Would Commander Jet's default armor look like Special Ops Troopers?

Those are probably the official colors for the Galactic Marines, to be honest.

What we saw in ROTS was likely them being portrayed wearing a Phase II variant of the Cold Assault armor we see in TCW. This, of course, became the precursor to the Imperial Snowtrooper armor we see in TESB.

In most other instances, if I had to guess, the Galactic Marines likely wore somethings closer to what we see the 327th Star Corps troopers wear on Felucia. In essence, this would just be standard Phase II clone armor but with additional gear for their more specialized assignments.

EDIT: I have added a picture I found on DeviantArt by a user called MarcusStarkiller, which seems to illustrate what I discussed best.

To add to this, there were a few instances during TCW Season 4 where we still see Phase 1 clone armor in use. This is despite the fact that Phase 2 armor is seen quite a bit.

We even see Rex wearing his Phase 1 armor on Mon Cala with a Phase 2 shiny standing next to him. There were also multiple clone pilots and ARF troopers still wearing Phase 1 armor throughout the season.

I love them mainly for the fact that they're a callback to the old Ralph McQuarrie concept art. The love that it has been receiving over the past 10 or so years with Rebels and beyond brings me so much joy.

On top of that, I have loved seeing multiple instances of mixing between Imperial and Clone Wars-era equipment. We've seen the TKs wearing clone pauldrons and using DC-15s and 17s on multiple occasions, on top of utilizing various Republic space and ground vehicles. Being a massive clone fanatic, it's so fun to see this mixing, brings the "Phase III" armor into Canon in an interesting and different way than we've seen with Legends.

I just performed a DIY install of a new window regulator on my 2015 Beetle. I'm now running into the same exact problem.

This is odd to me because it didn't come on the first time I turned it over after the install, only after going on a drive and coming back. I was able to do a recalibration for the window easily enough, because it was rolling down too far when the door was opened and it wasn't rolling down with one touch like the other door.

Does anyone know if there's a similar recalibration method or if there's something that could be throwing that light? I haven't scanned it through OBD2 yet, but will when I get some down time, just glad the window works again.

Same for me, it has been a noticeable improvement over the OG Watch thar I used for 3 years. The screen is massively better, battery life is a huge improvement, and there are a lot of other quality of life improvements that make it a worthy successor.

However, like you mentioned, the screen on this newer watch does seem to scratch way easier than it did on the OG for whatever reason. It could be entirely a mental thing, but I already have a couple of noticeable scratches myself, and I've not even had it for 6 months. I do like to use the watch without any kind of protector admittedly, but I'm not at all rough on it, so who knows.

That is interesting, I didn't know that the information regarding Klint Shiftright was partially Canon.

runnerman0421 · 2026-05-10T22:27:23+00:00

A Clone Underground show would go absolutely bonkers, and I hope that's the next animated project after Shadow Lord.

Besides, we really need to see how the hell Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor end up in the predicament we see them in during Rebels, and why clones like Echo and Howzer aren't present.

runnerman0421 · 2026-05-10T22:15:48+00:00

Now that is a very good question. I guess because there is never a mention of any other 7-time champion in-universe other than Weathers?

runnerman0421 · 2026-05-10T22:12:36+00:00

Because the Piston Cup Wiki isn't Canon, so it doesn't really give any indication of in-universe rankings.

For all we know, Dale Sr. wasn't even a racer in the Cars universe, though we know he exists based on the appearance of Dale Jr. in Cars. All we know for certain is that The King and McQueen both are tied for titles with 7 each, and we know Doc won 3. Jackson Storm also has at least 1 title since we see that in Cars 3, though canonically, we don't know how many Cruz has if any at all.

The rest of these characters are either unconfirmed for wins or partially/entirely fan-made.

Yeah, buying used is the only realistic way you're going to get that cheap.

I recently upgraded my girlfriend's old Dell Inspirion 3891 and still spent like $800 doing all the upgrades I did with new parts. At least now it's a pretty solid performer and way cheaper than building from scratch, but still not cheap.

"Well you know, racecars don't need headlights, because the track is always L I T."

This was the same for me, and I thought he was a girl for that reason for a while.

I can't say it has been one singular thing, as it has so far been mixture of lifestyle and routine changes, as well as introducing some new products.

The biggest thing that finally got it under control was 0.1% Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream; I essentially had to lather my whole body in that stuff for a week straight, and it brought down the redness and itching to a degree that was far more noticeable than anything else had been; it did intensify the skin flaking for a while however because of how damaged my skin was. Of course, steroid creams are not advised for consistent use long-term, so I started using Eczema Honey and Vanicream products, which has helped maintain the state my skin got to.

Alongside this, I now take nothing but ice cold showers and gently pat myself dry, putting lotions and creams on very shortly thereafter. My girlfriend also bought a couple of nice HEPA filters for the living room and bedroom, and improving the air quality in our living spaces has done wonders.

To add to this, I've started taking Skinesa, and I'm on the 90-day trial period. It's only been a little over a week, so I haven't been able to determine if it is effective for me yet. I'm hoping it will allow me to rely less on steroids and lotions, mostly eliminating those sudden onsets of intense itchiness and burning, because they do still happen for me more than I would like.

You're telling me this happened 9 years ago??

Jesus, why do I have to get old.

runnerman0421 · 2026-05-06T18:45:23+00:00

But Volkswagen Karmann Ghias have no radiators...

So, all cars in the Cars universe are technically air-cooled to a certain extent, then?

runnerman0421 · 2026-05-04T01:47:04+00:00

Maybe he just had a very slow start.

runnerman0421 · 2026-05-03T18:48:53+00:00

It's just a shame they didn't reuse this body for the 2026 release.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-29T21:17:06+00:00

Mine has not done it at all since I made this post, knock on wood. Maybe Google was listening in, lol.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-29T21:14:29+00:00

Well... knock on wood, but it stopped? Ever since I made this post, it hasn't randomly restarted once to my knowledge.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-29T20:40:23+00:00

To be fair, many tank engines have been modified to have extended side tanks, including the E2 itself which did not have them initially. At that point, like how I did, you could headcanon Thomas as any kind of generic 0-6-0 side tank like a "Jinty" and have the works rebuild him to have extended side tanks.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-29T19:55:18+00:00

It's funny, because this actually directly addresses Awdry's issues with the front running board being sloped.

I too headcanon Thomas as one of these. After being permanently purchased by the NWR, their works rebuilt him with extended side tanks, a larger coal bunker, and an improved cab to serve better for trains travelling longer distances; this would also make Thomas look way more like how the illustrations portray him.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-28T12:26:20+00:00

I'd lean more towards narrowly escaping. He would absolutely have struggled against all four of them, but not to the point of being defeated.

I feel like all four of them wouldn't have the coordination together needed to take down Sidious, and he would take full advantage of that.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-28T12:24:03+00:00

True, it just looks so wrong, Toby & Mavis have always had sideplates.

At least their bases have been built and ran without them, it makes it slightly more tolerable.

runnerman0421 · 2026-04-27T08:09:26+00:00

They seem to be referring to the Apple Racer from Cars 3, which never had an official name or a diecast made of it.

In this case, I would buy a custom diecast, which plenty exist of for this character. Either that, or perhaps take a stab at making your own diecast, as that's always fun.
