Star Wars 10 Most Badass Clone Troopers

In an army where everyone walks, talks, and acts like you, it's difficult to stand out

But not to these clones. I'm Ewan, this is WhatCultureStarWars, and here are the 10 most

badass clone troopers. 10. The Bad Batch Yeah, I know this is slightly cheating given that they're a group and I'm not focusing on just one

individual clone, but come on, how are you meant to choose between these guys? They're all really

cool. The Bad Batch were the breakout stars of The Clone Wars Season 7, with fan-favorite Echo

joining Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair in the final season's opening arc. The Bad Batch

aka Clone Force 99, are unlike the rest of the soldiers in the Clone Army in that they developed

imperfections during the cloning process. However, the fact they're so dynamic and independent gives

them an edge in combat, with Hunter especially looking like the Star Wars equivalent of Rambo

9. 99 Although not badass in terms of his ability to take on clankers and battle

99 was definitely badass in spirit. 99 was an outsider among all his brothers, but had the heart of a fighter

Deemed unfit for service, he was assigned as a maintenance clone. Nevertheless, 99 always had a smile on his face

He took pride in his work, but he longed to be a soldier like his brothers. He had a particularly close bond with Heavy, who upon graduation gave 99 his medal as a keepsake and told him he would return for it later

Sadly, that day would not come, and 99 learned of Heavy's death when the remaining members of the Domino Squad returned to defend Kamino from another invasion attempt

During the Battle of Kamino, 99 would follow in Heavy's footsteps, sacrificing himself in the heat of battle

8. Commander Cody One of a few clones to appear in live action before the 2008 animated show

Commander Cody was one of the more seasoned clone commanders in the Grand Army of the Republic

Leading the 212th Attack Battalion under General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cody is a by-the-book leader who gets the job done

Being a classic military type, Cody follows orders and is a loyal soldier

This creates a sort of contrast between him and Rex, as he does not think to question if what he is doing is actually the right thing

Despite this, Cody valued the lives of his men during the countless battles he fought

in over the course of the war Here hoping we find out what happened to him after Order 66 sooner rather than later 7 Commander Wolf Leader of the Wolf Pack and commander to General Plo Koon Commander Wolf was a veteran who saw

his fair share of conflict. Able to command a battle either by leading from the front or from

the bridge of a command ship, Wolf inspired a fierce loyalty in his men. Initially sporting

a maroon color scheme on his armor, Wolf redesigned this following the Malevolence arc

After losing the entire 104th Battalion, he changed the iconic gray and adopted the Wolf

logo on his armor. Wolf did not only lose his comrades during the war though, as he also lost

an eye during a confrontation with Asajj Ventress. During his second appearance in Star Wars Rebels

Wolf had changed considerably. Suffering with trauma after removing his inhibitor chip

he had to overcome his own demons to do battle once more, this time against the Empire

6. Hardcase The 501st heavy weapons enthusiast, Hardcase's most notable appearance came in the Umbara arc

in The Clone Wars. Hardcase revels in the chaos of battle, but he knows when he is outmatched and

outgunned. Not wanting to see his brothers die an unnecessary death, together with Fives

he manages to work out the secrets of the Embaranth Starfighters to use them to their own advantage

Disobeying the orders of General Pong Krell, who is a big meanie, not gonna lie, to save his

brothers walking into a slaughter, he helps in the attack on a Separatist command ship

attacking it from the inside, echoing Anakin during the Phantom Menace. Hardcase opts to

stay behind to destroy the ship from the inside, and goes out in a fitting explosion only he would

be proud of. Number 5. Gregor A one-hit wonder in the Clone Wars during the episode Missing in Action, Gregor is an amnesiac

clone commando who appears to be a simple pot washer. However, this kitchen porter is comparable

to a Star Wars John Wick once he remembers how to handle a rifle. Capable of fighting off dozens

of droids, it can be assumed he has racked up quite the kill count, if the tally on his helmet

is anything to go by at least. Gregor was initially thought to have been killed in action after

covering the escape of Colonel Mebor Gascon and his droid team, but he made a surprise

appearance alongside Captain Rex and Commander Wolf in Star Wars Rebels. Albeit Gregor had

undergone a slight personality change after removing his inhibitor chip this didn stop him from taking up arms once more though this time against his former employers in the Empire This would be his last battle though as Gregor dies in Rex arms after being

shot by an Imperial technician. 4. Sev Sev is the bloodstained sniper of Delta Squad and appeared in 2005's Republic Commando video game

Skilled even among the ranks of the Commandos, he was praised by his handler for pushing himself

beyond the limits of what was expected of the clones, leading Sev to gain a reputation as a

ruthless but efficient soldier. The only thing more ruthless than Sev's aim was his sense of humor

claiming the tank that he was grown in was spiked, which caused him to develop more psychopathic

tendencies. But despite having an intimidating front, Sev maintained a brotherly bond with his

squad, especially Scorch, who cameoed alongside him in The Clone Wars, a show that actually sort

of owes its existence to Republic Commando, given it was the first piece of Star Wars media to

actually give the clones distinguishable personalities following some of the comics. Number 3. Fives. Fives undergoes one of the biggest arcs throughout the Clone Wars

We see him throughout his trading, his graduation, his promotion to Arc Trooper

and even as a fugitive. He's one of the best examples of the clones being portrayed as more

than just soldiers. Fives himself was unafraid to stand up for what he believed in, and he placed

the lives of his friends above all else, even if that meant enticing the wrath of General Pong

Krell, that guy again, during the Umbara arc. This earned him a reputation as being a bit of a maverick

but also a loyal soldier. After Tupp's inhibitor chip malfunctions and he prematurely executes a

Jedi, Fives finds himself going down a rabbit hole conspiracy that almost leads him to preventing

Order 66. In what is one of the most heartbreaking moments in the show, Fives dies before he can

expose the Emperor's secret plot. He only appears in 15 episodes throughout the series

but he's instrumental in Ahsoka and Rex's surviving Order 66. Number 2. Fordo

Okay, now we're talking. The original clone badass, this red ARC trooper gave General Grievous a run

for his money in the 2003 Clone Wars series from Genndy Todakovsky. Able to hold off waves

of battle droids on his own, Fordo set the standard all other clones are held to

And yet I know he is a bit of a fairly one dimensional character but Fordo more than makes up for that in raw cool factor alone We are first introduced to him during the Battle for Moonalist where he aids Obi Kenobi in apprehending Separatist leaders

even battling with the bounty hunter Durge in the process. However, this was just a warm-up for Fordow

as he and his team were sent to rescue a group of Jedi dueling General Grievous

Surrounded by an army of droids, Fordow was able to get his Republic gunship in

fend off the Jedi-killing general, rescue the survivors, and escape without a scratch. We last see him during the invasion of Coruscant

Clad in his Phase 2 armor, he defends an entire sector single-handedly like some kind of not

giving up guy. Do us all a favor, Lucasfilm, and bring him back into canon, yeah

1. Rex Alongside Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex was the best written character to come out of the Clone Wars

Originally a by-the-books captain, he becomes the most well-developed and written clone character on the entire series

Learning to think for himself, he has a fierce loyalty to his Jedi General and comrades

He also takes on many of Anakin's traits and teachings and acts as a sort of big brother to Ahsoka, as well as a role model to his men

This is once again most prevalent in the Umbara arc, where Rex is stuck between doing his duty or protecting the lives of his soldiers

Some of the bleakest episodes in the entire Clone Wars, this is where Rex really comes into his own

and begins to challenge his belief system when facing off with General Pong Krell

In this arc, it feels more like a gritty war drama rather than a Star Wars show airing on a kids TV channel

A firm fan favorite, Rex returned in Rebels alongside the previously mentioned Gregor and Wolf

Joining Kanan Jarrus and his crew, Rex continued to bring new and exciting ideas to the show

Seeing a clone and Jedi interact post Order 66 creates some great moments

Rex even went on to participate in the Battle of Endor, joining Han Solo's strike team to blow up the Forest Moon's shield generator

and that is some seriously cool Star Wars trivia. Also, given the direction of the live action of Star Wars shows

it might not be long until we see Rex in live action. One can only hope he shows up in the Ahsoka series when it eventually drops

And those were 10 of the most badass clone troopers in Star Wars history
