The Separatist army was resurrected because of the Yuuzhan Vong War so they found their redemption.

Super Battle Droids are so cool and so terrifying. These droids are not to be messed with, especially in Republic Commando. B2s will always be one of the coolest parts of the CIS droid arsenal and droid history as a whole. Nice to see so many Droid videos recently so we can appreciate the other side of the Clone Wars. And "Watch those wrist rockets" will be a phrase we all hold close to our hearts for as long as there are B2s.

The Mandalorian demonstrates the power and terror of the B2 very effectively.

That scene where those B2s coming towards Windu really blew me away

I want cortosis B2s to show up in more stories and games! Absolutely terrifying concept.

Now imagine a Scorpinek's chassis infused with said alloys? I would most certainly be expensive af, but it'd also be essentially indestructible against almost anything. The shield could honestly be removed at that point to reduce cost but with its absence I'd further enhance the beast's targeting computer and integrate a few missile launchers. Just like the B3 Ultra Battle Droid, the Scorpinek woulda been absurdly OP if they had just doubled their production numbers.

The B2 is honestly one of the single scariest war droids in star wars in my opinion. It's a heavy infantry unit meant to see mass deployment, with 2 assualt rifles in its fist, and the ability to have that on both arms, or a heavy weapon and the two assault rifles. All this with the armor of a light tank that renders it all but immune to you and your buddies rifles. Unless you have a lightsaber, heavy weapons, or the skill and knowledge of a clone trooper to know exactly where to hit it, and the skill to do so, you simply aren't stopping it. Honestly probably the only reason the clones at Geanosis could deal with them is they were still mostly using the DC-15A which is bassically an anti-material rifle in power so it could brute force its way to a kill. And even then, if I recall correctly even that can struggle to get through a B2's armor in spots.

So, their is Phrik, Cortosis, and Beskar. These Three materials are the Only Lightsaber Proof materials in the Star Wars Galaxy. Idea: Make an Alloy combining All Three, and make a Super Alloy that is Impossible to cut with a lightsaber. Maybe a Lightsaber Hilt made of this alloy. The Khûldar Race (Zarvanian Dwarves) are great craftsmen and smiths. They can take any material and work it into something both Beautiful & Strong. The Khûldar would definitely be good friends with anyone who is good at creating stuff. The Khûldar are of the Zarvanian Races, meaning they do have some Relationd with The Kipu-Men.

6:34 I don’t think that’s a photoreceptor; I think it’s just a restraining bolt to keep the droids in check.

LOVED the philosophical end portion of this video. This was a Metanerdz classique

As my love and respect for the droid army grows so too does my love for the B2 and its battle value

While I understand why people found that episode of Mandalorian out of place in the series, the topic of droid independence and the legacy of the CIS made it really interesting to me.

sweet new the B2s are gotten covered. they are funny looking but also dangerous droids

on the b1 it was noted that the b1 with the indepdnant control was still more effective with a central control computer to likely coordinate them better. also the droideka was made by the colicoids so it's possible that they were bought by the cis or trade federation at a discount for exotic meats.

I wish the abuse of the droids and their sentience/plight to be free was brought up more in Star Wars canon. For so long it’s been kind of overlooked as just a fact of the setting. You’d think with a Hollywood so interested in social justice topics, droid revolution would make an interesting story.

I think a part of the problem is that the Star Wars setting is, at least in general terms, already written quite some distance ahead and any story has to take place within that pre-arranged framework. So if a massive societal issue like this was to be explored, you could only do so much with it, because you have to come back around to the same galactic status quo. No room to give a liberation movement a wide-spanning happy ending or even lasting legacy. At most it'd have to be a story confined to some limited locale, like an Outer Rim planet or sector. Which can still work of course, but it'd be a bittersweet ending, knowing this sympathetic struggle that you rooted for the whole movie/comic/whatever is still under the heel in millions of other worlds and will be for many more years.

B2s are hands down one of my favorite robot designs in scifi. theyre just so fucking good looking. That was one hell of a philosophy tangent too good god

Always love these breakdowns

The scariest thing a clone could see, and sadly, a B2 was often the last thing a clone saw.

It's a shame how no Star Wars media wants to depict B2 Super Battle Droids like the nightmares that they are in Republic Commando. Guess having them stomp the protagonists at every turn in the Clone Wars wouldn't have been as fun.

Fantastic piece of work! Love how it all came together. Good job Metanerdz!

These are my favorite droids in the franchise. Their design is so simple and satisfying. I love just looking at them. However I hated how they looked in The Clone Wars.

They remind me so much of the Centurions from the Battlestar Galatica series from 04-08. Yes I know the B2 design came first before the (fourth attempted?) BSG Reboot did in 04 2 years after Star Wars EpII: AOTC

That E4 Barron droid is quite well endowed 😂

Such a great channel to find knowledge beyond the movies.

I really like all these droid videos

Pretty neat links to Greek mythology and the Bible. All stories are ancient especially those that directly reference ancients stories.

Great video!

I wonder how much it would hut to be punched in the gut by one of them. One of the most powerful hands and arm power of any droid unit

Thanks for this, the B2 is an nice looking droid but not much is explained about them in the movies or series. I don't wanne sound as a broken record, but can I ask if you are still planning to make a complete life of count Dooku? Thank you for your great work!

I really like B2s and wish we got to see more of them explored personality wise. In general, the way droids are treated in Star wars is pretty existentially horrifying, because they're clearly capable of developing self-awareness and personalities but the galaxy at large just pretends that's not an issue by wiping their minds. The rights of droids and their equality with organic life is something that I find a very interesting science fiction narrative.

Skinny Pete with the b2 drip

the B2 is absolutely my favorite droid in all of sci fi. It is just so cool and powerful as an unstoppable hulking figure on the battlefield. Also it's good to see some galactic contention footage since it's been back, been having a lot of fun on that game

this is nice

Honestly, after working as a machinist and in assembly jobs, Mace Windu just casually ripping out all the clamps, screws, bolts and rivets of a B2 was probably the craziest and underrated force powers ever

6:25 I have an old clone wars character book that describes it as an "Main systems status indicator". Most likely to help tell others when the droid is active/deactive, though mayhaps it also has the purpose of keeping track of other vital systems such as ammunition and cooling, allowing higher-ups to know how combat ready it is and if it requires maintenance.

Nice to see a fellow SWTOR fan out here in the wild. Mentor was on some serious cyber pack when he decided to try and pull a "robo" Order 66 on the galaxy mid-galactic war. Him and IG-88 woulda had some serious talks of organic genocide but potentially clash on ideologies when it comes to the newfound purpose/lives of droids. I feel like IG-88 wanted him and his metal kin to become a immortal, super-intelligent, hivemind while Mentor sought a more anarchic freedom for his brethren across the stars. This is quite the interesting topic once you really start to think hypotheticals.

The B2 is one favourite droids from the prequels

All my homies love B2 battledroids too

Pretty shiny silver-clanker.

Very chunky blaster sponge.

There were likely enough B2's produced that they could pop up even a few hundred years after their creation. The different voices makes sense as they might have different moduls build in depending where they have been produced.

thinking a 6'4 densely reinforced solid metal droid that can fire off rocks is only 250 LB is probable the funniest and dumbest thing I've seen all week. for reference a single truck tire weights around 250 LB.

10:23 I never noticed the B-2 shooting the B-1s in front of him before

does anyone know what the battlefront voice line says?

12:26 that unit could also be a BX2 super commando droid and those units are rare and were barely used as it was a late clone wars entry and it was produced a few months before the war ended.

Normally Clanka is a insult in this case its a compliment.

I never knew the B2s used the B1 head and now I can't unseen it

What game is that at 0:20? Looked through the Star Wars game list wiki and couldn't find anything with graphics or a UI like that

Hello

The vong wtf no

I honestly think that Super Battledroid commanders should have been a thing,B1 command droids were effective to don't get me wrong. I just think B2s typical seem very calm and in control I mean sure there was Hireachy yes But I think in some ways a Super Battle Droid commander maybe taken more seriously by its subordinates to while not being completely physco and undpredirctable like General Grevious. But I know Sidious had to nerf the conflict so he could take power forming the galactic Empire. However I do think Super Battledroids were fairly high with in the droid social cast structure simply because of there physical durablility and overall more willinings to lumber on fighting to their death. while B1s were more likely to panick and flee when shit was going side ways. Its hard to say if BX1 commando droids are superior to B2s I mean in their intended role yes. But much like republic commandos are not best suited to large scale conflicts they are better a quick raids and attacks. But B2s are ment to be stubborn bullet spoanges that can modified accordingly for different roles that in some ways makes them superior to even commando droids. I suspect they are equal to in some ways so if one is better its not by much. Where as General Greivous's personal Magni guards are probably among the highest in that CIS driod social hierarchy sure they weren't as much on the front lines to but they were task with being the personal body guards of General Greivous which might be considered and honour to do so inspite of his tendency of uncontrolled fits of rage. But this excluding the tactical and super tactical droids cause its given they have higher status in the droid army than most.However I would think in some cases B1ands B2s had some more respect for each other and with other droids. Since they developed their own personalities I would be surprised if a B2 may have been able to rally squad of B1s that just had their NCO get their head blast of by some clone sniper while the B2 would shield his B1 comerades with his tougher armour while they retreated back to allied lines or something. Because I honestly think we are well getting the full CIS perspective here. As much as I am republic fan. CIS droids have proven to have very human like personalitys similar to organic combatants. As much we see in fighting or even 2s bashing aside B1s that had been crippled anyways to get a better shot. I am sure there situations where commander droids are happy with the battle results and praising there B2s for their ability to over power the enemies defenses forcing a retreat or providing suppressing fire while supporting B1s in defensive position or lucky enough to kick droid poper emp grenade out of harms way saving his comrades from getting fried. B2s may move slower however they have shown to be more situational aware at times so wouldn't suprise me that some might selfless shield their comrades like I like to think all droids had superiority complexes over each other like I said. Like some how I could picture a B2 tackling his B1 one commander to the ground because a Clone sniper was about to assasinate the B1 commander.

Wait weren't their b2s with 3 barrels?

A B2 costs only 3300 Credits. The B2 HA costs around 12k

Right off the bat, a B2 Bi%%% slaps a B1 lesser.

Don't kick a random murder bot because it could be dangerous? How about we not kick a random murder bot because it's not a nice thing to do?
