The Separatist Alliance was one of the largest and fiercest threats to ever emerge within
the Star Wars galaxy - with their droids being cheap to create and deadly to even Jedi Knights
under the right conditions.
Due to the many planets that the Clone Wars spanned and the various environments through
which the Separatists needed to battle, dozens of droids were created for these different
circumstances.
In this video, I’ll go through every single type of Separatist droid ever made, so smash
the like and subscribe buttons, and let’s get into it.
(Discord plug)
So first off we have the:
1.
B1 Battle Droid These are the standard battle droids we’re
all familiar with, used throughout the Clone Wars.
They were deadly in large numbers but individually lacking, which is part of why they were so
cheap and easy to mass-produce.
2.
B2 Super Battle Droid Although far more expensive than the standard
b1 units, the b2s were far more capable both in terms of firepower and processor power,
making them smarter than their budget counterparts.
3.
E522 assassin droid Although these droids were scrapped in favour
of the B2 super battle droids, they had 360-degree vision, powerful weaponry and incredibly thick
armour, making them a terrifying opponent to face on the battlefield.
4.
Scutiger-100 stealth droid Also known as the millicreep, this freaky
droid resembled an insect and used its electrified tails to attack clone troopers in the battle
of Umbara.
5.
Pistoeka sabotage droid More commonly called buzz droids, these were
used to disable an opponent’s craft as was seen when they targeted Obi-Wan and damaged
his starfighter.
6.
Megadroid This was a unique superweapon in the form
of a giant droid plated with lightsaber-resistant armour and the ability to fly at incredible
speeds.
It was destroyed after an intense battle with Grandmaster Yoda and Anakin Skywalker.
7.
B3 battle droid These were rare improved versions of the regular
B2 super battle droids.
They were over double the height at 4 meters tall and upgraded rapid-fire blaster canons.
8.
C-8 saboteur droid A sophisticated spy droid, these were used
to perform surprise attacks and sabotage opponent stations.
9.
AQ-series battle droid Also known as the aqua droids, these were
units capable of swimming which possessed retractable laser canons.
They were notably used in the separatist attack on Kamino.
10.
Droid tri-fighter Engineered to dominate in dogfights, these
possessed advanced processors which allowed them to keep up with or even beat Clones with
years of training.
11.
Spelunker probe droid Used for mining precious minerals on planets
on which it would be difficult to work in for other droids, these were primarily used
towards the end of the clone wars when certain resources were becoming hard to come by.
12.
Chameleon droid These were an advanced and upgraded version
of the Spelunker probe droids which possessed laser canons and powerful mines to deploy
on the battlefield.
They could also camouflage themselves by scanning their surroundings, which is how they got
their name.
13.
NR-N99 Persuader-class droid enforcer Moving via treads, these tank droids weren’t
as maneuverable as those with legs, but were able to travel at high speeds and possessed
great firepower and was well-armored, especially from its sides.
14.
D1-series aerial battle droid Created as experimental security units, these
were equipped with blasters and retractable wings which gave them the ability to fly.
15.
B1 grapple droid In place of the blaster wielded by regular
B1 units, these specialist droids had grapple claws, allowing them to excel at hand-to-hand
combat.
16.
Heavy Battle Droid Specialised versions of the B1 units, they
were designed to laser down defensive lines of clones by using their built-in disc shields
to protect themselves while targeting their opponents.
17.
Cortosis B2 super battle droid These were a rare upgraded edition of the
B2 droids whose armour was laced with cortosis, making them impossible to defeat through the
use of lightsabers and blasters.
18.
IG lancer droid Variants of the regular IG-series droids,
these were employed as scouts or mounted cavalry.
19.
Infiltrator demolition droid Able to transform from a regular-looking worker
droid into their natural state resembling the traditional B1 units, they would either
eliminate their targets with blasters or self-destruct in order to destroy a facility.
20.
LR-57 combat droid These were slow units which weren’t very
versatile, however they had blasters for arms which they could also use as blunt melee weapons.
21.
B1 repeater blaster droid Equipped with rapid-fire repeating blasters,
these were regular b1s capable of dealing greater firepower than the units with standard
blasters.
22.
B2-RP super battle droid Similar to the regular B2 units but utilising
compact repulsorlift technology, these used built-in jetpacks in short bursts to surprise
their enemies from above.
23.
IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank Traversing through large treaded wheels, these
tank droids carried two tracks of powerful hailfire missiles which dealt devestating
damage to their targets, and it also had an auto-blaster when the missiles ran out.
24.
Recusant-class light destroyer These warships were one of the most depended
on for space combat, with them being capable of hyperspace travel and housing powerful
laser canons.
In groups, these ships greatly outgunned their republic counterparts, hance their consistent
usage.
25.
B2 super rocket trooper Upgraded versions of the B2-RP super battle
droids, these wielded quad-bareled laser canons and used better jetpacks to fly around.
26.
P-series droideka This was the first series of droideka produced,
and it was used in the invasion of Naboo, but due to the price it was scrapped in favour
of later models.
27.
OG-9 homing spider droid Given the name thanks to their spider-like
stature, these droids were tank-like walkers carrying rotating laser turrets for encounters
against clone troops and a long-range laser canon for deflector shields.
28.
J-1 proton cannon An anti-aircraft canon which fired proton
bombs at their targets, these were developed during the war and were notably used in the
second battle of geonosis.
29.
B1-series rocket battle droid Equipped with typical E-5 blasters, standard
issue rocket packs and fusion cutters.
Their most recognised use was in the fallout of the Malevolence’s testing wherein they
attempted to kill Jedi Master Plo Koon and his troops.
30.
B2 grapple droid This was a variant of the B2 super battle
droid engineered towards close-range combat.
31.
T-series tactical droid These droids designed for strategic calculations,
preferred staying away from the front lines to ensure their safety and plot from afar.
Despite believing in their superiority and relying on precise calculations, their lack
of imagination in unexpected situations made them vulnerable, exploited by the Galactic
Republic in the Clone Wars.
32.
Unidentified droid model Although we don’t know much at all about
these droids, they were encountered by Mace Windu on a mission and may have been some
form of scout droid.
33.
Vulture-class droid starfighter Although a relatively simple class of droid
starfighter, the culture droids were capable of excellent maneuvrabiltiy, and thanks to
their low price it was easy to outnumber and swarm opponents, leading to swift victory.
34.
Octuptarra tri-droid The tri-droids were giant three-legged walkers
which had laser canons, launch missiles, and, in some variants, biological plagues carried
in their headpieces which would devestate the bodies of enemies even after their deaths.
35.
W-series droideka An updated model from the original P-series,
these droidekas were the most common at the beginning of the clone wars, with more powerful
blasters which consomed more energy, meaning they were restricted in using their shield,
but were powerful enough that this wasn’t too severely limiting.
36.
BX-series droid commando A deeply sophisticated droid, many steps up
from the standard units, the commando droids were capable of forming complex plans to deceive
enemies, could keep fighting even after taking great damage, were excellent shots with their
blasters, and could even put a Jedi Knight on the defensive with their vibroswords, as
they were very competent in melee combat.
37.
DSD1 dwarf spider droid These droids were equipped with powerful front-facing
laser canons which were able to not only pelt enemies from range but also rapid fire any
nearby targets.
The design of their legs allow them to position themselves on any terrain, even purely vertical
surfaces, allowing them to defend or attack in any direction.
38.
Grenadier Droid Not much is known about these droids, but
they were effective close-range units deployed by the separatists.
39.
Harvester This was a rare but vital walker employed
to harvest valuable resources for immense energy which they were planning on using on
some kind of devastating weapon.
These were all defeated by Mace Windu and his team of Jedi during a mission, however.
40.
B2-HA super battle droid Fitted with much more powerful weaponry like
an arm-mounted rocket launcher capable of firing homing missiles, these were often leading
groups of B1 droids to make up for the lack of power and competence the droids possessed.
41.
Firefighter battle droid Specifically programmed to fight fires, and
with heat shielding to keep them safe doing so, these droids were ussed to manage and
damage and fallout from battles taking place in facilities, ships or bases.
42.
Commando droid captain These were just like the regular commando
droids, but had specialist programming to manage squads of commando droids which was
absent from the traditional models.
43.
Droideka Sharpshooter Also known as the sniper droid, this unit
was a variant of the droideka specially designed and programmed to excel at long-range combat
and sniping.
Instead of using deflector shields for protection they relied on their armored shell to keep
blaster fire at bay.
44.
Unidentified vulture droid variant This unnamed type of vulture droid was used
to spy on and attempt to assassinate Padme Amidala during her flight training with Ahsoka
Tano, but was quickly destroyed by the very woman it sought to eliminate.
45.
Serenno Flying Droid (appears in clone wars s4:e17, 6:15)
These were a type of droid stored in Count Dooku’s castle on serenno and were used
by Moralo Eval in his fight against the undercover Obi-Wan Kenobi.
46.
ST-series super tactical droid These were an upgraded model of tactical droid
designed to make up for the lack of flexibility in the strategies of the traditional model.
Due to their greater processing power and unique programming, they were able to accurately
predict responses taken to their actions by ordinary lifeforms.
47.
631 model B1 battle droid Cheaper to produce and far inferior to the
standard B1 models, these droids were extremely clumsy and intellectually limited.
48.
HMP droid gunship Heavily armed with missile pods, laser canons
and used to transport droids of various types, these gunships were hard to take down due
to their strong ray-shields.
49.
B1 rocket launcher droid These were a form of B1 droids which carried
rocket launchers, anti-personnel mines and thermal detonators, often used to target enemy
vehicles on the battlefield.
50.
Hyena-class Droid Bombers A variant of the vulture droid, the hyena
bombers were engineered to focus on performing powerful bombing runs, often targeing enemy
vehicles or command stations.
51.
B2-ACM Trooper These units were almost identical to the regular
B2 super battle droids, but their wrist blasters boasted more powerful blasts.
These were used sparingly when the firepower of traditional models weren’t enough.
52.
B1 recon droid This was a largely mysterious unit used to
recon ahead of held positions and relay information back to commanders,
53.
Q-series droideka These were the most effective and powerful
model of droideka, making earlier versions entirely obsolete.
The shield generator they were fitted with enabled them to activate their shields and
blasters simultaneously any time.
54.
Scarab-class starfighter These were the predecessor to the vulture
droids, less flexible and maneuverable, but making up for it in the powerful weapons and
shields they posessed.
As the battles around the galaxy called for more sophisticated flight with nimble fighters,
these were rendered outdated and too slow.
55.
B1 supervisor droid These were interesting units, designed to
watch over regular B1 droids and ensure they didn’t fall apart from their lack of intellect.
Despite this clear goal, it actually ended up confusing them more than helping, leading
to it being quickly phased out in favour of the tactical droid series.
56.
IG-86 sentinel droid A model of assassin droid designed to act
as security detail, they were also used by gangsters for automated and cheap protection.
57.
OOM pilot battle droid These were multi-use droids whose main purpose
was piloting various craft, but wre also programmed to serve as gunners or regular soldiers if
armed with the needed weaponry.
58.
IG-100 MagnaGuard Specifically programmed to perform bodyguard-like
duties, these were incredibly strong and intelling droids who wielded electrostaffs, their skill
at which made them difficult for even some Jedi Masters to defeat.
They were often used by Count Dooku and his apprentice General Grievous at various poinst
during the clone wars.
59.
OOM-series security droid These were B1 droids designed to patrol and
protect specific routes and stations.
They were notably used in an attempt to assassinate Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan Obi-Wan
Kenobi during their mission to negotiate with the during the invasion of Naboo.
60.
Ringneck recon droid This was a spy droid used to attain and relay
information, but was also capable of opening fire on targets with a basic blaster housed
within its head.
61.
OOM command battle droid These were units in charge of squads of regular
B1 droids thanks to their upgraded cognitive modules and tactical programming, but didn’t
possess any advanced processors, meaning they were just as likely to be tricked and thus
were under the command of superior models like the tactical droids.
62.
LM-432 crab droid This was an advanced model of walker with
strong armour and laser canons, able to come to a rest at just about any angle thanks to
their mechanical legs.
Although they were formidable opponents, they were susceptible to attack at their blind
spots and were able to be overcome with coordination.
63.
SD-K4 assassin droid A form of assassin droid, these moved almost
entirely silently and were designed to assassinate political targets.
When put into a place of distress, they would release thirty mini variants of themselves
to finish the job.
63.
SD-K4a mini-assassin droid These tiny droids released by their larger
counterpart, coming in at only 14 centimeters wide, were incredibyl fast and nimble, allowing
them to avoid blaster fire.
If they were able to climb onto their target or find their way within a troopers armor,
they were able to deal precise, killing blows with their sharp legs.
64.
AAT Driver Battle Droid These were variants of B1 battle droids with
tactical camoflague which gave them a way to blend into jungle environments, and they
were given specialist programming in driving AAT tanks
65.
Manta droid submarine This was a very rare type of droid used exclusively
for underwater assault missions, capable of dishing out powerful shots from their laser
canons as well as launching torpedo missiles.
So that was every type of canon droid used by the separatist army throughout their time
in the star wars galaxy.
