"The name's Rex. But you'll call me 'captain' or 'sir'..."

And then there's the Star Wars - Clone Lieutenant International Edition (Comic Con Exclusive): Identical in form, physical prowess, stamina and mental capacity, each of the first generations of clone troopers were fully encased in hard white armor, each identical face concealed behind a t-shaped visor.

Eventually, color-coded flashes on the armor denoted rank and later came to signify individual units, who often became more customized with mission specific gear and armor modifications.

Was he in the cartoon Clone War?

Hi desmond, Rex is in the current Star Wars Clone Wars TV series but he isn't an ARC trooper although he's dressed like one.

The ultimate in the clone trooper ranks were the Advanced Recon Commandos, or ARC troopers, elite infantry hand-trained by Jango Fett. Only a select number of ARC troopers were bred and trained before Fett's untimely demise at the Battle of Geonosis, and they were used sparingly during the Clone Wars. ARC captains are red colored, while Captain Rex is blue.
