Clone Force 99’s entrance in s7 is actually hilarious because Tech just drifted the Marauder over there in a hurry then it took them a hot minute to get out there lmao. Hunter’s dramatic frat boy ass probably said, “Ok, great landing, Tech, now let’s make ‘em wait a minute. Wrecker, you know your line? Crosshair, don’t start a fight just yet… Helmets on, boys, we’re gonna give these regs an entrance worthy of the Jedi.”

You know what guts me the most about Tech's last words?
"When have we ever followed orders?" he says.
Thing is - Tech has ALWAYS followed Hunter's orders. Tech frequently offers options for a plan and doesn't shy away from voicing his opinion, but ultimately he ALWAYS follows whatever plan Hunter selects, whether it was the one he (Tech) suggested or not. Even though he hesitated in "War Mantle," he even followed Hunter's order to be left behind on Daro (likely because he knew there was a good chance they could get Hunter back).
But there Tech is, hanging over the abyss, calculating all his options and knowing that the ONLY possible way his family might live is if he drops.
And he knows they will NEVER let him do it. They will all fall with him, because not a single one of his siblings will ever let him go. Hunter is ordering Wrecker to get Tech aboard - he has to know Hunter will never, EVER approve Plan 99.
And I can only imagine that it would have been so much easier for Tech if someone else had just cut the line for him, but he knows they never, ever will, so he does it himself.
Sure, the squad has always done their own thing, frequently deviating from or ignoring orders from other superiors.
But now, to save the squad, to save his family - for the first time, Tech doesn't follow his sergeant's orders.

since Crosshair is starting his healing journey, it would be really cool if his hair started growing back (you know, as a symbol of his growth).
(or it all got permanently fried off by the ion engine but whatever. I think it would be a missed opportunity if it didn't grow back)

Y’all are aware that Omega was gone for six months and their priority was her, right? Or before that when Wrecker nearly started crying, Hunter had to give the news to Omega, and Omega pleaded for them to go back because she thought they could still find him?
What about before Barton IV? When they were all gathered around the table and his name was mentioned and everyone fell silent and hung their heads? Even Crosshair?
If the creators didn’t want to keep his memory alive, they would’ve never mentioned his name again. They wouldn’t have kept his goggles in the show. They wouldn’t have shown very Tech qualities in Omega’s personality.
Instead, he’s seen in their decisions. He was felt in every scene when the Marauder was flown. He’s felt in every scene that involves tech, to any degree (because I know everyone has had a ‘tech could solve this’ moment while watching)
The characters don’t have to cry, hit a wall, and shout to the heavens in some big scene to show their grief. We’ve seen it already, and I think it suffices.
These characters are cloned soldiers who were created for war—nothing else. I think that’s forgotten quite often. Their mindset is different than your regular Joe. How they approach situations is different. How they grieve is going to be different.
They lost Tech, and almost immediately lost Omega. Their priority was finding any leads that could pinpoint them to Tantiss/Omega. Taking jobs, spending resources, and losing sleep until she was brought home. We have no idea what those six months held. We have no idea what Hunter and Wrecker went through without them there. Tech could’ve found her easily, and they know that. His goggles were sat on the shelf, and they probably felt his presence every single day
Omega wanted to preserve his goggles in that room on Pabu for a reason. He is still a part of their team. He’s still a part of their hearts and someone that the people of Pabu knew and appreciated. His character hasn’t been neglected, and the team hasn’t forgotten about him.
Sometimes you need to read between the lines 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Time to rewatch Extraction and lol forever about how Wolffe's first instinct upon meeting CX-2 is to hate him and then repeatedly try to get him accidentally or intentionally killed.

The other day I saw a fanart of Omega braiding Hunter’s hair (don’t remember where sorry) and now I need that to happen so bad.
Please let us have Omega braiding Hunter’s hair cause they miss each other so much that they just want to be together doing nothing at all in season 3

Thanks to @gamelpar 's beautifully heartwrenching post...
... I've had this song stuck in my head for DAYS now, so naturally I had to match screenshots to some of the other lyrics.
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we've got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride.
And since I am 1000% convinced that Tech was with Omega through the entirety of season 3 (but I haven't gone through a full chronological rewatch of season 3 yet so no screenshots at the moment), shout out to @tis-the-marmot and @queenjiru for their gorgeous artwork!!!

Okay I can't post it until next week at the earliest and NEED to get this off my chest between now and my next longer reply because of stuff we were talking about:
Confirmed in one of my livestream clips there's been actual consideration towards Mine having survived. It's just a matter of his voice actor's availability and wanting to do it right if they end up doing it. We really could see Mine back in the main series.
And I recorded that clip based on something I misheard and didn't register that part at all until now. How Are We Doing Tonight
(Speaking of, get well soon!! I was sick myself the past couple of weeks, it's awful)
me waiting for the absolute millisecond yokoyama drops the 100% Mine Survived The Fall statement
