“Those things were smart, armored, and accurate. When they were first deployed, I had countless assignments to sabotage these babies on the ground on Cato Nemoidia.” -CS-8711-12 “Cheng”, Captain and Scout of the 442nd Siege Battalion
I might have already said this, but you should really make a collection of these.
James Davis I’ve not been putting enough effort lately- you’re right.
@@chengzhou8711 I beg to differ; quality is preferable to quantity, and your comments are well written! You don't have to put them under every video.
Cheng Zhou I actually that was a quote until I saw the name no joke
Cidball Cidball some day
Now this is what I was expect when I hear the words “droid army”. Not some goofy two-legged walking targets holding rifles, but these terrifying sentient gunships killing with ruthless efficiency.
*ROGER ROGER*
General Kenobi
These things are OP
To some poor planetray defence force shmuck with A280 blaster rifle and no plot armor for defence B1s and B2s weren't joke at all.
I honestly think the massive waves of B1 and B2 battle droids is honestly terrifying especially if you're a clone and you're vastly outnumbered they only seem goofy and ineffective because Jedi are present and Jedi are the ultimate ex machina.
Man the memories of jumping in one, getting your droid marine backup and flying right in that republic hanger to do some sabotage. Best time gaming by myself. Rip 05 battlefront 2. Rip Xbox original.
You can get on your Xbox one and download that bitch for ten bucks not to mention that the first game is free rn
Still got it for the ps2, good times
Playing that game to the degree melted my ps2
really cheap on pc and the servers are back up
you can get it on steam for like 10 bucks i think and its got controller support. (you may want to install the HD menu fix.. if menu resolution don't fit your screen like i had to.
I'd also recommend looking into installing the Remaster project which just makes the game look a lot better if you want something that changes the game up but still all around great.
SW: Battlefront 2 Saga edition it makes the game look better adds new classes or load outs for existing ones thats more accurate to other sources i guess. adds maps from Battlefront 1 and custom maps like Umbara also game modes like uber conquest supremacy order 66 heroes vs villains so on.
Than you have cross era battles. 501st vs Clones Empire vs CIS rebels vs CIS and even though this makes no sense the rebels vs the republic... ya know the one they wanted to restore but i love it. Sadly no cross era space battles and no multiplayer (yet.. maybe..) you still have regular battles and new hero units its over all really damn good.
(yet.. idk if its still being worked on.)
Heck they terrified me when I was a kid. They look and sound demonic.
And it is the Star Wars version Hind helicopter during the Soviet Afgan War. Without pilots.
Peter Yim
Correction, with highly efficient, highly loyal, and even highly competent A.I, pilots.
Isn’t it weird that the HMP played the same role as Mi-24s in Afghanistan and the LAAT visibly looks like a giant Mi-24 without its rotor and with the tail cut off.
Star Wars was very fond of historical vehicles, and they took many roles from modern day equipment to make it maybe even more realistic.
I love the puffy cheeks it has. makes it look pissed off.
The Lieutenant The rockets provided to the rebels are just like the SAMs the US supplied to the Mujahadeen
The entire Onderon Arc in the Clone Wars was inspired by the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan.
@@dankmemer2385 300 or so hinds went down in Afghanistan soooo not quite the same thing.
I'm so glad for this HMP, but I still miss the Mechanized Assault Flyer from the first and original Star Wars Battlefront. It deserves a comeback and plus it was a predecessor to the HMP so makes sense to have it too.
Padme: "What is it, Commander Thorn?"
Commander Thorn: "We're under attack by the Separatist garrison. Looks to be a full invasion!"
Padme: (surprised) Invasion!?
Commander Thorn: "We can't get to you! I suggest you get to a ship as soon as you can!"
*Soon a battle breaks out*
Commander Thorn: Ah let's move! HURRY!!
*The clones make a run for it but are cut of by HMP Droid Gunships which deploy reinforcements. A fights begins with the clones surrounded and soon taken out. Commander Thorn is all that's left.*
Commander Thorn: (glares) FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!
Top 10 saddest moments in history
Surprising their deployment was pretty slow by the republic.
Well thorn did his best.
Cringe.
Obi-Wan Kenobi it wasn’t cringe
Obi-Wan Kenobi says the Virgin himself
Every clone gangster until the gunship starts speaking clanker
Ryaquaza 1 woah droidist alert
@@britishwaffleproductions4762 lmao
One of the best scenes was when that Tactical Droid fistbumped the gunship on Onderon.
Oh my God I remember playing Republic at War and those damned droids appeared to ruin my day. And if they attacked in groups, I didn't even play anymore, I just turned off the game.
The Separatists got all the OP units in Republic at War. The HMPs were the worst.
I found that turbo lasers are beasts against them. But yeah i agree they freaking suck if you run into them without anti air support
Which is why I prefer to play as the CIS XD
Can't say I blame the clones. That thing looks terrifying.
It looks like a huge carnivorous bug.
@@FlymanMS Exactly! And that is, I think we'll all agree, terrifying
@@shan1star129 I always thought it looks amazing, in a non terrifying way, I just think it looks cool
@@imperialtrooper927 If It was possible I would like to take a ride on one of those gunships on the desert while blasting Max Rebo music the same song they were playing while going to the sarlacc pit
4:46 I bloody love space engineers
6:35 Droid fist bump
I actually always wanted to know more about this Gunship, thanks Geetsly!
6:09 do not underestimate our memes
Cheng Zhou nice
And if you don’t get it... 6:09, 69
The Confederacy of Independent Systems has the best memes in the galaxy
What about the droid attack on the Wookies?
“If the rebel army falls the citizens will lose their cringe”
*Droid gunship appears on front of a group of clones.
Clone in the back: watch for those wrist rockets lol!
The clones continue to be shot over and over
Last time I was this early, there were more than two Sith.
Five for me..... XD
This is getting out of hand
Are you sure this video is not sponsored by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance?
Commander Heavy: What’s that?!
Unnamed 442nd lieutenant: It’s one of those new HMP droid gunships! We need get out now!
Hody: I can take this. Get out of here, while I force jump and wreck it!
This wasn’t a gunship it was a super heavy unit, and with the added benefits of unloading battle droids. The heavy weapons makes it an absolutely terrifying menace to fight against, and you needed heavy weapons to bring it down, but that only if you can hit it. This thing will shred infantry formations and will destroy light armor, and every clone troopers will probably be afraid fighting these Gunships as the war progress.
The HMP has the same exact role as the LAAT Gunship. Is the LAAT not a Gunship then?
Fun fact in the onderon episode, which was an homage to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, the HMP is supposed to be the New Hind-D gunship and the Rebel missile launchers are the Stingers provided by the CIA
It looks like a frog! A flying saucer frog.
RIBBIT RIBBIT BITCH
Ah yes
*Kermit chopper*
...of death
Ok. Theres no need to yell
That episode was Charlie Wilson's war in space, I thought the part with Hondo was an awesome touch, republic weapons through clandestine intermediaries.
They are terrifying. Heck when I played Republic At War as the Republic those gunships alone would annihilate majority of my forces.
The Senate terrified them the most.
The HMP is easily one of my favourite small ships in starwars tied with the arc 170
2006 SW battlefront 2 also had them in space battles, not just in atmosphere.
I think they can be used in both just not to the effectiveness as they would be in atmosphere. Kinda how tie fighters were less effective in atmosphere than tie strikers and vice versa! My interpretation tho. The og battlefront had some awesome additions to the lore and I still beleive the rise of the empire is canon in my eyes
When I first saw it, I was a little bit frightened by it too. Poor clones.
Understandable. Those faces are freaky.
I love when you have 6 piolts in a droid gunship in SWBF II. Just unkillable in pvp with those weapons too
What about the droid general? That should be the next topic.
I feel the best time the droid army is represented is when there aren’t powerful Jedi or Jedi around at all. Look at the Speratist attack on Ryloth, Both Geonosis battles, The attack on the banking clan, the attack against Ayla Secura,The battles for Felicia, Onderon and many more.
I always thought this was an actual ship not a Droid omg
I had the Lego set, it was an absolute beast
"B Y Y O U R C O M M A N D"
The Droid Gunship indirectly forged the Mandalorian.
Poor commander Thorn he fought till the end, and he shall not be forgotten
I loved the inclusion of Space Engineer at 4:40
Ado Emmon. Never heard of him, but I always love learning more about Star Wars I think I'll check him.
(One look at Wookiepedia later).
There wasn't much on this guy, in fact, Geetsly's pretty much summed up everything about him from 4:40-5:16. That's kind of sad. LOL.
After watching this video I think it would be really cool if you made a video comparing the Republic LAAT/I Gunship and the HMP Droid Gunship. I would also like a video about the Droid Trifighter.
This is crazy I just watched that episode last night!
Loved this ship so much that in my Spore play-though, I recreated it during the space segment.
The best part is that Obi-wans capital ship is called "the Negotiator". 😂😂😂
Ah yes, the negotiator
When Cut talking to Rex about why he deserted he said his drop ship was caught in between to Droid gunships and shot down
4:41 lol Screenshot from Space Engineers. Nice.
Probably my favourite craft in Star Wars. Bloody love these things
6:34 I just love their voices
They are one of my favourite gunships when not THE FAVOURITE
anyone notice that his intro length changes based on the length of the video
like he wants to keep it at 10 min
The Brick Rigs screenshot fucking sent me lmaoooooo
Hallo ! :)
So that video sparked a question in me : why was there no droïd-piloted ships able to transport people or cargo ? Well, after the clone war, I guess there was a pretty heavy anti-droid sentiment/policy in the Empire, particulary against combat able droïd but it still seems like a waste... (and obviously the original trilogy would have not exist if there was, but beside that is there an in-universe reason?)
If you already answered that in another vid, feel free to just guide me towards it, I'll be happy to watch it :)
Some might say it's "Legends" but that ship was a real pain to destroy in the 501st story line when it landed in your hanger on Battlefront 2 (2005)
My friends and I have affectionately nicknamed the HMP the "Hump" even though it's completely flat.
Also, "By your command' is much cooler than "Roger Roger"
Hey Geestly how about the Acclamator class Landing Ship or the Arquitens class Light Cruiser, Would absolutely like to see a review on those from you.
Clones: this I'd just like...oh...ummm that's a scary looking ship
droids: we got em
You know I just realized that all the clone wars vehicles have so many rockets.
Practical powerful, and flexible gunships that are AI controlled and able to carry a variety of weapons even act as droid carriers but primarily were designed as Gunships and support for the troops and designed to be intimidating as hell which loses none of their capabilities and perform exactly as they were designed to do, kill everything it encounters. Okay that's terrifying. Being able to speak to their commanding officer and sounds like Cylons.. Okay that's absolutely terrifying. 0_o'
Meanwhile, the Mechanized Assault Flyer of Battlefront I 2004 gets ignored a whole darn lot.
it was also known to operate as a raider.... CYLON VIRUS DETECTED!
The gunships also terrify Saw Gerrera and Lux.
Idk why but when those those ships speak it’s creepy
I like the Space Engineers screen shot. It would be a sad day in hell if the HMP Gunship was as good in Starwars.
Just add shields and hydrogen instead of the wing tip heavy lasers. That would work well
Basically the Star Wars version of the Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter: Versatile, hard to kill, tons of firepower and the ability to carry troops into combat AND support them after doing so.
Clones dropship Resembles mi-24 more
These where so deadly in classic battlefront 2, was a beast for space battles
I always thought they said "Fly on your command"
I can lowkey see the CIS trolling everyone by giving the HMP gunships anime girl voices>:3
I actually liked this design. It reminds me a bit of the Defiant class starship from "Star Trek"
Can you do an in-depth look at the juggernaut tank?? Those things are so freaking cool!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those things were a hassle to shoot down in Battlefront 2
This thing is OP in battlefront 2 space battles
Did I really see an HMP made in SPORE?
If I remember correctly, this gunship was actually playable in the OG Star Wars Battlefront on one map and completely OP against anything the Republic had to offer 😅
Does anyone had battlefront 2 ps2 flashback ? When you could put seven droids in it and board the venators ? That was fun. Especially letting some bomb on a starship ready to leave, and see it blow up in space later, as it left the hangar...
Yeah but when you landed it in the hanger as a mobile command post the droids would just fly it away and leave you there
@@thatsjimbo3095 I agree, and more than often they would fly it away in the wall. But it was a fun feature
every time you say blow something to hell i laugh
These gunships vs Vultures, which was more effective in their role?
Was that gus at 6:00 as the commando droid, why does that voice sound so much like his
Probably the most useful CIS air support
Imagine having one as a pet. Thats what i want
those r the things that blew thorn's squad to scraps
R.I.P Thorn
the only shock trooper i respected
Aw man what about rhys jek and thire 😪
@@skinnyj123 oh ye and them
I was only here to hear “do not underestimate our memes” I was not disappointed
"By your command"
That's one sexy ship I would of added to my army
The HMP reminds me of the Soviet Hind gunships, their use in Andaran(?) reminds me more of the Hind's use in Afghanistan
And the clandestine donation of rockets mirror the provision of Stinger missiles to Mujahideen.
Congratulations. You just triggered a flashback to Steela's death
Pedophile: hey kid want some free candy?
General Grievous: Hello there!
Wut
@@cqbjones4861 since grievous is an enforcer for the CIS, he's technically a law enforcer too. So grievous being a law enforcing agent as well as being a military leader would naturally be the one to take care of the pedophile. THAT and i'm trying to make comment of the week.
Populous Master. Oh okay, it wasn’t clear at all from the comments just saying
Great vid 👍
I just hand signed the death of Thorn
Makes you wonder how Cylons would rate against the Droid Army.
Armoured Productions Well, BSG weaponry is a few technological tiers below that of Star Wars, but I'd say that at the least the Raiders would give Vulture Droids a run for their money
I also love your vids
Amazing depth of storytelling
And then there's Disney: let's put gender-neutral racially-diverse driods, that'll make it more Star Wars-y
Hamman Samuel or you could just enjoy what’s good about Star Wars
Did exactly that & had fun watching TROS
What do you think would win,this or a republic gunship?
Its a 50/50
The ship who shot first wins
If you see one flying towards you: RUN!
what would i do?
i would do as i do in battlefront
STEAL THE SHIP!
i care not that its a droid, i have a rouge security droid in the ranks of the republic, YOUR SHIP IS MINE
I hope we see more of these in season 7
Didn’t Cut Laquane talk about being attacked by a droid gunship during the battle of geonosis?
Seems like their design, at least the ammo payloads, were based on Mi-24 Hind attack-support helicopter.
Can you make a video about the bad Batch
Imagine a fast droideka with missiles (🥺)
By your command
Was the gunship an actual droid like the vulture droid or tri fighter droid or was it piloted by droids?
It was an actual droid with a droid brain like vultures and tri fighters
