OOM-9 showing that droid commanders deserved respect long before the arrival of super tactical droids.
Oh man he was better than the tactical droids 😂😂😂
Maybe because they didn't think about every statistical outcome and probability for every single outcome.
Original operation manager 9 was most likely a major command for first movie.
@debbiebernhardt5406 is that what OOM stands for Original Operation Manager? I didn't know that
@@debbiebernhardt5406 I just checked the Star Wars wiki, and it doesn't have anything on what OOM stands for. Could you give a source on where you got that information?
Anyone who played Galactic Battlegrounds knows what a legend OOM-9 is.
yeah i remember that campaign.
I do he was my second favorite campaign commander and a LEGEND AGREED, my favorite being Sev'rance Tann
Exactly right!
Man now I need to reinstall galactic battlegrounds
I came here to say this, but somehow knew it had already been said.
OOM-9 was a legend of nostalgia, it actually brought tears to my eyes seeing him again.
Gotta love OOM-9
As a Prequel trilogy fan it means a lot to me seeing his origins and his achievements.
imagine a series about background characters, where each episode tells the backstory/story of a background character, like "OOM9: A star wars story" or R2-D2's battle droids. and the series will live up to the title of "every character in star wars has a story"
That's a great idea
We would finally get the story of Jeans Guy
Echo didn't remember R2-D2's droids. Or at least Dave forgot like Toriyama forgot about Launch.
Play the droid campaign for Galactic Battlegrounds and you'll basically play the game of OOM-9 story
The full story of AZI-3 would be great. I love that droid. And I can’t wait to see him in season two of the bad batch.
OOM-9 is pretty cool. Everything from his color scheme, voice, to his overall competence as a droid commander just makes him interesting. I always appreciated how in the novelization of The Phantom Menace, he gets a lot more dialogue.
I agree.
Yep he is great
Oh my goodness 😂
How’s the head?
Its so light it feels like it isn’t even on his shoulders
Imagine if OOM-9 being a member of the Rebel Alliance fighting against the Empire.
The Rebel Alliance was composed of people from the Republic and Separatists who joined together against a common foe.
Imagine what a menace he would have been in the Clone Wars.
Id like to see oom 9 vs thrawn
Not always common goals. The Rebels want to restore the Republic while the Separatists wanted it gone and replaced by their own form of government.
Definitely a battle droid commander with a good record. Even some Tactical Droids can't boast about having his sort of success although it could be argued the central computer did much of the processing for him. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for this video and look forward to the next one about another forgotten Star Wars antagonist.
Haha, nerd
And a better commander than every known tactical droid
Excluding super tactical droids but they can’t boast of having a literal super computer as a brain
He won the silicone lottery
So glad this absolute chad is can be alive and thrive in Skywalker Saga, even adding extra lore for after his deactivation
Wow, he actually was more competent than many (non-clone) organic commanders, even of the republic!
And possibly by b1 commander droid standards as well.
OOM-9 has been my favorite Phantom Menace character since the 90’s. If Anakin didn’t destroy the Control Ship, OOM-9 would’ve decimated the Gungans
Personally OOM-9 is one of my favorite Droids within the Star Wars Universe. He was a true chad.
Had he survived or at least been recovered and refined or whatever, he would've made a great second in command under General Greavious.
Headcanon, General Kalani is a rebuilt OOM-9. I'm sticking with it.
If Darth Maul can survive being cut in half, anything is fair game.
*sigh* somehow, OOM-9 returned
it'd be pretty easy to handwave recreating OOM-9, since it would make a decent amount of sense to keep OOM-9 around to reverse engineer his command protocols (as was with OOM-14) and then archive it.
personally, i like to think the command battle droid in episode 3 we see is OOM-9, he is sassy to even grievous because he dislikes his new voice and grievous tolerated it because he knows OOM-9 is competent.
But how do you knew it was them, there are literally several commander droids?
But OOM-9 was melted down
It's a shame droids don't get attention like the clones do. They have a lot of potential.
That's cause they're the antagonists and are usually relegated to comic relief
Not to mention, that the usefulness and potential of the droids varied.
Filoni made them stupid and useless.
Just look at R0-GR from the Lego shows.
I like to think that the CCC helped play a roll in this. All the Battle Droids would report to the CCC, it would formulate plans and send them to OOM-9, where he would choose and change plans based upon battlefield conditions. I feel like when the Trade Federation and latter the CIS stopped using CCC's for armies, they lost fluidity in their military operations.
yep, should have kept CCCs, they should have just had multiple CCCs for redundancy, and then mind-linked the droids themselves so the ones upgraded with processors could have a psuedo-CCC if all CCCs are destroyed.
@@matthiuskoenig3378
I think the Tactical Droids fits what you described in the end.
In a Bad batch episode the used the head of one to activate offline battle droids, I thought it looken similar.
Edit:
Maybe if there where more tactical droids spread out through the army, since the old version was replaced by the super tactical droids then the old model could be repurpoused as a sergeant or something.
In Legends, I heard OOM-9 was rebuilt and was in services through into the Clones Wars. Sadly, that Legends no longer canon because we will get to see this droid commander in the Clones Wars.
This sent me reeling back to when I first started playing Galactic Battlegrounds. One of my favourite classic RTS games; and yeah, OOM-9 was an efficient MENACE to the ground forces of Naboo.
.... I STILL love playing his mission arc in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
mee too
"These Gungans are made of flimsy material, they break easily."
A Disney+ series about surviving droids after RoTS, having some off the droids developing personalities, having to hide and defend against the clones/new storm troopers
Just remember, Palpatine was a tyrant, the core worlds don’t care about you, and the outer rim was right to secede.
Commander OOM-9 was the prototype droid models but yeah he was a Scary voiced Battle Droid, OOM was the designation for the predacessor to B1 battle droids not the name of 1 individual droid they all were OOMs
Untold?
Man, I've been playing Star Wars BattleGrounds since i was a kid.
Galactic Battlegrounds is a kinda obscure game, sadly it got overshadowed when Empire at War came out.
Battle droid commanders should have a lot more respect including OOM9 should have been promoted like battle droid commander 224
In terms of specific droids, the first one that comes up is 224, the recently promoted commander sent to hunt for Yoda and three clones on the Toydarian Moon of Rugosa. His death was hilarious.
"But I just...got...promoted!"
As kids you just gravitate to certain characters, and for my little brother it was the Battle Droids and he couldn’t get enough of them. And I remember after we saw the movie my dad took us to a toy store to buy a Episode 1 toy and my brother got OOM-9
Oh yes I really wanted the LEGO Technic B1 Battle Droid 8001. Still eyeing it in adulthood.
@@silverchairsg I’d give anything for a Lego MTT
@@c-secofficer123 Well I satisfy my desires vicariously by watching Lego RUclipsrs build the sets I want.
From what I’ve read on Wookiepedia, the OOM commanders had a 10 minutes autonomy without the command ship, meaning that when it blew up, OOM-9 had 10 minutes to watch his whole army fall around him and realize that he had lost despite doing everything right. Truly an unfair ending, even for a villain !
Ep.1 droids were terrifying compared to 2 and 3
I’d love to see more videos about Separatist commanders, including Rune Haako and Daulty Dofine like you mentioned earlier.
I knew him since my childhood. As a kid I saw the pantom menace and dived into wookipedia, droids were my favourites characters and I quickly learn the name of OOM9. I named one of my B1droid lego figures after him x) . Nostalgia.
All of the goofy nasal B1s telling stories about OOM-9
“They say even his vocabulator sounded cool!”
The only Droid to order Darth maul around he hated it but his hate helped him capture that gungan leader and convert him to the dark side. Lieutenant Sykes needs an honorable mention he damn near beat the trade federation single handedly through plot armor and guerilla attacks.
We need a Star wars series from the CIS point of view.
I would LOVE this!
@@Sanguivore Right? Maybe even see some battle droids interacting with civilians in a formal noncombat sense like we did with the clones.
@@imyourdaddy5822 I'd definitely watch it! :D
It’s a shame he didn’t get a “death” scene in the film. And I would love to see videos on the Neimoidian bois
Love seeing battle droids get some love. Folks give the battle droids so much crap, especially the B1s. Roger roger.😁
I played galactic battlegrounds, OOM-9 was my favorite, glad to see others appreciate him too!
Yes definitely give us details about, Gunray, Rune and Dofiine.
Y'know, it's almost funny really. Gunray trusted OOM-9 *more* than his own secretary droid TC-14, whom received almost excessive amounts of memory wipes by her Neimoidian owners.
Amazing how this droid has more character development than anyone from the sequel trilogy
true + facts + logic + respect + chad
OOM-9 was an absolute legend
We all now know the true chad and villain of the Clone Wars, Mega chad B-1 OOM-9.
I’m not the commander, he’s the commander
I guess I’m the commander now
I always remember the 224, he had just been promoted
That couldn't have been oom9 on the trade federation battle ship outside the door which Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were behind. Or in the hanger because Qui-Gon cut down both yellow driods. Cool vid though. I love oom9.
You're right. The Battle droid Commander on the Trade Federation Starship where he fails to capture Obi-Wan, and his master was OWO-1 and the Battle droid Commander that Qui-Gon sliced was Commander 2163
I love it when Galactic Battlegrounds campaigns gets some love :)
I was always thought that the Commander droids that he was were all different, not the same one droid
OOM-9 era tão eficiente, ou até mais do que um Droid Tático T-Series. Gosto do conceito de um personagem originalmente fraco se virando com o que tem.
The moment you realize a droid has as much screen time then the cover antagonist
When a single regular battle droid is important enough to get his own character in Lego Star Wars the Skywalker saga
I'm old school. I learned about OOM-9 from galactic battlegrounds. Definitely an underrated game.
The underrated badass droid commander that should have gotten some screen time in the Clone Wars.
This droid did around six months of campaigning in the time between Qui-Gon and Obi-wan arriving and leaving Naboo. Holy hell.
OOM-9 is my fave droid in the series
This droid was a giga chad. Do more specific battle droid character lore videos please
Crazy how much he did during the movie that just wasnt in the focus of the film, dude literally took Naboo
Fun fact: OOM-9 was voiced by Charles Martinet (the voice of Mario) in Galactic Battlegrounds
I was just booting up galactic battlegrounds when I saw my boy OOM-9 on screen.
Video acquired, roger roger
I remember reading many of OOM-19 history in the game SW Battlegrounds where you can play as OOM-19 in the federation campaing.
3:12 that part, there were a few parts he covered inaccuratly:
OOM-14 wasn't really captured, and OOM-9 didn't recover the software by himself, OOM-14 was actually killed by Naboo troops from the town where OOM-14 had set up a base camp where the CCC software was located that controlled a leigon of B1 battle droids that were in charge of capturing the small town of harte secur, just before OOM-14 was killed he sent an S.O.S as the Naboo troops then stole the Software causing OOM-14's troops to shutdown and be disconnected from the droid control ships CCC, as the town of Harte Secur worked at reverse engineering the CCC software to seize control of the entire droid army, Viceroy Gunray received the S.O.S in time to realize that his invasion could be compromised, he contacted OOM-9 to warn him about the Incident, and OOM-9 left his battalion of droids at the last town they captured and he along with a squad of Droidekas, a small platoon of Security Droids and a Nemoidian technician and 4 AATs he then arrived at OOM-14s base camp where he moved on to harte secur, he destroy the towns outer defenses as the Platoon moved in to recover OOM-14s software, rendezvousing with the Nemoidian technician at the base camp OOM-9 then restored the Software into the base camp as OOM-14s leigon of Droids were reactivated and where placed under OOM-9s command and ordered the droids to destroy the town of Harte Secur and Massacre the inhabitants... that's what mostly happened look up on Wookiepedia on OOM-9 and his biography.
If you're looking for someone else to talk about, I'd go with Rune Hako. He was with Gunray in all three movies and I'd love to learn if he did anything of noteworthiness during the Clone Wars, since much like the Separatists Council(outside of Gunray, Watt Tambor, and Poggle) the Clone Wars TV series didn't show what he was up to.
Also, since you just talked about all OOM-9 did during The Phantom Menace, it shows how much bigger that story was, and now makes me hope for a video talking about everything that happened during The Battle of Naboo, similar to the video on the First Battle of Geonosis.
Don't worry my 5-yo memory captured him well. I miss prowling around the streets of theed on the ps1. & the gungan city gta'ing around. & tatooine aw good days. I was in aw of the different colors on the B1's & the Lego sets that showed it all off. Droideka was (& probably still is) my spirit animal
I love you picked the trade federation campaign, in which OOM-9 (or just omnine) is the main character, from SW Galactic Battlegrounds (The Star Wars RTS using Age of Empires 2 engine and mechanics) to extend its lore.
OOM-9 was featured in Starwars Galactic battlegrounds. A lesser known starwars strategy game in the early 2000s. And his name was pronounced oom nine, not oh oh em nine.
There are multiple battle droid commanders shown in EP1. They’re not all OOM-9. They have different voices.
The fact he took advice from others and reevaluated his plans on the fly, as well as not getting hung up on Jedi and just dispatching the necessary forces, OOM-9 showed that for a B-1 he was far superior to the Tactical Droids.
Most Likely not the Super Tactical Droids, but still.
OOM-OOM-OOM-9! HERO OF THE CIS! OOM-OOM-OOM-9! HERO OF THE CIS! OOM-OOM-OOM-9! HERO OF THE CIS! OOM-OOM-OOM-9! HERO OF THE CIS!
Great video. OOM-9 was quite the commander. You should make more videos about more characters in Star Wars that no one talks much about. For example, there isn’t any video about AZI-3 the droid that was first introduced in the clone wars season 6 and later in the bad batch season 1. I would love to see a video about AZI-3 and what does his survival means for the bad batch season two. I am sure your channel will get a ton of likes if you make this video. So please can you do it? It would make everyone including me so happy.
Nice topic, more background lore is always a win!
OOM-9 was a great commander but I also remember another droid commander who's role while miner was nice OOM-10
O man, thank you for this video. I remember all those Galactic Battlegrounds missions :D
OOM-9 Even had his own action figure.
What about the droid who saved Grievous in TCW show?
(The "General, behind you!" droid)
If this droid didn't exist, the Clone War would've been a very different story.
Because of this video I have learned about and will be playing Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, thanks Geetsly's.
Glory to OOM-9 hero of the Separatist Alliance!!!
OOM 9 AND OOM 14 were the most famous. I can still hear OOM 9s callout when playing swgb 😁
I’ve been waiting for this my entire life.
I have fond memories of playing as him in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
Ahh this droid was involved in my favorite galactic battlegrounds campain mode
I played the oom-9 campaign at the time in Star Wars Galactic Battelgrounds and I honestly didn't think anyone would collect it today. Good video
HELL YEAH, DROID LOVE.
0:00 Yeah, you talk about the 3 Clone Commanders at the end of the previous video that discuss about the Sith, Geetsly.
A true legend
Truly inspiring work
Great video👍
I loved playing as him on Star Wars Battlegrounds. The story in it was a pretty good background for the Naboo invasion.
God, this brings back memories of playing as OOM-9. I loved Galactic Battleground, it was an amazing game, wish we could get another one.
"Open fire." :D - Oom-9 probbly
These droids may be evil and funny, but even they have their moments to shine.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time.
I remember this dude from way back in the day in the SW Age of Empires game.
If you're going to tell the story line of Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds you might want to mention in the video that this content is where it's from maybe add a little screen time of the game in there as well
You predicted my thoughts perfectly in your suggestion to make (a) video(s) about other other protagonists that are in the background of the movies, but equally important to lore as the main characters.
OOM-9 is a legend, I even have one of the old figure of him.
Always loved the yellow commander markings
Did not realize that he had as much screen time as Maul that’s wild
00M-9? (Force Theme plays) 00-9? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Long time.
One of the few competent droid leaders.
I always remembered 00M-9✊ since I first saw the movie
Honestly, I figured those were different commanders throughout, with OOM-9 only in command at the Battle of the Great Grass Plains. Either that, or OOM-9 was the designation of the type of droid commander rather than a specific droid. I didn't realize they were the same character throughout.
Attack of the Clones the Battle droids sounded like battle robots
So now I know why and what happened to this great commander and why he was never seen again during the Clone Wars and there after. A sad fate really, for a commander who did so much for the Trade Federation
I actually didn't know just how badass that droid was. Sure, he seemed competent in TPM, but not to this extent. Thanks, this made me a fan of OOM-9!
Well, i will always remember and respect this droid.
