As I recall, in the novel "Survivor's Quest", Luke and Mara have difficulty defeating a single Droideka when they infiltrate a Vagaari ship. Rarely is the level of difficulty required to defeat these Droideka so emphasized.
Honorable mention would be droids like Proxy from The Force Unleashed, given his ability to take on not only the appearances but also the battlestyles of various Jedi and Sith that he had stored in his archive. In a combat situation he could potentially take the abilities and skills of Dooku or Anakin Skywalker. A normal jedi could be decimated, not to mention his ability to take on various appearances, allowing him to blend in almost anywhere should he need to.
IG-88 is unique, as he is truly self-aware. When he was first being programmed, using a top secret algorithm, something went wrong and altered the programming, granting true sentience. Also, the Tac Spec footman was advertised as "A Gentleperson's Gentlething", but could go into assassin/combat mode easily and was a force to be reckoned with. Lastly, the YVH Combat drods were very difficult to deal with, even for Jedi. An inexperienced Jedi would generally lose to one, while an experienced Jedi Knight would be about even with it. Masters can deal with them much better
I choose to be protected by the droid in Return of the Jedi that was upside down and getting its feet burned in Jabba's palace. "No! No! No!" In that silly voice. Lmfao. Why would they make droids feel pain? Like what's the point? So silly. I love it.
If you wanted to be super technical, you could have included the Recusant class destroyer on this list in terms of sheer firepower. Kind of blurs the line between droid and ship, but they were capable of operating without a single crew member and were essentially giant droids
One of my favorites is the YVH droids designed specifically to combat the Yuuzhan Vong. Which is an exceptional slap in the face given their abhorrence for droids and technology.
The AZ-Series Battle Droid. Reference: Star Wars Galaxy at War. They had a tendency to play cat and mouse games with individual prey, causing sentients to believe they had a sadistic streak. Frequent memory wipes were required to avoid this quirk.
@@majorflight02 I've heard the name a few times, I think he's from Legends but could be wrong. If I recall he's an old B1 Battle Droid that survived past the Clone Wars and well into the New Republic, basically broke free of his programming and became sadistic, using his military knowledge to go on killing sprees.
Mister Bones, Mister Bones How do you feel, Mister Bones? Rattlin'! Mister Bones feels rattlin'! Ha, ha, that's a good one Tell a little story, Mister Bones A funny little story, Mister Bones How can you stop an angry dog from biting you on Monday? That joke is old, the answer is to kill the dog on Sunday That's not the way to stop a dog from biting you on Monday How would you bring the thing about? Have the doggie's teeth pulled out!
If I was being hunted I would want a Commando droid to protect me, they aren't easy to destroy & have better abilities than B1 & Super battle droids I feel the dark troopers also deserved a mention in this video
I would definitely pick a platoon of IG-100 magna guards. My only change would be to have some with melee weapons and some with blasters and portable shields
Honestly, based on what we've seen on screen so far, I'd choose an IG-86 with 11's programming both pre and post first destruction. He has the best chances of blasting all the others down and if the shields of the Droideka don't give in, there's always the bomb in IG's chest
There's also HK-55, the pair 0-0-0 and BT-1 and the giant droid from book of boba. Not to mention the gods of zakuul and iokath and the eternal fleet controlled by Gemini droids and Scorpio. Also R2D2, that little guy has a huge kill count.
Another 1 that I think is underrated is the IG-110 lightsaber droid. Idk if it’s canon or not, cause it was in a clone was video game but no episode. But either way I think they have a sick design
Hey I got a video idea. Maybe you can rank some of the different animals and life forms from the universe and how potent they can be against the Jedi. Such as unsuspecting dangers such as large centepede creatures. Or even poisonous insects that look pretty gnarly. Thanks for all the videos you do. It makes cool background information and I learn a thing or two about the verse:)
What I don't get about Droidekas is why the Jedi don't just go inside the shields. We've seen Anakin and Ashoka get past a moving rayshield by literally letting it pass over them (they were in a box but that was more for stealth than the shield) and we see Rex at 2:39 blast one in the back of the head. They shoot a lot but we see Ashoka as a new Padawan handle that just fine, and someone like Obi-Wan who was renowned as being the unchallenged master of Soresu and being unhittable with blasters would surely be able to hold against them while moving through the shields. I mean hell, Republic Commando shows the best way to take down a Droideka is to walk towards it and stab it a few times.
@@masonjohnson4310 From how shielding seems to work in Star Wars, lightsabers cannot pass through shields. They'd have to deplete the shield's energy, which could take time.
@@masonjohnson4310 That's probably the most sensible answer I'm going to get here... can't just turn it off then turn it on because you'd lose the deflecting ability that way.
I'd choose IG-B to protect me since it didn’t kill Din Djarin. The last two droids seem like they're prone to spontaneous acts of violence. What did you say, Darth Revan had to watch his droid because it was prone to manslaughter? No thanks.
If magnaguards were used as an inquisitors during empire time, they would make much better job. It's weird they weren't kept, I'm sure empire could've afford few thousands without shock for the budget
Could the “Grievous” droid in Mandalorian S3 have been that JK-13 droid? The looks are different but the large crab machine, being piloted by some unusual creature, is an interesting similarity.
I always love The HK models for so many reasons. Not only that but when I think of HK? I think of The Gun Manufacture. Heckler and Koch which HK stand for.
The C3PO B1 battle droid from Attack Of The Clones, should've had an honourable mention.
*have. I feel you, though. lol
@@neallarsen4874 *should’ve. While should have is technically not wrong, the contraction should always be used if one exists. 👍 😅
Happy now 😂

That was a special droideka(It could fire while rolling), but yeah.
This is the first time I have ever heard someone pronounce droideka as droid-eeka
Never watched Ep1, just here for the $
It's cuz it's an artard who isn't a real fan of star wars and just read stuff online to make money for his employer

No other droid can compare with AP-5 and his masterful use of sarcasm as a weapon.
Hk units for sure. Hk47 from what I remember is actually still alive during the 0 bby Era, so that's a definite win.
Man, I sure love my "Droid Deeca" I also cannot believe that the "cal a Coid" would design it. Crazy stuff.

I would love to see the most deadly individual droids. I would also love to see the most deadly Star Wars cyborgs

I was thinking the same thing. I would have loved to see how a YVH went up against any of the older droids like HKs and Droideka
I always loved the assassin droids the most especially their action figures
HK-47 is the deadliest of them all.
Don't forget the Droideka Mk. II.
Just one of those made the regular droidekas look like toys. Literal turret of death with stronger shields.
cant forget the deadliest of them all, the mouse droid
Ranking the deadliest droid units would be cool

Good list only I would add to that list are YVH and the Dark Troopers
Individual droid unit list for sure would be cool!
Never heard of mr bones. Interesting.

Mister Bones, Mister Bones
How do you feel, Mister Bones?
Rattlin'!
Mister Bones feels rattlin'!
Ha, ha, that's a good one
Tell a little story, Mister Bones
A funny little story, Mister Bones
How can you stop an angry dog from biting you on Monday?
That joke is old, the answer is to kill the dog on Sunday
That's not the way to stop a dog from biting you on Monday
How would you bring the thing about?
Have the doggie's teeth pulled out!
God i love speratist droids
they all have such unique fuctions and designs and canonically very powerful
If think there should have been BX Commando droids
considering that a jedi cut down around 200 and still be able to get away the destroyer droids would be worth the price tag I would think.
The HK series is still my favorite.
Absolutely want an individual droid list, IG-88B has to be on there!
Amazing. Really want to see individual Droid video hopefully in the future for ranking !
"Droideeka" 😂
Excuse me?
Did you forget about Darth Gonk?
If I was being hunted I would want a Commando droid to protect me, they aren't easy to destroy & have better abilities than B1 & Super battle droids
I feel the dark troopers also deserved a mention in this video
I'd love to see a list of the deadliest droids in the galaxy definitely would have to include HK-47 on it
Proxy from the force unleashed had the training programs to be a formidable opponent to tons of people and was hard to defeat
Imagine an entire army of Destroyer Droids being dropped and rolling into a war.
My favorite deadly droids in are droideka magnaguards and commando droids
If I had to have one to protect me, it's got to be HK.
I would love to know the deadly individual droids!
I dunno…the mouse droid is pretty ruthless 👀😏
I would definitely pick a platoon of IG-100 magna guards. My only change would be to have some with melee weapons and some with blasters and portable shields
Despite it not being #1 on the list, I feel like the IG-88 would be best suited for defense and protection with it's sensor array and range of motion.
Honestly, based on what we've seen on screen so far, I'd choose an IG-86 with 11's programming both pre and post first destruction. He has the best chances of blasting all the others down and if the shields of the Droideka don't give in, there's always the bomb in IG's chest
There's also HK-55, the pair 0-0-0 and BT-1 and the giant droid from book of boba. Not to mention the gods of zakuul and iokath and the eternal fleet controlled by Gemini droids and Scorpio.
Also R2D2, that little guy has a huge kill count.
He says literally at the start of the video that he's going to focus on series not individual droids.
Another 1 that I think is underrated is the IG-110 lightsaber droid. Idk if it’s canon or not, cause it was in a clone was video game but no episode. But either way I think they have a sick design
The magna guard and the ig88 were always my favorite droids
Droids are my favorite characters in SW, idk why. Comando Droids are my favorite.

I would love to have a video of the most deadly single units
Your pronunciation of droid”eeee”kas is turning me to the dark side
"What if" the Separatists were willing to make better use of their other droids and not be so stingy with their credits.
Would like to see individual droid units too!!!
Deadliest droids please!!
I'm surprised the KX series droids weren't mentioned in this list considering they wiped out Mandalore.
What I don't get about Droidekas is why the Jedi don't just go inside the shields. We've seen Anakin and Ashoka get past a moving rayshield by literally letting it pass over them (they were in a box but that was more for stealth than the shield) and we see Rex at 2:39 blast one in the back of the head.

I mean hell, Republic Commando shows the best way to take down a Droideka is to walk towards it and stab it a few times.
Because you have to move slowly in order to pass through the shield. A droideka isn't exactly going to stand still and let that happen.
I figured that the lightsaber probably can't pass through as easily, as it's an energy weapon. The blade probably gets caught or something.
@@masonjohnson4310 From how shielding seems to work in Star Wars, lightsabers cannot pass through shields. They'd have to deplete the shield's energy, which could take time.
@@snappedsquire8479 They seem to stand still for the most part in the Clone Wars though, and their stubby little legs don't afford them much speed.
@@masonjohnson4310 That's probably the most sensible answer I'm going to get here... can't just turn it off then turn it on because you'd lose the deflecting ability that way.
HK's are my favourite droid series in terms of overall design
I choose the HK droids to protect me. And it's simply because this video rated them as the best.
I'd choose IG-B to protect me since it didn’t kill Din Djarin. The last two droids seem like they're prone to spontaneous acts of violence. What did you say, Darth Revan had to watch his droid because it was prone to manslaughter? No thanks.
what droid to protect me? AK 47. he would defenitly be happy about killing the 51 unit.
Please do individual as well
I think that the deadliest droids are Magnaguards, IG series droids, Droidekas, & Droid tri-fighters.
If magnaguards were used as an inquisitors during empire time, they would make much better job. It's weird they weren't kept, I'm sure empire could've afford few thousands without shock for the budget
Rank those "Deadly Droid" units, please.!!
Yes please
The Droideka is my favorite
Yes please for the individuals.
I wonder why the assassin droids didn’t also kill each other when they were activated
Deadliest Droid individual units please.
top of the best soldiers in the entire galaxy
I'd love to see Mr bones vs hk-47
Day 26 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon
If you played BF2 you’d know that BB-8 is deadlier than most Sith.
I thought the big battle droids in The Book Of Boba Fett was going to be on here
Could the “Grievous” droid in Mandalorian S3 have been that JK-13 droid? The looks are different but the large crab machine, being piloted by some unusual creature, is an interesting similarity.
i do wonder who the deadliest singular droid is
Deadliest Droid unit!!
IG-88 all day. He can take over a huge number of other droids and machines (because he took over Mechis III manufacturing). Also he's the Death Star.
I was hoping to see the BX series droids
Yea ok. Why are scammers so stupid?
I’d choose the droidika but install a better droid brain in it.
Yes, IG-110 lightsaber droid
Awesome
I always love The HK models for so many reasons. Not only that but when I think of HK? I think of The Gun Manufacture. Heckler and Koch which HK stand for.
Still hoping for “deadliest individual droids video”
I feel like the BX Series could be on this list
Answering Statement: HK-47. He is superior to every other meatbag created droid.
Yes, Pleazy
The HK. Speaking of which, no HK 47 clip? One snarky comment please!
What about the dark troopers
Ah yes, the droid-eeekkaah
I would like a video about the deadliest single Droids [=
Chopper: am I a joke to you?
During the clones wars weren't there droids that used lightsabers? Not sure if that was a videogame or the clones wars series.
In any situation, I would have any HK unit defend me
Epic.
What about the YVH series?
I got the 1k like. Woot!!
Yes more please I like to know the deadliest Droid God bless you Jesus loves you
is hk55 > 51?
Was there a Terentatek on Bad Batch S2Ep5?
No Abomibor?
Heck Yeah!
Waiting for the video on the deadliest individual droids. Who’s with meeeee?
Where was Chopper?
Chopper, war crimes galore
