U got an imposter trying to do some illegal shit
@@lonewolf5054 indeed I was about to say that
Can you make a video on how weapons where distriputed ina squad?
Quick query regarding the "Topps Star Wars Cards" advert.
Does Topps provide an app allowing download / printing of the cards onto physical card-stock?
I think the cards look pretty cool and wouldn't mind printing off some of them for say, mounting in a frame...
p.s. "Chopper" should have a RED villains card! :)
I love that Rex customized his Phase 2 armor by welding pieces of Phase 1 armor on it, like the chest piece of the cuirass and the visor of his helmet.
My man was a designer 😈
Yeah that’s how he has a unique visor, it’s straight a p1 visor
Facts
This was an excellent touch by the show. Clones we’re magnificently kitted out.
"If the Grand Army of the Republic were made up of average humans, you simply would not have a functioning army now. Clone Troopers are optimized humans, and only two percent of the population could be as tough, resilient and aggressive as these men are." - Mij Gilamar
Literal Facts 2% or less
"Think of it. A Grand Army of the Republic. A show of strength and power like the galaxy has never seen. All stemming from you. How many men can claim such a legacy?" - Count Dooku to Jango Fett
When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy schmancy tanks! We had sticks! Two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon! And we had to share the rock!
Jesus Christ you sound like my old seargent. I miss that old man
Nice Halo reference
"We regret that the corps just blew up our raggedy a** fleet"
Both the ARC Troopers and the Republic Commandos should've had their own version of a Mandalorian vambrace
Eh. it would have been cool i guess but those were for fighting Jedi and the Jedi may have gotten a bit wtf over it lmao.
@@CT-8024 It probably would be helpful when you’re surrounded by an army of clankers
The Clone Commandos did have retractable wrist-mounted vibroblades. Is that an adequate alternative?
@@isaackim7675 See, now I just want to watch Clone Wars!
Jango Fett: "So you like your army?"
Obi-Wan Kenobi: "I look forward to seeing them in action."
Jango Fett: "They'll do their job well. I'll guarantee that."
Man I love that line, it's so chilling now that EP 3 is out. Jango knew what the Clones were really made for, not as an army to fight for the Republic in the coming war, but an army meant to aid the Jedi and kill them when they least expected it. That's why the Prequels are my favorite era of Star Wars, you see Palpatine manipulating the Republic, Jedi, CIS, even villains like Maul, Dooku, Ventress, Grievous, and the many commanders of the CIS are all victims despite many being evil. They threw their lot in with SIdeous only to be betrayed and most killed off by or during the end of the war, or if survive became enemies of Palpatine's new Empire, while the Clones are probably the greatest victims as they were created expecting to fight for the Republic and often befriending the Jedi during the war, only in the end to be forced by inhibitor chips to betray the Jedi and becoming the iron fist of the Empire for only 1 or a few years until most died or were retired and phased out by the Human Stormtroopers. This all makes that scene in Kenobi of the 501st Clone begging for food on the streets so sad and tragic. To see after all he's been through, just discarded and even the Stormtroopers pay him no mind.
And well they did... but the times sure weren't kind to them in return.
@@TheZamaronDid Jango actually know about Order 66?
@@TheFirstCurse1 He did, or at least he knew the Clones would be used against the Jedi. At least in Legends he did.
@@TheZamaron Ok. I looked it up after asking you and it seems like he never knew in canon.
Realizing now that the Droid poppers were actually emp grenades, I wonder why they weren't used in umbara. I know the normal rockets didn't work but I'd have thought emp weapons may have been useful against them.
Another glorious day learning about the Grand Army of the Republic
04:00 according to my knowledge, both might be true. There are pictures of the phase 1, where the belt is a little lifted upwards and you could see that the abdomen and crotch piece are connected. In RoTS, on Utapau, some clones are seen the where the belt is a little upwards as well, but there is a small black gap, indicating they aren't connected anymore
Time to take notes and BUILD MY OWN KIT BABEEEEEEY. For the Republic!
For our BROTHERS!!!
FOR THE REPUBLIC!!
GET READY TO SCRAP THOSE CLANKERS!!!!!!
WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS
I am actually in the process of making that. a nerf version but still. I am thinking 104th or 332nd. I’m going to try and see if I can have the helmet because the event that I’m making this for doesn’t allow facemasks except for disease protection. I wanted to make this for protection as a safety thing.
The equipment of the Clone Troopers were vital for their continued fighting in the battle and perhaps their very survival on that very battle. Without the common equipment listed here the Grand Army would have fallen apart in a matter of weeks rather than affecting fight the Confederacy for nearly four years of brutal combat.
Yeah, the Techno Union really helped the sith grand plan
How about the clones and Jedi weren’t as different as they thought? Jedi were taken away when babies to serve the Jedi order and the light side of the force, clones were bred from birth for a singular purpose to serve the republic neither really having a choice to serve
When a clone army empire fights fanatic materialists in Stellaris.
BIG question that I have always wondered. Who would win. A Deathtrooper or an Ark trooper.
Arc trooper and it’s not even close lol
Idk why don't we ask the covenant
ARC Trooper would destroy a deathtrooper
@@scarwing2492 How about a squad of Commando Droids Vs a single Wookie warrior.
@@scarwing2492 If pre-TCW version, not filoni's sad excuse for arcs that he has brought into canon
It feels good to see a video from you as soon as I open TH-cam
88 pounds of plastoid armour? I'm surprised they didn't ditch the shoulder pads and such to reduce weight like how our soldiers do.
the weight is actually quite close to that of modern militaries & even the old knights of the middle ages so it's the best weight for a soldier to be wearing for its protection. I am still surprised its so heavy I thought it'd be lighter as its not really a anti-ballistics armour but an anti-energy beam armour but I guess for something to effectively distribute the energy it needs to be thick & have a large surface area.
Edit: after looking I found out that its way heavier than I thought. I don't use pounds & had mixed up the roughly 40 pounds of weight with the 40kg he said which means its double the weight of an actual armour.
@@cillianennis9921thing is that knight armor made them very hard to take down, like equivalent to a mandalorian in starwars. I do not think that the clone armor was as weak as only being able to take a blast from a holdout pistol. I imagine they should at least be able to take a low power rifle, because Rex survives a very high power round to the chest
@@cillianennis9921 I think its too heavy, actually. No way they'd be able to move like that in armor that heavy.
@@floriansteininger347 Yeah the heaviest a soldier does hold however 158kg for a short time like 6 miles. Not sure how long you could actually do it with about 80kg. Maybe if we take into account the fact that some planets gravity will be different then it mightn't be the worst but it still seams very heavy for what it is. You'd have thought that it'd have been round the same weight as modern stuff as its the sweet spot of military equipment by how its basically remained the same for a few centuries.
“88 pounds in “freedom units”” I love that. I’m from the States and I’m going to annoy the hell out of my friends and family with it.:)
You showed a DC-15S when you started talking about the DC-15A
This is Cool learning about standard equipment of clones. I like to see more stuff like this. also the fact clones have basically MCU Ironman hud tech is cool but never saw it in the series or live action stuff.
Not true. We saw in in Gregior’s helmet in his primer episode.
@@Torcman1988 we did?
@@Josh_Hammond when he puts on his helmet to look at the lading bay and ship above.
@@Torcman1988 oh ok I'll have t rewatch the series again.
GAR’s greatest accomplishment: most epic load out for troopers
Personally think they should have used a phase 1 Chest and back plate it's where the droids always aim
6:07 the more one thinks about, the more similar the clones and the CIS droids are.
11:25 Thanks for the shout-out, Geetsly's! :D
"Just like simulations." - Clone Trooper probably
You could make a whole separate video on the variations of clone armor as well. The 41st Elite Corps alone had some fun changes to make their jobs easier.
I like how someone had done their research & made the armour a realistic weight as the 48kg they say is very close to all militaries throughout history from the medieval knights in armour to modern soldiers in Kevlar & with only really centre of the body armour which all are in the 40-50kg weight amount as it is the ideal weight for protection ratio of most militaries & is why even in a far future why you'd expect a similar weight as it balances out quite well.
Edit: after doing some looking I learnt that I had mixed up the Pounds value & the Kilogram value so it actually is insanely heavy. twice that of the roughly 20-30kg of modern armour & equipment.
Geetsly’s out with another banger! Keep up the good work.
This is by far one of your best videos yet. Keep up the great work.
Fun fact: The cylindrical thermal detonator was actually suppose to be a lightsaber in the first drafts of Star Wars. Of course this was for Stormtroopers but the design of clone armor is suppose to be early version of stormtrooper armor... That's why phase 2 armor looks more like stormtrooper armor.

I wonder if the Kaminoans had Jango Fett test fit the mark I clone armor...
Great video. Thanks for the info. I love the clones.
PRETTY GOOD ! More like this please !
Personally, I say it's extremely unrealistic whenever you see an organic using a separatist E11, seeing as how those particular E11s had no cooling function and would (possibly irreparably) burn the hands of any meatbag wielder.
Edit: I have been informed since posting this comment that clanka blasters were actually E-5s, not E-11s.
You mean an E-5?
@@adama9300 E-5s were the stormtrooper blaster, weren't they?
@@darkpit37 Nope, the E-11 were standard blaster of the stormtroopers. You mean the E-5 of the droids.
@Yuno ユノ I'm googling this. You're probably right, but still. Brb.
Edit: you were right. The point of my original comment remains, but said comment will require an edit.
If anything, assuming that E-5 lack cooling is unrealistic - sure, it may be not top notch or optimized for handling without insulation like thick gloves, but having no cooling is recipe for having your rifle melted after short burst - not even CIS is that wasteful
6:00 so that is why they roll black dice for shooting. 7:02 they still get red defense dice both ways, so no big deal there :P
Would love to see such video about the Droid Army and their equipment 😋... Good Video I always love the depth you put in these vids :))
This is going to be SO useful when I do my clone wars campaign.
Can you please do a video about the kit carried by the Jedi during different eras?
Amazing breakdown
I remembered when the clone troopers have been compared to the Republic troopers and it has been stated that the clones are better than them. But what about the Stormtroopers? Between them and the Republic troopers? Who are better and stronger?
Clones are better by everything but the stormtrooper armor is good too and they can hit there targets.
Pppl that say stormtroopers are bad and other things didn't know much.
Since the Ewoks beat up the Stormtroopers, I think Stormtroopers are the bottom of the power rankings.
Stormtroopers have been quoted to be drastically inferior to clone troopers
I would say that stormtroopers and republic troopers are about the same, maybe the republic troopers are a little better. Given that both are regular people being recruited/drafted, although it’s implied that stormtroopers were sent to the academy as soon as they were of age (so 15? That’s how old Ezra was I think). So without any solid side by side comparison I would say equal with the clones being superior to both.
Clones by a long shot,they're literally bred for war since birth where most stormtroopers we're conscripts or drafts.give them the same weapons and armor tho and the clones are gonna win 99% of the time
I haven’t heard your voice in a long time, I’m glad to be back and your voice nearly brought a tear to my eye. 07 brother
I feel it's only right to analyze the Imperial and First Order Stormtroopers but I would really like to see an in depth look on Old Republic Troopers and Sith Imperial Troopers if you haven't done so already
Love your channel can you 1 on standard storm trooper kit
Can u do a video about the moncala shipyard and how it became larger than kuat
"Freedom units" Hell yeah, nothing beats good ole' freedom units
I love your content
I love that the phase 1 armor was so uncomfortable because of the fact that the Kaminoans had little knowledge on the intricacies of human anatomy. Also I think it’s so odd that Disney canon changed the names of the Clone blasters. The DC-15 [a] is now the DC-15 and the DC-15 [s] is now the DC-15 [a]. I also really hate that the proper DC-15 blaster rifle isn’t in Battlefront 2 (2017). There’s just the carbine and a heavy blaster variant of the DC-15. It’s something that I always requested to be added to the game but now support for the game has been officially ended by DICE/EA so yeah. It was unlikely anyway since not that many people were making that request.
Mandalorian armors are quite good looking, so it was a smart design choice.
Tha k you for using Freedom Units
I would take the DC-15s carbine, phase 2 armor, the thermal detonator, emp grenade, and the backpack.
For the Republic!
Being from America that "Freedom units" thing damn near made me choke on my drink I was laughing so hard 🤣
When the Separatists have oil
Probably my favorite clone wars era weapon is the z-6 rotary cannon, it basically a space chain gun that looks dope asf
Phase 2 Clone Armour is definitely THE BEST looking armour in the galaxy
🤔 . . . Before the standardizations that came with the Clone Wars & the following conflicts, what were the various ‘standard issues’ for planetary security forces & such?
There's no way that armor was 88 pounds. That's heavier than Medieval plate.
Exactly my thoughts how could they possibly move so fluidity with it weighing that much, doesn’t matter how strong you are that’s way too heavy for sustained use
@@huntermann_1838 Because dave filoni hates following lore and has made star wars worse. why do you think clones are so slow in the movies?
Yep. Stormtrooper armour is better in various ways ya know. One of them being that they were flexible, and they used less plastoid (despite this the armour design itself was better at saving lives) which meant they were using a strong material but had fast moving troops
Yeah, makes sense they made a Phase 2.
@@sabersroommate8293 But Phase 2 was quite cruddy apparently, and still had a very similar design (and thus many of the glaring flaws) as Phase 1.
Thanks for the great info man. Any chance of covering the gear of ARC troopers? Or Clone Commandos?
I thought that was a joint on the top right of the thumbnail 💀
Best video I ever watched??
Half way through the clone wars Lucas arts realized they only way they could charge for new action figures was to update the clones armors. Hence phase two
I want my kit back. 😩
Basically a clone of the most badass mandolorian during that era and was given advance training, might be the only time the galaxy seen an army worthy of a galactic warfare
All clones where issued there own martyrdom bombs
I would love to see this with the B1 battle droids
"88 lbs in freedom units"
Did I just get cut in half by a lightsaber, cause I'm fucking dead XD
A lot of people sure love their unique Vitruvian Men.
7:24 i just noticed that the clone's hand is clipping through his rifle
Which clone? Do you have the slightest idea of how little that narrows it down?
@@davidvasquez08 the one in the center of the screen
@@cortanatheai6103 ok
Please take a look at ark arf and clone commando as well as clone assassin load outs please
old republic troops or stormtroopers if you haven't done them yet
Cool ideo
i really prefer the look of the phase 1 armor over the look of phase 2.
40kilograms/88 pounds for clone armor?
that's literally impossible that's double the weight of a medieval heavy armor. And since we saw them move so freely, it has to be lighter, around 10 kilograms maybe. but except this excellent content about the grand army of the republic.
A knight in plate armor would be around that weight.
Well, I’d like to assume that the clones were extremely fit. That’s my head-canon, however. But realistically, it’s not unbelievable. The average marine soldier will carry around 100 pounds as of 2003 when the standard weight of equipment worn by one had been newly established. Also, you have to realize, clone armor was worn all over the body while marines is not. Yes 90 pounds sounds like a lot but when you disperse it all over your body, it’s really not that bad. Weight is a factor in slowness but properly distributing weight is also a factor. Let’s assume the chest weighed 32 pounds, 13 pounds in front and 19 in the back as the back of clone armor had the life support, that’s about the same weight of a Kevlar vest with plates in front and back. That’s about 60 pounds left to disperse. Let’s assume the helmet is 10 pounds. That’s about 12 pounds left to distribute evenly onto your limbs. It sounds like a lot, which it is if you go home and try to lift a 12 pound weight with your arm. But like I said, distributing weight matters. Clones wouldn’t feel that 12 pounds of weight all on your hand. It would be on your forearm, biceps, and back of hand. If you factor that in, wrap a 6 pound weight evenly distributed on your bicep, a 5 pound weight in your forearm, and 1 pound on the back of your hand. It feels much better doesn’t it?
@@jakewalsh1029 yeah but the 100 pounds include backpack, weaponry and extra ammunition. And what bothers me it's that a marine is never seen running fast like clone always does for literal hours, and rolling, having flexibility in combat and being able to basically do anything without a sweat. I know they're kinda on steroids but if the armor was really that heavy then the representation of clone troopers in clone wars and films doesn't look this way.
@@revan22 well sure but that “weaponry” and backpack and extra ammo are extremely light. Even carrying 200 pounds of extra 5.56 ammo won’t be too much more than 6 or 7 pounds and that’s going to be on your chest which 6-7 more pounds on your chest while wearing a fully kitted Kevlar vest won’t feel much different. The weapon is also not that heavy so it won’t hinder them and it’s also slung around them usually. I could hold an AR-15 with my middle finger and thumb on the buttstock. Holding an M4 is not difficult at all as they’re extremely light. Same with the rucksack. Having a decent rucksack that isn’t heavy isn’t unimaginable. But remember, placement of weight on your body makes a difference. Marines carry stuff in their backpack, that is true. However, we can assume safely that that extra weight can be dispersed onto a clone body as clones wear full armor unlike marines who only wear chest and helmet. Yes the marine’s load out includes extra things that clones wouldn’t carry but at the same time, clones armor is much more extensive and the weight won’t be as much of a nuisance since it is evenly dispersed among all four limbs.
Now for the physical capabilities. Yes. Clones have somewhat of superhuman physical capabilities. If you don’t mind, I’ll be pulling my evidence from legends as I’m currently reading “hard contact” which is a legends book. However, if you have a problem with using legends, just ignore what I say here. Clones were expected to be able to run 40 kilometers. With or without gear was never specified. Having that kind of endurance is insane. Clones being able to run for extended durations is thanks to not only that, but their enhanced genetics allowing them better endurance. It’s also nice that you brought up sweating for clones. In the novel, it actually talks about the clone armor climate control. It automatically cools you down if your body heat gets too high. However, at the same time, it did mention that darman’s climate control systems had trouble keeping him cool after he ran about 400 meters.
Also, I’ve never seen a clone run for literal hours in any Star Wars media I’ve seen/read at least not in full armor. Clones being able to sprint for short amounts of time is the only thing I’ve seen. They walk mostly when it’s for extended periods of time like on umbara. As for rolling, if you’re talking about battlefront m, that’s probably game mechanics. I never thought too deeply about a game. If you’re talking about the clone wars, like I said, dispersion of the weight of armor makes a difference. You also have to realize that most marines, even the fittest ones, aren’t as fit as clones. And you have to realize, most combat footage we see from marines are already when they’ve been in Afghanistan’s heat for hours. Clones don’t have to worry about heat exhaustion. Same for flexibility in combat. Realistically, clones only had to feel the chest armor. The armor on the limbs and head were very minuscule. If you can properly maneuver with 30 pounds in your chest, you’re fine.
Also, this is just my head-canon but I’d like to assume that the kaminoans augmented how easily adrenaline is created in clones so that adrenaline basically comes anytime they see an enemy so they can perform all of these crazy stunts. After all, having adrenaline to accomplish superhuman feats is the only reason why they let clones not be sterile.
Do a video covering the load out of the clone commandos
Wat Tambor (while playing his sick beats) THE TECHNO UNION is at your disposal, Count.
[Proceeds to make the entire republic arsenal]
can we just talk about how tragic the story of clones were?
The very thing they were born to hate, Battle droids, we’re exactly like them. Forced and made just for war, both with their own identification number, personality and emotions. Both were just used as pointless soldiers for a pointless war. Only soon were they exploited, with the clones chips forcing them to turn on the only people in the galaxy who gave a shit about them, or in the droids case, being droids were forced to just stop and fall, shutting down. They never got the thing they thought they would get.
All the time they spent with their Jedi generals, the same man who had been with Cody all those years, Kenobi, and all Cody did was just order a ATTE gunner to fire him down. All he had to say about it was
“ Couldn’t I have shot him before I gave him the bloody lightsaber? “
Then jag, without hesitation, without even a single thought, shot down the same man who cared for his clones more than anything else in the damn galaxy.
You really start to think, “ We’re the droids really more savage than the clones? “
And if you did, the answer would be no.
But that’s not because the droids were evil, they never were.
It’s just that the clones and droids the whole time were both the people in the right.
Hey here’s a little idea for a video that I think you could do one day what if the separatist drafted human and near human soldiers instead of using the droid army
I would like to make a video request of you... In the past you have discussed many of the aspects of the various lightsaber forms (and even did a video for each recently), but I made a discovery while commenting on your recent form 7 video... Would you please consider doing a video that compares form 7 and form 2?... specifically how the two might relate in evolution from 2 to 7 (similarities), and in combat against each other (how would any differences between the two likely impact each other).
PS: A with and without Vaapad explanation would also be appreciated. :)
you can see it in umbara ark and in season 2 episode one i think clones can only see in the dark through a visor and not just like that
A weapon is not the most important thing a warrior can have you need heart and intellect without those weapons r not very useful
Having heart don't mean nothing if it gets shot you need a weapon too.
Idk. You seen the ASVAB test for the military? You only need a 38 to get into the Army when i took it
I'll tell you a secret. They almost definitely would have carried secret snacks, soft drinks and wet wipes on their utility pouches as well.
Can you do a video on the ARC trooper gear load out, as well as a clone commando load out??
What about the standard Republic Officer/Non- Clone package? That could be neat.
3:31 that's really interesting
can you do a guide on clone sergeants?
Finally
Phase 2 armour layout with pure beskar mandalorian armour would be nice 👌
It would but beskar is rare and it would be hard for the droids to be able to injure or kill the clones.
@@shadowslayer9988 who said it was for the clones
Rebel Trooper Loadout:
A gun (anything they can grab)
Boots
Shirts/vests
More guns
Nice thumbnail haha
What were the turtle shell helmets and why did they wear them?
My biggest question is how did they stay hydrated in the field?
Ah yes, all you’ll ever need when you have to kill clankers with the homies.
Did the armor protect against sand getting in?
Never knew their armor was that heavy.
Can you do a video on stormtroopers
If they had Besker armour they’d kick more ass but too rare/expensive
So bassicly rex has Op armour
Can you do this for clone commandos
9:12-9:23: And yet for some strange reason we didn't see any of these guys until Season 6 of The Clone Wars. Weird.
Phase 2 armor was actually mor protective than Phase 1
