#Tech Echo and Hunter nearly got their windpipes and or skulls crushed

[heyclickadee]

I’m rewatching TBB season one and getting close to where Wrecker’s chip activates in “Battle Scars,” and:

1. That scene in “Decommissioned” with Wrecker on the ground pleading with the thing in his head that’s trying to force him to kill his friends to please stop gets harder to watch every time.

2. The first time I saw “Battle Scars” I was operating under the assumption that the chips overrode a clone’s personality, but now that we’ve seen more of the chips, it doesn’t really work like that. It’s more that the chips hijack a clone’s personality to do what it wants. And we’ve seen a whole lot more of Wrecker since then, so…no, Wrecker would never in a million years try to hurt his family, that’s all the chip, obviously. But the terrifyingly competent, unstoppable force of nature Wrecker turns into while the chip is forcing him to fulfill that order 66 contingency clause? That’s just Wrecker when he turns fun mode off. (Sorry, I’ve just been very slow on that particular uptake here).

#the bad batch #wrecker bad batch #seriously it’s a miracle that none of them died #Tech Echo and Hunter nearly got their windpipes and or skulls crushed #all Wrecker would have had to do was squeeze a little harder #I have to assume that the only reason any of them walked away was because he was fighting it that hard #also #I’m not saying I want to see Wrecker go ham on some imperials #but I am #I’d like to see Wrecker go ham on some imperials #OR #he never got to toss Anakin in TCW #let Wrecker toss Vader #WITHOUT GETTING KILLED #got to specify that part
