Tbb Clone X - Tumblr Posts

So from what I can tell, the imperial clone assassin theories can be summarized as this:

Happy Bad Batch Eve. Let the anxiety for the next two episodes begin.

At least Tech has the excuse of being (possibly) dead. Echo where the fuck are you. This isn’t the marvel universe. There is no Thanos snap. We’re on the last three episodes like tick tock man. If you’re alive send a sign.

For this Bad Batch Eve, I have written a few Haikus.

Someone is missing

Echo get back on screen please

Legit, where is he?

Who is CX-2?

Tech, Cody, Soup Clone, Dogma?

When will answers come?????

We are all anxious

We are not ready at all

For the death of any

Except maybe Hemlock or Cid

Thank you and have a great Bad Batch Eve. My advice? Prepare for the worst because yeah not all of the boys are making it out alive by the finale. We have some time before the final episode, but just start preparing yourselves. Additionally, I’d like to say: Echo and Tech fans, stay strong I know you’re all probably screaming by now

About some CX-2 Theories

I’ve seen and heard a bunch of different ideas on who CX-2 could be. The most common ones I’ve seen are Tech, Cody, or a random clone, but I see some other ones as well! Some people theorize it’s Dogma or Fives or a clone of Crosshair, or a Frankenstein of the entire Bad Batch. So, I’m curious, if you don’t think it’s Tech, Cody, or a random clone (or the soup clone, whoever he is because I have no idea what people are talking about. Who is the soup clone????), who do you think CX-2 is and why? There are some theories I don’t exactly get the logic of, but I’m genuinely interested in how people came up with their conclusions!

100% this, although I’d like to extend it as just a general thing too. Please do not harass the crew if the show doesn’t end in the way you want or anything like that. I tend think that people who say that they’re going to go “mental” or “coming after the writers” are joking or speaking in hyperbole (and I hope they are), but just want to spread this around so that it’s known that actually harassing, doxxing, or any other harmful behavior towards the crew or other fans/people is not okay. Fan theories and headcanons aren’t canon, but they’re something we can engage in out of enjoyment. Don’t make something fun a means to hurt people. Let’s not make the world burn. If we don’t like how things turn out, like OP said, we have fanfics and fix-its. We’re all here to enjoy a show, let’s just enjoy it without hurting anyone in the process.

I know most of us are normal but I just would like to remind SOME of the fanbase that if CX-2 isn't Tech or Cody (or whoever else) then do NOT harass the crew. That's shit behaviour. You have to accept that theories are just that until proven correct or incorrect, and you can not treat fan theories like canon, or things that "should have been" canon. If you become so angry at being wrong that you feel the need to harass the crew, then you have only yourself to blame for allowing the theory to obscure and your enjoyment of the show and it's ending. That is how they wanted to tell the story. It is not their job to give us what we want. That's what fanfics and fix-it fics are for.

I also want CX-2 to be Tech. I have made my own posts about the similarities between the two. But that's all they are: theories. If CX-2 never appears again or is confirmed to be Some Rando™ then we're just gonna have to deal with it. We can not change that. You can not change that. But you HAVE TO RESPECT Jennifer, Brad, Dave, and all the other members of the crew. Be. Normal.

Imagine if Clone-X wasn’t Tech, but Tech is still alive and being prepped to become an assassin. The Bad Batch see this, take a deep breath, look at Rex and are like: “Okay we’re joining you and fighting the empire again to get Tech back. Soldier life it is.”

And then we have to wait like a year or two or five to get that resolution.

You think with all these Tech posts, he’d be my favorite. He’s not — I am more for Echo and Hunter lmao. The CX-2 theories were really interesting to me and since Tech seemed like the prime candidate I ended up talking about him for a bit. With the final episode of Bad Batch coming in less than a week now, I wanna say it’s been fun and I hope this fandom continues to keep Bad Batch alive. The community for this show has been amazing so far. I’m glad we can all come together and enjoy this show. Have a good day, everyone! ^_^

Also to the other Bad Batch fans concerned with Echo’s safety, I was literally not worried until I heard all the ways this could go wrong. Now I am scared. Why did you do this to me. /j

Echo: Maybe something traumatic will wake Tech up.

Crosshair: Well... I wasn't there for the first one!

PLAN 99!

*shoves Cx-2 off a platform*

Hunter: CROSSHAIR WHA-

Crosshair: Relaaax.

Wrecker from below: I got him!

I do wanna hear from as many of you guys as possible, so if it’s not too much trouble, please reblog! Although I’m horrifically late for joining the fandom, I’m so glad I did. It’ll be sad to see the show go, but I’m happy that it happened.

Fun, kind of dumb game for this final Bad Batch Eve. I’m calling it Bad Batch Confessions.

Share a fun fact (or more) or something of the like about your experience watching this show! Do you rewatch this show a lot? Do you always bring your family to watch it with you? Did it take you a long time to catch on to something? It can be anything, really! I’ll go first:

I went into Bad Batch with only somewhat vague knowledge of Clone Wars and Rebels, so there were a few times where I was just sitting there scratching my head and my brother had to answer my questions. Why is Echo part cyborg??? Wait, he was a reg before??? What do you mean???? Is Crosshair always like this or is it just the chip?? Oh, he was always an asshole? Okay, but why is everyone else so surprised by his behavior then? Why would they even like him then? If they were just turning a blind eye to his behavior because it was focused on the regs, doesn’t it make these guys kind of shitty too? Have they never seen a child before??? Do we not like Nala Se? What did she do? Oh okay I recognize Tarkin, we hate him, right? Right. Crosshair is acting really pissy towards his brothers when he just attempted to kill them, like, multiple times. Make up your mind, dude. You can’t have it both ways (yes, by that point my brother had finally convinced me that Crosshair’s behavior was 90% him and only like 10% of the chip).

Also my brother told me that Tech died before I even started season 2.

Your turn! :D

To the “Tech is alive” truthers — all of them — I hope you’re okay. Some of you stuck it out to very end. Some of you still haven’t given up. Your theories were amazing and you actually got me to believe that there was a possibility Tech would come back. You’re all awesome.

To the 130 people who voted on my “Bad Batch Finale” poll: none of you chose the “watch the finale and then dropping the show for good” option and I’m so glad because that was not the correct answer.

And thank you to the entire Bad Batch fandom: I likely wouldn’t have gotten too into this show without you. Thank you for making this experience more amazing than I possibly could have imagined.

That being said, since we have no confirmed answer on CX-2, let’s just all agree he was the soup clone so we have some closure.
