When someone leaves a comment on my fic and suddenly my desire to write comes back:
I'm actually thinking of making my own Clone OC. Any tips?
Sure, I can offer what I’ve got! I’m gonna try and separate this answer into a few sections, but here’s the image folder I have for all of my clone refs to start with-

I update this every now and then when needed, and I’ll be using images from there for this answer! There are many more named clones and image refs out there on the internet, don’t be afraid to google something if you need help!
Faces:
Clone’s (obviously) all have the same basic face shape (save for the Bad Batch, but I’m not gonna get into them for this).
They all have warm brown skin and wide/prominent noses. You can look up the live action actor for Jango (Temuera Morrison) for more IRL face references too if you need to. Hair customization, tattoos, facial hair and scarring can do A LOT to distinguish clones from each other. Hair can be dyed and cut however, so long as it fits in a helmet (like with Tup, he has long hair tied up into a tight bun.) Eyebrows are also customizable. Pluck them into a different shape, shave them off, dye them, have fun with it!
Armor:
Clone armor has a lot of room for customization as well. Clones can paint whatever they’d like on them, but if their squad/battalion or whatever has a specific color scheme then they’ll mostly stick with those colors
Looking up different kinds of clone armor for different situations/ranks is helpful too! This video does a breakdown of every type of clone trooper rank/type:

Names:
Clones are all given numbers at birth. To distinguish each other, they all give each other more unique names as they grow up. They can be named for a personality habit, a distinct moment from their training / any point in their life, or they can have normal sounding names like Gregor. It’s all preference, but some clones are stuck with a name that came from a reputation regardless of if they like it or not.
Here’s image compilations of some Clone Commanders/Captains/ARC troopers and more for examples:
Personality:
Clones are all unique individuals. They have varying personalities, likes/dislikes, habits, etc. Consider their backstory and experiences in training/on the field to help shape them, be sure to do your best to give your clones aspects of their personalities that make them feel like real and believable people!

There’s plenty more you can do for making your clones, but this post is just a rundown of the basics. I hope any of what I said here was helpful to you, and have fun making your clones!

Where’d he get the motorcycle? He was in a swamp when not miles in the air
“The challenge of being a Makuta is choosing which powers to use to destroy your enemies. It gets boring using the same ones all the time. Variety is the spice of destruction, after all.”
In a race of total jerks who, can barely stand eachother, he’s the one charismatic enough that he’s the only one amongst his kind that his brethren seem to grudgingly like.
He has a personal code of honor in regards to combat, and while he talks the propaganda well in trash-talk, in private he extols the virtues of the common man.
He learned to ride a motorcycle he found on a battlefield just for fun, when he’s a member of a race that can shape-shift and teleport.
And despite all this it is very clear he has no hidden soft side (unlike Krika who I declare “death of the author” towards.and propose the darkness in their heart is partly due to depression and self-loathing rather more than malice). If he was given more focus he would have been an excellent deconstruction of the idea that “lawful evil” is more noble than other forms of evil
As Greg Farshtey said: Yes he wants to kill you in a fair fight. That doesn’t change the fact he wants to kill you [to advance his horrible goals].
Who's the 'little brother' out of you five?
Swoop: Him, Grimlock mean that us Swoop and Snarl created second! So us little brothers.
OOC: I will be updating regularly from this point on!
Savage: Oh, you’re hostile! I’d love to kick the Kriff out of you!
Maul: How bad is it?
Savage: Well, fortunately, Hondo missed your abdominal aorta artery.
Maul: That’s good.
Savage: No sweetie, you lost a leg. That’s the opposite of good.
Maul: Call me “sweetie” again, and you’ll lose a leg.
big fan of how this guy’s plan almost fell apart because yuma didn’t realize he could xyz summon. imagine if yuma had a different rank one xyx monster in his deck and went into that. his entire plan falls apart.

Is there a Dinobot Scorn in the G1 universe?
Dear Dinosaur Determined,
Indeed, there are many such examples. For instance, in one universe, Scorn was one of two prototype models that Wheeljack and Ratchet had developed, but never completed before their untimely deaths in the Battle for Autobot City. Buried inside the Ark after Trypticon’s subsequent attack, it took a number of years of restoration before they were unearthed. Thrilled at the prospect of more siblings, Grimlock immediately set to work repairing them—or rather, he dragged Brainstorm, Highbrow, and Chromedome to the digsite to repair them for him.
Upon learning of the prototypes’ existence, the Decepticons dispatched the bestial Headmasters to secure a pair of Dinocons for their army. The ensuing battle was devastating, but the Dinobots were able to buy enough time to be joined by Scorn and Slash, and together they drove off the Decepticons.
Grimlock eagerly tried to assert his dominance as the big brother, but Scorn was indignant that, as she was technically an older prototype, she was his big sister. After a brief fistfight, Grimlock agreed to consider it. Slash, meanwhile, was quite happy to be a little sister and have all the other Dinobots spoil her. When she insisted that she was a velociraptor, not the deinonychus that Wheeljack had designed her as, her siblings listened without complaint!
