So, THAT Clone X trooper...

is 100% definitely, undoubtedly Tech, yeah?

I mean, physically/literally:

His accent is different under the voice modulation

I stg those pained grunts as he lifted the stones were pure Tech

He runs in Creature Posture

The pocketses

He still doesn't give a fuck about following orders

But also narratively:

The lingering closeups whenever he's about to act in regard to the Batch. Is it consideration? Hesitation? They sure want us to wonder.

The story's repeated emphasis on Crosshair being able to anticipate his moves, and the way they match each other beat for beat the whole way down.

The fucking intimacy of the way he almost kills Crosshair. I mean the whole physicality of the fight, but especially the way Clone X had to stare into his eyes while he drowned him.

Why, as a writer, would you waste those story beats on someone who had no personal significance to the Batch? You just wouldn't.

If Clone X-2 isn’t Tech, then the writers are playing a cruel joke on us. You can’t tell me all the similarities/parallels aren’t intentional.

-“Why have I been activated?” (Pretty sure these guys aren’t programmed to question why they’re being sent on a mission.)

-CX-2 has fancy gadgets/tech that the other assassins didn’t. (The thing on his arm = Data Pad 2.0)

-His speech patterns are similar to Tech’s—he definitely doesn’t sound like a reg.

-He’s clearly very intelligent, thinks outside the box, and is adept at improvising.

-After having a ton of rocks dumped on him, he begins limping on the same leg as Tech’s broken femur.

-His grunt sounds exactly like Tech’s.

-He blatantly disobeys orders.

-He‘s fallen from a significant height twice.

-When he crawls out of the water in 3x07, the scene and his animation are identical to when Tech crawls out of the water in 2x09.

I’m not going to outright say it’s Tech, but if it’s not, then someone went out of their way to lead us all astray. For those of us who desperately want Tech to be alive, it’s a cruel way of getting our hopes up only to let us down.

So from what I can tell, the imperial clone assassin theories can be summarized as this:

Happy Bad Batch Eve. Let the anxiety for the next two episodes begin.
