Delta Squad - Tumblr Posts
so there's this bloodthirsty sniper...
Fixer switching off bc he's excited about sifting through data, Scorch kicking Sev's seat to annoy him, Sev threatening to cut his foot off & Boss being so done w them.
Sergeant Vau w Delta squad shooting some Geos. I like that he is a tad bit taller than them.
I quite like how he turned out, might repaint Rav next.
OMG Deltas 😍 I miss giving them bacta 🧡💚❤️💛
Had the absolute pleasure of working with @barbaricyawn for the Star Wars prequels big bag event organised by @swprequels-big-bang! Please check out his fic: Field Trip
I miss him 🥲 Sending Sev to get bacta & hearing him say "ahhhh much better" in that gravely psycho demon voice of his, was one of the best parts of that game
What if I told y’all that sev is secretly my favorite?🤭
About Sev & Delta squad, Traviss couldn't use them much in the Imperial Commando book because a second game was in development at the time.
Game developers said they were planning for Sev to join the Rebellion & have a reformed Delta squad meet up with him as Imperial Commandos but that game got canceled when the merge happened.
For reasons still unknown, Bad Batch writers added Scorch as a straw antagonist, then killed him for no reason. This effectively also killed off most possibilities that Delta squad as a whole will be seen again in canon, though other individual members Boss, Fixer & Sev could be seen in other media.
Personally, after what they did with Scorch in new canon, I don't want them touching Deltas with a ten ft. pole.
I was talking with one of my best friends about Star Wars characters being brought back and the possibility that Tech might return in a future work, and realized that even though TBB has ended, Star Wars has a really high track record of bringing back characters in other works, set after their supposed "death." Basically, no one ever comes back in the same movie/show/work they "died" in:
Maul: "died" in The Phantom Menace, brought back in The Clone Wars.
Gregor: "died" in The Clone Wars, brought back quite some time later in Rebels (and The Bad Batch, which comes first chronologically)
Echo: "died" in The Clone Wars, brought back SEVERAL YEARS LATER in the seventh season (I'm counting this as a separate show because it was not continuous - the show was revived)
Boba Fett: "died" in Return of the Jedi, brought back in The Mandalorian. DECADES LATER.
Asajj Ventress: "died" (died? like actually?) in Dark Disciple, brought back in The Bad Batch
Palpatine: somehow Palpatine returned
I feel like I'm missing some, but you get the point. The only ones I can think of who have died and come back in the same series are Ahsoka in Rebels and Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian.
There are also a couple characters whose fates have been left purposely open in order to have the possibility of bringing them back. Sev from Republic Commando is one who comes to mind. He is left behind in a war zone on a mission, and while Karen Traviss (author of the RepComm books) wanted to continue his story in a novel, Star Wars told her no because they wanted to keep plans open for Sev at a later time. We haven't gotten any additional Sev content yet, but his fate still isn't sealed.
Another is Mace Windu. I know George Lucas was like "he is dead for sure" but fans really want him back and so does Samuel L Jackson. I can see George changing his mind. Windu is a badass and beloved by fans. Another character who "fell," no body no death, and people are pretty adamant about getting him back because they liked him so much.
What I am trying to say is that Tech is a fan-favorite character whose story felt unfinished to many viewers. I'd say most of us were waiting every episode of season 3 for him to return, and the writers know that. Jennifer Corbett is on twitter and is very aware that "Tech Lives" is a huge thing in the Bad Batch fandom.
There are more animated works planned, as well: we know that Omega will likely appear again as an adult. There's like a 95% chance that a clone rebellion series is in the works, considering that they set it up in The Bad Batch. And Nika Futterman has hinted that Ventress will be appearing in future works. Tech could (and SHOULD) be brought back in any of these!
So yeah.... TECH LIVES
This reminds me of when Boss is sick & Sev complains because he can hear him coughing over comms.
I've had a really miserable week. Cried a lot of tears. Lost a lot of sleep. Sickness is running through my home again. So, in light of that, have these little snippets from a sick fic I was working on as a gift. Featuring our favorite grumpy duo: Echo and Crosshair. Because they always make me feel better.
Sick of You
draft title bc it made me laugh
Echo pressed the back of his hand to Crosshair's forehead only for it to be slapped away with a grumble. He repressed a sigh at this ridiculous bundle of blankets on the bunk, instead sitting back in the chair to observe him.
Fever, congestion, body aches, stuffy nose. Average cold, nothing to worry about. However the rest of the batch had tasked him with watching over Crosshair while they went on the supply run. That might be the scariest mission Echo has ever taken on.
Amidst the mountain of blankets was Crosshair, bundled up and curled underneath at least four of them. Technically he should rearrange him, make him drink some water, get some hot food in his stomach, but it had been bad enough just getting him off to bed in the first place.
There was a ridiculous little pout to Crosshair's face that reminded Echo of a cadet. Grumpy from not feeling well coupled with being stuck in a confined space. Crosshair didn't do sick well, Echo realized. It was the first time he'd seen any of the batch sick and boy oh boy was it quite the introduction.
...
“Do you want me to tuck you in?” Echo asked with a grin. If looks could kill. Crosshair huffed irritably, folding his blankets tighter around himself and deliberately turning away from Echo. With a shake of his head Echo took pity, finally standing from his seat and giving a gentle pat to the grumpy bundle before making his way towards the cockpit. “Yell if you're dying." He was nearly all the way there before a muffled voice called out.
"You don't have to sit in the cockpit, ya know." It came out scratchy, stuffy, and Echo couldn't help but turn around to consider the man that had done everything but bite him in thanks for all the doting. Regardless, he easily took his seat at the bedside again, grabbing his datapad and leaning back.
“I'll be right here if you need me.” Echo assured. There were a few reports he could knock out while he kept watch. Truthfully he preferred to be in the same room as someone else but was simply surprised that Crosshair didn't want to hide for the duration of an illness. Maybe the silence would allow his prickly patient a nap. Echo would be able to go fix them something hot to drink and maybe coax Cross out of bed. There was this really simple soup recipe Fives used to love. The batch might be able to find some ingredients in town.
Crosshair let out a sneeze, face pinching as if he had a personal vendetta against it. If Crosshair could physically fight the common cold he might. He'd lose but he'd throw a few punches for sure. Echo let the datapad lay on his lap, still reading over the words in front of him, then absentmindedly smoothed his hand over the blankets.
“Shut up.” Crosshair muttered. How disgruntled could one man truly be over a cold? Over someone trying to care for him during that cold? He didn't remove his hand, just found Crosshair's shoulder to give it a good squeeze before continuing slow strokes over his arm.
"Didn't say anything." Echo continued to smile at his datapad, having to bite back a laugh at the glare being aimed at him.
"You're thinking it. I can hear you from here." Crosshair complained.
I still cannot get over the fact that he didn’t take Fixer, Boss & Scorch out there with him. Like
Also also, Bad Batch writers who put Scorch in just as a straw villain & didn't feature Sev in the Kashyyyk episode what. the. actual. fuck.

Fixer is pleased w his work lol
Am I the only one who has wanted a clone parody version of this meme? Hnnn oh well, abused photoshop and made it anyway.
Wrecker and Scorch arm wrestling:
*Wrecker and Scorch are arm wrestling*
Wrecker: *pretending to loose* ooh, ooh, JUST KIDDING
*He legit slams Scorch through a wall*
Crosshair: *leaping to his feet* YES, THAT'S HOW IT FEELS
*everyone stares at him*
Crosshair: I'm just a huge fan of the sport
Tech and Scorch:
Tech: *reading a datapad* I've read studies that suggest that the type of weather actually makes the day last longer
Scorch: *bored out of his mind* there must be a hell of a storm somewhere
For a while, I only had this figure of Scorch and not the Black Series one, but this one was... a bit small, to go with his brothers.
