. |
| 212 | * MadeOfIron: Punching and kicking battle droids doesn't hurt or slow him down at all, nor does punching and jumping on General Grievous in an attempt to rip out his exposed throat. |
| 213 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: By the time of ''Bad Batch'', Cody's chip and it's effects on his mind are starting to wear out, leaving Cody increasingly unsettled as he slowly realizes that he (seemingly) killed Obi-Wan for no reason on Utapau and begins questioning the Empire's motives. He isn't aware of the control chips, so he mistakenly thinks that he turned on and murdered his friend completely of his own volition, a fact which worsens his guilt and implied PTSD. |
| 214 | * NiceGuy: One of the most consistently polite and friendly clones, which ''Bad Batch'' further extends into a tendency to try and resolve conflicts peacefully whenever possible because he seems to genuinely hate it when people get hurt. |
| 215 | * NobleFugitive: [[spoiler:After the battle on Desix, Cody realizes that the Empire is a tyranny that he can't abide and goes on the run.]] |
| 216 | * NoodleIncident: His history with the Bad Batch has yet to be explained, but they clearly respect him more than any other "reg" clone trooper besides Rex and he becomes a lot more friendly around them. |
| 217 | * NumberTwo: He is also this to General Kenobi. |
| 218 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: He's not just any clone with a rank. He's a Clone ''Marshal Commander'', one of the absolute highest ranks attainable for any one clone trooper. |
| 219 | * TheReliableOne: Obi-Wan doesn't hesitate to praise Cody for his brilliant tactical mind and unfailing dependability. Other clones clearly view him as this as well, especially Rex and the Bad Batch. |
| 220 | * RememberTheNewGuy: PlayedStraight In ''Revenge of the Sith'', as Cody's first interaction in that movie is asking when he's ever let Kenobi down, despite this being the very first time he was on screen. Subverted afterwards, as supplemental materials make it clear Kenobi and Cody had been working closely together for years. |
| 221 | * SatelliteCharacter: His role as Kenobi's second-in-command, and later executing Order 66 against him, is his entire character. He starts to show further signs of characterization in ''The Bad Batch''. |
| 222 | * ScarsAreForever: He is heavily scarred around his left eye. |
| 223 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:After watching Crosshair cold-bloodedly murder Governor Ames and the Empire crack down on Desix after he had already secured a peaceful surrender, Cody sees the writing on the wall and deserts as soon as they're back on Coruscant.]] |
| 224 | * ShoutOut: He's named in homage to [[Film/RadarMenFromTheMoon Commando Cody]], the Republic serial hero. |
| 225 | * SolarAndLunar: The solar to Rex and the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-]'s lunar, with his orange-yellow armor sporting a sunburst on both the torso and helmet. |
| 226 | * TheStoic: He tends not to show much emotion, but does exchange a few jokes with Kenobi after serving with him for awhile and clearly cares for the well-being of his clone-brothers. |
| 227 | * TechnicalPacifist: He has zero hesitation about scrapping battle droids in combat, but when it comes to normal people and especially civilians, Cody is the sort to talk first and avoid violence no matter what. He's even willing to drop his weapon and put himself at great personal risk in order to defuse the situation on Desix peacefully. It takes [[BrainwashedAndCrazy being controlled via biochip]] to make him fire on another human being, and he's left deeply disturbed and upset when he realizes what he did months later as the chip wears off. [[spoiler:The harsh realization that the Empire does not share these ideals is what prompts him to go AWOL.]] |
| 228 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: He's heavily implied to regret carrying out Order 66 and killing Obi-Wan, but he's unaware that his general did survive. |
| 229 | * TokenGoodTeammate: He's this for the Empire immediately post-Order 66. He's not evil, just a patriot serving his country and still holding true to its ideals[[note]]Even putting down a Wookiee revolt on Kashyyyk[[/note]], even as he begins to question his orders and the events that led to the Empire's founding. [[spoiler:That changes quickly when he sees the governor of Desix get blown away over what's basically wounded pride and a civilian city put under military occupation, all ''after'' he had negotiated a peaceful resolution. He immediately deserts.]] |
| 230 | * TookALevelInCynic: Following Order 66, Cody is far dourer and almost entirely humorless. It's heavily implied to be both the lingering effects of the chip and his guilt over having seemingly killed Obi-Wan. |
| 231 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: In ''The Clone Wars'', he was revealed to be close friends with Clone Force 99. After Order 66, all but Crosshair defects, so when a mission comes up later on, Cody requests Crosshair's aid. Then he sees [[spoiler:Crosshair is nothing but an Imperial stooge willing to execute unarmed prisoners just after Cody had barely talked said prisoner down.]] After that, their friendship is all but over in Cody's eyes. |
| 232 | * YouAreACreditToYourRace: People who typically dislike clones, such as Quinlan Vos and the Bad Batch, tend to like and respect him. |

He went missing during the Battle of Sarrish, suffered amnesia and found himself working in a low-wage diner on the desolate world of Abafar before the D-Squad comes to the planet by accident. After they helped to restore his memory, Gregor aided them in their mission and eventually made his way back into the service of the Republic, although repeated head injuries had begun to affect his personality. |
| 248 | |
| 249 | Following the rise of the Empire, Gregor refused to follow the new regime and deserted with the aid of Rex and the Bad Batch. He eventually came to live with Rex and Wolffe on Seelos, where they would come into contact with the crew of the ''Ghost'' and decide to join the growing rebellion against the Empire. |
| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * AmnesiacDissonance: Initially, before Gascon and the droids make him remember his past. |
| 252 | * AmnesiacHero: He's introduced as a clone suffering from amnesia, which his boss Borkus uses to take advantage of him and employ him as a dishwasher for his diner while underpaying him. Gascon and the droids then spend most of the episode trying to restore his lost memories and get him to remember his origins so he can help them escape Abafar. |
| 253 | * ArmorOfInvincibility: His commando armor is ''insanely'' tough. He can take getting shot multiple times by blasters and even survived a point blank explosions that would have fried any other type of armor. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, without it he's just as vulnerable to getting killed by blaster fire as much as any other clone]]. |
| 254 | * AscendedExtra: He went from being a one-shot character in ''The Clone Wars'' to a supporting character in ''Rebels''. |
| 255 | * BeardOfSorrow: While he had amnesia and was working as a dishwasher at the diner. After Gascon convinced him that he was a soldier, he shaved it off. |
| 256 | * BloodKnight: Pretty standard for clone troopers. This mostly shows when he jumps at the chance to get back into a fight, both when he starts to regain his memories during the Clone Wars, and again 15 years later when the Empire attack his and his two brothers' AT-TE walker. "Why spoil the fun? We haven't been shot at in years!" |
| 257 | * BolivianArmyEnding: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E12MissingInAction Missing in Action]]", he faces down ever-increasing numbers of battle droids with nothing but his rifle, culminating in him setting off an explosion which takes out the shuttleport. His fate is left ambiguous until ''Bad Batch'' and ''Rebels'', which reveals he survived. |
| 258 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Suffering brain damage and becoming quite eccentric as a result hasn't stopped him from being an effective and deadly soldier. |
| 259 | * CentipedesDilemma: While he had doubts about himself, he was unable to even take his blaster back from his master. Once he stopped doubting himself, he instantly returned to being the OneManArmy he really was. |
| 260 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: ''Rebels'' portray him as a LaughingMad {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, which contrasts the rather strait-laced and serious character he is in ''The Clone Wars'', which is justified by his senility though it is later implied that his eccentric behavior is an act. ''The Bad Batch'' depicts him with a mix of both portrayals, implying that his personality change was the result of brain damage sustained during "Missing in Action" which gradually got worse over time. |
| 261 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: |
| 262 | ** He becomes senile in his older years, laughing all the time and tricking Zeb into acting as bait for a SandWorm. Apparently the former head trauma didn't mix well with old age. |
| 263 | ** He's already showing shades of it when [[spoiler:he deserts from the Empire with the help of the Bad Batch]]. It's implied to stem from the brain damage he received in the explosion that seemingly killed him, which worsened with age. |
| 264 | * ContinuityNod: A visual example. Gregor's street clothes were explicitly meant to have a "classic '70s ''Star Wars''" feel to them. |
| 265 | * CoolHelmet: A clone commando helmet that has a bunch of what look like tally marks on it — but they're not. They're [[WordOfGod actually]] all the headwounds he would have taken had he not been wearing a helmet! [[note]]Inspired by [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Boston Bruins]] goaltender Gerry Cheever's doing the same.[[/note]] |
| 266 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Even as a senile old man, Gregor has lost none of his competence. |
| 267 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After being fatally wounded during the Liberation of Lothal, he dies with Rex holding him in his final moments]]. |
| 268 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: |
| 269 | ** Taking on a battalion of Separatist droids on his own to cover for the escape of Gascon and the droids. Subverted in that he ultimately survived his sacrifice. |
| 270 | ** [[spoiler:He ultimately meets his end fighting not the Separatists, but for the Rebellion. He says he is happy to have died fighting for a cause he chose, rather than one he was born to]]. |
| 271 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After Gascon convinced him that he's a soldier, he [[ImportantHaircut cut his hair shorter and shaved off his beard]]. He said he did it because he thought that looking like a soldier might help bring back his memories. |
| 272 | * FiringOneHanded: Tends to fire his blaster carbine one-handed when he needs less accurate but more immediate fire, or when firing on the move. |
| 273 | * {{Foil}}: To Cut Lawquane. They both lost their squads in a devastating battle. While Cut left the army out of his own will and would like nothing more than to forget the horrors he saw, Gregor went missing and lost his memories. Also, when they were confronted by their earlier lives, Cut declared that he'd only ever fight again for his family. Gregor, on the other hand, JumpedAtTheCall and did everything in his power to assure the success of Gascon's mission. |
| 274 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Defied, those tally marks on his helmet indicate all the injuries he ''would'' have had had he not been wearing it. |
| 275 | * IDieFree: [[spoiler:In his dying words to Rex, he thanks him for the opportunity to fight for a cause he believed in, rather than the one he was created to serve.]] |
| 276 | -->'''Gregor:''' [[spoiler:[[ItHasBeenAnHonor It was an honor]] to serve with you, Rex. It was an honor to fight with you for something that we ''chose'' to believe in.]] |
| 277 | * IdentityAmnesia: When Gascon first met him, he was timid, shy and uncertain. After he got his gear, and some of his memories back, his true personality turned out to be a that of self-confident, selfless soldier. |
| 278 | * ImportantHaircut: While on Abafar, he grew his hair kind of long and had a shaggy beard. When he's reminded of his true identity, he shaves off the beard and cuts his hair back into his old short style. |
| 279 | * ItHasBeenAnHonor: Said this to Gascon and thanked him for reminding him who he really was. [[spoiler:Says it again to Rex as he dies]]. |
| 280 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He has survived three potential brushes with death in his military career, but he dies for good at the end of ''Rebels'']]. |
| 281 | * KillTally: His helmet has tally marks written all over it, likely to count all the Separatists and droids he killed prior to getting amnesia. |
| 282 | * LastStand: He held his own against an army of battle droids long enough that Gascon and the droids could escape. [[SubvertedTrope Later, it turned out that he survived]]. |
| 283 | * LaughingMad: In ''The Bad Batch'' and ''Rebels'' (especially ''Rebels'') he's prone to random fits of mad cackling. |
| 284 | * MadeOfIron: Survived 3 events that killed everyone around him. Once during the Battle of Sarrish, again when his transport crashed on Abafar, and again when covering Colonel Gascon's evacuation from Abafar ([[SchrodingersCanon if Legends content holds any water]], Clone Commando armor is so durable that one wearing it can survive sitting on an active thermal detonator), which ''The Bad Batch'' outright confirms. Granted, it's implied he deserted to Abafar when his entire squad was killed on Sarrish and the crash on Abafar caused head trauma-induced amnesia. The prior head trauma and old age eventually made him a bit senile. [[spoiler:However, since he's not wearing any armor at all during the liberation of Lothal, [[InstantDeathBullet all it takes is a single blaster shot to the chest from an armed technician to take him down for good]].]] |
| 285 | * MutualKill: [[spoiler:An Imperial technician fatally wounds him during the liberation of Lothal, but he manages to send that technician plummeting to his death before he perishes.]] |
| 286 | * NeverFoundTheBody: In ''The Clone Wars'', he went missing in action after one of the most devastating battles of the war. Happened again after he helped Gascon and the droids. ''Rebels'' reveals that he survived that, too. |
| 287 | * NonActionGuy: Before getting his memories back, he couldn't even grab his weapon from the overweight diner owner that took him in. |
| 288 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: While most of his LastStand against the Separatist army is shown, the ending isn't — and given how many droids were left at the outpost, Gregor's survival was an impressive one indeed. |
| 289 | * OldSoldier: 15 years later, even accelerated aging and senility hasn't stopped him from fighting against the Empire. |
| 290 | * OneManArmy: Is shown holding his ground against a Separatist droid force, including Droidekas and Super Battle Droids, single-handedly while R2-D2's infiltration team [[WeNeedADistraction uses his distraction to move in]]. |
| 291 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the ''Rebels'' finale, his senile demeanor often slips. [[spoiler:And when he dies, there's no trace of it, simply thanking Rex for inviting him so he could die fighting for something he chose rather than something chosen for him.]] |
| 292 | * SanitySlippage: It's heavily implied that brain damage he sustained during his LastStand worsened due to his RapidAging, resulting in him becoming the cackling ScatterbrainedSenior he is in ''Rebels'' |
| 293 | * ScannableMan: All clones have this, apparently, but it's only been shown being used on Gregor. It's invisible unless scanned, and allows R2 to pull up his service record. |
| 294 | * ScratchyVoicedSenior: In ''Rebels'', he speaks with a raspy, high-pitched voice to showcase both his age and senility. |
| 295 | * ShellShockedVeteran: He's obviously traumatized by the Battle of Saresh after being cured of his amnesia. |
| 296 | --> '''Gregor:''' I remember… I remember all the bodies… bodies everywhere… |
| 297 | * SignatureLaugh: He has a tendency to do a crazed chuckle in ''Rebels'' and, to a lesser extent, ''The Bad Batch''. |
| 298 | * SoleSurvivor: Heavily implied that his whole squad was killed in the battle where he lost his memory. |
| 299 | * StillWearingTheOldColors: 15 years after the rise of the Empire, Gregor was found still wearing pieces of his old armor, although just the gloves, forearm guards, and boots. WordOfGod also states that the emblem on his tank top is from the diner where he washed dishes during his amnesia. |
| 300 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After being fatally wounded by an Imperial technician in the finale of ''Rebels'', Gregor shoves the technician off the platform before he collapses.]] |
| 301 | * TookALevelInBadass: Before regaining his memories, he was unable to take his blaster back from his master. A few minutes later he takes on a garrison worth of droids, and effortlessly holds them up long enough for Gascon and the droids to escape. |
| 302 | * TraumaInducedAmnesia: Implied to have been the case due to his being a survivor of a devastating loss. |
| 303 | * VocalEvolution: His voice is higher-pitched and raspier in ''Rebels'', to compliment his aging and new {{Cloudcuckoolander}} traits. ''The Bad Batch'' has him speak in a mix of his ''The Clone Wars'' and ''Rebels'' voices. |
| 304 | %%* WeNeedADistraction: |
| 305 | * WholeCostumeReference: Visually, he seems to take a few cues from the boys of [[VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando Delta Squad]], particularly Scorch and Boss. |

| 318 | Waxer was an experienced member of 212[[superscript:th]] Battalion's Ghost Company who worked with fellow clone trooper Boil. |
| 319 | ---- |
| 320 | * CanonImmigrant: He first appeared in the "Slaves of the Republic" tie-in comic-book series, though [[EarlyBirdCameo it was only a very small role]]. In canon, he appears for the first time in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E20InnocentsOfRyloth Innocents of Ryloth]]". However, when his debut comic got adapted to television, Waxer was AdaptedOut and had his cameo turned over to Boil as a result of his death an episode earlier during the Umbara arc. |
| 321 | * CustomUniform: His helmet has a kill count stenciled onto it, along with Numa's face painted onto the right side of its forehead. By the time of the Battle of Umbara, Waxer has started having to use his left shoulder pad for his kill count as well, which is up to eighty. |
| 322 | * MauveShirt: He was killed in his third appearance. |

However, by the end of the episode, Boil too grows attached to the little girl. |

| 327 | * UndignifiedDeath: He doesn't get to go out valiantly protecting the Republic. Instead, he is duped into fighting his own comrades by a traitorous general and is team-killed by the 501st. |

| 397 | Wolffe was the commander of the 104[-[[superscript:th]]-] Battalion's Wolfpack and second-in-command to Jedi General Plo Koon. |
| 398 | ---- |
| 399 | * AmbiguousSituation: Under what circumstances did he end his service to the Empire and join Rex in ''Rebels''? In the ''Bad Batch'', it's heavily implied that letting Rex's rebel cell go might have cost him good standing with the Empire due to breaking protocol, but Wolffe in ''Rebels'' feels safe enough to call the Empire and rat out the rebels, implying that he retired the old fashion way. There's also the fact that his tendency of calls of delusional distress are well documented in his service record, meaning he could've been simply discharged for being mentally unfit for service. Whatever the case, it's enough for Wolffe to not fully embrace the Rebellion until the series finale of ''Rebels''. |
| 400 | * AnimalMotifs: Wolf. Even his squad is called "The Wolfpack". |
| 401 | * AscendedExtra: In ''The Clone Wars'', Wolffe serves mostly as a SatelliteCharacter to Plo Koon, only establishing some of his own personality traits without Plo around a few times. In ''Rebels'' (and with Plo long dead), Wolffe is now part of a trio of clones who joined the Rebellion. |
| 402 | * AuthorAppeal: Dave Filoni is a big fan of wolves. |
| 403 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: It's heavily implied that Wolffe carried out Order 66 before his chip was removed and remnants of that mindset still remain in his head. The only thing preventing him from murdering Ezra and Kanan is Rex constantly reminding him that the Jedi didn't betray them despite what the Order 66 programming compels him to believe. ''The Bad Batch'' shows his service to the Empire before his hiding out with Rex and Gregor on Seelos, and when we see him, it's implied he ''still'' has his inhibitor chip around that time. |
| 404 | * BroadStrokes: The incident in which Wolffe lost his eye was shown in one of ''The Clone Wars''' tie-in comics, which is part of ''Legends''. However, ''Ultimate Star Wars'' confirmed the Battle of Khorm and the loss of his eye to Asajj Ventress as canon. |
| 405 | * CommandingCoolness: He holds the rank of commander in the clone army. |
| 406 | * ElectronicEyes: [[ContinuityNod He got a cybernetic replacement.]] After his original right eye has been permanently damaged, he chooses to have it replaced with a cybernetic one that's silver in color. |
| 407 | * EyeScream: He lost an eye to Asajj Ventress between his first and second appearances in ''The Clone Wars''. |
| 408 | * FormerlyFit: Just like Rex, Wolffe has put on a few by the time he meets with the Ghost's crew. |
| 409 | * HeroAntagonist: During ''The Bad Batch'', he's taking orders from the Empire, but he only does so out of belief that what he's doing is right. When Rex confronts him again, he tells him the Empire is experimenting on their brothers, and how he's hunting a child. Wolffe finds it hard to take in. |
| 410 | * HeroKiller: While Captain Jag was the one that shot down and killed Plo Koon and Wolffe’s exact location during Order 66 remains unknown, it’s implied both in ''Rebels'' and through WordOfGod that he did carry out Order 66. |
| 411 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Takes the Empire's orders and instructions at face value. It's only when he finds a bunch of "insurgents" and sees they're clones that he starts thinking something might be up. |
| 412 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Rebels'', he intercepts the messages Ahsoka had been sending to Rex and sent a message to the Empire alerting them to the presence of the ''Ghost'' crew, under the reasoning that it was to protect his fellow clones. |
| 413 | * JetPack: Uses one along with his soldiers during the battle on Felucia and during the rescue at Kadavo. |
| 414 | * ManInAKilt: He wears kama like a lot of clone officers. |
| 415 | * NoodleIncident: It's heavily implied that he did indeed carry out Order 66 before having his chip removed. Exactly ''what'' he did is never stated, but given he thinks the Jedi are coming to take their revenge on him, it most likely wasn't pleasant. |
| 416 | * NumberTwo: To Plo Koon in Clone Wars. |
| 417 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He followed the Empire because he felt it was his job. It's not until a run-in with Rex, who points out he's hunting a ''child'', that he starts getting any second thoughts. |
| 418 | * OddFriendship: With [[KidHero Mart]] and [[ReformedCriminal Vizago]] during the ''Rebels'' series finale. |
| 419 | * OldSoldier: Like Captain Rex, it doesn't seem the accelerated aging has stopped him from fighting against the Empire alongside him and Gregor. |
| 420 | * OnceASeason: With the exceptions of Seasons 5 and 7, Wolffe received a new character model every season of ''The Clone Wars''. In Season 1, he was in a naval officer uniform. In Season 2, he got a suit of armor. In Season 3, the color palette on the helmet was reversed. In Season 4, he upgraded to Phase II armor with a unique helmet design. In Season 6, he appeared in desert survival gear. In one of the Season 4 DVD commentaries, Dave Filoni joked that Wolffe was something of a fashionista among clones. |
| 421 | * OneSteveLimit: During the ''Rebels'' finale, when [[TheCavalry the lothwolves]] show up, Gregor points out that now they have Wolffe and lothwolves; [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Wolffe's got his Wolfpack back!]][[invoked]] |
| 422 | * TheParanoiac: In ''Rebels'', as a result of living through the Clone Wars, Order 66 and the rise of the Empire — and being one of the few clones aware of the GovernmentConspiracy, since he had his chip removed — he's become incredibly paranoid, and hides Ahsoka's messages to Rex on the grounds that she's a Jedi and could come back for revenge. In that appearance, his paranoia is also directly responsible for the Empire's arrival on Seelos. WordOfGod suggests it might even be a side effect of only having the chip removed ''after'' Order 66 - even though he had it removed, Wolffe can't quite shake his paranoia about Jedi. |
| 423 | * PunchClockVillain: While with the Empire. He's just following orders, not being a fanatic, and is blind to the sheer institutional evil all around him. |
| 424 | * SchrodingersCanon: In 2018, Henry Gilroy said that Wolffe [[spoiler:probably carried out Order 66 and only removed his chip afterwards]]. As of yet, this has yet to be explicitly confirmed in any canon material, but it is very possible given [[spoiler: Rex only gets his chip taken out ''while actively trying to carry out the order himself'']] in the penultimate episode of ''The Clone Wars''. |
| 425 | * ScreamingWarrior: When he faces off against the AT-[=ATs=][[note]] [=AT-AT/Ps=] according to the ''Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide''[[/note]] in ''Rebels''. |
| 426 | * ShellShockedVeteran: In ''Rebels'', it is implied that the aftermath of war and [[ThePurge Order 66]] has left Wolffe in a state of constant paranoia, as his first reaction to Kanan's lightsaber is shooting at Kanan, saying that the Jedi are here for revenge, only for Rex to remind him that they weren't the ones who betrayed the clones. |
| 427 | * StillWearingTheOldColors: When the crew of the ''Ghost'' found him 15 years after the rise of the Empire, he was still wearing pieces of his old Phase II armor, specifically the forearm guards, gloves, right shoulder pad, chest piece, boots, and helmet. The upper arms, left shoulder pad, lower torso, thigh guard, kama and backpack were missing. As ''Bad Batch'' shows, he wore the whole set during his time in the Empire. |

| 431 | ** When confronted by Rex in ''The Bad Batch'', he gives Wolffe a reality check about how dangerous the mindset is of following orders, and convinces him to let him and the Clone Underground go without further conflict. |
| 432 | ** Since the Empire keeps tabs on him, Rex, and Gregor, he had to report the Rebels' presence to them, as helping them would be treason. Wolffe eventually chooses good, and defects with his fellow clones. |
| 433 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Because of his accelerated aging, he's physically an old man by the time of ''Rebels'', despite chronologically being in his twenties. |

| 505 | |
| 506 | Fox was the commander of the Coruscant Guard and one of the most highly decorated clone troopers in the Republic Clone Army. |
| 507 | ---- |
| 508 | * AssholeVictim: While Fox wasn't ''necessarily'' evil and more of an UnwittingPawn, he was never the nicest, either, as Ahsoka and Fives can attest, and he was indirectly and unwittingly responsible for allowing Order 66 to take place in the long run. So, it's hard to feel sorry for him when Vader kills him. |
| 509 | * BackForTheDead: He returns in ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' just in time to die unceremoniously. |
| 510 | * TheCaptain: Of the Coruscant Guard and later the clone shock troopers. |
| 511 | * CommandingCoolness: He holds the rank of commander. |
| 512 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite his accomplishments, ''nobody'' in the Grand Army, nor any of the Jedi like Fox all that much. |
| 513 | * TheFaceless: He is one of a few clone commanders whose face we never see, making him look more emotionless and menacing than other high-ranking clones whose faces we did see. Fittingly, he becomes an antagonist as an InspectorJavert on more than one occasion, due to his [[MidSeasonUpgrade Phase II Clone Armor]]. |
| 514 | * GunsAkimbo: Much like Captain Rex. |
| 515 | * InspectorJavert: When hunting down Ahsoka and Fives. |
| 516 | * KilledMidSentence: Darth Vader snaps his neck with the Force while he's in the midst of an apology. |
| 517 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He doesn't visibly have this reaction (since he's always been seen wearing a helmet), but the camera briefly focusing on him during Fives' last words suggests he really feels bad about shooting him (and he only intended to arrest him, most likely unaware that Palpatine planned to have him silenced), even though he wasn't seen in the circle of un-helmeted clone shock troopers gathering around Fives' body. |
| 518 | * NeckSnap: He dies as a result of being Force-choked courtesy of Vader. |
| 519 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Due to being stationed on Coruscant and being the Senate's security force (and thus being bound to directly serve some rather corrupt individuals within the Senate and military), he has a habit of inadvertently perpetuating the Clone Wars and allowing the rise of the Empire. |
| 520 | ** He accidentally allows a group of Separatist demolition droids to enter one of Coruscant's power plants as a result of believing them to be simple cleaning droids and then directs them to the power generators when he notices them going the wrong way, allowing them to sabotage the peace plan Mina and Padme made to stop more of Fox's "brothers" from being put on the frontlines. |
| 521 | --->'''Fox:''' Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute! Power generators are that way. Heh, stupid droids. |
| 522 | ** He arrested Ahsoka and did not allow Anakin to see her, thus leading to her becoming disillusioned with the Jedi Order and the Republic, leaving it, and Anakin being separated from one of his [[MoralityPet Morality Pets]]. |
| 523 | ** He attempted to arrest Fives and then killed him in self-defense, thus keeping the truth about Order 66 from getting out. |
| 524 | ** His men fired on Darth Vader while attempting to pursue Jocasta Nu, allowing her to get away. This was the last straw for his career, as Vader saw he paid for his mistake with his life. |

| 526 | * RejectedApology: He tries to make amends with Vader for neglecting to inform his troops of the dark lord's allegiance. Unfortunately for him, [[NeckSnap Vader doesn't do apologies]]. |
| 527 | * UnwittingPawn: He has accidentally helped out Palpatine's EvilPlan in more ways than any other clone trooper in the Republic army, whether by inadvertently driving one of Anakin's only friends away from him or accidentally silencing a witness to the true nature of the Clone Wars. |
| 528 | * YouHaveFailedMe: He neglects to describe Darth Vader's appearance to his men, leading them to mistake Vader for a Jedi and open fire. He tries to apologize, but Vader [[NeckSnap doesn't want to hear it]]. |

| 565 | * MeaningfulName: See ShoutOut. |
| 566 | * RedShirt: He dies at the beginning of the Separatist invasion of Scipio. Granted, he lasts notably longer than the other RedShirts accompanying him. Being part of the Coruscant Guard (who normally wear red) may be a LampshadeHanging. |
| 567 | * ShoutOut: WordOfGod has admitted that Thorn is their way of congratulating Creator/JossWhedon for his success on ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.

| 636 | * {{BFG}}: He favors a giant minigun as his primary weapon, leading to his nickname Hevy. He gets told off for this by Commander Cody when immediately going for the bigger gun to fend off invading droids at the Rishi moon outpost. |

| 648 | * HotBlooded: In his chronological debut appearance in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E1CloneCadets Clone Cadets]]", he's depicted as the biggest jerk of Domino Squad and the most eager to rush into a fight without thinking. It gets {{Deconstructed}} pretty quickly, as his refusal to rescued a downed teammate results in an automatic failure on the group's final test--an act of which the [=ARC=] trooper present [[WhatTheHellHero promptly chews him out for.]] |
| 649 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E1CloneCadets Clone Cadets]]", he's shown as being a lone wolf who's largely out for himself--one who was even willing to go [=AWOL=]--but who does care for his brothers.

| 717 | Delta Squad was an elite squad of clone commandos. Its members were Boss, Sev, Scorch, and Fixer. |
| 718 | ---- |
| 719 | !!General Tropes |
| 720 | * BadassCrew: They're an elite commando unit, trained to deal with special missions and were at least implied to have been good at their job. |
| 721 | * TheCameo: They were the clone squad that retrieved the bodies of Jedi Master Halsey and his Padawan Knox and brought them back to the Jedi Temple, following their slaying by Savage Opress. |
| 722 | * CanonImmigrant: They're the main characters of ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando''. They appear in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E14WitchesOfTheMist Witches of the Mist]]", integrating them into canon. |
| 723 | * ContinuityNod: Their cameo in "Witches of the Mist" was a nod to the ''Republic Commando'' video game and book series, which are now no longer canon. However, their appearance in ''The Clone Wars'' is safely canon. |
| 724 | * CoolHelmet: They all have Clone Commando helmets. |
| 725 | * FallenHero: Just like in the ''Literature/RepublicCommandoSeries'', Delta Squad, minus Sev, go from one of the best squads to helping the Empire, though only Scorch is seen as one of the clone commandos training the first batch of TK Troopers, aka the Stormtroopers. |
| 726 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: We never actually get to see them do anything in ''The Clone Wars'', but they were obviously active soldiers. |
| 727 | * SchrodingersCanon: Given they originated from ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando'', it begs the question of how much of the game is canon. |
| 728 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to the events of the game being left up in the air, it's unknown what became of Delta Squad after Order 66, but it's assumed they at least survived the Clone Wars.

| 734 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scorch_tbbs2.png]] |
| 735 | ->'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch The Bad Batch]]'' |
| 736 | |
| 737 | Commander Scorch was once a member of the fabled Delta Squad, before being reassigned to Weyland, following the Clone Wars. There, he became head of the [[PraetorianGuard Imperial Royal Guard]] stationed at Mount Tantiss and served directly under Doctor Royce Hemlock during the highly secretive Project: Necromancer. |
| 738 | ---- |
| 739 | * AdaptationalJerkass: While Scorch served in the Empire in ''Legends'', his tasks mostly involved hunting down surviving Jedi, their sympathizers and rebels, and there was nothing indicating that he did anything more than that. In Canon, he's the right-hand clone of a mad scientist who experiments on other clones and is even complicit in Hemlock's experiments on kidnapped Force-sensitive children by keeping them contained (and derogatorily [[ItIsDehumanizing referring to them as specimens]]). |
| 740 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In ''Legends'', he was known for being a wisecracker that enjoyed blowing things up, but grew sour after his squad was forced to leave Sev behind near the end of the Clone Wars, traits he carried over as an Imperial Commando. In Canon, we don't get any hints of this during the Clone Wars, and his personality as an Imperial Commando is much colder and no-nonsense. |
| 741 | * AdaptationalWimp: Scorch in ''Legends'' was depicted as a highly capable, elite soldier who received special training from a Mandalorian, and could hold his own just as well as in tandem with his brothers. In Canon there's no indication he's anything more than an exceptionally competent [[EliteMook Elite]] MookLieutenant who doesn't demonstrate nearly the same level of combat prowess. [[spoiler:To wit, the two onscreen fights Scorch receives in ''The Bad Batch'' can seldom be called fights, as they were incredibly brief and one-sided, with the second one resulting in his death before he could even fire a shot.]] |
| 742 | * AscendedExtra: Downplayed in that he's still a supporting character at best, but Scorch appears more consistently throughout the third season of ''The Bad Batch'', compared to his relatively sparse appearances in the prior two. |
| 743 | * TheBusCameBack: After a voiceless cameo alongside the rest of his squad in ''The Clone Wars'', Scorch returns as a supporting antagonist in ''The Bad Batch''. |
| 744 | * CommandingCoolness: He holds the rank of Commander and is quite efficient at his job. |
| 745 | * CurbStompCushion: Scorch has a brief skirmish against the titular Bad Batch and while he ultimately loses, the fact he's able to flank and incapacitate both Gregor and Tech in seconds speaks to how much of a threat he was to them. [[spoiler:The second time, however, was a straight up a CurbStompBattle, with Scorch getting plugged full of holes before even firing a shot.]] |
| 746 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:In ''Legends'', Scorch was still an active soldier as an Imperial Commando, alongside the remainder of his squad. In Canon, he's killed one year into the Galactic Empire's reign, with no comment to the whereabouts or fate of his squad mates.]] |
| 747 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Even after eating a lethal shot to the chest, Scorch still attempts to fight off Hunter and Crosshair to keep them from getting to Hemlock and Omega, receiving four more rounds until he finally dies.]] |
| 748 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Downplayed. He gets filled with blaster holes from Hunter and Crosshair before his lifeless corpse falls over the bridge of Mount Tantiss in the GrandFinale of ''The Bad Batch''.]] |
| 749 | * TheDragon: Hemlock's right-hand clone who holds authority over the commandos at Mount Tantiss, and is entrusted to carry out assignments on the doctor's behalf. Though Hemlock has others assistants in Emerie Karr and Scalder, the former undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and the latter is [[YouHaveFailedMe removed]] from her position for incompetence, while Scorch remains at Hemlock's side to the very end. |
| 750 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:He's abruptly and easily killed off by Crosshair and Hunter during the GrandFinale of ''The Bad Batch'', not even giving them a battle before he falls to his death. For added points, he literally drops off a bridge upon death.]] |
| 751 | * EvilSoundsDeep: On the occasions he does speak, his voice is slightly lower than the average clone's. |
| 752 | * TheFaceless: Like all Imperial-aligned clones in ''The Bad Batch'', he is never shown without his helmet. |
| 753 | * FlatCharacter: Scorch doesn't exhibit any of the light-hearted traits he's known for in Legends, instead being depicted as little else than Hemlock's cold, no-nonsense enforcer. |
| 754 | * InNameOnly: Beyond his name and appearance, this iteration of Scorch demonstrates none of the wisecracking DeadpanSnarker personality he's known for, suffering from AdaptationalJerkass, AdaptationalVillainy, ''and'' AdaptationalWimp. He’s only referred to by name once in the entire series, halfway through the final season. |
| 755 | * LackOfEmpathy: Scorch demonstrates a concerning lack of compassion for his fellow clones, being complicit in experimentation and extreme conditioning that most subjects don't survive. He also doesn't bat an eye to the kidnapping of Force sensitive children and isn't above harming them to keep them in line. One notable instance is Emerie commenting, [[EveryoneHasStandards with a hint of surprise]], at Baryn being an infant and Scorch's response is nothing short of cold. |
| 756 | -->'''Emerie''': This... [[ItIsDehumanizing specimen]] is younger than I expected. |
| 757 | -->'''Scorch''': [[KickTheDog Then he'll be less trouble]]. |
| 758 | * MadeOfIron: It takes ''five'' stun rounds to incapacitate Scorch, and he's back on his feet not long after. To put it into perspective, every other Imperial typically goes down with one shot, and Gregor went down in two. [[spoiler:Likewise, he takes five ''real'' blaster rounds from Hunter and Crosshair before going down for good.]] |
| 759 | * MookLieutenant: As Hemlock's NumberTwo, Scorch is the Commander of the [[PraetorianGuard Imperial Royal Guard]], a detachment of Clone Commandos stationed at Mount Tantiss. He's the only one among them to retain his traditional color markings, and takes charge when the doctor is absent, [[MissionControl even managing his X Troopers during missions]]. |
| 760 | * TheQuietOne: In stark contrast to the game, where he was a wisecracking chatterbox, Scorch tends to say very little, if anything in his early appearances in ''The Bad Batch''. It wasn't until the second season that he actually spoke at all, but he's much more talkative in the third season. |
| 761 | * TokenCompetentMinion: Compared to the [[{{Mooks}} TK-Troopers]] and his fellow [[EliteMooks Clone Commandos]], Scorch is depicted as smarter and more competent, giving the Batch trouble in their first encounter, successfully apprehending villagers who witnessed the cloned Zillo Beast, capturing Omega in the second season finale, and directing the X Troopers in the third season. |
| 762 | * TookALevelInJerkass: If ''Republic Commando'' is still canon, then he's taken several, going from a DeadpanSnarker who refused to leave a squadmate behind to a cold enforcer of the Empire, who oversees experimentation on other clones, the mass execution of innocents who merely saw a rogue experiment, and managing the X Troopers in their black-ops missions. |
| 763 | * UndyingLoyalty: He's very dutiful in his assignment to Hemlock, to the degree it supersedes loyalty to his fellow clones, as he has no compunction about them dying in extremely unethical experiments. [[spoiler:By the GrandFinale, he's the last clone commando at Hemlock's side, and Hunter and Crosshair have to kill him to rescue Omega.]] |
| 764 | * TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Compared to at least his first fight with the Bad Batch where he stuns two members, his second scuffle is nothing more than him being gunned down before he had a chance to fire a single shot, though it still took at least three shots to do him in.]] |
| 765 | * WouldHurtAChild: He has no problem abducting force-sensitive children for the Empire, and will not hesitate to stun them if they try to escape. Which, given they're locked up and experimented on with no hope of ever being released, they do. |

| 787 | * NoOneGetsLeftBehind: He's a firm believer of this, and it's his first fundamental rule for clones that they fight together. Seeing Domino Squad leave a wounded teammate behind is what instantly causes them to fail the test. |
| 788 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives one to Domino Squad after watching their disastrous training run, berating them for not working as a team and, worst of all, leaving a man behind. |

| 989 | |
| 990 | Grey was the commander of Jedi Master Depa Billaba's unit, and as one of only four clone survivors of her first unit (which was decimated by Dooku) to join her new battalion he became the clone commander of her new battalion. He was glad she recovered from her coma and happy following her into battle again. After Order 66 is issued, he commands the Imperial garrison on Kaller and leads the search for Caleb Dume. |
| 991 | ---- |
| 992 | * AllThereInTheManual: The Topps trading card collection released for ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch The Bad Batch]]'' reveals that he’s a member of the 41st Elite listed above. It’s [[AmbiguousSituation left ambiguous]] if this applies to his men or not, because of the heavy retconning of his participation of Order 66, and the rest of his men more or less being AdaptedOut. It should be noted that his armor was changed to green in the show instead of the red he has in the comics, giving his armor a similar appearance to clone trooper Buzz. |
| 993 | * BadassBandolier: Wears a bandolier on the right side of his armor, which includes a slot for a short sword on his back. |
| 994 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Goes from happily chatting with Depa and Caleb Dume to trying to murder them within minutes of Order 66 being issued. [[spoiler:He eventually manages to snap out of the programming several months later after speaking with Caleb, who points out everything wrong with the "Jedi are traitors" scenario.]] |
| 995 | * CommandingCoolness: Before Order 66, he is a cheerful and highly loyal badass commander to Depa. |
| 996 | * {{Foil}}: Following Order 66, the contrast between Grey's {{just following orders}} response and Styles' more rabid sadistic hatred of the Jedi comes to a head when [[spoiler:Grey manages to subvert his programming and tries to save Caleb, while Styles refuses to acknowledge he was ever friendly with or loyal to a Jedi and wants Caleb to suffer and die]]. |
| 997 | * TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: [[spoiler:Caleb's experience during Order 66 justifiably caused him to grow distrustful towards all surviving clone troopers all the way up to ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', even to those who did not carry out the order such as Rex. Little does he know he owes his life to Commander Grey, who came to realize what he had done under Order 66 and deliberately sabotaged his own ship's shields in order for Caleb's rescuers to get him to safety. Those who witness his redemption perish alongside with him, as the loss of the shields allow Kasmir and Kleeve to blow the ship up with relative ease.]] |
| 998 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After speaking with Caleb, Grey realizes how seriously wrong all the clones obeying Order 66 without a second thought was and that something had messed with their brains.]] |
| 999 | * HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:He sabotages his ship's shields, allowing Kasmir and Kleeve to destroy them and escape with Caleb.]] |
| 1000 | * HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:While Caleb's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech was definitely a factor, he's the first clone that we know of to overcome his programming.]] |
| 1001 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: While most clones try doing something with their appearance to make them stand out from their brothers, Grey doesn't even need to try due to the scar across his face and the fact that he's maintained a bit more baby fat than other clone veterans, making his face smoother and younger-looking compared to most of his brothers' angular faces. |
| 1002 | * JustFollowingOrders: Unlike other clones who manage to twist their own memories in order to obey Order 66, Grey never forgets that he was once loyal to Billaba, and when first given the order says "Good soldiers follow orders" with a ThousandYardStare before giving in to his programming. [[spoiler:When Caleb pokes holes in the source of those orders and his reason for supposedly following them he manages to subvert his programming entirely, but not before killing Billaba and hunting Caleb for months.]] |
| 1003 | * MadnessMantra: After Order 66 is given, he states "Good soldiers follow orders" before ordering his men to begin firing on Depa and Caleb. |
| 1004 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He has this reaction when Caleb points out that he and his troops had murdered Depa without a second thought despite their loyalty and devotion to her previously. After realizing his brothers won't stop to kill her apprentice, he decides to make amends by sabotaging his ship and sacrificing himself in order for Caleb to escape.]] |
| 1005 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:When he realizes Styles has become so deluded that he hates the Jedi and revels in the thought of painfully killing Caleb and so won't listen to Grey about how messed up Order 66 was, he sabotages their ship in order to prevent the others from killing Caleb, allowing it to be shot down by those helping the kid.]] |
| 1006 | * {{Retcon}}: In the comic, Depa, Caleb, and the clones are shown sitting around a campfire when Order 66 comes in. ''The Bad Batch'' changes this to daytime, with the clones fighting a losing battle against battle droids until Caleb shows up with the titular squad. Grey’s armor also has green accents in the show instead of red, but otherwise appears mostly unchanged. |

Grey is the only clone trooper in Depa Billaba’s Battalion that has customized armor and is referred to as “Captain Grey”, possibly implying that version is meant to be a CompositeCharacter. |

| 1027 | * {{Irony}}: After Depa states that she thinks it was a mistake for the Jedi to become military commanders, Styles tells her that she would not want to see the battalion without her leadership. A few minutes later, she sees exactly that as the unit functions very effectively while trying to kill her and Caleb. |
| 1028 | * NumberTwo: As the second highest ranking clone in Depa's unit, and one of only four survivors from her first unit, Styles acts as Grey's number two and their contrasting personalities allow them to help see things the other might miss. |

| 1079 | * NewMeat: Due to the fate of Billaba's previous unit, ''most'' of her battalion after taking on Caleb Dume as her padawan are new to the field, however, CT-1157 gets the most characterization and frequently lampshades the fact that the older officers are treating him as an untested newbie.

| 1236 | * FaceHeelTurn: He is one of the first and few instances of a clone traitor. |
| 1237 | * AFatherToHisMen: Subverted. He seems to genuinely care for the men in his squad and Rex and Cody accurately predict he'll take the news that one is a traitor hard. When they tell him, he initially tries to insulate his men from the questioning and requests a little time to talk it over with them in private. However, once Chopper reveals he's violated some clone rules, Slick immediately starts trying to pin the treachery on him, suggesting his motivation was less concern for his squad and more an attempt at damage control. |
| 1238 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He claims to have worked for all of the clones' freedom, yet as Rex points out his actions put the lives of his brothers at risk. |
| 1239 | * HypocriteHasAPoint: While his actions completely undermine the attempt, he ''is'' right about the clones being expendable soldiers, bred only for that purpose, with no choice what to make of their lives. |
| 1240 | * TheMole: He was hired by the Separatists to sabotage the Republic during the Battle of Christophsis. |
| 1241 | * PutOnAPrisonBus: He is last seen being taken into custody, with no further word on his fate. However, as ''Scum and Villainy'' revealed that clones don't get due process and Slick committed treason (it's noted that Mace Windu had to negotiate to get Boba Fett a lighter sentence in the form of ''prison time''), things don't look good for him. |

| 1244 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Debated. The reason he gives for betraying the Republic was because he felt that they were enslaving the clones and his selling information to the Separatists was him striking a blow for clone freedom. However, Rex isn't buying it and points out the primary victims of Slick's betrayal were his fellow clones and guesses Slick's motivation was being well paid for his treason. |

Shortly after, the clones were infected by Geonosian brain worms and attempted to infect Padawans Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano aboard a Republic frigate on a supply drop to a medical station near Ord Cestus. However, the spread of the infection was halted by Ahsoka and there were few casualties. |

| 1261 | * BittersweetEnding: Ahsoka and Barriss are careful enough to not hurt them once they realize [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brain worms]] are involved, but only after they kill at least one, and possibly up to three, clones in self-defense. Two clone pilots were also killed by the infected clones to hijack the ship. |
| 1262 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: They get controlled by Geonosian brain worms. [[NightmareFuel It's... not fun to watch]]. |

And of course, "Tango" is the equivalent of T in the [[MilitaryAlphabet NATO Alphabet]] and is shorthand for ''enemy''. |

| 1290 | 99 was a deformed clone who works as a janitor on Kamino. He befriended Domino Squad during their training, became an honorary member after they pass, and helped to defend the planet when the Confederacy invades. |
| 1291 | ---- |
| 1292 | * AlmightyJanitor: Averted in that he really is just a janitor and has no leverage or authority. However, played somewhat straight in that his far greater than average knowledge of the cloning facility makes him incredibly helpful in the battle for the facility. |
| 1293 | * CloneDegeneration: It's implied this is the reason for his malformity, even by the standards of the usual genetic modifications. According to Lama Su, the death of the original gene donor, Jango Fett, has forced the Kaminoans to thin out the remaining DNA samples, possibly resulting in 99 being conceived after Jango's death and aging a lot faster than the other clones who were grown nearly 10 years earlier. |
| 1294 | * CoolOldGuy: He appears very elderly, possibly due to his aging being even more accelerated than other clones. |
| 1295 | * HonoraryTrueCompanion: After Domino Squad finally passes the Citadel training course, Hevy makes him an honorary member of the squad for convincing him not to turn his back on his squad mates and realize his true potential. After he dies during the Battle of Kamino, Rex, Cody, Fives, Echo, and the rest of the clone troopers acknowledge him as a true clone trooper in the Grand Army for doing everything he could during the battle. The official designation of The Bad Batch is "Clone Force 99" in his honor. |
| 1296 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: During the Battle of Kamino, 99 is quick to help however he can and seems determined to finally contribute to a battle like he was meant to do. Sadly, this makes him take unnecessary risks that end up getting him killed. |
| 1297 | * InspirationallyDisadvantaged: He's one of the friendliest clones featured in ''The Clone Wars'' and he doesn't seem to suffer any grief about being unable to serve on the front lines. When Hevy tries to go AWOL in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E1CloneCadets Clone Cadets]]", he convinces Hevy to change his mind about abandoning his seemingly defective squad by reminding him that unlike him, 99 was never even given the chance to prove himself. When the Separatists come to Kamino, he is willing to do everything in his power to defend his home (namely supplying weapons and ammo and providing tactical information about Tipoca City's layout) and his death is ultimately mourned by his brothers. |
| 1298 | * InTheBack: He dies when a Battle Droid shoots his back while he's running to get more grenades. |
| 1299 | * NiceGuy: He is one of the nicest clones introduced, never mocking or insulting anyone else, even teasingly, which most of the other clones do. Instead he simply tries to give them advice if they will listen to him. |
| 1300 | * NonActionGuy: He was relegated to being a maintenance clone due to his deformity and being physically unfit for combat. However, this doesn't stop him from trying to help out his brothers during the Battle of Kamino. |
| 1301 | * RapidAging: While the clones are already known for this, 99’s defective status has accelerated his aging even further, making him elderly-looking when his clone brothers are (physically) in their 20s-30s, despite being the same age as them. |
| 1302 | * SenselessSacrifice: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E2ARCTroopers ARC Troopers]]", 99 ends up dying in an attempt to get more grenades. While it's certainly heroic that he was willing to try, that hallway was a deathtrap a Jedi would have had trouble running. His death ultimately accomplished nothing, though his life certainly mattered. |
| 1303 | * TragicKeepsake: Hevy gives him his graduation medal as thanks for inspiring him enough to pull Domino Squad through the final exam. He continues to hold onto it even after he learns Hevy was killed in action on Rishi. |
| 1304 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Given that he's told to be one of the clones to be made ''after'' Jango's death, he's less than three years old by the time of his death. |

| 1317 | * AccuserOfTheBrethren: The main Clone among Rex's rebel faction to not trust [[spoiler:Crosshair]] even after his defection. [[spoiler:Given their history, this is somewhat understandable,]] but he gradually changes his tune and learns to trust him after seeing he has obviously [[CharacterDevelopment changed for the better.]] |
| 1318 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Distinctly averted. Contrary to most clones, Howzer doesn't demonstrate the typical signs of Order 66 brainwashing from his inhibitor chip. He retains his armor customization and is much more approachable than clones still under the influence of the chip. He may be one of the lucky few not to be influenced by it, at least not to the degree most clones are. Alternatively, his brainwashing may simply have worn off faster than most, as the clones begin demonstrating their initial independence more often in season 2, most notably with Cody. |

| 1320 | * GoodCounterpart: To Captain Wilco, another Clone Stormtrooper captain. Both are stationed on planets during the rise of the Empire, both lead detachments of Clone Stormtroopers, both show their faces more than any other Imperial-aligned clone, and both care about the men they lead. While Wilco has his usual armor with a black pauldron and remains loyal to the Empire, Howzer still wears his custom armor and disowns his allegiance to the Empire, even inspiring some of his men to follow suit. |

| 1323 | * TheLancer: He becomes one to Rex and Chuchi after joining their clone network, having a harsher mindset towards their enemies than the more merciful Rex. |
| 1324 | * PrematurelyGreyHaired: His hair is starting to turn grey, and even accounting for the accelerated aging of the clones, Howzer would not be old enough for that to be normal. |
| 1325 | * PunchClockVillain: Howzer isn't a bad person, with his only villainous quality being a soldier for the Empire. [[spoiler:He abandons the villain part altogether when he realizes the Empire doesn't have the interests of Ryloth in mind.]] |
| 1326 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's a soldier of the Empire, but he's still reasonable enough to let Hera off the hook when she's caught sneaking around in a restricted area. |

| 1330 | * StillWearingTheOldColors: Unlike most of the other clones, Howzer's armor is still custom painted in his unit colors. |
| 1331 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: Howzer truly believes in helping and liberating the people of Ryloth from tyranny, but he feels the need to uphold the Empire's orders to ensure that the planet doesn't collapse into anarchy and war again. However, he finds himself in conflict with his Imperial superiors as they begin to do more and more questionable actions that goes against everything he believed in. [[spoiler:He decides to help Cham's forces and the Bad Batch escape Ryloth and openly defy against the Empire, preferring to be a good man arrested over a lawful soldier oppressing the people they sought to liberate]]. |

Howzer retains some of his individuality and morals, shares a good friendship with Cham, covers for Hera when he catches her in a restricted area, and is hesitant to carry out some of his more unethical orders, vocally protesting Hera's arrest as she is only a child. |

| 1343 | ---- |
| 1344 | * ArcVillain: For the two-part premiere of ''The Bad Batch'', Season 2. He's in charge of getting Dooku's war chest off the planet and into the Empire's coffers to help fund their various projects (i.e., the Death Star), and is the primary obstacle to Clone Force 99's operation to steal a portion of the treasure. |
| 1345 | * TheBadGuyWins: He successfully wards off Clone Force 99's attempt to steal Dooku's war chest and is well on his way to recovering the containers scattered in the heist. He doesn't get to enjoy it, however, as he's murdered by Rampart when he refuses to falsify his report regarding the Batch's survival. |
| 1346 | * EvilCounterpart: To Howzer. Both are Clone Stormtrooper captains stationed on planets during the rise of the Empire and both care for the Clones under their command. While Howzer feels the need to uphold the Empire's orders to keep the peace, but eventually defies the Empire after questioning their actions and is even rescued by Rex's [[UndergroundRailroad Clone Resistance Network]] while becoming a part of them, Wilco remains on the Empire's side right until he is killed by Admiral Rampart for refusing to falsify an official report. |
| 1347 | * AFatherToHisMen: Just like Howzer, he cares deeply for the men under his command, checking up on any Clones that were injured by Wrecker's rampage. |
| 1348 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: The reason why Rampart murders him. After confirming a sighting of Clone Force 99, revealing they'd survived the destruction of Tipoca City. Since Rampart had already informed Tarkin of their demise, he's unwilling to risk his own career by divulging the truth and orders Wilco to doctor the report, void of any mention of the Batch. Wilco refuses, so Rampart kills him to submit the report himself. |
| 1349 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Just like Howzer, he shows his face more than other Imperial-aligned Clones. While he's not a good guy, he does show admirable traits such as loyalty and personal integrity. |
| 1350 | * {{Irony}}: In other circumstances, Wilco would be prime proof of how valuable the clones could be to the Empire: he's extremely competent, able and perceptive - while the Bad Batch escape him it's by the skin of their teeth, and he forces them to abandon their goal to do so, something few antagonists have accomplished - and is unflinchingly loyal, exactly what Rampart claimed to want. However, he's also proof of how expendable Imperials see them no matter how worthy they are: in the end, he's killed not for being disloyal, but for simply being ''so'' loyal that it inconveniences Rampart's personal ambitions. |
| 1351 | * MeaningfulName: “Wilco” is radio shorthand for “will comply,” and he was complicit with the Empire’s orders right up until he’s killed by Rampart for refusing to falsify an official report. |
| 1352 | * MookLieutenant: He's the commanding officer directing the Clone division on Serenno, with his rank being indicated by his captain's pauldron. |

| 1379 | * MeaningfulName: Slip's name likely pertains to his narrow escape from Clone X the first time (giving the slip); alternatively, it may also pertain to his [[SanitySlippage paranoia]] in light of Cade's assassination . |
| 1380 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Like Cade, he also harbors guilt over his complicity in Tipoca City's destruction, though he was concerned that trying to expose Rampart was too dangerous given his knowledge of the officer's hatred and cruelty towards clones. |
| 1381 | * ProperlyParanoid: His concerns over Rampart are well-founded since the admiral sends Clone X to eliminate both him and Cade. |
| 1382 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Helps make up for his participation in Kamino's destruction and initial reluctance to expose it by giving Senator Chuchi a lead to access information about it and Rampart's other activities, an act that gets him killed by Clone X. |
| 1383 | %%* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: |
| 1384 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Appears in only one episode, but his actions help bring Admiral Rampart down and clue in the Clone Underground into the existance of the CX troopers. |

| 1391 | %%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]] |

| 1393 | |
| 1394 | -->''"We're good soldiers. We followed orders. And for what?"'' |
| 1395 | |
| 1396 | Mayday was a Clone Stormtrooper Commander stationed on Barton-4 during the rise of the Empire, tasked with guarding cargo at an Imperial outpost. |
| 1397 | ---- |
| 1398 | * BuriedAlive: Ends up buried in an avalanche. Crosshair rescues him and carries him back to base [[spoiler:but he dies from exposure.]] |
| 1399 | * DeadpanSnarker: Rarely passes on an opportunity to deliver some jabs at Nolan or (to a lesser extent) Crosshair. |
| 1400 | * DemolitionsExpert: {{Downplayed}}, he's not trained in explosives by any means, but he's had enough experience to know how to disarm a pressure mine. He's still inexperienced enough to tell Crosshair to keep his foot on the mine until [[BlackComedy after he's cleared the potential blast radius.]] |
| 1401 | -->'''Mayday''': I'll wait around the bend. If I don't hear a boom, then I'll know it worked.\ |
| 1402 | '''Crosshair''': Glad you're confident in your work.\ |
| 1403 | '''Mayday''': Oh, I'm confident. I'm just not stupid. |
| 1404 | * ExpendableClone: Realises this is how the Empire sees his brothers when he and Crosshair [[spoiler:discover they've been guarding and retrieving TK gear that could have replaced their own rundown equipment. Further enforced by Nolan when he refuses to give Mayday medical attention when returning to base, leaving him to die.]] |
| 1405 | * AFatherToHisMen: Cared greatly for the men under his command that he is visibly saddened when adding Hexx and Veetch's helmets to [[HeadgearHeadstone those of the deceased]]. |
| 1406 | * {{Irony}}: Fairly cruel situational irony, at that. Mayday and his troopers are reduced to cannibalizing their armor and weapons, as well as covering themselves with cloth to keep their deteriorating gear functioning. [[spoiler:All the while, they're guarding the exact kind of modern equipment that could have saved them all. He bitterly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this when he finds out.]] |
| 1407 | * IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:After Crosshair digs Mayday out of the snow, the commander tells Crosshair to leave him behind so he won't get slowed down. Ironically enough, it's probable that Crosshair would have died if he hadn't brought Mayday along to huddle with in the cold.]] |
| 1408 | * MeaningfulName: His name, "Mayday," is typically used when there's a signal distress usually involving life-and-death emergencies. [[spoiler:He is intentionally named as such to foreshadow his death, which came about due to a life-threatening avalanche and exposure to the snow.]] |
| 1409 | * ScarredEquipment: His armour is not only visibly worn out, but heavily wrapped in cloth. [[spoiler:It contrasts sharply with the brand-new armor he and his men are guarding.]] |
| 1410 | * SeriouslyScruffy: By the time Crosshair and Nolan find him, Mayday's grown a mean beard (as well as his hair) which, combined with the state of his armor, the evident lack of supplies, as well as having lost all but two of his men, shows how badly the outpost has fallen into disrepair. |
| 1411 | * ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:His friendship and pointless death, combined with Nolan's callousness and bigotry, cause Crosshair to undergo a HeelRealization.]] |
| 1412 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: A one episode character who befriends Crosshair despite being a reg and [[spoiler:whose death finally shows Crosshair just how little the Empire he sacrificed everything for cares about him.]] |
| 1413 | * SoleSurvivor: After his two remaining soldiers Hexx and Veetch are killed, Mayday becomes the last of Barton-4’s Jango Fett clone battalion. [[spoiler:And he doesn’t survive for that much longer, either.]] |

| 1448 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Just like with the other Clone Troopers, when Order 66 goes live. |
| 1449 | * PetTheDog: Unusually for a Clone Trooper brainwashed by his inhibitor chip, he merely arrests Iskat Akaris instead of shooting her on sight like his men did with Sunghi Silpari when Order 66 went live. [[spoiler:It's because Palpatine wants Iskat to join the new Empire to learn what happened to her mother Feyra.]] |
| 1450 | * WhatTheHellHero: Spider chews out Iskat for a reckless strategy of blowing up the droid factory on Thule and getting 14 of his men killed. |
