A useful droid but at the same time rather impractical as it’s only real use would be in dire environments that would better protect it from stronger weapons where the enemy is limited on their ability to fight back
The magna tri-droids only appeared so easy to destroy because literally every appearance of them showed them being taken out by the literal chosen one.
I like the tri droid cause it's more of an automated vehicle like the Snail droid. A much better armored unit than the AAT which had a big weakness, the crew.
Definitely one of my all time favorite droid designs, but I think the main appeal to me is how they constantly rotate their weapons after firing; just gives them a very dynamic effect that just looks cool to me As for their rarity I’m guessing it’s because they were very expensive. Their size alone would’ve made them very costly to build! Criminally underrated and definitely a crime we didn’t get to see more of them. An episode featuring their virus abilities would’ve been very interesting to see too!
Their price is always a good assumption on why certain CIS droids aren't used much, I mean, especially with the price for the viruses, and transportation. But also, I can see them being hard to just randomly deploy on the batlefield without preparations.
Impressive equipment . However, I ask future generations, do you exist to serve machines of A.I. or are they to serve you a utopia . The power is in your choices today . Edited bit: Now I'll go to my microwave and wish it could do what star trek machines could . Monsanto you suck .
So, basically this is a Skakoan Robot Dog - with fricking laser beams? But I guess "War Crime Walkers" also has a ring to it. Not a nice one, but certainly one.
Tri-droids being based on civilian models and having mini-warcrimes does have a bit of sense to it. They probably removed something and replaced it with a gas dispersal system that had some extra omph. Similar to the false surrender of the other side. Great video 👏🏻
First of all this is fiction, so it didn't happen. Secundo, heavier weapons tend to be more expensive and even fictional armies must comply to this universal law.
I wish we got lego trideoids. Wouldn’t be too hard to design them…Then again the greedy bastards at lego would over price it…So maybe we’re better off with out it.
No, I feel like rhe Octupara droid should replace the Homing Spider Droid as a whole. Homing Spider Droids are impractical as hell. The slightest breach in its armor will cause it to explode violently.
after I saw the rocket truthers variants it felt like they should have been the standard. it almost feels like these Droids are meant to be a paratrooper something the CIS seemed to lack.
With their all terrain capabilities and a variety of load-outs, and the smaller versions, I could see these being used by clever commanders in rough terrain warfare against republic defence and clone forces. Or early imperial troops in the post-war conflicts. I wouldn't rate them on open terrain very well being so tall, probably makes them easy to pick off with AT-TE mass drivers. So perhaps a more niche tool for most battles over more standard walkers and hover tanks the setting tends to stick too.
Octuptarra tri droid, for all their manoeuvrability, massed deadly powerful weaponry and varied types they were able to deploy on the battlefield and able to react quickly to any threats. They are glaringly vulnerable to long ranged artillery, due to their massive size making them a prime target and to rocket propelled rockets or lightsabers when it came to taking out a leg and crippling it in one stroke.
This would have been really good at picking out ranks. Though the plagued feature is usefull for taking out clones that kill it from its blind spot, combining it with what is essentially a sniper vehicle makes for a miserable application. Also the fact that it's so tall makes it an even bigger target.

It's also a CRIME that they weren't a Vehicle you could get into in Star Wars Battlefront 2 plus the Spider Walker

I've always loved these droids and didn't like how they weren't used often and I'm glad they're finally being talked about
There scarcity is likely due to their high price tag. The CIS like to use swarm tactics and these droids cost twice as much as an AAT.
That’s what my thoughts were

I can assume that the Magna Tri-Droids’ large size made them easy to take down with artillery. Especially the ordnance launcher variants.
Artillery?! We don't use this words in Star Wars!

Same. They’re so cool!
When the Separatist Council, of all people, is hesitant to field your weapons on moral grounds... yikes.

Can we get a video on the Collicoid Protodeka?

Literally walking war crimes. What more could a fan ask for?
Usually its either too expensive to make or sidious straight up ban them
4:53 which mod is this, is the octuptarra, and is it playable?
I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't see much of the chemical weapons of the CIS like Dioxin grenades and missiles.
Of course my man would like bio warfare
I like how in the Clone Wars season 7 it shows them flying
How many had plagues in there heads
Wow “walking war” crimes 💀

i mean....just give it 4 legs, then you have to take out 2 of the legs to topple them.
