* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Batch 99 may be elite soldiers more than capable of working as mercenaries, but they have no experience with the real world and the costs associated with not living on a Republic military budget. Jedi and Clone Troopers never really had to deal with things like that during the 7 seasons of ''The Clone Wars''.

* ProperlyParanoid: Once he learns that the Batch hasn't removed their inhibitor chips and Wrecker is experiencing suspicious headaches, Rex is instantly cautious and arranges for all four (Omega was never given one) to undergo the procedure as soon as possible. If he hadn't shown up when he did, the team would have been blindsided by Wrecker's eventual turn.

* AndIMustScream: How being under the control of the chip feels. After he's freed from the influence of the chip, Wrecker reveals that he was fully conscious of the chip's control and what it was making him do, but was completely powerless in fighting it (just like Rex in ''The Clone Wars'' episode, "Shattered"). He says he desperately tried to stop himself from hurting his loved ones, but was ForcedToWatch himself trying to kill his brothers and Omega.

* FightingFromTheInside: Wrecker ''tries''. But the chip's influence is so powerful he's helpless to do anything. The only detectable hint of his efforts is when he struggles a bit to deliver the words [[MadnessMantra "Good soldiers follow orders"]]; his voice is a shaky stammer when he gets to the word "follow".
