Hey geetsly, could you do a video on why magnaguards wore cloaks? At least in ROTS. I assume they didn't do it for the clone wars because it would be more expensive and harder to animate fighting scenes. By the way you forgot to mention the extreme durability of magnaguards, consider they can survive without their head.
I'm assuming that they're referring to how B2's had better armor (that completely encased the sensitive components), as well as built in weapons (primarily a heavy rapid fire blaster, and the capability of having a heavy RPG type arm canon) While the Commando droids could take a few hits before going down, they typically didn't have as much armor as a B2 (this isn't much of an issue however, due to the increased intelligence and lighter frame for better mobility). The Commando droids were (to my understanding) usually armed with the basic blaster that normal battle droids had, as well as Vibro-Blades that allowed them to attempt close combat against lightsaber users
The combination of redundant torso CPU and terrific learning capacity made them pretty scary. Older more experienced magnaguards often retained the scars of battle to convey veterancy and intimidate the enemy. Wish we got to see a bit more of their true potential in the movies, but at least the expanded material shows what they can do
The Terminator's an infiltration unit: part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperalloy combat chassis, microprocessor-controlled. Fully armored; very tough. But outside, it's living human tissue: flesh, skin, hair, blood - grown for the cyborgs. The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him. *[You interrupt me to point out that…]* Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead! *[You gesture to the title of the video]* _Oh, wrong T series, my bad._

Clone Scout Trooper: No, I ain't gonna talk about those clankers! Wait it isn't here is it?! How do I get this damned thing off?! *knocks over camera in rage*
Honestly...I would fear the Vulture droids. They can turn into fighters (there basis form) and they can turn into a fighter standing up on it's wings and still do high damage to squads of clones. I mean, seriously. But then again, Commando droids, Droidika, And Magna guards scare the shit out of me.
But what about the Hydra Bomber? It's still technically a Droid, a slightly bigger body than a Vulture, Has the Droid head, and a bomb silo on the other side, and can do the same as a Vulture. Except has bombs as well.
I give you the HMP droid gunship. Well shielded for it's size and excellently armed, it did it's job and then some. It's only major flaw being it's exposed missile payload. One of these things could quite easily clear a landing area first and drop off it's droid cargo and move to an air support role. I would say it is superior to the LAAT gunship in many ways.
@@tylerjester507 I’m gonna tell you he should’ve died there, there is no way those things don’t have 360 degree sensors at least inside of their shields
any droid that had the high ground, and Droidekas that were used like bowling balls when Force Push hit them. watch the third or fourth episode of the Malevolence Arc.
It should be noted that they never finished developing the Scorponoks until near the end of the war, meaning that they couldn't spam them since they were unfinished until too late.

Just sick a squad of Jawas on all those Terminators... itd be like Xmas for them... an they'd probably LOVE you forever... Skynet... probably not so much
Honestly a jedi vs terminators would be great. But make it just jedi masters and sith vs the models from the more recent movies. I don't like the movies but fighting liquid droids would be intense
I'd say BX droids. They're much more likely to appear, they are highly skilled, and unless I make a headshot, that thing isn't going down, as stated on Rishi, "Those clankers have tough armor!"
I always thought the CIS should have used them and just dropped the droidekas and B2s. The B2 is super slow and present a big target while the droidekas are useless in anything but flat firm ground. The commando droids meanwhile are spies, assassins, saboteurs, and special forces all rolled into one. Use them to flank the enemy while your B1s spam the enemy from the front and you've got a recipe for a clone massacre, especially if other commandos have sabotaged the clones vehicles. A clone is worth 20 B1s but the commando droids sometimes could take a clone 1 on 1 and win, and since they're still far cheaper then a clone that's a war winner there. If you copied the Holocron raid idea of using commando droids in conjunction with bounty hunters then you could carry out surprise attacks and deadly raids against the clones since youvr got the unpredictability and resourcefulness of a bounty hunter with the deadly combat ability of the commando droids. Use them with fast attack craft to board ships and you could cripple republic vessels and keep the ships all without risking your capital ships
@@arthas640 Yes, but they were expensive. All that agility and superior programing wasn't free and the CIS love their frontal assaults with overwhelming numbers and massive firepower, which is what B1s and B2s were made for. I do agree that BXs paired with a skilled warrior/bounty hunter would be incredibly deadly, that's why we see grievous use BXs and magnaguards in a boarding party in CW. They were still too expensive for the CIS to use in their usual open battle tactics and are better off being used in more complex situations like the ones you mentioned, since their main advantage is superior programing/skill and not firepower or armor like a B2 or droideka.
The B2’s in Republic Commandos gave me a newfound appreciation for the effort normal clones had to put in simply to defeat a single B2 let alone hundreds. Although if we are talking about most feared. The magnaguards and the droidekas in RC were even scarier.

That way you take one out in roughly 10 seconds. And while you take out the enemy your allies can focus on the dispenser and the other enemies in the room.

I loved knowing what the annihilators were in the last episode of BOBF, it made the horror of them much more potent knowing what they’re capable of. thanks Geetsley!
Not so much scared of more intrigued by the EG-5 Jedi Hunter Droid, a droid capable of blade to blade combat with Jedi but never saw the light of battle outside the Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels game. It would’ve been cool to see them in other media
“I might’ve been afraid, but I blew ‘em up just as well. I’m an ARF trooper with a big, scary rocket launcher.” -CS/CT-9711-12 “Cheng”, Captain and Scout of 442nd Siege Battalion

Damn those Colicoids!!" ARC-Trooper Commander Lucky, ARC-7566, Munnilinst 10, 501st Legion. (Personal Headcannon.)
If I was a clone of the republic, then the droid I would be afraid of is the Bx Commando Droid Can’t wait for the new season of Star Wars The Clone Wars, anyone excited. :)
@Batman The Dark Knight Are you being serious? Because it was confirmed months ago the last season of clone wars is airing on the Disney streaming service
The only reason I knew that the Droidekas would be on there is because of the Battle of Ringo Vinda, where the Droidekas were deployed, and Commander Doom screamed them out, as if they were a problem, and General Skywalker quickly told the Republic forces to fall back because of them.
What about Protodeka's? In one case one of them annihilated a very heavy republic tank squad which consisted of 2 AT-TE's, at least 6-8 AT-XT's (these walkers are no joke wish they where shown on screen tbh) and 1 TX-130 with ease (these too).
So, either in official canon or legends (like it matters), there's actually some galactic law on the books stating that the 'speech' from the Gonk droid should NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be translated. It's so mysterious. Check it out.
I liked seeing the anhialators return to film in the Book of Boba Fett, really displaying their destructive capabilities and how several elite fighters looked hopeless trying to take then down. Really good implementation by Faveru and Filoni.
Isn’t it obvious? It’s clearly the *Gonk Droid* **starts having flashbacks of the battle of Geonosis where gonk droids we’re being used as suicide bombers which would slip behind republic lines and explode in their command posts**
Jedi definitely didn’t like the droid commandos either. Especially later on in the series like seasons 4-7 when the show actually did a good job at representing different CIS units consistently, not like season 1 where 12 year old Ashoka could survive an entire group of mangaguards.
Sniper Droideka. thick armor resistant to blaster (from the front) and a shield generator combined with the accuracy of a sniper from a position of defence? no thanks lol....
You forgot the DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droid. It was a massive threat even for squads of clone commandos, and even Jedi were wary of them. A single DSD1 could take out small to mid-size vehicles with ease by simply smashing the vehicle with one of the spider's powerful legs, and it had powerful cannons. They were heavily armored, so anything less than explosives didn't really phase the damn things. As a player of _Star Wars: Republic Commando,_ I can honestly say fuck those things.
I’d be terrified of the BX-Commando Droids with their agility, will to kill, intelligence, independent thinking, and skill with the Vibro Sword even as a Jedi I’d be terrified to see a few of those droids
the trident droids were intimidating in the sense that once they did get on land, they had large caliber canons as an arm and just blasted through everyone
What's with the totally incongruous music that cuts in during the piece about the A-Series Assassin Droid? Cuts in at 11:50, between "found on Kashyyk" and "aside from their high-quality armor plating".
Though B1 Battle Droids are not that scary if they are few in numbers, but a huge swarm of them is what will literally shit my pants. Also people tend to forget that Quantity has its own quality, like what Joseph Stalin said “Quantity is Quality.” To be honest it’s more terrifying if you are facing a bunch of enemies that are shooting at you nonstop.
Spartan War118 that’s what’s makes it terrifying, if you even peek out of your cover with Droids firing nonstop. You would be more than annoyed, you would be dead. That’s why the CIS was able to gain a handful of victories during the Clone Wars.
you asked me, commando droids are probably the ones that were the clones most feared, by virtue of being coming enough for the majority of clones to be exposed to, but, rare enough they aren't too common. Combine that with their lethality, and their penchant for subterfuge, ambush, in general underhanded tactics, and you've got yourself something any reasonable person would be worried about.
Commando droids were still used beyond the clone wars to resistance era they were mainly used as spies but the fact they were still used must’ve terrified even the first order
You missed the B-2 variant with Cortosis plating, which is an obscure (and canon) battledroid impervious to blaster fire and lightsabers. They were canonised in Thrawn Alliances
Commando droids are scary asf. Imagine one second you’re standing guard at your post, and the next second there’s an explosion from the wall beside you and a speedy droid jumps out and stabs you through the chest with a vibrosword.
If I was a Shiny, the Droid I would fear most would be the Magnaguard and BX Commando Droid reasons being; When playing Republic Commando Campaign the Magnaguards were fast and could take heaps of DMG before going down BX Commando Droids had intimidation on their side, They would brutally kill Their targets, and almost killed the Clone captain Rex, and the BX could fulfill multiple roles whether it be Bodyguard or Marksman
Isaac Roman Another intimidation factor because you’d think that’s your ally around the Corner only for it to be a Commando Droid and then it sliced you up with its VibroSword
I like that @2:45 those things are just blasting away despite the fact we've already seen the Jedi turn the corner at the end of the hall. They may be tough, but the seem a little dumb. "Target no longer in sight. FIRE AWAY!"
I can imagine some engineer laughing maniacally while creating some of these droids. Honestly i think they can make them even more fearful. load them with as much death gadgets as possible not just blasters and sheilds. im thinking cyanide gas, fail-safe frag explosives, fail-safe gas release, micro droid swarm missiles (like exploding bees) oh man so many possibilities.
Honestly, I'd have thought that the B3 would've been higher on the list; they had kortosis plating as armor, which pretty much made lightsabers useless against it. In addition, they had built in gravity adjusters, which made force abilities such as push/pull useless if DIRECTLY used against the droid (but could be affected by having heavy enough things dropped on them). For armaments: they had 2 main arms with with varying weapons, 2 smaller arms closer to the body which usually had either rapid fire repeating blasters or flamethrowers, and shoulder mounted rocket pods (if I remember correctly) Did I mention that they were around 9 meters (27 ft) tall, which game them a distinct advantage in terms of not having their field of view obscured and letting them track enemies better as a result?
And they also had jagged claws on their calves, and their arms looked like they'd be pretty sharp. On the trailing edge, and especially towards the elbow. I wonder how effective it would be if you sharpened the same area on B2 Super Battle Droids?
The B3 ultra battle droids are definitely my favourite. I think they could be canon as in the dark decipal novel Quinn lan Voss examines a repair part for one and even says “this looks like a repair part for a B3”
TD's aren't scary once you take down their subordinates. in CWRP i actually captured at TD series on my own, and brought it back to base. you should have seen the reactions, it was amazing. i actually got offered to join the ARC for it, but, i liked being a 104th. my tank got blown up on some patrol on annaxes, so i went to sire base, the outpost that i believed was still under republic control, but the seppies had taken it over, i snuck in, thinking if i was to die better to do it earning my pay for some thrills, made it to the command center, killed the 3 B1's and wlaked the TD out at gunpoint, and even took one of their buggy's. the droids didn't see or were out on combat patrols. so i rode back into base in an enemy vehicle, with an enemy Tac droid at the wheel, it was actually amazing.
@@robertlinke2666 Tactical droids just spew cold, calculated facts to you Jedi about to kill it. Droid: The chances of you succeeding is 1 to some very big random number *gets sliced anyway*
11:11 I had that comic when I was a kid and it came with a figure of that Droid with Padoine Anakin Skywalker. Even though those toys are pretty rare to find today I didn't enjoy playing with it so much because it was the only Battle Droid toy I had against a bunch of Jedis and Clones. Still have it.
while growing up with clone wars the commando droids were the scariestest #1 COMMANDO DROID In tie with commando droids is the droids that showed up in the book of boba final episode #2 The droids that are in space that cut up ships i think they are called buzz droids that mess up ships and if they are in numbers #3 IG magna guard that general grievous use #4 DROIDIKA #5 the red b2 battle droids that are red and can fly in space used in a ep when they captured a clone that executed order 66 early idk what they were called but thats my list

This channel's format is VERY similar to "Generation Tech" but I like yours sooo much more because he fills about 40% of his episodes with his news-anchor-esque face-cam VS displaying RELEVANT video footage, as you do. Both channels use incredibly similar journalism styles and his use of face-cam is not only distracting and unnecessary it's amateur, AT BEST. I could write a book about all the things I dislike about that channel but his SW content is pretty good and he focuses on my favourite era: The Clone Wars. Maybe take a moment to check out his channel to find ways to improve yours: at first glance - I've watched a few of your videos, whereas I've seen hundreds of his -you seem to pick up right where he leaves off.

I loved knowing what the annihilators were in the last episode of BOBF, it made the horror of them much more potent knowing what they’re capable of. thanks Geetsley!
I know!
"the stronger B-2 models weren't much of a challenge for the Grand army of the Republic"
*Star Wars Republic Commando flashbacks intensify*
We clones only fear one thing on the battlefield, and that's the urge to pee.
That's understandable
But you know what's worse?
Being hungry and/or sleepy
Not so much scared of more intrigued by the EG-5 Jedi Hunter Droid, a droid capable of blade to blade combat with Jedi but never saw the light of battle outside the Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels game. It would’ve been cool to see them in other media
They appear in the Nintendo Game for TCW as well! (Though I’m pretty sure that’s non-canon)
Funny enough droidekas were nerfed in the original battlefront games lol
B2 also
In OG Battlefront 1 Droidekas were OP if you were at a distance. SBDs can one shot you if you're too close to them.
Ben Moreno what was also funny was in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga the droidekas were invincible unless you were playing as a Jedi
@@metalhead2670 you could destroy the shield but you have to shoot more, you too can use r2d2 or r4 to zap them

Can’t wait for the new season of Star Wars The Clone Wars, anyone excited. :)
B2s are way better and more intimidating IMO
Ügiustus Keiserus it was like a upside down egg
yes i'm excited too it's going to be glorious
when it come out?
@Batman The Dark Knight Are you being serious? Because it was confirmed months ago the last season of clone wars is airing on the Disney streaming service
The only reason I knew that the Droidekas would be on there is because of the Battle of Ringo Vinda, where the Droidekas were deployed, and Commander Doom screamed them out, as if they were a problem, and General Skywalker quickly told the Republic forces to fall back because of them.
Kickass list. Love the CIS. So much versatility in ANY combat scenario.
Frothy Walrus agreed
Millian Macalintal haha thanks
What about Protodeka's? In one case one of them annihilated a very heavy republic tank squad which consisted of 2 AT-TE's, at least 6-8 AT-XT's (these walkers are no joke wish they where shown on screen tbh) and 1 TX-130 with ease (these too).
Apparoid Wolf
From Star Wars the clone wars video game on Xbox. Those things were tough
I think that the gonk droid is the scariest
So, either in official canon or legends (like it matters), there's actually some galactic law on the books stating that the 'speech' from the Gonk droid should NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be translated. It's so mysterious. Check it out.
Yea, you cant kill them, you cant let them close, the only thing you can do is topple them over, or else they go kaboom
*CIS droid army wasn't an entirely massive incompetent comic relief horde soldiers*

I liked seeing the anhialators return to film in the Book of Boba Fett, really displaying their destructive capabilities and how several elite fighters looked hopeless trying to take then down. Really good implementation by Faveru and Filoni.
Isn’t it obvious? It’s clearly the *Gonk Droid* **starts having flashbacks of the battle of Geonosis where gonk droids we’re being used as suicide bombers which would slip behind republic lines and explode in their command posts**
Who’s the battle droid?!
ITZ BUZZ DROIDZ
*Crack Addict chittering*
Jedi definitely didn’t like the droid commandos either. Especially later on in the series like seasons 4-7 when the show actually did a good job at representing different CIS units consistently, not like season 1 where 12 year old Ashoka could survive an entire group of mangaguards.
"Who's That Droid?!"
"It's the B1!"
"It's the BX!"
"F---!" (Dies)
What about crab droids? I've fought a few in Star Wars Republic Commando and they were in the battle for Utapau
what mods have you bin using?
@@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780 he talking about spider droids
@@tf-mr-blue748 i mean the battle is utapau stuff
Sniper Droideka. thick armor resistant to blaster (from the front) and a shield generator combined with the accuracy of a sniper from a position of defence? no thanks lol....
Sniper droidekas don’t have shields
The citadel is also a great example of commando droids the shear relentles nest and being able to land hits while back gliping is amazing
I’d say buzz droids. It always scared me when I was little and I heard them in the Revenge of the Sith game.
Those Annilators made their debut in Book of Boba Fett when it came to IRL appearances
You forgot the DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droid. It was a massive threat even for squads of clone commandos, and even Jedi were wary of them. A single DSD1 could take out small to mid-size vehicles with ease by simply smashing the vehicle with one of the spider's powerful legs, and it had powerful cannons. They were heavily armored, so anything less than explosives didn't really phase the damn things.
As a player of _Star Wars: Republic Commando,_ I can honestly say fuck those things.
As a kid when the prequels came out, I absolutely LOVED the droids. And still do today, lol
As a kid, I was always scared of Kalani and commando droids.
Why the hell would you be scared of those
Same except I also found that red tactical droid in the battle over selucemi intimidating
Just a Critic that does not do his job It called child paranoia.
I fear the demo droids, hailfire droid, sniper droidickas and magnagaurds, dwarf spider droids and spider droids
I’d be terrified of the BX-Commando Droids with their agility, will to kill, intelligence, independent thinking, and skill with the Vibro Sword even as a Jedi I’d be terrified to see a few of those droids
the trident droids were intimidating in the sense that once they did get on land, they had large caliber canons as an arm and just blasted through everyone
Omg at 4:23 the commando droid has almonds on his arms. I CANT UNSEE IT!!!
Yetus Fetus Gender Equality Deletus God dammit
B2s
"Watch those wrist rockets!!!"
Commando droids in the same numbers as b-1s... that’s terrifying.
Magnaguards = Either Grevious or Count Dooku nearby. Scary af!
I would only be afraid of a clanker if I were in space and they disabled my ship like the shuttle Tup was on in season 6.
Well we finally saw some scorponek droids in action
*Who’s That **-Pokémon-** Battledroid?!*
Droidekas are the very reason i got into starwars to begin with, i love them so much when i was a kid and still kinda do
Crab droids scare me, imagine seeing someone impaled by one of their legs.........
Man I love the vibe your videos have.. like the music and the way your emblem appears in the intro over the nice spacey background image
I like it how the clones just watched thier Sargent getting murdered.
And the droids seemingly teleporting to right in front of him before shooting him too.
Ive been rewatching seasons 2 and 3 a those are full of this stuff too...
11:56 That music surprised tf outta me Lmao
Whos that battle droid????
Its super battle droid!!!
That's a B3..
Hello there
its ULTRA battle droid
What's with the totally incongruous music that cuts in during the piece about the A-Series Assassin Droid? Cuts in at 11:50, between "found on Kashyyk" and "aside from their high-quality armor plating".
Though B1 Battle Droids are not that scary if they are few in numbers, but a huge swarm of them is what will literally shit my pants.
Also people tend to forget that Quantity has its own quality, like what Joseph Stalin said
“Quantity is Quality.”
To be honest it’s more terrifying if you are facing a bunch of enemies that are shooting at you nonstop.
Well i wouldn't say terrifying
Just annoying
That i can't get a shot off because they're dumping lasers into what ever i'd be using as cover
Spartan War118 that’s what’s makes it terrifying, if you even peek out of your cover with Droids firing nonstop. You would be more than annoyed, you would be dead. That’s why the CIS was able to gain a handful of victories during the Clone Wars.
@@apolloknight9521 Dead does not equal terrified or annoyed
I still don't find that situation particularly terrifying
Spartan War118 what if your the one left standing and your facing a huge horde of Droids shooting at you nonstop?
you asked me, commando droids are probably the ones that were the clones most feared, by virtue of being coming enough for the majority of clones to be exposed to, but, rare enough they aren't too common. Combine that with their lethality, and their penchant for subterfuge, ambush, in general underhanded tactics, and you've got yourself something any reasonable person would be worried about.
"Even b2 droids weren't much of a challenge."
Have you played Republic Commando?
I like to think the ones in Republic Commando were a specialized variant.
@@godsdj7316 or that's how they were meant to be before the curators of the franchise realised they were too op.
@Adam and Eve your point?
@Adam and Eve well, I guess that's your opinion.
@Adam and Eve well... Then I disagree with your view.
Demolition droids are overpowered.
Commando droids were still used beyond the clone wars to resistance era they were mainly used as spies but the fact they were still used must’ve terrified even the first order
Source? I'm intrigued
You missed the B-2 variant with Cortosis plating, which is an obscure (and canon) battledroid impervious to blaster fire and lightsabers. They were canonised in Thrawn Alliances

The annihilator droids are by far the most terrifying as there were even larger models that were used as planetary defense guns.
T-series: Tactical droids
Buzzfeed: Buzz droids
The Sniper droideka is probably one worth mentioning, especially if you're a clone trooper.
BX commandos meant business
Commando droids are scary asf. Imagine one second you’re standing guard at your post, and the next second there’s an explosion from the wall beside you and a speedy droid jumps out and stabs you through the chest with a vibrosword.
I swear the thumbnail for this video has the Pokemon font lol
If I was a Shiny, the Droid I would fear most would be the Magnaguard and BX Commando Droid reasons being;
When playing Republic Commando Campaign the Magnaguards were fast and could take heaps of DMG before going down
BX Commando Droids had intimidation on their side, They would brutally kill Their targets, and almost killed the Clone captain Rex, and the BX could fulfill multiple roles whether it be Bodyguard or Marksman
And they can copy voices
Isaac Roman Another intimidation factor because you’d think that’s your ally around the Corner only for it to be a Commando Droid and then it sliced you up with its VibroSword
They feared the infamous Super GNK Droid
Unlimited power
I like that @2:45 those things are just blasting away despite the fact we've already seen the Jedi turn the corner at the end of the hall. They may be tough, but the seem a little dumb. "Target no longer in sight. FIRE AWAY!"
I always thought the brown parts of the commando droids were wood or looked like almonds 😂
Headcannon: commando droids are called 'almond droids' by clones.
@@elijahsellers3727 😂
Inawana Industries almonds exist in Star Wars?
Clone: "LOOK OUT IS GENERAL GRIEVOUS!"
Me:I fear no man, but that thing
*looks at magma droid*
Me: It scares me
I can imagine some engineer laughing maniacally while creating some of these droids.
Honestly i think they can make them even more fearful. load them with as much death gadgets as possible not just blasters and sheilds.
im thinking cyanide gas, fail-safe frag explosives, fail-safe gas release, micro droid swarm missiles (like exploding bees) oh man so many possibilities.
Honestly, I'd have thought that the B3 would've been higher on the list; they had kortosis plating as armor, which pretty much made lightsabers useless against it.
In addition, they had built in gravity adjusters, which made force abilities such as push/pull useless if DIRECTLY used against the droid (but could be affected by having heavy enough things dropped on them).
For armaments: they had 2 main arms with with varying weapons, 2 smaller arms closer to the body which usually had either rapid fire repeating blasters or flamethrowers, and shoulder mounted rocket pods (if I remember correctly)
Did I mention that they were around 9 meters (27 ft) tall, which game them a distinct advantage in terms of not having their field of view obscured and letting them track enemies better as a result?
And they also had jagged claws on their calves, and their arms looked like they'd be pretty sharp. On the trailing edge, and especially towards the elbow. I wonder how effective it would be if you sharpened the same area on B2 Super Battle Droids?
The B3 ultra battle droids are definitely my favourite. I think they could be canon as in the dark decipal novel Quinn lan Voss examines a repair part for one and even says “this looks like a repair part for a B3”
All of the t-series bots are scary
Who knows when they will hit more subs than pewdiepie
Eeeeeeee
TD's aren't scary once you take down their subordinates.
in CWRP i actually captured at TD series on my own, and brought it back to base. you should have seen the reactions, it was amazing.
i actually got offered to join the ARC for it, but, i liked being a 104th.
my tank got blown up on some patrol on annaxes, so i went to sire base, the outpost that i believed was still under republic control, but the seppies had taken it over, i snuck in, thinking if i was to die better to do it earning my pay for some thrills, made it to the command center, killed the 3 B1's and wlaked the TD out at gunpoint, and even took one of their buggy's. the droids didn't see or were out on combat patrols. so i rode back into base in an enemy vehicle, with an enemy Tac droid at the wheel, it was actually amazing.
@@robertlinke2666 Tactical droids just spew cold, calculated facts to you

11:11 I had that comic when I was a kid and it came with a figure of that Droid with Padoine Anakin Skywalker. Even though those toys are pretty rare to find today I didn't enjoy playing with it so much because it was the only Battle Droid toy I had against a bunch of Jedis and Clones. Still have it.
If it ain’t a wrist rocket then its outta pocket...
Enough said 😌
Without plot armor, the CIS would annihilated the Republic
Clearly not enough people have played Republic Commando. B2's are relentless.
Republic Commando isn't canon
Never played that game seen it but didn’t have a Xbox growing up
they are really anoyying had a hard time when they are in big numbers
while growing up with clone wars the commando droids were the scariestest
#1 COMMANDO DROID
In tie with commando droids is the droids that showed up in the book of boba final episode
#2 The droids that are in space that cut up ships i think they are called buzz droids that mess up ships and if they are in numbers
#3 IG magna guard that general grievous use
#4 DROIDIKA
#5 the red b2 battle droids that are red and can fly in space used in a ep when they captured a clone that executed order 66 early idk what they were called but thats my list
B1 Droid - A Literal Robot With Garbage Aim, Of Which There Is Many
Stormtroopers - Somehow Less Accurate, Also Many

So the giant droids used by the Pykes in The Book of Boba Fett. Those were Annihilators?
I've always liked the droids despite most of them having idotic programming (aka overused looney toones humor) the CIS is such an underdeveloped faction it's good to see it finally getting some love I really wish star wars lore would have delved deeper into the CIS viewpoint from average citzens perspective and why they wanted to leave the republic also with the mix of corrupt corporations bank rolling the whole movement
Imagine if the galaxy unleashed droidekas against the yuuzhan vong
This channel's format is VERY similar to "Generation Tech" but I like yours sooo much more because he fills about 40% of his episodes with his news-anchor-esque face-cam VS displaying RELEVANT video footage, as you do.
Both channels use incredibly similar journalism styles and his use of face-cam is not only distracting and unnecessary it's amateur, AT BEST. I could write a book about all the things I dislike about that channel but his SW content is pretty good and he focuses on my favourite era: The Clone Wars. Maybe take a moment to check out his channel to find ways to improve yours: at first glance - I've watched a few of your videos, whereas I've seen hundreds of his -you seem to pick up right where he leaves off.
[Subscribed] Keep up the good work; I like what you've got.
Hellfire droids, imagine seeing a rocket barrage on wheels on the battle field.
*"To make metas worse for the repúblic...."*
I love how you mention that the Droids at 9:39 were obscure droids.
3 years later, they are no longer obscure.
