installing his droid with the software posts aired in horror as his n1 said
extroid came to life in song and dance
we would be honored
manufactured as the replacements of the um series by bactoid combat automata
and bactoid armor workshop the fourth class standard b1 battle droids or
clankers as the clones in the grand army of the
republic like to refer to them as were the most
extensively deployed battle droids in the separate destroyed army during the
clone wars they served as scouts gunners pilots and soldiers but perhaps
because of their wide usage they cheaply produced the b1 battle
droids to an extent they were also very feebly
constructed and easy to destroy however they made up for these weaknesses with
their sheer number and their with very few exceptions unquestioning
obedience as the trade federation wanted to avoid
unnecessary expenditures and retrofitting they arranged for the
b-ones to be given a humanoid physique designed to resemble their
genosian creators and to come in at a height of 1.93 meters tall
to avoid the costs of building all new vessels and equipment for their droids
the trade federation needed the battle droids to be able to easily operate
already existing machinery weapons and vehicles originally made for
organic soldiers and pilots to operate whenever a b1 unit was
low on power it was designed to fold into a compact
configuration where it could shut down and recharge
this stow method also functioned as a quick and efficient method of storage
for transportation this technique allowed separatists multi-troop
transports to carry up to 112 of the b1s at a time
when they were reactivated it was first the b1's limbs that unfolded with their
long necks unfolding last the battle droids were a favorite of the
trade federation's army during their invasion of naboo but due to budgetary
considerations the earlier models utilized to capture
the planet's capital city of feed required the use of a central control
computer to operate this cost-effective measure eventually
proved to be a major vulnerability that became
evident when the battle droids were dispatched to naboo's great grass plains
against the gungans the b-1s mowed down many of the gungan forces and were sure
to be victorious if it was not for a young
force-sensitive boy named of course anakin skywalker
who piloted a ship during a portion of the battle that took place in space
where he destroyed the trade federation's droid control ship and with
it their control computer shutting down the
entire droid army and ending the trade federation's occupation
all by spinning constructed in inexpensive though durable metal that
protected the b1 signal receiver assembly
the droids did not fare well against blaster fire and lightsabers the main
weapons of their enemies if they were hit by electromagnetic
pulse grenades or their capacitors were damaged the b1s were instantly
neutralized however if they were decapitated by a
jedi in battle the droids could still report
back intel without being attached to their bodies
aside from the issued e5 blaster rifles electro binoculars and thermal
detonators the b1s came equipped with
photoreceptors this allowed them to see in infrared
and their comlinks were located right below their elonged heads
they could pick up electromagnetic fields like those of a holo projector
and the majority of the units came with these high pitched
vocabulators for their voices this made them capable of expressing
fear confusion and even excitement now a few of the b1s were given lower
more monotone voices as well during the period of political
turmoil known as the secessionist movement
or separatist crisis that saw the succession of thousands of star systems
from the galactic republic the trade federation joined its droid
army which included their b1s with other powerful commerce guilds
their leadership met on the planet genosis and added to their forces of the
cis the confederacy of independent systems
they learned from their failure at naboo the newer b1 models were not reliant on
a control signal from a certain command computer to function
instead they had been given a limited degree very limited in fact
of independent thinking and became the main battle droids of the separatist
droid army utilized for better or worse throughout
the clone wars though the republic's clone soldiers
eclipsed the half-witted b-1s in skill and ability
the separatists instead relied on the droid's massive numbers
to overwhelm the republic forces and their jedi leaders
this is kind of like how when palpatine took over he changed the clones into
just enlistees due to sheer size due to their
flawed design however the b1s programming had several
glitches that gave manifestation to personality quirks and panicked
reaction to traumatic events around them this is why
they're so goofy although programmed to never surrender
they were given self-preservation routines if withdrawal or escape was
possible now the droids were even given ranks
such as sergeant lieutenant the battle droids remained in service
throughout the war much to the frustration of the supreme commander of
the droid army general grievous who grew even more
furious with the b-1's constant failure and incompetence shortly after the rise
of the galactic empire and the defeat of the separatists
the b-1's battle droids along with the rest of the droids in the confederacy
droid army were deactivated by the newly christened
sith lord darth vader though the empire made the
use of battle droids illegal b1 still saw service either on worlds
that were separatist holdouts or eventually through the black market
during the reign of the empire hope you enjoyed this
video about b1 battle droids or clankers as i call them have a great
day and i'll see you in the next video until then remember the force will be
with you always in the new canon aftermath novel there
was an old battle droid from the clone wars who was reassembled and programmed
by a boy named temen he was constructed and built from
components boy scavenge from tombs below myra bones was more than
just a battle droid he was the boy's bodyguard
but above all they were best friends mr bones continued serving the boy a year
after the battle of endor joining the mission that princess leia
formed with demon's mother and her team to find han solo after his
disappearance bones was a very different droid he had
literally human bones put onto his droid body wearing it like pieces of armor he
was one of the most sadistic star wars characters we've seen
and one of the most funny as he found joy and happiness in brutally murdering
anyone who threatened his master and when he would murder often he would
break out into song and violently stab his enemies with his long butcher knife
of an arm reporting back to his master repeatedly
saying i performed violence roger roger bones
fought for the rebellion after endor leading into the era of the first order
and the events of jakku where tenman and his crew witnessed the massive superstar
destroyer crashing into jakku's surface the ravager ship had been controlled by
gallius rax who was palpatine's confidant since a little boy
as tamman was about to be killed by desert stormtroopers and an atst
walker bones leapt between them and killed the two stormtroopers with his
blades the third trooper tried to shoot bones
but teman knocked him out with the butt of his rifle
using his augmented speed to dodge the blasts of the atsd cannons bones climbed
up the walker breaking the cockpit and began brutally killing the atsd drivers
the funny part about bones was his dark humor he popped his head out of the
walker with a new pair of black lens goggles that he swiped from the operator
he just maimed as he was about to leave the machine and
join his master he was unfortunately incinerated by two ailing fighters
flying by
as temen cried over the loss of his best friend he buried the droid's remaining
disfigured limbs in the dirt along with his late father
telling mr bones to watch over his dad in later events
near the force awakens poe dameron got in some trouble while evading the first
order being backed into a corner with only c3po and an n1zx droid
he was completely trapped asking for help from his fighter squad beyond his
location teman immediately sent him a droid
personality template to fight the order and the rank gang with him
now the ranked gang was just a legion of gangsters that originated from the
remnants of the empire's troopers installing his droid with the software
poe stared in horror as his n1 that extroyed came to life in
song and dance slashing the enemies in a slaughter
announcing himself as mr bones roger roger i wonder if
we'll see a version of mr bones in episode 8. that would be funny and
different to see from all the generic droids that we get in star wars
the fake mr bones was soon after decapitated but it's nice to know that
the template is still kicking around ready to be used thanks for watching
this episode everyone and for taking the time out of your day to learn about mr
bones i hope you're all having a great day
i'll see you all in tomorrow's episode of star wars theory until then my fellow
jedi and sith friends
remember
you
