CT-4040, nicknamed "Cutup," was a Clone Trooper who served during the Clone Wars for the Galactic Republic. Cutup was initially stationed on the Rishi Moon during the early part of the Clone Wars. When the station was attacked by Commando Droids, the troops were forced to evacuate. Because of this Cutup was attacked and eaten by a giant Eel.

Cutup, was trained on Kamino, like many of the clones in the Grand Army by a Mercenary Bounty Hunter nicknamed, Bric The Squad which Cutup was apart of was on the verge of being assigned Sanitation duty as their performance during tests was poor.Cutup was blamed for the squad's failure and after a fierce confrontation with his instructor, he received his nickname. His squad, ulitmately was commissioned to fight the Separatists.

The Rishi Station
"You wanted excitement, Hevy.''" "''Right. Oo-ooh, meteor shower."

- Hevy being sarcastic to Cutup's remark

The escalating war demanded more troops and many inexperienced clones - including Cutup - were pushed into service in much faster than it would normally take. Cutup was stationed at a listening post on one of the moons of Rishi. The moon itself was ultimately attacked by the Separatists, who proceeded to hardwire the all-clear signal driving the clones to evacuate the station. Cutup was later eaten by an eel. Despite his death, the squad managed to prevail as Rex and Cody, who were inspecting bases throughout the outer rim, arrived and were caught in the middle of the battle.
