Why is his voice so damn good? It’s always a whisper or quiet speaking. Props to his voice actor, as much as an evil man as Hemlock is, the way Jimmi Simpson plays him is incredible.

These episodes were written before Clone Wars was even cancelled initially so I doubt this was intentional foreshadowing but damn it hurts all the same.

I mean, just imagine how elite they would have been. Empire not losing a single battle lol.

Hello badbatchers, To make things clear, the title of my last post was just a joke, made for teasing the fan girls of our favourite team. I hope you didn't see in there any kind of insults and if you felt that way i am sorry. Of course, everybody can answer and we are all here to share our passion in the best way ever. I don't want any misunderstanding. Thank you and long live the bad batch !

This is from Big Time Rush (If you know, you know).

Do I need to say more?

(I posted this a while ago in other social media, came across it again today and wanted to know your own headcanons about this topic!)

Rex: I know you work with Cody sometimes, but who do you guys report to?

Hunter: Hmm... good question. Can't say I've got an answer.

My headcanons about the reporting:

Tech writes up a full mission report after every single mission the squad completes during the Clone Wars, even though the higher ups stopped asking the squad for detailed written debriefings almost two years ago, after their first few ops.

(Echo started helping to write up the reports when he first joined the squad, only to be absolutely flabbergasted and lowkey horrified that the generals/commanders never ask for the reports, they just want to know whether a mission CF99 was assigned to ended as a success or failure.)

The reason why no one ever asks for the reports is because, after Commander Cody first called in Clone Force 99 for a tricky operation involving rescuing a dozen key hostages from an overwhelming amount of Separatist forces, Obi Wan was the one who reviewed the exceptionally professional and detailed report describing the squad of 4 clones rescuing the hostages by rappelling smack dab into the middle of the enemy forces and wiping out two entire battalions of droids (including the tactical droids) within 30 seconds with a crazy plan involving one bomb (the bomb wasn't even used on the droids themselves, it was used as a distraction), a knife, a rifle, two small mirrors, the Star Wars equivalent of duct tape, and "CT-9903's impulsive nature."

"Cody, are you sure this mission report is... accurate?" Obi Wan asks in concern.

"Yes, General. Three of the hostages corroborated the story even before the report itself came in. And CT-9902 - the one they call Tech, who writes the reports - apparently records everything, too, so I can verify..."

"No need. I ask only because I thought orders were for this to be a stealth operation."

"Right, well, the sergeant said his squad decided the most effective way to fulfill the "stealth" stipulation would be to not leave any droids operational, so the Separatists will never know exactly what happened."

Thus Obi Wan, realizing the sheer madness that would likely ensue should Anakin ever get his hands on one of these full reports - Anakin doesn't need ANY more chaotic ideas or incentive to go rogue - decides to simply record the mission outcome as "all objectives successfully met." The other generals (and, by extension, their commanders) soon pick up on Obi Wan's strategy and adopt it themselves, though for slightly different reasons (because imagine reporting that a squad using a plan called "rockslide" succeeded where a company + Jedi could not).

And so whenever Clone Force 99 is given an assignment, they are only asked in the debriefing whether said mission has been a success or failure.

(And then Cody calls in the Bad Batch for a mission that ends up involving Anakin, and Obi Wan is just sigh "I suppose this was inevitable. Yes of course this mission ended with Trench's entire fleet blowing up. No, Anakin, I will NOT recommend that Clone Force 99 be assigned strictly to the 501st. We're trying to keep the galaxy intact.")

They both look at peace. Hunter looks like the proud dad and Omega the secured content daughter.

1. Tech lives (just waiting for the story of his return!)

2. Tech is dead (why are we still talking about this?)

3. Undecided, though I prefer that Tech survives

4. Undecided, though I prefer that Tech be perma-dead

(I posed this question on tumblr, but reddit allows for a bit more in the way of discussion. Be nice to each other in the comments please!)

Do you think the Elite Squad and Crosshair were like the pre-cursors to the Imperial Death Troopers that would come later?

They have similar armor, they're both rather skilled in combat, they're both SOFs, operate in small but effective teams, and they do some shady shit.

Crosshair especially is similar to them. On that note, do you think he would've become a Death Trooper for real if he stayed loyal to the Empire and didn't frag his CO?
