The Bad Batch + Text Posts

I remember this!!! I was so grossed out as a kid😆

I want you all to appreciate the funniest clip in all of star wars: the clone wars (2003)

yeah pretty much

She's the favorite sibling 😊

Hunter: Crosshair isn’t answering his comm

Omega: I’ll comm him

Hunter: Echo and I have both tried six times each, what makes you think he’ll-

Crosshair: Hello?

Howzer!! He looks so good in your style!

I couldn’t draw his eyes so he got sunglasses 😎 ( larger version below ⬇️ )

Close up of sunglasses Howzer cause I actually like how it came out

Howzer won the Twitter poll so now it’s on to Rex who won the tumblr poll

I never thought of it like that🤣

The more that I think about the early episodes of TBB S3, the funnier they get to me. Like

First we have Crosshair, who is really getting to know Omega for the first time. His only real interactions with her in the past have involved his brothers being EXTRA protective of her, so in his head Omega is probably just this poor, scared, naive little kid. And then one day she just pulls up to his prison cell and is like “what’s up, loser, we’re getting out of here” and then proceeds to sneak him out of a high security government lab under the nose of the emperor himself (she knows our battle plans?? Of course she knows all of our battle plans, that’s a normal thing to teach a 12 year old…) Not to mention the fact that Omega gambled in a bar and won more credits than either of them had probably ever seen in their lives, so that they could bribe the space TSA into getting them off world (WHY does the kid know how to gamble). Not that Crosshair is in any position to judge someone’s parenting, but he has QUESTIONS.

Omega, meanwhile, is for the first time getting the full Crosshair Experience, complete with every bit of sarcasm, snark, and sass that the man has been bottling up on Tantiss, and she is not having it. No, Crosshair, I don’t really know how to fly this shuttle, why don’t you quit your backseat flying and get your butt up here and do this yourself? No, Crosshair, we cannot open fire on civilians in an airport, I thought that was just an inhibitor chip thing for you. No, Crosshair, we are NOT LEAVING OUR MAN-EATING HOUND ALONE AND UNSUPERVISED ON A RESIDENTIAL PLANET.

And then you have Hunter, who hasn’t been thinking clearly for five months and who probably is living off a diet of spiked lemonade and sour patch kids (to match the bitterness inside him), who went from thinking “oh yeah we’re gonna settle down on Space Greece” to “Wrecker, that one crime syndicate called us back, if we murder this one guy for them then they MIGHT give us some info on Omega, wheels up in 10”

And poor Wrecker finds himself as The Responsible Adult for the first time in his life, which is incredibly confusing and a little bit scary and Hunter, you are TOO CLOSE to the edge of that cliff!! He’s never really believed in vegetables before but Echo says they’re good for you so he spends every moment that he’s not trying to keep Hunter from starting a second interplanetary war over the disappearance of his kid attempting to convince Hunter to try an apple or something.

And then it all culminates in this very tense, dramatic moment where they’re all staring at each other and Omega is like “yay now we can all get therapy!” and Wrecker is like “Echo come back I can’t do this on my own anymore” and Hunter is like “you can’t commit fratricide in front of the kid, you can’t commit fratricide in front of the kid” and Crosshair is like “TAKE YOUR SCARY CHILD BACK” and if that’s not peak Bad Batch then I don’t know what is

Oh! O-ok. B-but what about the person who ordered them?

Did someone order killer brownies?

Looks around and becomes nervous

Oh, uh, nevermind, I-I think I have the wrong place.

Quickly walks away

Sorry!

Uh-uh-uh. *Whistles.*

Stop right there, little bird. Somethin’ smells good.

What do you have there?

Crosshair: see?! It talks crap!

Crosshair: Echo help! There’s a creature under my bed and it’s really ugly. 🥺

Tech, in the bottom bunk: Honestly, fuck you, Crosshair.

I don’t actually remember drawing this, once my pen hit the tablet I blacked out as the art spirit possessed my mortal body once again.

Then I woke up and bearded crosshair was there

I finally got time to work on a bigger piece and it had to be the bad batch!

I love these idiots and I feel so robbed of not having gotten canon old designs for the rest of them outside of Hunter and Omega

Also I wanted Tech back because he's my favourite nerd

I imagine this picture was taken earlier that day that Omega left to join the rebel alliance
