Roger roger! Which Battle Droid variant is your favorite?

[@Clone-Commander-Thire]

Maybe the Commando Droid,they’re pretty cool.

[@marshalllatta2073]

My favorite battle droid variants are all b1 battle Droids commando droids magna guards droidekas aqua droids super battle Droids super tactical Droids dwarf spider droids Crab Droids and rocket super battle Droids

[@jotheunissen9274]

While droids like the B3 and Droideka are certainly awesome and stronger troops, my favourite will always be the B1 The fact that they developed a personality and are more 'sentient' is 1 of the things that made the Clone Wars and other media like Lego Star Wars and Jedi Survivor so great

[@tylerfeinstein8049]

Honestly if Darth Sideous wasn’t sabotaging the separatist movement the CIS could’ve been the greatest army in galactic history. I might be way in over my head but the CIS Droid Army will always be my favorite. Plenty of amazing droids and excellent variation

[@matthewchristian9591]

Yeah till the vong showed up then everyone is super fucked

[@matthewchristian9591]

@nihil2262 not really they made their biological weapons ships and armor to fight 2 droids who evolved to have the powers of gods and their literally armies who in their fight aginst each other wiped out all living beings in their way. Their weapons were made specifically for destroying all droids. That was one of their biggest issues with the republic. When they showed up, they saw what machines did in their galaxy and didn't want a repeat. Also they dont take advantage of biological weakness their weaponry its just so advanced nothing anyone can make will fight it.

[@bigdaddydons6241]

They aren't even the "bad guys" most separatists just wanted out of a republic that was already falling apart.

[@Ezullof]

The thing is, the goal of the separatists wasn't necessarily to have a great imperial state. Let's say Sidious is out of the equation - Dooku would have tried to reform the Republic, forcefully but fairly to some extent. The droid army would probably be used as a threat, an occupation force, but also a task force in case of catastrophes or to assist the Jedi. Let's remember that one of the core reasons behind the very start of the Separatist movement if the refusal of the Republic to police the confine of the Republic, where pirates, slavers and smugglers had free reign. So contrarily to the Empire, the Republic under Dooku would likely concentrate its forces in its borders, to fight against real threats, instead of using it as a police force. For most people, life would be the same. Dooku would be strict to the point of cruelty and the repression would be cold-blooded, but he would also be fair and ready to use diplomacy.

[@KartarNighthawk]

@@matthewchristian9591 I don't know about that. Per some old EU material a unit of B2s got reactivated during the Vong War and handily repelled an invasion of the world they were assigned to.

[@tk-6967]

Best army in the Sw universe by a wide margin. Has ridiculous numbers which it didn't even need to rely on and probably the best tanks, starfighters, capital ships and infantry of all the factions. The AAT is just fantastic, and nothing beats the agile droid fighters supported by organic Separatist aces and the good old fashioned Providence destroyers with Gozantis and other anti-fighter ships, and the B3 battledroid is awesome.

I love the separatists, the idea every tank, troop, and fighter is a somewhat sentient being capable of emotion is insane. Like take a look at the octoputarra for example, what are they thinking about? What is going on inside there head? Do those “monstrous units” communicate. It’s like the tyranids, where massive vehicles and tanks are living organisms, but these are machines, it’s amazing, and there designs are so cool

[@therealbobafett]

I have no doubt that if Palpatine wasn’t manipulating both sides in the war then the droids would have stomped the clones

[@shdwfxgamerz7667]

They would have they had millions of battle droids ready they were just not activated

[@jcorkill0159]

My favourite is the BX commando droids… it’s so cool and badass… Their well armed, armored, strong, and quick… If they were the main droid replacing the B1 droid in separatist alliance armies the war could have lasted longer, been more brutal, and many more alternative scenarios could’ve have happened…

The Sepratists would have won the clone wars rather quickly. Commandos are too good at their job that the writers had to scale back their power for main characters.

The droidika is my favorite battle droid. I love the sound of the blaster bolts, the unique insect look of them and the energy shield.

[@klingon401]

wasn't it in the Clone Commando game that the commando's actually found out the droid army out numbered the clones something stupid like 10'000 to 1? and they figured there was some kind of plot going on behind the scenes since Doku wasn't just sending millions of droids to straight up wipe out any clone base

[@bionodroid547]

the droids were the primary force of the separatists, as many separatists planets were not individually represented in the senate. The clones were a supplementary force to republic PDFs, and mostly served as space marines for planetary invasions. So even if the droids outnumber the clones like that, the CIS still has to transport, power, and set up all those droids, which is balanced by the PDFs already existing

[@KamikazeCommie501]

As a kid, watching a whole platoon of B1s come out of their transport in TPM was so cool. It's a bit weird that they have tanks crewed by robots instead of robot tanks but apart from that, the theme of a robot army and how it could work was done so well.

[@ProcyonDei]

Probably to allow the vehicles to be manned by non-droids, like Durge or that one Kim Jong Un guy from the 2008 Clone Wars. Also it's probably easier to make a regular vehicle than to make and program a vehicle-sized droid...

[@wesleyrussell8386]

I remember when the visual encyclopedia for episode 1 from 1999 said the battle droids were made to look like dead mummified neimodians before the invention of geonosians

[@isaacpaz9287]

Droidekas will always hold a special place in my heart when I think of the CSI army.

[@tk-6967]

you missed a few droideka variants: droideka oppressors and droideka sentinals were both produced too late for service in the clone war (in the same way as the droideka mark 2 or the hk 77) but were still droideka designs that the cis would have undoubtedly used.

[@marceloaugusto9787]

My favourite faction in Star Wars, they're highly underrated but it is clear that they would have won the Cone Wars if the Jedis wasn't a part of the Republic Army.

[@bearco.propertymaintenance6399]

You missed the scoreanex aka the Droidekas big brother and the few variants of the Droideka but I really liked the fact you covered droids that I’m sure not many people have heard of before so thanks for the cool video and all the work that went into it hope to see more.

[@PsychedeliKompot]

From a lore perspective, alot of these droids that only showed up on one or two missions in total were probably prototypes being given a real world trial. They often failed their missions and therefore never ended up being mass produced. No doubt the Techno Union probably produced a ton more prototypes that never even made it to the real world trial phase. I'd like to think somewhere in the Star Wars universe, there's a Techno Union factory/warehouse where all of these are stored, in case future developments of droids ever require those concepts to be revisited.

[@Kaden10]

You can tell Matt Wood had a lot of fun voicing the B1 droids.

[@M1A2C.]

You also missed the Scorpenek Annihilator Droid, basically a mega Droideka that was able to take down 100 or so clones in a single second. The factory that made them got destroyed by clones tho.

[@novavortex7763]

Watching all the shows the Jedi never really struggled with battle droids, they make quick work of them. they really start to become scary when clones are facing them. The only few droids that I notice Jedi struggle with are magnaguards and commandos. Destroyer droids can be overwhelmed or outsmarted quite easily.

[@supergodzilla3]

You forgot the Scorpenek droid that was seen in the Book of Boba Fett, it was made by the Colocoid during the Clone Wars for the Seperatists

[@christianburnett236]

I also always loved the separatist droid army and it's many cool variants.

[@cowboybeboop9420]

Honestly, the droid army seems like a much better idea. The clones are a literal slave army who have to fight to the death while always being heavily outnumbered. The droids are not sentient beings so there are no casualties. They don`t feel hunger or tiredness or cold or need air etc. They should also theoretically be better shots. Their brain is basically a computer that can just auto aim and fire. You can`t really beat them in hand to hand combat either. It would be like a human having a wrestling contest with a terminator. The only thing clones have on their side is imagination and the ability to think on your feet (not exactly military valued qualities) and we don`t really see them using that. Instead they go out in Napoleon era like battles to shoot each other.

[@thibaultsardet7399]

Sidious needed a slave army to ultimately kill the Jedis at once. They could not trust, or bond with droids as they did with the clones.

[@bluebrixproductions4883]

Yes, do one on the rebellion if they have different ranks/ variants of soldiers.

[@Drakrylos]

3:28 The Cortosis Battle Droid, while technically being based on the B2 chassis, *isn't classified as a B2 model.* Its correct model number is C-B3, being one of the two droids pitted against eachother to see which would be the successor to the B2, the other competitor being the B3 Ultra Battle Droid you mentioned immediately after the C-B3.

[@TotallyNotAFox]

Droidekas are still the most awesome ones, and the B1 could have been effective if they had more CPU power to work with

[@lukerayners6729]

I like how you use both cannon and legends, it makes your video's even better

honestly the b1 had the potential to be amazing multi-purpose droids for the cis. just some modifications and different programming to fit the role they are assigned to and they will be amazing droids to have.

[@CapitanFeeney]

The most humanitarian army ever made

[@Ezullof]

I think it's quite possible that the B1 were designed as a dissuasion or an occupation force (though still capable of fighting), when the separatists still thought that the Republic had no army to speak of. All subsequent models were vastly more efficient in combat, and also lacked similar personality quirks (which would have been useful for a temporary occupation force, as it would interact with people better). The high numbers, high mobility and versatility of the B1 made it a very good army to cover a lot of space fast without looking too "threatening", it was the perfect droid to occupy a few Republic worlds until they'd settle for advantageous negotiations. Meanwhile, the clones were designed to fight actual wars. The Separatists probably had to refit a good chunk of their military industry to produce B2 and other droids en masse instead.

[@spork6264]

My fav are the infiltrator demolition droids because imagine your roomba suddenly Turns into a damn terminator and does a fusion dance with another roomba to make a bomb

[@kryskiller666]

From memory, you missed one. So, the flying B1 you showed? Back in Legends it had a MUCH different version which was shown first in a PSP game, before being adapted as canon to the old continuity, the B1-A Air Battle Droid. Thicker than the usual B1, with an integrated jetpack that has four folded wings that extend during flight for better manoeuvrability in atmosphere. They have two wrist-mounted blasters (one on each arm) alongside doubled-edged blades, one on each arm as well. They were meant to harass Jedi from the air to then swoop down for the kill with their own blades. Their main weakness was that while thicker than a B1, they were still vulnerable as fuck, their speed being the only thing keeping them alive, and that their blades weren't anything special. For whatever idiotic reason, the CIS didn't think of using vibroblades on them. Back then, they were popular enough that they even showed up on the tabletop RPG that Wizards of the Coast made with Lucas Arts. For comparison, B1s are a Challenge Level 1 enemy, B2s are a Challenge Level 2 enemy, B1-A are a Challenge 4 due to how much they move and how devastating their charges can be if they catch you with your pants down. Honestly, it sucks that Disney changed them for those bitch ass winged models. The old designs were WAY cooler, straight out of Transformers with the folded wings.
