Hemlock: I鈥檓 just testing if children can have self-replicating midichlorians. And conveniently, I also hate this child. *holds up a holo of Omega*
The Senate: That鈥檚 a crime.
Hemlock: No, it鈥檚 science!
The Senate: Those are not mutually exclusive.

The Mystery of CX-2's Rifles (A Remnant of CX-Tech Theory or a Fun Headcanon?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not sure if I'm the first person to point this out, but CX-2 has two different rifles in "The Bad Batch" Season 3. I'm not sure if this was a choice by the creators/animators to help CX-2 stand out more, or if this is a remnant of the CX-Tech theory.
Let me explain:
The first time we see CX-2 in 3.06 "Infiltration," we see him use what I'll call the black rifle.
Tumblr media
It's an all-black military-style rifle, and it's the exact same model that Crosshair uses.
Throughout the show, we see how Crosshair can take the "base model" out of his backpack and then add his scope, a longer barrel and other accessories to it. CX-2 does the same thing.
Now, CX-2 loses this black rifle in 3.07 "Extraction" during his fight with Crosshair, who shoots it out of his hand while they're on the cliffs. Then they go tumbling down the river, and CX-2 ultimately goes over the waterfall.
It's unclear whether CX-2 ever goes back for his black rifle, because the next time we see him armed in 3.11 "Point of No Return," he's using what I'll call the brown rifle.
Tumblr media
Like the black one, it has a base model that CX-2 can add little accessories to like a scope and a longer barrel. However it is distinct from the black one. The butt is different in shape and color -- it's specifically brown and almost looks like it's made of wood with a little circular symbol on the side.
Even the barrel looks different too. I think it's longer than the black one's, and considering some of the shots CX-2 makes on Pabu, I wonder if it's better for super-long-range shooting.
You can also briefly see him carrying the brown one in his backpack when he drops Omega off on Tantiss in 3.12 "Juggernaut."
Now, it makes sense that, if CX-2 didn't go back for his black rifle on Teth after 3.07, that he'd need a replacement gun.
But why give him a different-looking one? Why not just give him the same model of gun? Why give him a second and very distinct gun from the first? Doesn't that just make more work for the animators?
Now, here's where it really gets interesting:
CX-2 is using the brown rifle in the hangar fight in 3.15 "The Cavalry Has Arrived." He's also carrying the brown rifle when Echo sees the CX operatives carting the defeated Bad Batch away.
Tumblr media
BUT when he accompanies Hemlock to the CX lab, where he later dies, he's carrying a black rifle instead. This is the one Hunter picks up after killing CX-2, and this is the one Crosshair uses during the final confrontation with Hemlock.
(Side note: YouTuber Cardo assembled all of CX-2's appearances, and you can easily track when he's using the two different rifles.)
youtube
My question is: Why does CX-2 have his black rifle in the CX lab when he was just using the brown one during the hangar fight? When and why did he switch them out?
Even if the brown one was better for super-long-range shooting, why did he have it in the hangar fight at all, considering the Bad Batch was never than 100 yards away at any given point? He wouldn't need to make insane shots like he did on Pabu, when he sniped his own pilot from like a quarter-mile away.
Shoot, he barely even used his rifle at all in the hangar fight!
He shot at Hunter one time, and then let the other operatives handle the majority of the fight. We don't see him again until he chops off Crosshair's hand, and then his rifle is in his backpack!
So, why was he using a different rifle in the CX lab when he dies? Well, here are the only two explanations I can think of:
1. CX-2 has two different guns because something happened during the Season 3 production process.
Maybe it was a mistake on the animators' part. This happens from time to time. If you watch scenes enough, you'll notice things like characters' backpacks missing in one shot but reappearing in the next. Animators are human, and if anything little mistakes like that just prove this show wasn't made by AI or some shit.
Perhaps CX-2 having two different rifles is a remnant of some plotline that got scrapped. Maybe there were, at one point, two operatives who used two different guns, and they cobbled them together. Or scenes that were already animated got shuffled around in the editing room.
It's also possible the animators had to work backwards from the final confrontation with Hemlock. Maybe that scene where Crosshair is using CX-2's black rifle was already animated and "locked in." Thus, when things got reshuffled, they had to work backwards from there and had CX-2 use his black rifle in the CX lab.
Admittedly, this is all complete speculation, but based on how several other things were handled in Season 3, I wouldn't be surprised if some fairly big items were changed last-minute.
OR
2. CX-2 is a petty bitch.
This is basically a headcanon, but it would fit with the little we know of his character:
For whatever reason, CX-2 has this weird rivalry with Crosshair. He actually engages him in conversation, which we've never really seen the CX clones do: "You had your chance to be one of us. You chose the wrong side"
Then takes note of him on Pabu: "And the clones she's with?" ... "Stay alert. I neutralized the other two clones with her, but not the third."
And, of course, he seems to take a great deal of pleasure in torturing Crosshair in the hangar fight: "You should be more careful with your shooting hand."
We don't see it, but evidently, Hemlock told the CX operatives to bring in the Bad Batch alive if possible so he could try turning them into CX operatives. But, despite that, CX-2 thought Hemlock wouldn't care if he chopped off Crosshair's shooting hand EVEN THOUGH HE IS A SNIPER!!!
(Yes, I know they have robot hands and stuff, but I can't imagine Hemlock was thrilled to see that his operatives had just needlessly chopped off Crosshair's shooting hand, which not only de-valued him as a potential operative but maybe also endangered his life??? "Last time we met, you'd just lost a member of your squad, and it appears history may repeat itself.")
Anyway, what I'm saying is CX-2 saw Crosshair in that hangar and said, "This shit is personal." He was out for blood, quite literally.
So, considering that Crosshair's rifle was nearby when they defeated him, and considering it's the same type of rifle we see CX-2 using in the CX lab when he dies, I wouldn't be surprised if he took Crosshair's rifle as a trophy.
Meaning that when Hunter kills CX-2 and picks up the black rifle and gives it to Crosshair for the final confrontation with Hemlock, Crosshair is actually using his own gun.
Tumblr media
Granted, this would mean that CX-2 had to go back to the hangar or wherever to grab Crosshair's rifle, because no one seems to have it on them when Echo sees the defeated Bad Batch in the hallway. But, I just can't find a logical reason for CX-2 to suddenly have the black rifle in the CX lab when he's been using the brown one just fine the last two or three times we've seen him.
Even if the black rifle is better at mid- or close-range shooting -- which doesn't seem to be the case because it's the one Crosshair "Best Sniper in the GAR" BadBatch uses -- I imagine he could still use the brown one's base model just fine, just like he does with the black one's base model.
It really makes sense to me that he stole Crosshair's rifle and kept it as a trophy.
Maybe the black model is somehow better than the brown one, and he was pissed that Crosshair made him lose his black one on Teth so he returned the favor.
Other than weirdness with the animation/production process (which isn't impossible) that's the best explanation I have.
So, feel free to accept this headcanon for yourselves. I just wanted to throw it out there because it's been bothering me all day! Let me know if y'all have any thoughts on this, because I'd love to hear what other people think about all this...

Scalder: Everything was completely fine and going well when I was in charge of this mountain. No issues, and I wasn鈥檛 forced to be a babysitter. Then Dr. Hemlock and Dr. Karr come along out of nowhere and all of a sudden I鈥檓 subject to their orders. Especially Dr. Karr, she鈥檚 too lenient on the specimens. And Hemlock lets her do whatever she wants. They claim to have everything under control but things just seem to get worse. I should just be put back in charge and make things right again around here. Shouldn鈥檛 I be responsible for more as a head medical officer? Baryn: *coos and waves around his toy after getting his blood drawn by the medical droid* Scalder: *groans and wonders why she鈥檚 ranting to a child*

Dr. Hemlock: Dr. Karr, what are Omega's results?
Emerie: Her blood sample yielded a favorable M-Count replication.
Dr. Hemlock: As expected.
Omega: What does that mean?
Dr. Hemlock: I'll show you.
...
Dr. Hemlock: Did you know an individual's M-Count can not be directly replicated? Attempts have been made, but each time, the levels degraded. And so we experimented.
Omega: Where are you taking me?
Dr. Hemlock: The vault. We tried various methods, mixing samples from our other test subjects, yet nothing worked... until we combined your sample with one of our M-Count specimens. You are a vital piece to our work here, Omega.
Omega: Who are they?
Dr. Hemlock: They are the rest of the puzzle. And this, this is your new home.

TBB finale spoilers below鈥硷笍
Ok鈥hat the flip
Don鈥檛 get me wrong, I am very happy that the batch made it out alive and I鈥檓 honestly shocked that Dave gave us a happy ending, but I have so many unanswered questions!!
Who was CX-2?? They made a seemingly big deal about him in particular and didn鈥檛 even show the others until the finale.
How do Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor get together?
What makes Rex lose hope in fighting against the Empire leading up the Rebels?
What happened to Cody??
What was up with Hemlock鈥檚 left hand?
Is Omega force sensitive??

You have to hand it to the voice actor of Hemlock. There's something about his voice that sounds smooth and silky. It makes him sound clam and collect, like Thrawn.
