History[]
Before the creation of the 212th Attack Battalion, Obi-Wan originally led a squad of ARC Troopers known as the "Muunilinst 10" led by ARC Captain Fordo, but Kenobi later received orders after his first promotion during the war for having a new Clone Commander (CC-2224; "Cody").
Fate[]
The 212th Attack Battalion fought in many battles during the Clone Wars, though the unit soon became dissolved once Order 66 was issued to Commander Cody on the inner-core planet of Utapau.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (original-style Clone Wars).
Appearance[]
The battalion has orange markings for the Clones assigned to the battalion, and yellow markings for their unique desert camo Phase 1 ARF Scout armor, to whom they've worn on Geonosis.
Trivia/Facts[]
Waxer and Boil inspired the design for the markings on Phase 2 212th Armor.
Ironically, the producers at Lucasfilm decided to have the 212th's markings colored after Obi-Wan Kenobi's hair. (To whom the battalion's markings derive from Obi-Wan's hair color.)
Hasbro originally referred to the Phase 2 212th Clone Trooper action figure as the "Utapau Clone Trooper" due to the fact that the 212th trademark name wasn't given until shortly after the figure's release.
The 212th Attack Battalion (aside from the 2nd Airborne Division) are loosely based on the 101st Airborne Division in the US Army, while their name derives from the 212th MP Co. as well as the 212th Rescue Squadron of the US Marine Corps. (The 104th Wolfpack Co. of Clone Troopers ironically resemble the 212th Rescue Squadron because of their countless rescue missions.)
