It took 2 people to fully convince Crosshair to do a 180 on the Empire - but neither of those people were Bad Batch members.

They couldn't be. What would a squad of defective clones who had been disobeying orders since day 1 know about loyalty to an institution determined to establish order for the good of the galaxy? What would they know about finding purpose in being "good soldiers"?

Now, I DO think the seeds of Crosshair's eventual defection were planted by his brothers. Hunter pointing out that "Blind allegiance makes you a pawn" and then telling Crosshair "All you'll ever be to them is a number" are statements that are proven later to be true. But it takes Cody and Mayday to drive the lessons home.

Cody and Mayday share several characteristics that place them in unique positions to influence Crosshair:

Both are regs who accepted and befriended Crosshair - Cody says he specifically asked for Crosshair for the mission, and Mayday is upfront and friendly to Crosshair right from the start. (Contrast this to the other regs getting up to move tables when Crosshair sits to eat, or the other clone troopers who walk past Crosshair to get onto the shuttle without even sparing him a glance.)

Both are commanders. (I believe Crosshair ultimately respects authority for the most part: even when he was arguing with and challenging Hunter in "Aftermath," he still deferred to Hunter's orders until his inhibitor chip was intensified and he was then promoted to commander.)

Both are loyal soldiers who have served the Empire well - again, these regs are still commanders even under the new government. And we all know how important loyalty to the Empire is to Crosshair at this point.

Both save Crosshair's life during their missions.

In short, both are regs, but they are still soldiers Crosshair can quickly identify with and trust.

I think it's key that Crosshair encountered Cody before Mayday, though. And despite their similarities, both soldiers drive home different points.

CODY

Cody is one of the few regs we know Crosshair already respected - and still respects, given that Crosshair almost smiles when he recognizes him.

(Some proof in case it isn't apparent: Crosshair goes from frowny face...

...to relaxed almost-happy-if-you-squint-just-right face)

Anyway, while Cody does drop some hints early on that he has doubts about the Empire, he is willing to carry out the mission to rescue "Governor" Grotton, showing he will follow orders to a certain extent. However, he shows more restraint than Crosshair might have: he doesn't attack the civilians despite their obvious mistrust of the soldiers, he comes to an understanding with Tawni Ames, he's NOT willing to follow an order to execute her, and he is clearly dismayed and disappointed by her death.

And so, at the end of a "successful" mission, Cody more plainly reveals the depth of his dissatisfaction with following orders against one's own moral scruples:

Hunter had said "Blind allegiance makes you a pawn." And Cody, unwilling to blindly and unquestioningly be a pawn - or act like a battle droid - any longer, goes AWOL.

But that lesson alone isn't enough to make Crosshair turn on the Empire. Instead, he needs Mayday to give him the final push.

MAYDAY

First, Mayday indicates how appalled he is by the idea of anyone leaving their own behind - which we know is a sore spot for Crosshair. But most importantly, Mayday has demonstrated since he was first introduced that he strongly believes in soldiers being loyal to and looking out for each other (which is far different than just being loyal to the Empire).

Second, Mayday unknowingly challenges Crosshair's belief that serving the Empire provides meaningful purpose. (Remember that one of Crosshair's main arguments to his brothers about joining the Empire was so they could "find purpose again.")

Then, he unwittingly goes for the jugular and rips apart the motto Crosshair had adopted.

And then, in case Crosshair has any lingering doubts about the answer to Mayday's rhetorical question, Nolan decidedly answers the question for him.

Hunter had said "All you'll ever be to them is a number," and he is proven right in the most heartbreaking way.

Crosshair had accused his brothers of not being loyal to him; unfortunately, now he sees what true disloyalty looks like. And for Crosshair - severe and unyielding - realizing that he has misplaced his loyalty by giving it to an entity that mocks him and casts him AND those he cares about aside for doing so... this is the final straw.

Thankfully, Crosshair has now rediscovered the people who are worthy of his loyalty.

His hand, so calloused from his pistol, softly traces hearts on my face,

And I could see it from a mile away, a perfect cause for my certain skillset,

He had a halo of the highest grade, he just hadn't met me yet,

I can fix him, no really, I can. And only I can.

I will cherish this forever. Whatever happens in the finale, this is who they are. A family, brothers, together. In my mind, forever...

Sure, the boys bullying Rampart is hilarious. But what about the absolute roast he’s going to receive when Omega sees him? My guy is gonna get humbled by a 14 year old with no filter.

Finally finished the digital version of this new clone wars+bad batch design

I think it turned out pretty well, I still like my very first one of these kind of designs the most but I ’m quite satisfied with this one as well.

Obviously just after i finished it I realized Kix is missing but I don’t really have the energy to try and fit his medic symbol in there somehow so it’ll stay like this for now.

Then there's THIS babe:

Thankfully the people at Frame It Easy didn't think this was too salacious to print and frame. 🤣

Again, art was a commission I booked with @clownbloody, and when I get the chance, I'm getting my Crosshair commission framed the same way.

I need more spank bank art, BADLY...

In "Decommissioned," Trace dresses down the Batch for their intended use of the battle droid intel, telling them, "Our contact needed that information to fight back against the Empire. They're trying to help people and make things better."

And then we are shown Tech's reaction to this.

Makes me think Tech, Mr. Practical "As Well As Earn a Decent Amount of Credits" Tech (I mean, payment is a very important consideration as the squad does need to eat), decided to talk Hunter into giving the data rod to the Martez sisters.

honestly i love dee bradley baker and michelle ang with all my heart, but i need more bad batch interviews that aren't just them. give me noshir dalal talking about his character and showing how he voiced those glorious screams in this week's episode. give me keisha castle-hughes talking more about emerie in a video interview rather than just an article one and what she thinks of emerie in season 3. give me jimmi simpson and how he nails hemlock's voice while not sounding like him at all in real life (at least to me based on whatever i've seen him in, I can't hear it). give me wanda sykes and how much she puts her own personality into phee.
