* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The end of ''The Bad Batch'' has him continue to help Rex while the rest of his squad enters retirement. However, this begs the question as to where he was afterwards, as he wasn't with Rex during retirement by the time of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', nor did Rex think to invite him during that series' finale.

bit of a stretch, more likely he just didn't have the oppotunity to change


* CostumeEvolution: He goes from training gear to standard clone armor, then to a custom 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] legion clone armor, then to ARC trooper gear, then a forced WetwareCPU, then to a new suit, and finally that same suit in Bad Batch colors, signifying his growth (and trauma). By the end of the series, he ends up keeping the armor he stole off of the TK-Stormtrooper he took out while stowing away on the science vessel headed for Tantiss.

* InsistentTerminology: Even though they are commandos, they're [=CT99'=]s, not CC's. They had to correct Gregor who thought they were CC's like he is. Because the Bad Batch doesn't like Regs, they always set themselves apart from them. Clone Commandos are special forces, they're technically still Regs since they lack mutations unlike the Bad Batch.

nothing about her as an adult confirms she is cisgender - she could have had affirming surgeries at any point


* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Despite being a clone of male Jango Fett, she's assumed to be an OppositeSexClone as she presents and identifies as female and is identified on sight as an enhanced clone, same as the Bad Batch. However, Prime Minister Lama Su later refers to her as an "unaltered clone" bringing up the very real possibility that she was genetically male at her creation like the only other known unaltered clone, Boba Fett, but is transgender or intersex. The ambiguity comes from the context of the conversation, as the alterations being referred to were specifically those related to the viability of Omega as a template for future clones (lacking RapidAging as well as the biological and mental conditioning to make the Clone Troopers obedient and docile). The lack of clarity of the Prime Minister's meaning behind "unaltered" leaves the door open for either interpretation. Further possibilities are opened by the existence of [[spoiler: Emerie Karr, another female clone]], and when we see her as an adult, the design choice says that [[spoiler: she's almost certainly a cisgender woman]].

** Is revealed to be this for Nala Se. While viewing all clones as mere "property" and tools to be used for Kamino's advantage, she appears to have a soft spot for Omega. Even Lama Su comments that Nala Se has gotten quite attached to Omega.

When learning the Bad Batch has taken her in, Nala Se comments that as long as Omega is kept away from Lama Su, she will be safe.
