The cavalry has arrived! note 

Wrecker: Hey there, readers! Welcome to our self-demonstrating page! I'm Wrecker, a member of Clone Force 99! But you can call us, "The Bad Batch!"

Hunter: Easy, Wrecker. No need to get too excited. We all knew this day would come.

Tech: I agree. I have calculated many possibilities of us getting our own page and for a while, it was highly impossible, given how many we are. So, this is a surprise for sure. I mean, after reading several other pages around TV Tropes, there are only one or two characters who were introduced in their page.

Echo: Just roll with it, Tech. I'm sure we'll figure it out together. Right, Crosshair?

Crosshair: Whatever, just do what you want, I'm not interfering.

Wrecker: All right!

Omega: Hey! Don't forget me!


Here you go, readers! This is everything we can give to you about us. Don't worry though, the rest of us will write our names so all of you can know who's presenting the description. (Wrecker)


  • Angst? What Angst?: If you are asking on my reaction about Fives, you can say that I am in denial or it's perfectly common to me. You see, we are all soldiers by the end of the day, and losing our brothers in the battlefield has become sadly associated by all of us. (Echo)
  • The Baby of the Bunch: I am not a baby! But I guess that's what happens when I'm with the Bad Batch. Being the youngest isn't that good or being a MacGuffin. (Omega)
  • Badass Crew: You bet we are! We've fought hundreds of battle droids together, and we'll fight a hundred more just to prove ourselves! (Wrecker).
  • Badass Decay: Sadly, when we earned our own series, there are many who accused us to be less powerful and cool than we are in the Clone Wars ranging from Wrecker being hurt so many times, Crosshair turning evil, Omega being captured by the bounty hunters, and Hunter struggling to catch up on the rapid changing galaxy. (Echo)
  • Boisterous Bruiser: I destroy things, and I'm loud when I do it! (Wrecker)
  • Breakout Character: If you put it that way, yes. We originally have four major appearance in the original Clone Wars series, but then, many adored us for being so unique that a man named Dave Filoni gave us our own TV show. (Tech)
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: After Order 66 was carried out, we learned that the clones, ourselves included, have a chip implanted in our brain that compels us to follow orders without question. Sadly, it took Crosshair and it took over Wrecker too until Captain Rex intervened. Thankfully, all of us (minus Crosshair and Omega) are all chip-free. Though, upon retrieving Hunter on Kamino, we learned that everything Crosshair did against us was of his own volition and he had his chip removed a long time ago. Disheartening, yes, but unfortunately, not unexpected given Crosshair's demeanor and all. (Tech)
  • Cold Sniper: Correct. I never miss a shot, and I know emotion is a weakness. It's why I'm the only one of us who saw our only future is with the empire. (Crosshairs)
  • Cool Ship: Our ship the Havoc Marauder is a special ship. It allow us to hide from our enemies, including the Empire. (Tech)
  • Cursed with Awesome: Being turned into a cyborg and used against the Republic was terrible for me — but ever since being rescued, I've been able to use my "upgrades" to help our missions succeed. I also proved immune to the brainwashing effects of Order 66. (Echo)
  • Everyone's Baby Sister: I've got four big brothers looking out for me. (Omega)
  • Expy: Some people have indeed compared us to Delta Squad, another group of clone commandos. But we are very different — not only do we each have different physical traits, bar Crosshair, we didn't stay with the Empire. We also have some similarities to the Null ARC Troopers, as they too were born with defects and were used as a squad of super soldiers. (Tech)
  • Fantastic Slur: We call the other clones "Regs" because they're all the same to us. (Crosshair)
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: All I wanted was my brothers to join me in the Empire. They wouldn't budge. Even though I couldn't stand being around them, I couldn't just leave any of them for dead, not even the kid. I remained firm in staying with the Empire, but with the kid telling me that I'll always be part of their family and their brother, now I'm not so sure of what I should do next... (Crosshair)
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: Once I have my target in my sights, there's no way they'll be left standing once I squeeze the trigger. (Crosshair)
  • Incoming Ham: Of course I'm gonna announce our arrival! THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED! (Wrecker)
  • Sixth Ranger: I joined the batch following my last mission with Rex. I was honored to have fulfilled my service as part of his team but I feel like the batch is where I belong. (Echo)
  • Super-Intelligence: I indeed have enhanced intelligence beyond a regular clone. This makes me the "brains" of our operation, and I do much of our work with tactics and technology, though the manual aspects of the latter are better suited for Echo. (Tech)
  • Super-Senses:
    • I have enhanced tracking stills. That's where I got my name, ya know? (Hunter)
    • My vision has also been enhanced. It's what makes me such a deadly sniper.(Crosshairs)
  • Super-Strength: Hell yeah! No one's stronger than me! (Wrecker)
  • Tagalong Kid: Hey, c'mon! Well, maybe I was this at the start, but I proved my usefulness soon enough, right? (Omega).
  • Tears of Joy: Best day of my life. Three Separatist Dreadnoughts, one explosion. I still get a little teary-eyed just thinkin' about it... (Wrecker)
  • Technopath: Being used as a meat computer by the Techno Union was absolute hell. But at least there's a bright side: it gave me the power to control and interface with machines using my mechanical arm (Echo).
  • Trademark Favorite Food:
    Omega: Mantell Mix!
    Wrecker: Best part of the mission!

Crosshair: Good soldiers follow orders...

Hunter: Oh, no...

Wrecker: Hurry, to the ship!

(After escaping the brainwashed Crosshair)

Hunter: Now, what do we do? Obviously we can't go back to Kamino to rescue Crosshair.

Omega: Then, I guess we'll have to lay low and find our way through the galaxy together.

Wrecker: She's right! Don't worry Crosshair, we'll get you back! Now, to the next adventure!
