Never Mind commandos are far more practical for spec ops and frontline combat but magna guards are just better. They have incredibly strong armor, there head isn’t a weak point, and they can hold off Jedi. commandos usually don’t last as long against Jedi as magnaguards.

Nice little a Christmas story refrence there. It is phrik technically but I figured that's what you probably meant. That's the only "Frick" that comes to mind. Clever!

Wait a second, Grievous personally train each and every one of them?!!?! In that case, then, losing a Magnaguard would be the equivalent of losing a clone trooper... Whenever you lost a clone trooper like Fives, Waxer, or Hevy (And Hardcase) you lost their unique personalities that came with each clone... So in a way, whenever Grievous lost one of his Magnaguard, he'd lose the training and skills possessed by that individual Magnaguard...

The markings on the capes also look like vulture droid photoreceptors

Just use an outer layer of the same Phrik alloy as the electrostaves and it'll be fine. I suspect that wasn't the case only because of Palpatine/Sidious and his background machinations. He didn't want these droids, let alone Grievous himself, to be TOO difficult to destroy, just difficult enough that they would serve their purpose in his schemes.

If we want Magnaguards they need the Clone Assassins as a counter.

I can imagine these things punching through walls to kill someone.

@@agentc7020 you have to take into account their duranium frames, the Terminator wiki doesn't specifically say if their skeletons are made of steel or titanium, but i don't think they would last long against a barrage of a B2s repeater, those things fire rate is insane, also the T-800s don't appear to have a sturdy frame to protect their inner components against the highly refined plasma of SW, Clone Troopers with the heavy DC-15A wich was ion based had trouble taking them down, compared to the primitive Skynet plasma weaponry, i don't think it would pack a lot of punch against the B2s, then you have the rocket variants and the jump jet B2s.

In the vintage star wars animation they shine really well, intimidating af, love how they spin the staff or make complex jumps with it (best example is in the figth with anakin n the yellow ones, one of em isnt toutching the ground for a moment but for his stave, super quick)

The magnagaurd was one of my favorite droids of the series

MagnaGuards exist The metanerdz empire I take your entire stock

I always loved these guys when I was a kid watching clone wars, all time favorite droid. I’d take an army of these guys any day.

That fight with the swordsman was actually Ford's idea. It turns out he was sick that day and didn't have the energy for a fight, so he suggested to Lucas "Can't I just shoot the guy?" Which he thought would be really funny and it was. One of the most classic fight scenes in modern cinema was a complete fluke as it turns out.

Also in Legends there's IG-179, a personal unit for Iron Knight Luxum.

I remember a video saying Grevious hated the guards and he gave them the cloaks to make them more Kaleesh like him.

FINALLY!!

I've always wondered why Obi-Wan had so much rivals (Grievous, Maul, Ventress, etc.), and why Anakin didn't. Then I realized Anakin kills them all.

I love everything you do guys ! I've watched everything ( took me a while to actually get an account and subscribe) ( I also loved the halo video , I wanted to get into the universe , but didn't really know how )

holowan labs also produced IG Lancer combat droids who did make up a major part of CIS army being the troops of banking clan, aloong with hailfire droids, for example

Actually in canon they also used E-5 blasters and rocket launchers. Also what’s up with IG droids always self destructing

These are my favorite droids

One huge omission was their introduction to the star wars universe via the 2003 clone wars animated series when they helped in the capture of Palpatine during the attack on Corusant.

Nice one. Can you make a video about more IG series droids?)

Please do a video on the Maxillipede shuttle!

The staffs are made of Frik Alloy because whenever a Jedi saw a Magnaguard that’s what they’d say...

Did Cad Bane ever get his Rogue Class Starfighter with Elite Weapons and a cloaking device?

I often find that Intimidation Tactics can end an entire war with ease.

I love the Magnaguard such bad ass Troops.

I like the new format

Grab the Magnastaffs after a battle and you can get a nice supply of Phrik alloy to reforge into useful gear. There's Lightsabers and Lightstaffs, shields and armour and even blasters. And post Clone Wars maybe a quick raid on Baktoid Armor Workshops while it's chaos when the CIS is shut down - although if you're Jedi, getting out of dodge would be priority number one.

If I was Koth I would've taken the opportunity to take out a few magnagaurds when I pushed Gerevious back.

3:35 I think he was using the IG100 encirclement has a counter for not being force sensitive. He was simply making the duel even as is his tribal warrior's way

I wish we got to see more of these guys becAuse they were really good design and utility wise

7:03 If in Canon then yes you are right, but in Legends we first saw them in Star Wars: Clone Wars Micro series. We also have technically seen them talk in Canon it was just in the unfinished Crystal crisis arc. I always found it weird that they are suppose to be able to keep fighting even without their heads, but when that one Magna guard survived from being crushed by that weight he was killed as soon as Kenobi cut off his head? Think Lucas instantly forgot that he made them able to fight without their heads in a short amount of time.

YES! First view! Anyways, why didn't they use lightsabers? Or maybe that semi-canon lightsaber rifle?? And also, we don't see them kill that many Jedi... They mostly just capture them or fail to kill them.

I once found that ig-100 to ig-105 have the same bodies but different programming and basically a different color, see episode III blue ig-101 and white ig-102

Hmmm which electrostaff would be rhe best design???

I remember back when these guys didn't have names and were just called Grievous Bodyguard.

Magnaguards are awesome.

Great clip I really did the they would be much much better. Personal the driod commando units were better on security to officers in my opinion. I would have made there swords out off a light saber resistance metal and went with that way. If I were in the CIS.
