The Clone Wars co-creator Dave Filoni confirmed in a 2011 interview with IGN that the tally marks represented kills. "[Rex is], like, this veteran now," he said, "and he's got little kill marks all over his armor." He added, "Rex doesn't believe that the new armor is really that good.
Thousands. Probably tens of thousands. Never kept count like some of the boys.” Thus, Rex pointed out an inherent flaw in the original explanation for the tallies: he killed too many battle droids to account for all of them.
In addition to providing its wearer with better vision, the armor plates were lighter and stronger than that of Phase I. While Phase II was capable of withstanding impacts, pressure, heat and acrid vapors, the armor was vulnerable to a direct hit from a laser blast.
Rex's helmet, which he wore in the latter half of the war, was a modified combination. of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 clone armor, which we explained in a recent video. As other clones transitioned to standard Phase 2 gear, Rex welded his new and old issued armor. into his own hybrid.
Each Jedi Master or Knight that has the rank of “General” is given a legion of clones. The blue-striped soldiers of the 501st serving under Anakin, like Captain Rex, wear blue; the orange-striped soldiers of the 212th serving under Obi-Wan, like Cody, wear orange.
Not long after the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Mandalorian trainers responsible for educating clone officers on Kamino were responsible for issuing the traditional battle honor to Clone Captain Rex, who chose to display his jaig on his helmet as well, detailing it in the blue coloring of the 501st Legion.
Introduced in The Clone Wars animated film and featured throughout the television series of the same name, Captain Rex, designation number CT-7567, is the commanding officer of Torrent Company within the 501st Legion under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Padawan Commander Ahsoka Tano.
Since Tano no longer held an official position in the Grand Army of the Republic after leaving the Jedi Order, Rex was formally placed in command with Tano serving as a civilian advisor. Despite this, all of the clones, Rex included, deferred to her and painted their helmets in imitation of her facial markings.
Kamas (or belt-capes) were skirt-like armor accoutrements worn from the belt. In the later days of clone trooper Phase I armor, Clone Commanders, Clone Captains, clone commandos of Clone Force 99, and Advanced Recon Commandos added blast-resistant kamas to their kits, along with other gear.
Rex shed his clone armor for a slaver's garb when he joined Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka in infiltrating Zygerria in an effort to rescue the enslaved colonists of Kiros. Rex and Obi-Wan were taken captive and treated brutally in slave pits on the planet Kadavo.
A: Captain Rex modified his suit. He did not like the phase 2 clone trooper armor as much so he welded the phase 1 chest piece and the phase 1 T visor to fit his needs.
With some design assistance from Jango Fett, the basic armor design became composed of twenty form-fitting plates of lightweight plastoid-alloy composite, sealed to a black bodysuit and weighed just under forty kilograms.
Phase 3 Clone Troopers, also known as Resistance Clones, are clone troopers that wore new Phase 3 clone armor and fought for the Clone Resistance from 18 BBY to 12 BBY. Their armor resembled a Stormtrooper cadet's armor, but was more reinforced.
Phase II incorporated all of its predecessor's systems in addition to polarized lenses, padding, and stronger, lighter armor plates. It could also support more modular attachments, making it superior to its predecessor.
When the enemy threat is eliminated, head up to the second floor balcony and enter the side room. Here in the middle of the shelves you'll find a Wall Safe with Easy Decryption: crack it, and you'll get the armor! If you have Wrex in your Squad, the Assignment will end here in the base.
He was amongst the first generation of clones created for the Grand Army of the Republic. Grown to be among the greatest soldiers in the galaxy and a leader, Rex was given additional command training and was promoted to be a Clone Captain in the Grand Army of the Republic.
The clone trooper battalion, was put under the leadership of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker with clone captain Rex, while Rex was succeeded by Appo at the end of the war. The 501st was present from the beginning of the Clone Wars until Legacy Era.
