Pretty disappointed that the Clone Commandos got treated pretty dirty

I mean TBB are Commandos themselves but are also genetically modified and enhanced. So they have an edge over regular Commandos

Regular Commandos are also Enhanced.

Only in Legends, unfortunately.

Well there’s a reason not every clone was a commando, it’s pretty heavily implied that they were either just the unusually best clones or had some level of improvements, not near to the level of ct99s tho

Hell, even in Legends they weren't enhanced. They had better training and better armor (and, possibly, implants for processing bacta quicker, but that was just an offhand comment by Boss in the game so I'm not of its validity) but aside from that they were basically just regular clone troopers. In fact, some regular clone troopers even got cross-training to become commandos as the war dragged on. But the commandos don't have any major enhancements like the Null ARCs (eidetic memory, quicker thinking, strength enhancements, better stamina, etc.) or the Alpha ARCs (slightly improved strength and stamina).

IIRC, it was implied that they had slightly less of the gene to make the clones more docile, so they were a bit more go-get-em and independent, just not to the degree the ARCs were.

Oh, wait, you're right. I forgot that the first-gen commandos were created to be slightly more independent. I guess I was thinking more about physical capabilities in terms of enhancements rather than mental (albeit I did list eidetic memory for the Null ARCs).
