On the outskirts of Nabat, Obi-Wan Kenobi ordered Cody to take Boil and Waxer and scout ahead for enemy activity. When they seperated from Cody and Wooley, they found a young female Twi'lek named Numa. Waxer wanted to take her with them, but Boil reminded him what would happen if she came. Numa looked terrified and Waxer tried to calm her down by taking off his helmet, to show that he is not a droid. Then Boil gave Numa a ration bar. After eating the bar, Numa called Waxer and Boil "nerra" (a Twi'lek word from brother). Just as they were about to leave, a recon droid flew by to spy on Obi-Wan and the other clone troopers.

Revision as of 19:50, 11 March 2012

Waxer was one of the most prominent clone troopers of Ghost Company, fighting in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He was placed under the command of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody. He was commonly seen fighting alongside Boil, and participated in the Battle of Ryloth, the Second Battle of Geonosis, and the Battle of Umbara.

Appearance

Being a member of Ghost Company, Waxer bore many yellow markings on his Phase I Clone Trooper Armor. A yellow streak ran down the midsection of his helmet. In battle, he wielded a DC-15S Blaster.

Waxer's phase II armor sported similar markings, however, like Boil, an illustration of Numa was added to the side of his helmet.

Innocence of Ryloth

"We should do something. I say we take her with us"
―Waxer, talking about Numa[src]

Waxer was involed in the Battle of Ryloth to help free the Twi'leks from the Separatist leader Wat Tambor. The 212th Battallion was lead by Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody, who were ordered to take out the proton cannons in the city of Nabat, to let Mace Windu and the other Republic forces get through.

On the outskirts of Nabat, Obi-Wan Kenobi ordered Cody to take Boil and Waxer and scout ahead for enemy activity. When they seperated from Cody and Wooley, they found a young female Twi'lek named Numa. Waxer wanted to take her with them, but Boil reminded him what would happen if she came. Numa looked terrified and Waxer tried to calm her down by taking off his helmet, to show that he is not a droid. Then Boil gave Numa a ration bar. After eating the bar, Numa called Waxer and Boil "nerra" (a Twi'lek word from brother). Just as they were about to leave, a recon droid flew by to spy on Obi-Wan and the other clone troopers.

After the recon droid flew past them, they continued their scouting, with Numa following them behind. But soon Numa lead Waxer and Boil to her home in Nabat. As they entered, Numa started to tear up. Then Numa hugged Waxer and Boil. Commander Cody contacted them via comlink. When they saw it, Boil told Waxer that they'll be polishing astromech droids if they can't explain it. When Waxer, Boil, and Numa a group of Guttkurs found them, Boil ordered Waxer to get back into the house.

Numa took Boil and Waxer through the tunnels, starting with the ones at her home. But once they met Cody, Obi-Wan and the rest of Ghost Company asked where they were. Obi-Wan saw what side tracked them from the mission and understood. Waxer told General Kenobi that Numa knew her way around the tunnels very well. Then Obi-Wan Kenobi ordered Cody and Ghost Comapny to be ready for the force of Wat Tambor's droid army.

Waxer and Boil

Obi-Wan ordered Cody to create a diversion, while he takes Numa, Waxer, and Boil through the holding area, where the Guttkurs were being held. Then Obi-Wan ordered Waxer and Boil to come with him. Numa wanted to follow but Waxer told to stay put and be quiet. Cody and Ghost Company began their attack against TX-20 and the battle droids. While TX-20 was busy, Obi-Wan, Waxer, and Boil destroyed the battle droids around the Twi'leks. Then Obi-Wan started to slice off the cuffs from the Twi'lek's hands. A battle droids spotted the captured Twi'leks escaping. TX-20 turned his AAT around and started to fire at them. Once the all the Twi'leks escaped, Obi-Wan told Waxer and Boil to help destroy the proton cannons. Obi-Wan fired at a cannon with his own, and the others too, but they were already destroyed. TX-20 fired at his proton cannon, which destroyed it, and throwing Waxer, Boil, and Obi-Wan across the ground. Numa ran over to Waxer to see if he was okay, then to Obi-Wan. Suddenly, TX-20 aimed his cannon at Obi-Wan and Numa, but just before he could fire, the Twi'leks jumped to him and turned him into scrap metal. Republic transports, lead by Mace Windu, landed, and the rest of the forces walked off the ships. Just as they left, Waxer and Boil asked what "nerra" means. He replied and said it meant "brother".

Landing at Point Rain

"Why do we always get the fun missions?"
―Waxer while attemptimg to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi

During the Second Battle of Geonosis, Cody ordered Waxer and Boil to rescue General Kenobi from a downed LAAT/i gunship, named Bad Kitty. When they reached the gunship, Waxer commented about how they always seem to get the fun jobs, but Boil corrected him a comment that getting back to the square will be the fun part. The two clone troopers open up the doors to the gunship and saw Kenobi and Trapper injuried, with dead clone troopers all around them. Waxer and Boil help the two injured men back to the square.

Carnage of Krell

"Tell me who gave you the orders to attack us. It…it was General Krell. *cough* He sent us to these coordinates to stop the enemy. We thought they were wearing our armor. *cough* But…it was…you…"
―Waxer to Captain Rex[src]

Waxer could be seen standing adjacent to Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi during the briefing session prior the the Battle of Umbara.

Throughout the Battle of Umbara, Waxer led his own platoon of 212th Attack Battalion clone troopers. He received a message from General Krell, saying that the Umbarans were using clone trooper armor to attack their enemies. Waxer and the rest of his platoon attacked Rex and the 501st. Rex checked the clone's helmets and found out they were clones, not Umbarans. He ordered everyone to take off their helmets and both sides realized that they were all clones and were turned against each other by Krell. Waxer, who was severely injured during the battle was confronted and interrogated by Rex. Waxer told them that Krell informed them that the Umbarans would be advancing at these coordinates. Waxer died shortly after. He preferred to die rather than live the rest of the war knowing he killed his fellow brothers.

Appearances

Facts

  • Waxer was the first character in the television series to shed a tear.
  • In the comic Slaves of the Republic, Waxer was the clone that reports to Kenobi during the mission to Kiros. Due to Waxer dying one episode earlier in Carnage of Krell, Waxer was replaced with Boil.
