One of our favorite secondary characters from the first season of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" is Howzer, the conflicted clone captain from the "Devil's Deal" and "Rescue on Ryloth" episodes.
Stationed on the planet Ryloth to assist the Twi'leks in maintaining peace, his arc had him initially siding with the Imperial backers before shifting to the Resistance effort. Unaffected by the customary clone inhibitor chip, Howzer was able to show individualism and question authority.
Howzer was eventually arrested by Crosshair's troops, but not before assisting the family of Hera Syndulla, who would go on to fame as the incomparable pilot of the Ghost, call sign Spectre 2.
With teal blue Phase II armor and DC-17 and DC-15A weapons, Howzer stands out with a distinctive look. Photographs perhaps don't best capture our effort to re-create him, but we managed to paint a blank Phase II helmet, as well as a torso and legs.
My building partner was thrilled with the result -- despite needing some tweaks here and there -- and so was I. We're hoping this memorable character makes further appearances in subsequent "Bad Batch" seasons so we can make additional builds involving him.
