The Bad Batch as Penguins of Madagascar Quotes

Bc I’ve seen a few posts making this magnificent comparison and both of these squads are near and dear to my heart and bc I need a distraction from the s3 premiere ahhh

Tech: *mission relevant info* Hunter: Tell me something I don’t know! Tech: Without mucus your stomach would digest itself Hunter: … Hunter: Tell me something else I don’t know…something less disturbing

Hunter: (to Caleb) It's okay, kid. We're not going to hurt you Crosshair: *cocks his gun* Not true, Hunter, they did authorize lethal force

Wrecker: *absolutely decking his bros* You pillow fight like a bunch of little girls!

Crosshair: What part of "zip it" eludes you?! The "zip" or the "it"?!

Echo: I don't mind saying it, that guy vexes me. *narrows eyes* He's a vexer.

Hunter: Boys, no training tonight. It's game night! Tech: Trivia! Let's play trivia! I dominate trivia! Omega: Oh! Can we play Simon Says this week? Tech: Yes, Simon says we play TRIVIA!!

Crosshair: I find reason tedious and boring. We'll use force.

Echo: I'm sorry, boys. I sometimes resort to sarcasm when facing the unknown Tech: No doubt

Hunter: Oh I’ve seen accident prone, try Wrecker and Crosshair! With a Chandrilan lantern! And SIX BOTTLES of rocket fuel!! Tech: Worst talent show ever

Hunter: There's no such thing as too paranoid, Omega. Remember that, and forget you ever heard it!

Tech: SCIENCE! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?!?

Omega: I have an idea! But I'm not sure how safe it is Wrecker: I like it already!

Crosshair: *while fighting* You cannot win, Hunter! I am fueled with a boiling hate! A raging fury! Hunter: And a babbling mouth! *slaps him*

Omega: No! I swore I’d never use my adorability as a weapon again, and I meant it!

Echo: Wrecker, cover Omega’s ears, I intend to use my angry words

Tech: This red line shows the frustration level of a really smart person forced to take orders from some dunder-brained boob. As you can see the frustration just keeps rising and rising and rising. I mean, why don't they put the smart guy in charge, huh? IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE! SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE, PEOPLE! AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS?!

Wrecker and Omega: *run in making incomprehensible panicked noises* Hunter: Anyone catch that? Echo: *nonchalantly interprets it exactly* The Batch: … Echo: What? I’m fluent in panic

Tech: Cool cars go faster. That's a scientific fact.

Cody, in his one episode: I believe now I know why “volunteers” ends in “tears”

Hunter: No batcher gets left behind, that’s why! Wrecker: What about Crosshair? Hunter: Okay, one batcher gets left behind Omega: and Echo? Hunter: Maybe two batchers get left behind Tech: Um… Hunter: *groan* Comparatively few batchers get left behind, okay?!

Omega: I thought you agreed this was a dangerous weapon! Wrecker: Which is the best kind! What good is a safe weapon?! Tech: He has a point

Hunter: Avert your eyes, young Omega, you’ll never be able to unsee this! Tech, recording bc that’s his freaking hobby: Don’t worry about it I’ll burn you a dvd!

Crosshair: *standing outside the Marauder* Hunter! I have brought you a hand drawn greeting card! It says “Roses are red. Posies are green. Sorry about Bracca, I was too mean. Your pal, Crosshair” :) Hunter: *walks out and shreds the card*

Hunter: Get up here. That’s an order! Tech: *salutes* Permission to defy order? Hunter: Permission denied! Tech: Then I deny your denial (sorry)

Echo: *watching Hunter and Wrecker, captured and surrounded by stormtroopers* Well this hardly seems fair Echo: *jumps in a walker and defeats them easily* Told you it wasn't fair

*Phee and Tech kiss* Omega: *eyes being covered by Hunter* awww Wrecker: Finally!

I watch the Bad Batch not only in my native language, but also in the original, in English. And I consider her the best! No offense to the Russian voiceovers :)

And now I want to present a small collection of quotes that, in my opinion, are best voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. Let's enjoy our wonderful maestro, the voice of the clones!

The Bad Batch Finale Spoilers Below

You have been warned!

Part 4/? of my The Bad Batch series finale thoughts

Final warning! If you care about spoilers for the series finale of the bad batch...Scroll away!!

I was so happy about the zillo beast’s roll in the whole ordeal!

also um..

Holy fucking shit Echo and Omega my loves!!!

Echo immediately recognizing that the zillo's escape was Omega's doing?! yeah I cried.

I cried even more when he said that the reason he knew it was her was because it was exactly what he would've done.

and then when the others outside were like Echo?..or Omega? I somehow lost it even more!

it's the nerds turn!! 🤓 these outfits are 100% copied from Sims 4 LOL. I realized after I'd finished Tech that I actually drew him in his work clothes, not his typical casual wear 😅 and Echo of course is super comfy and warm all the time 😊

I'm not sure who to draw next (I'm leaning Phee and Rex maybe??). we'll see what strikes my fancy, I guess 😁

TBB Headcanon: Crosshair Gave Omega Her Iconic Jacket from the Epilogue

Shameless Plug: This is tangentially related to my ongoing fic "Crosshair Accepts a (Helping) Hand." You don't need to read my fic to understand this post, but obviously, I hope you check it out once you're finished here...

Regarding this headcanon, it's quite possible I'm not the first person to share this. It's something I've wondered about since the TBB finale aired, and I know others have thoroughly discussed all of Adult Omega's possessions in the epilogue to see if there's any other connections or deeper meaning we might’ve missed on first viewing.

But, after the new Bad Batch comic "Ghost Agents" released a few weeks ago, I feel like my headcanon is all but confirmed.

So, let's recap:

In The Bad Batch series finale "The Cavalry Has Arrived," we get an epilogue where Omega leaves Pabu to join the Rebellion. She has a beautiful and tear-jerking scene where she bids farewell to a 50yo Hunter, and then flies off into the stars.

As people pointed out shortly after the finale aired, Omega has items representing each of her brothers, except Echo.

(If Echo is still alive at this point in the timeline, he's likely WITH the Rebellion. So, Omega doesn't really need any keepsake of his, because she's going to JOIN him.)

She is wearing a red bandana that may have been the same one Hunter wore earlier in the series. Or it's a new one that's at least reminiscent of Hunter's from S1-2. (She's also wearing a necklace that is the same one — or at least similar to one — Hunter has in S1 according to BTS artwork.)

She has Tech's goggles on the dashboard of her ship.

Wrecker's Lula is seen aboard her ship as well.

And she has Crosshair's ....... bag?

While the items representing the other three brothers are obvious, Crosshair's is not.

Thus, some fans — myself included — figured that Crosshair was supposed to be represented by the bag that Adult Omega has. It looks nearly identical to the one she uses in S3, except that it now has a shoulder strap.

So, before I share my alternative, let's quickly examine this possibility:

Is Omega's bag supposed to represent Crosshair?

Omega first gets her bag in 3.04 "A Different Approach," when she and Crosshair are trying to blend in on Lau. She steals the bag from an alleyway and uses it to carry the credits she wins at the cantina.

I want to point out that Omega is the one who picks out the bag in the episode.

When she decides to go back for Batcher, she throws it at Crosshair, telling him to take the credits and leave.

He, of course, finds her and returns the bag and credits.

She then surrenders the bag and credits to the Imperial officer when they get caught trying to free Batcher. Crosshair then recovers the bag and tosses it onto one of the empty seats as he and Omega fly away from Lau.

The bag doesn't reappear until 3.05, when Omega uses it to store the Nala Se’s datapad when the Bad Batch visit Barton IV.

We see it again in 3.11, when she and Lyana place Tech's goggles and Wrecker's Lula in the Archium. She then places it atop the crates Crosshair and Hunter are pushing through the colonnade when the Marauder explodes.

I want to point out that, between the Marauder exploding and Omega's abduction, the bag is one of Omega's only possessions that survives Season 3.

Anything she had on her when she was taken to Tantiss was confiscated; and anything she had on the Marauder was likely destroyed or at least severely damaged.

Thus, it makes sense that Omega might find the bag on Pabu — perhaps where she left it in the colonnade — when she returns in the series finale, and she keeps the bag for the next several years.

The bag would no doubt be an important keepsake for Omega as one of the few items that survived the events of the series. Plus, once she added a shoulder strap, it'd be very functional and handy.

I don't have a problem with Adult Omega having this bag or one like it in the finale.

My problem is with the idea that the bag represents Crosshair.

Unlike the bandana, the goggles or Lula, the bag is not significant to Crosshair.

Hunter's bandana is iconic — one of the things that immediately sets him apart from a “standard” clone.

Tech's goggles are equally iconic for the same reason, and were probably the only item he used that survived both his death and the Marauder's explosion.

Lula was likely Wrecker's most prized possession during the Clone Wars, as he panicked when he couldn't find it on Kamino in the TBB series premiere.

Meanwhile, Crosshair does have some association with the bag, but it is flimsy and impersonal.

Unlike the other three items, Crosshair never owned the bag and then gave it to Omega. He did not pick the bag out for her — she swiped it herself. He handled it twice and promptly returned it to Omega both times. In fact, none of the characters in the episode focus on the bag so much as the credits inside the bag.

Additionally, Omega's 30,000 credits are never brought up again after 3.04, despite Crosshair going out of his way to retrieve them/the bag during the shootout at the cargo dock.

So, because of that, it's quite possible that the showrunners intended for the bag to represent Crosshair in the epilogue.

It's an item associated with him and Omega, and Omega wouldn't have it if not for Crosshair. I mean: Why put so much focus on him retrieving the bag/credits, if the credits were never brought up again in the show?

However, like I said, I take issue with that idea.

I have no problem with Omega still using the same bag after all these years. I just don't think it should be the item that represents 'taking Crosshair with her,' the same way the bandana, the goggles and Lula represent her 'taking' her other brothers with her.

Granted, I latched onto the 'bag represents Crosshair' idea before because we really didn't have a clear alternative.

But that all changed with the new "Ghost Agents" comic...

Crosshair, Omega & the Leather Jacket(s)

In "Ghost Agents" Vol. 1, the Bad Batch is tasked with finding a thief that stole valuable information from the Republic. To find their thief, the Bad Batch dons civilian attire and goes down to the Coruscant underworld to get information.

Hunter wears a tank top, a scarf around his neck and bandages around his arms. Wrecker wears a long-sleeve top with pronounced cuffs. Tech appears to wear a long-sleeve shirt as well, although it's hard to tell because we don't get many panels of him in this sequence.

But Crosshair wears a jacket!

And it appears to be a leather flight jacket!

In "The Bad Batch" series, we don't get many instances of the male clones wearing true civilian clothes:

Along with Cut in his farmer attire, we see Hunter in a shirt and Wrecker in a poncho in 1.02 “Cut and Run”;

Echo wears his droid-like disguise in 1.04 “Cornered”; and

Crosshair wears his ugly onesie with a baseball cap and toilet seat in 3.04 “A Different Approach.”

The rest of the time, the male clones wear military armor/uniforms, some version of military fatigues, or prison uniforms. Even Emerie only wears a medical uniform during the series.

I realize that in "The Bad Batch" series, the characters didn't have many options when it came to civilian attire/disguises.

But, in "Ghost Agents," they presumably had a little more time and resources at their disposal to put their disguises together. I mean, Hunter wrapped his arms in bandages for crying out loud! (And, believe me, I'm not complaining. He served with that look!)

So, presumably Crosshair picked out his jacket himself. It was something that fit with his character and his fashion sense.

That means that, in the entire TBB section of the Star Wars universe, the only two clones we've ever seen wear jackets are Crosshair and Omega.

That can't be a coincidence.

(Note, it's quite possible that other clones wear jackets in TCW series or in other Clone Wars/Rebels comics, but I'm not counting those. I'm only looking at the TBB arc in the TCW show, the TBB comics and the TBB show itself.)

The fact that both the jackets we see are leather (or at least part-leather) flight jackets can't be a coincidence either.

So, it makes more sense and feels more significant if Adult Omega's jacket — not her bag — is supposed to represent Crosshair!

My headcanon:

Unlike Tech's goggles or Wrecker's Lula, I doubt Crosshair owned the jacket first.

It's quite possible that Crosshair either made the jacket for Omega or picked it out for her.

Or, perhaps Omega picked it out herself, but Crosshair either helped her do so or altered it for her.

We see in one shot that it has a CF99 patch sown onto the shoulder. So, either it was custom-made by/for Omega OR it was altered at some point.

I'm fine with the idea that either Crosshair picked it out for her or that he altered it for her.

I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened with Omega's bandana.

I doubt that's the same bandana Hunter had in S1-2. We see him wearing a thinner, darker one in S3. So, either he lost his original bandana or it was on the Marauder when it exploded. Either way, it probably didn't survive the events of S3.

Plus, the one Omega's wearing doesn't have the CF99 skull on it either, so I'm guessing it's a different bandana than Hunter’s from S1-2.

Perhaps the one she has in the epilogue is one she and/or Hunter found on Pabu, and Omega decided to get it — or he gave it to her — so she could wear it in his honor.

So, why couldn't the jacket work the same way but for Crosshair? Either he picked it out for her or he sewed the patch on for her?

Either way, it would represent him as she sets off on her new adventure.

And her badass flight jacket would be far more significant than a dumb bag he inadvertently retrieved for her one time several years prior. 3.04 is the only time Crosshair handles the bag or is associated with it. The rest of the time, it is in Omega's possession.

Again, it is her bag.

It wasn't something he picked out for her; it wasn't something he already owned and gave to her; and it wasn't a duplicate of an iconic part of his wardrobe.

So, yes, I'm much more inclined to believe the jacket is supposed to represent Crosshair, not the bag.

TL;DR

Unlike his brothers, Crosshair is not obviously and/or significantly represented by any of Omega's possessions in the TBB epilogue.

While some people might posit that Adult Omega's bag represents Crosshair — because it's likely the same bag the two of them had on Lau in 3.04 — that bag wasn't significant enough to Crosshair individually, unlike the items that represent his brothers.

Crosshair and Omega are the only two clones in the TBB show/comics we see wearing jackets.

Both of the jackets we see them wearing are specifically leather flight jackets.

Omega's jacket was either custom-made or altered for her, as it has a CF99 patch on the shoulder.

Anyway, feel free to reblog or comment with your thoughts. I could be totally wrong about this. Like I said, it's quite likely the showrunners wanted the bag to represent Crosshair. Why else would they focus on him retrieving it in 3.04 if the credits never came up again? Why else ensure the bag survives the Marauder explosion in 3.11?

BUT with the "Ghost Agents" connection, I now feel like the jacket is Crosshair's true representation as Omega leaves Pabu for the Rebellion.

That's my headcanon and the TPTB can pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Again, check out the latest chapter of my ongoing fic, "Crosshair Accepts a (Helping) Hand," if you enjoyed reading this. I won't spoil anything for you, but I basically wrote this to justify a plot point in the latest chapter. ;)
