Okay, so I initially ruled out Tech as being CloneX because he is clearly the same height as Wolffe. According to my Clone Wars encyclopedia, Tech is 6'4" (1.93 meters).

However, the Starwars.com databank has now updated his height to be 5'11" (1.82m).

Now, I've always thought that Tech looked shorter than Crosshair. But he does have massive feet compared to the other shorter clones, and he slouches a lot. Also, the animators aren't very consistent with how they draw height, so I took the original encyclopedia as fact, despite what my eyes were telling me.

However, if his height has been recanonized as just a wee bit taller than Hunter, the top image still tracks. The fact that his accent is noticeably different from the other clones also lends itself to the Tech theory.

On the other hand, it would surprise me if Crosshair didn't know that Tech went through the program, since he was there too. Also, I'm not sure Tech would beat Crosshair quite so handily...but Cody would have made short work of him. But then there was THAT LINE (you could have been one of us, you chose the wrong side), which could go either way, but it be so poetic if it was Tech.

They called the CloneX's "Shadows". I think they broadly illustrate what happens when the clones make the dark and unehtical choices. A shaddow version of the clones. I believe that the last CloneX we saw was not Tech, but a shadow version of Tech. Not his body in that suit, but some other reg. They are just kind of lurking all over the place.

I think we didn't see this CloneX's face because in that instance he represented Tec and Crosshair's dark sides at different times. While fighting in the river CloneX said to Crosshair "You had your chance to be one of us…You chose the wrong side." This feels like what Crosshair said to Hunter at the end of S1 and what he clung to until he chose his brothers over the Empire.

The drowning was very symbollic too - Star Wars Explained likened it to baptism and I can't believe I didn't see it in the moment. His old self died and he was reborn. I felt his old self/shadow self nearly killed him, but Crosshair was saved by his family when Howzer stunned CloneX.

Yes, I saw parallels between Tech's experiences and CloneX - having his leg (and everything else) crushed, going through the water and down a waterfall, being shot at by Crosshair when he is climbing (like while in the ion engine in S1), falling…I saw it, but I felt it was more along the lines of comparing their choices. It illustrated parallels between their experiences and the outcomes.

Tech made sacrifices for his family, and was (except for his last sacrifice) taken care of by his family. Loved and missed. Nobody is missing these CloneX guys. The Batch is all greiving for Tech. This CloneX guy went through all the same things with dark solitary motivations and no one was there for him at the end. No one. His communicator did not even work. Even Wolffe just took off with his squad without a thought about him.

This past Saturday, a slew of OpenSea users found that their accounts had been hacked. Rumors that $200 million worth in NFTs had been stolen quickly circulated, and OpenSea users flocked on Twitter asking for support and clarification.
