I’m lowkey panicking with the realization setting in that with The Bad Batch finale, this could very well be the closing of the prequel era.

I’m not ready to let it go.

[techwrecker]

my favorite being that they speak Mando’a

[techwrecker]

I’m 10 followers away from hitting 100 😭💗

Any suggestions for a 100 follower special? I have no ideas but I would like to do SOMETHING!

Omega Headcanon where when she’s grown, she gets a tattoo for her brothers.

A skull, crosshair, goggles, a scomp link, and a bomb with lula’s face on it

[techwrecker]

truly is not even a question for me. I’ve loved Asajj since I was 8 lol

Okay who’s the best looking morally grey/evil women in animated Star Wars? Since my last one just happened to be all the men.

Also this made me realize there are way less animated Star Wars female villains than I thought. I can’t think of anymore that appeared in more than one episode than the list here.

[techwrecker]

I wonder if we will see an aged-up Omega in the finale? Like a time skip maybe? Hmm

[techwrecker]

One could also say Crosshair was ALSO hurt by the thing he loves (his brothers)

Someone on Twitter pointed out that Wrecker got hurt by the thing that he loves (explosions) and I would just like to say RUDE.

[techwrecker]

I wonder how Kanan would feel knowing the same clone commander who tried to protect him during Order 66 also saved Hera’s family.

[techwrecker]

There would be no other point to reveal CX-2 as Tech except for:

-emotional distress (killing him again)

-future projects (new show)

-completing the family and having them live happily ever after (i’m delusional)

Echo: CROSSHAIR! For MAKER’S SAKE! CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!

Crosshair: How do you know it’s my mess?

Echo: It’s 40 toothpicks haphazardly thrown all over the barracks. 😐

Crosshair: Okay, that’s fair.

[techwrecker]

I sort of want to write an AU where Omega is the youngest & the crew raised her and she goes on missions with them when she’s older. I just am not sure what her “power” would be unless i leave it the same (force sensitive?)

OR apocalyptic style- Omega saves and raises the boys on her own with AZ.

Hmm..

[techwrecker]

I hope we get a “idk how anybody sees out of these kriffing helmets” from Echo next episode.

It would be nice comedic relief from the imminent finale despair.

[techwrecker]

He definitely jams to the Pop Goes Punk albums. best of both worlds lol

Crosshair seems like the type of person that when they’re on the aux, you will either get My Chemical Romance or Taylor Swift and there is no in between.

[techwrecker]

oh no, i’m rewatching it right now actually. I just mean… we have no other choice but to start all over again once it’s finished haha

So we all agree we’re rewatching the bad batch in full right after the finale is released right?

I think Emerie was jealous of Omega.

Hear me out.

They are the only two cis female clones that we know of. Omega was left to age naturally, but not Emerie. Omega was able to find community with her other 99 brothers, but not Emerie. Emerie was left to the science side of things with Nala Se whereas Omega was able to escape when the Empire took over. Now, I think it’s safe to assume Emerie has a chip as well and she could have been programmed with complacency to side with the Empire. She was just “doing her job.” Emerie was alone for a long time until Omega was captured. And we finally see Emerie “warm up” to Omega when she lets her keep the doll she made. And not only that, Omega felt comfortable enough to tell Emerie all about her brothers. I think this made Emerie realize how completely ALONE she was. I think this is partially why she is ready to fight back against the Empire and Hemlock and free the children. She wants to be a part of something— something that Omega has had for a long time.

Accolades

500 Words Timeline: Pre-Order 66 Era Bad Batch Summary: Hunter turns official accolades into something more meaningful for his brothers.

Clone Force 99 never accepted accolades. It wasn't their thing. After all, they were created specifically for the missions no one else could do. Being rewarded for it seemed pointless.

And Hunter didn’t disagree…

…but when accolades were assigned, he always ended up sneaking out after his brothers had settled in for the night to speak to Commander Cody. 

The conversation was always the same.

“I’m sorry your brothers couldn’t make it…again,” Cody would say, handing the medals over.

“Yeah, well, they’re tired from the mission.” One of many excuses he had given Cody during this war.

“Tell them that, on behalf of myself and the generals, 'Keep up the great work, soldiers.'"

“Will do, Commander.” Hunter always said this with a smile. 

Cody returned that smile. They both knew Hunter wouldn’t relay the message. They both knew these medals weren't for his brothers, they were for Hunter.

Hunter had a painted box full of medals and ribbons for each of his brothers.

There was a digital skull skewered by a lightning bolt on Tech's box.

A bomb with a happy face for Wrecker.

And a skull with a crosshair vector over one eye for his youngest brother.

Recently, he added a box for Echo too. He went with a blue handprint for his newest brother, to honor Echo's old armor before the Separatists took nearly everything from him. 

With the exception of Echo’s box, Hunter had been filling these boxes since they were cadets. Their earliest medals had simple accolades from simpler times:

“Fastest Swimmer” - Tech. 

“Most Bullseyes in 60 Seconds” - Crosshair. 

“Feats of Strength” - Wrecker. 

“Leadership and Valor” - Hunter

The accolades shifted after graduation. They came from dangerous missions that ended in violence. Assigned to a bad batch of clones who were somehow expendable, yet the only ones who could survive these impossible situations.

This last mission had taken their toll on the whole squad. Too many clankers, not enough intel, they won the day, but throwing medals at them felt like an insult, even if Cody's appreciation was genuine.

Hunter wanted to turn those medals into something meaningful.

And so, Hunter sat on his bunk, a small laser tool in his bandaged hand, etching over each medal with his own accolades for his brothers.

Tech was awarded “Shooting the most clankers while slicing an AAT-1 and throwing barbed insults at Echo”.

For Crosshair: “The most WIZARD precision shot through a tank’s barrel while spitting a toothpick in a clanker’s eye”.

Wrecker received: “The loudest laugh while mowing down four dozen clankers and eating a hamburger simultaneously”. Hunter still didn’t know where he got that burger.

And finally for Echo, “The most somersaults during a stealth mission while throwing barbed insults back at Tech”

Hunter hesitated over his own medal, as he always did.

Giving himself accolades never sat right.  He could never think of anything, anyway.

So he wrote what he always wrote: “This medal is awarded to Hunter for being the proudest oldest brother in this Badass Batch. I love you guys.”

He tucked the medal away in his own box, a skull with cross-vibroblades beneath it, and tucked it under his mattress with the other boxes.

One day, this war was going to be over.

And on that day, Hunter planned to give these boxes to his brothers.

He couldn’t wait to see their faces.

[techwrecker]

Honestly, it’s probably because it would be pure inconvenience for him to take it on and off and on and off every time the batchers or rex needed him to scomp in for a mission.

Echo could've had a hand this entire time and he chose not to

Another reason why I love him 🥰
