“Bats goes even further, and commits a war crime.” Yeah, this is a true gamer moment right here.

Bats was in the republic for all of 3 minutes, and he's already committing war crimes

Juts imagine the carnage that would happen if BATS was a commando droid

This is very interesting. It's like how Rex never wanted to be a Commander since Commanders aren't in the battle with the rest of the clones.

The Republic: Buys Rex Arc Trooper armor Rex: Wears armor Also The Republic: You weren't supposed to do that.

2:50 To be fair, I think committing war crimes is par for the course in the Clone Wars...Obi-Wan did it at Christophsis, Rex did it at Horain, and Anakin did it at...wherever they were at the start of Season 7 Episode 9.

Bats being hanged for his crime at the Nuremberg Trials (circa 1946)

Bats, Bones and Roger, no finer trio.

”ARC Trooper Rex” somehow it actually sounds good.

the little giggle you did after saying 69% of watchers weren't subscribed you thought we wouldn't notice xD

Separatist B1: * can't fight worth shit * intelligence leaves much to be desired * dies easily Republic defector B1 * high intelligence * unrivalled melee prowess * unstoppable killing machine

“You guys are arc troopers now. Go get better armor.” - Cody

Lemme just say, Bats is fricking AWESOME. Like for Bats Edit: I'm not a clanker. I'm not an enemy of the Republic.

I think a cool theory that I just thought of was that batz was the leader of r2-d2s droid squadron when they went to the citadels and that since batz circuit was destroyed which was at the top of his head the leader of the squads head was blue to replace unlike the other 2 droids

I am very confused. This armor looks so close to what he normally wears, and it doesn't look like the armor other ARCs wear. The pauldron and kama I considered markers of ARC trooper training, which basically meant to me you could be classified as an ARC. And I never considered ARC Trooper really be a big promotion. Like if you were a private that got promoted to be an ARC they would give you a rank of like sergeant, or some other NCO rank, but I always considered it more of a specialty trooper not so much a rank. Rex definitely outranked Echo and Fives, bur he was below commander like Captain -> Commander -> General.

Echo is my fav ARC Trooper. It’s so cool to see him start as a rookie/shiny and then a normal 501st trooper and finally an ARC Trooper.

69% not subscribed huh? I mean, we can KEEP it that way right?

Best Jedi and Captain: Anakin and Rex. Best Sith and Commander: Vader and Appo.

Bats not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed

The question/idea that popped into mg mind was. "Maybe rex was an ARC troopers befire gaining rank, and wentbto regular armor so as to stay closer to his troops?"

It’s never actually mentioned that ARC troopers are higher in command so they could just be special forces and that’s why he never actually wears the armor.

Actually I never wondered this, I thought once a clone was a commander or leader of a clone legion etc, I thought they couldn’t be an arc trooper

Who wants to see where commander wolfe was when order 66 was executed

I love that you laughed a bit when you said 69%

Yes, I definitely want more Bats, cause he seems like a really unique character and would Love a backstory for him

Rex's original design was that of an ARC Trooper. That changed just before the show started.

I’d like to imagine bats was 1 of R2’s reprogrammed droids, from citadel arc.

I don’t think he wasn’t ALLOWED to wear it, I think he just didn’t wear it.

Honestly I wounder if he became one of R2s Battle droids in the Citadel Arc

How is this armor different from his usual phase 2 armor? The only difference i see is the helmet fin, but not even that is normal arc armor since rex still has the t shape visor. I love you man but you trippin on this one

He took Arc trooper training and easily deserved the rank. Love the content 69% are subscribed, nice

So many W A R C R I M E S

well personally i believe this was just this artist's interpretation of Rex's phase 2 clone armor. it does share hybrid similarities with the armor we see in the show. Notably, it has the phase 1 visor and standard phase 2 grill. The only differences are the added crest and no tally marks. He is also not sporting the double pauldrons. One could even argue that this is his armor earlier in the modification process. And while yes canon sources call him an ARC trooper he was certainly never called one in the show, which leads me to believe this was a retcon made later on. On top of all this, an even stronger argument that this is merely artistic liberty is that clone armor in modern star wars comics has been nothing if not inconsistent. In the vader comics for example, the issue where he kills Jocasta Nu, the shock troopers visors switch between phase 1 and 2 style over the course of a few panels and sometimes even had a flat surface on top like a stormtrooper. Also Fox's helmet was just shaped oddly in the comics as well. I doubt they are verifying the accuracy that closely. I mean this comic even shows 501st troopers with highly irregular markings.

I think we need more bats

Both Rex and Cody are technically ARC troopers as they’ve had previous training on Kamino. It was used as to help further their careers as officers in their respective Legion/Regiment

The tally marks symbolize brothers lost in war. I used to think it was campaign or kill marks for all the battles fought, but it was confirmed by Canon sources to be homage to those lost.

What about when Rex says that’s why he’s the arc trooper to Anakin about fives that insinuates he isn’t an arc trooper

I think this is a situation kind of like the US Army right now where phase one (the US Army case old UCP) is no longer authorized for where and the only two that are offered for where are arc trooper armor and phase two armor (scorpion and OCP for the US army) sorex probably told armorer what modifications he wanted done and turned in his phase two so he could do the work and he had to have armor to wear and he couldn't wear phase one because it was no longer authorized but he has arc armor so he wore it why his phase two was in "the shop".

Would be cool to have some stories about his arc trooper days!

Rex wearing arc armor in the clone wars show wouldve looked cool

This is very interesting add to rex's life story

This is honestly such an interesting video! Especially considering the fact it’s so much later on in the day this video! Great work SF1!

Rex's hair looks so fluffy in this art style omg

Captain Rex kind of deserved to be a full on ARC trooper

This was a great video, i really love bats he's one of my favorite b1 battle droids ever besides bones

I never knew rex had ark trooper aromor great video like always!

1:40, A yes my favorite droid in the separatist army, totally a B2 battledroid nothing to see here no droidekas in sight just good old B2 battledroids

Hey man I have a Q, you mention this is the only canon battle where Rex wears his ARK trooper armour but to me, it looks like his normal attire, am I missing something? Keep up the good work :D

When u were live streaming I was sleeping😛 I love the content.

At first I was confused at the mention of a B2 Super Battle Droid when the comic picture showed a Droideka/Destroyer Droid. Then it happened again.

Great video dude keep it up!

This the only time that I see Rex without his dual pistol

"And we all know how much clone commandos LOVE bacta" @zanny *inserts Bacta meme here*

I love the idea of a pet clanker

Rex and Bats are fucking awesome That is possibly the most wholesome content to come out of a clone trooper and battle droid

This blew my little mind My fave arc trooper is Fives all the way

Something so treasonous that pong krell is more innocent than this

Great video ! The B1 just killed me 😂

Hey man. I am already subscribed!

I like converted clankas, wish we had more of them. So far we only had Bats and R2's squad from the Citadel.

Wish for the clone wars we got a few arcs in the very early war in the few months Anakin had his short hair as a Padawan

The battle where Bats became a loveable droid

I hope Bats survived the War... I wanna see more of Bats

I know there is stuff that says he’s an ARC trooper in cannon, but there is also a lot against it. I also think the ARC helmet was the artist’s mistake because people do accidentally put fins on P2 helmets sometimes. If they were intentionally making him an ARC, they would have given him the rest of the ARC armor like the extra chest armor. If this took place with P2 armor, that old ARC helmet would be phased out for a regular P2 helmet like fives had and books usually make some mistakes in them so I think he probably isn’t an ARC trooper. Just my Opinion.

BATS IS MY BOY

Oh hey StarForceOne! I've been watching your videos since the clone wars season 7 came out, well done, you did solid. I have checked out you t shirt on offer, looks real sweet, and I have placed an order on it. Would love to see a sequel to Bats' life and looking forward to your next video

OK so I just found your channel today I absolutely love it there’s just so many very interesting videos At the end of the video when it recommends two of your other videos I just click on a random one and I end up enjoying it

0:21 NICE!!!

Are Droidika’s called B2 as well or was it just a mistake?

My first reaction to this was "Rex has ARC Trooper armor!?!?"

Love your videos

Also, you’re my favorite RU-vid!

The 31% that are not subscribes: I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it

This is why Jango Fett was against relying on the use of a fully automated droid army

Love the Sith holocron merch

I never knowed captain rex was a Arc....

I love how he chuckles as he says "69% of you arent subscribed"

Anyone else wish the ARC Troopers had more unique looks? They all wear a pauldron, kama, same number of pouches and bags on their belt, use DC-17 pistols primarily, etc. That's why I appreciate Jesse when he became an ARC Trooper because he didn't use a rangefinder like the rest of the ARC Troopers (Colt, Blitz, Fives, etc), so he was a bit more unique. It would've been cool to see more ARC Troopers in general like Boil being promoted to ARC Trooper, or seeing one that didn't use a pauldron and/or kama. Maybe his helmet has a visor like Cody's helmet.

Oh look it’s that conscientious battle droid again!

Spectacular

It is breavly says in some comics and the Clone Wars that he had a Arc training, this was always canon.

Nice video 👍

I love BATS he was a legend!

Love it

While I find this interesting, it's likely the design of Rex's armor in the comic is either a developers oversight, continuity error, or both. There was a comic set in 22 BBY that featured a Super Tactical Droid, despite the fact that the Super Tactical Droid wasn't created/deployed until 20 BBYm

Bruh that small laugh when he said “69%” was precious.

It would be great as an episode

Mega cool!

I'd be down to see more of Bats!

3:42 i guess you could say he went BATSH*T CRAZY!

That is an interesting looking B2 Battle Droid

The others says that its just his normal phase 2 armor i think they just look at Rex's armor not the helmet , the helmet does look like ARC trooper helmet its just with the phase 1 visor but Rex's helmet is a combination of phase 1(visor) and 2 helmet maybe he also added the phase 1 helmet fin but remove it after this event maybe?

YES I remember seeing his ARC Trooper armor here. I thought it was a mistake. Also I noticed Fives with his Phase 2 armor and not ARC. Also seems to be a Phase 2 Denal? or Mixer in the background. 0:21

Holy crap, Bats is pretty awesome. Need more content with him because he seems just as funny and epic as any clone trooper.

The Bat and Da Rex. Duo of a lifetime.

That pretty cool

I always saw Rex's Blue Should pad as his ARC Trooper variation in the 501st to match his personality.

Because he's the hero The Republic deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

Damn my duude I'll subscribe
