Now a B3-C, I don't even know what you could do against that. I guess you'd have to have your squad pull suppressing fire or lead it into a det pack trap in order to send the thing down a few hundred meters and hope that does the job.
@@dannybeane2069 I prefer if they make the game harder by adding dangerous opponents, but not necessarily tanky. Super tanky enemies which just don't die and kill you back instantly is not fair nor fun. On the other hand geonosian warriors which are flimsy but deadly, thats fun to me. They die easily but they can kill you just as easily with 1-2 blows so it's more a matter of skill and being fast rather than unfair hp advantage for the droids.
When I saw the title I had hoped it would be a video on that Droid Model Gizor Delso came up with during the Battle of Mustafar, that the 501st destroyed the blueprints for back in the old OG Battlefront 2 Campaign. O well, this was still a good, fun, and very informative video, but I expect no less from the great Geetsly.
It's relevant to say I detect another Ork Player : " more dakka". Feels good, thanks for your videos you help me explore more of the star wars lore, specially on the republic. Keep up and continue the great work
That’s also because Palpatine would have problem fighting these B3s. Cortosis makes it hard for him to use either lighting or lightsabers to kill/disabled.
Simple answer, Palpy didn’t want them to kill all the Jedi, he wanted the Jedi to die at the hands of their own troops. So much more hilarious than death by walking tank. I mean sad, totally not hilarious at all.
Specifically, he needed the GAR to win against (supposedly) overwhelming odds to help manipulate the masses into accepting his Empire. He had dozens of different chances to kill the Jedi, it was a matter of getting the public support to do so which meant a longer engagement and more chances to passive aggressively attack the Jedi in public speeches and such.
Hopefully in mando season 3 or boba or even obiwan, we see some more clone wars flashbacks When we saw the b2 battle droids in flashbacks in mando it was awesome.
Let’s just imagine if they didn’t have that technical flaw when first released. That would be just another situation that The Clone Wars would have ended a lot differently. I bet you 10 Credits old palpy had something to do with it
I once came up with a b3 battle droid with no idea how the actual b3's looked like and just built one out of lego. I CALLED HOW B3 ULTRA BATTLE DROIDS LOOKED LIKE
I'd like to see a short comic of a super battle droid gaining sentience after the war and doing whatever it pleases, just like that other droid but in a less brutal way, somewhat of a gentle giant
It’s always nice to see the B3 Ultra Battle Droid and Cortosis Battle Droid get the recognition they deserve. Also, I’d love to see you do a video covering the Colicoid Scorpenek Annihilator Droid.
This video was an incredible response to droids ever successfully take down a Jedi. It got my attention the thought, but learning that there were droids designed specifically for killing Jedi is glorious. Not sure if this is a response to the video suggestion I made last week or not. Either it answers the questions. Good work mate, keep it up.
Actually, in a comic the senate of course not being truly its own had “found” plans for them and a factory about a planet. So therefore in the comic they blew up the factory and the B3 battle droids.
I don't think IRL a military would recall the B3s, just deactivate the gravity device. Soldiers do this all the time, discarding equipment that they deem problematic. The strategy droids would take this into account and order the devices deactivated. Such a powerful weapon would be a waste if it was taken from the field because of a single defective component.
The C-B3 has a canon counterpart, though it was never finished. Anakin, with help from Padme and Thrawn, was able to destroy the factory producing them. They also found clone armour made of Cortosis, which only Thrawn thought was weird.
The gravity thingies sound like the definition of a "win more" button and that's hilarious considering that the B3 Ultras were already the definition of overkill. I see the value, but considering how glitchy that component was when they were already such effective and cheaper replacements for droidekas, if they'd thought to remove the gravity thingies sooner Palps might've had to leak the location of the B3 Ultra factory too.
This is one reason why i am a bit grumpy about the republic not using some sort of droid or mech suits alongside the clone troopers. Clones came in many variations yes, but in the end they're still only human and with mechs or droids at their side, they could both have had a bigger army and more versatile military
"Well designer teams!, here is the plot twist... all are winners!, thats right, we will produce ALL TEAM'S designs >:D We only wanted all of you to compete to each other to produce superpowerful machines, at the end all of your designs are GOLD. One line of production of the antijedi B3s to fight the jedi, other line of production of the Warmachine B3s to fight entire armies of clones"
AT-TE's , LAAT gunships or heavy artillery should have done the job, IMO. You are just thinking about the regular clone infantry vs B3's matchup, which was admittedly very tough for the clones.
@@dirkauditore8413 I was in the infantry, a paratrooper to be precise so I think of not having the luxury of artillery and what light infantry is able to carry
Cortosis is resistant to lightsabers due to being very resistant to heat & kinetic impacts. We're talking about stuff rivaling beskar after all. An RPG round would do little more than just dent their armor somewhat. If hi-ex of any kind could be effective enough to take them down, they would've just lobbed a bunch of charges of whatever kind at that thing & called it a day.
@@nickvinsable3798 No. Just because the letter sounds cool. OK in all seriousness its probably because the Commando is like a mix of the B1 and B2 models, X meaning cross
I'd say that it's highly improbable, as doing so required a level of precision too great, & would yield results too unpredictable, for Palpatine to be personally involved all the time. It's worth noting that our evil mastermind here is playing both sides & would easily have over 100 things to be concerned of all the time. Being stretched so thin as he already was, i couldn't imagine him being so invested in such a small detail in the grand scheme of things.
Yes I would like to see more videos about lesser known droid variants, mainly that goddamn b1 variant from Republic Commando that has dumbfounded me for years. I need answers damn it!
What media did the B3 Ultra appear in? I became aware of it only from its inclusion in the blind purchase Star Wars Miniatures game that Wizards of the Coast (under Hasbro) put out in the 2000s.
Without an anti-grav installation (or mass concentration in the legs like the tech mentioned) these things were absolutely top heavy and would fall over if taking hits, they needed a better base
Lol we were all deceived, it is not super battle droids that we face in Star Wars Repubic Commando but B3 because if you didn't have 3 chargers of anti-armor and sniper ammunition you are doomed.
I can’t even count the number of them that I took down with nothing but my pistol. It wasn’t quick, it wasn’t clean, and it killed me as often as I won, but there’s no way a sidearm would be able to kill a B3. Not in a mere few minutes anyways. Man I love cover
These droids sound epic. Though, not good enough to avoid being crushed by the remains of a Hailfire droids. XD Also, I honestly wonder: Given their description, design, and appearance, could Gizor Delso's blueprints for a unnamed droid model actually have been a B3, possibly with weapons/armor upgrades?
I feel like another reason why B3s just aren’t prevalent in Star Wars is because Magna guards and commando droids already fulfill the “B3” rank pretty well.
Wasn’t the b3 in the clone commando game or was that b2 cuz they just referred to them as supers if I’m correct not specifically acknowledging what model it was
Palpatine delayed the deployment of the HMP Droid gunship, he ruined the plans for the B3, he worked to make sure the EMP bomb on Malestare was a success. I don't think fans truly understand how threatening the droid army actually was, and how easily they could have won the Clone Wars had it not been for Palpatines master puppeteering.
@@dirkauditore8413 Except that you CAN'T bring those things in like all the time. The fact that B3s are still designated as battle droids instead of vehicles is because they're ultimately NOT meant for fighting out in vast open spaces, which is a requirement for bringing in artillery, tanks or air support. Furthermore, they're still small & mobile enough that calling in the big guns would only end up getting friendlies in the crossfire.
@@FalconWindblader Yes they're designed as some sort of infantry however they were expensive and were not mass produced like say the B1's. So they couldn't be deployed everywhere, just like tanks or artillery couldn't be deployed everywhere. This is why I tend to not like Legends stuff because it usually ends up in overpowered shit just for the sake of it. They really go out of their way to make some stuff god like. Also by the same logic the jedi in legends would be much more powerful than what you see in the movies so what stops them from unleashing their force powers to their fullest potential.
Not sure of Canon, but CIS was funded by Darth Plagueis via numerous shell companies. The CIS army would have NOT been that powerful to begin with. Not be nerfed by Intel manipulations. But war was inevitable.
If only the Jedi had learned Master Arca’s droid disruption ability. A simple tug in the force is all that’s needed to short-circuit any droid, no matter the armor

but out of galaxy metal is immune to the force is it not like yuzhan vong? so could they not just start getting outside galaxy metals
@@archferrier4482 they could but imagine how rare such metal would be. I doubt there's enough extra-galactic metal for even one droid

I don't remember the name of the game that has Skywalker going to Metalorn but I own the game for my Gameboy and it's a fun game to play
I never knew you were a 40k fan. Do you also play the table top game?
"If gun doesn't work use more gun" the b3 ultra battle droid
Actually, I’d like to know the designation of those commando droids…
They're known as BX-series Droid Commandos
Which means “Be Ten” because of the Roman numeral “X”, @@jamiewalsh3349?
@@nickvinsable3798 No. Just because the letter sounds cool. OK in all seriousness its probably because the Commando is like a mix of the B1 and B2 models, X meaning cross
So the commando droids are likely B1.5 or something, @@jamiewalsh3349?
Palpatine probably realised that they would have caused the Seperatists to win so he sabotaged the designs
Is it possible Palpatine tampered with the design and paid a top engineer off to keep the flaw long enough to not change the course of the war?
I'd say that it's highly improbable, as doing so required a level of precision too great, & would yield results too unpredictable, for Palpatine to be personally involved all the time. It's worth noting that our evil mastermind here is playing both sides & would easily have over 100 things to be concerned of all the time. Being stretched so thin as he already was, i couldn't imagine him being so invested in such a small detail in the grand scheme of things.
A played the Gameboy game wherein Anakin had to save the galaxy from the CB3s. "The New Droid Army", it was called.
Yes I would like to see more videos about lesser known droid variants, mainly that goddamn b1 variant from Republic Commando that has dumbfounded me for years. I need answers damn it!
What media did the B3 Ultra appear in? I became aware of it only from its inclusion in the blind purchase Star Wars Miniatures game that Wizards of the Coast (under Hasbro) put out in the 2000s.
Interesting.
I thought these big bois were only in Legends but Wookiepedia says they appeared in canon too.
Looks like a war droid
Okay they could handle a seasoned Jedi but I prefer mine with only salt and pepper (medium rare.)
The B3 Ultra looks like it came from anime🙂.
The confederacy could have replaced all tanks with b3 models, with the density projectors removed
Without an anti-grav installation (or mass concentration in the legs like the tech mentioned) these things were absolutely top heavy and would fall over if taking hits, they needed a better base
Knowing Palpatine, I’m pretty sure those density projectors were intentionally sabotaged
2:29 i havent seen that clip before where is it from
Lol we were all deceived, it is not super battle droids that we face in Star Wars Repubic Commando but B3 because if you didn't have 3 chargers of anti-armor and sniper ammunition you are doomed.
I can’t even count the number of them that I took down with nothing but my pistol. It wasn’t quick, it wasn’t clean, and it killed me as often as I won, but there’s no way a sidearm would be able to kill a B3. Not in a mere few minutes anyways. Man I love cover
After all this time, only now am I realizing the warhammer reference
These droids sound epic. Though, not good enough to avoid being crushed by the remains of a Hailfire droids. XD
Also, I honestly wonder:
Given their description, design, and appearance, could Gizor Delso's blueprints for a unnamed droid model actually have been a B3, possibly with weapons/armor upgrades?
@@yeetyeetyyeeet2109 Yee.
Idk about b3s but r2 took out two b2s and it's my favorite moment in star wars
Beskar got nothing on Cortosis 😎
Fireworm scales: Amatures
I feel like another reason why B3s just aren’t prevalent in Star Wars is because Magna guards and commando droids already fulfill the “B3” rank pretty well.
More importantly, most people do not know about the Super Droideka.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Sith Holocron?
Oh so that’s what you fight in republic commando
I have to assume the main reason is that it must have been UNGODLY expensive. Cortosis isn't cheap.
This is Canon for me!
Imagine what a B4 battle droid would be like
Do one on the B2 Grapple Droid (feature in the revenge of the sith video game)
If EA makes another starwars game they should add the b3 as a one of the most difficult boss in the game
“Watch those wrist rockets!”
Did I hear “more dakka?”
*DAT’Z WOT I LOIK TO ‘EAR!!! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!*
Wasn’t the b3 in the clone commando game or was that b2 cuz they just referred to them as supers if I’m correct not specifically acknowledging what model it was
Hopefully the B3 battle droids become Canon.
Imagine if the b3 was a boss in something akin to republic commando
keep up the good work man
The B3 Ultra Battle Droid: Because there's no kill like overkill
Ok... so what the crap is a "density projector". This guy brings it up as if we should already know.
In love Star Wars, here's my one of many reasons: I get about a month's worth of people saying Roger Roger, and Roger is my name
Overpowered would be an understatement.
Palpatine delayed the deployment of the HMP Droid gunship, he ruined the plans for the B3, he worked to make sure the EMP bomb on Malestare was a success. I don't think fans truly understand how threatening the droid army actually was, and how easily they could have won the Clone Wars had it not been for Palpatines master puppeteering.
We understand, however referring specifically to B3's, it's not like the republic didn't have tanks or heavy artillery to deal with the B3's.
@@dirkauditore8413 Except that you CAN'T bring those things in like all the time. The fact that B3s are still designated as battle droids instead of vehicles is because they're ultimately NOT meant for fighting out in vast open spaces, which is a requirement for bringing in artillery, tanks or air support. Furthermore, they're still small & mobile enough that calling in the big guns would only end up getting friendlies in the crossfire.
@@FalconWindblader Yes they're designed as some sort of infantry however they were expensive and were not mass produced like say the B1's. So they couldn't be deployed everywhere, just like tanks or artillery couldn't be deployed everywhere. This is why I tend to not like Legends stuff because it usually ends up in overpowered shit just for the sake of it. They really go out of their way to make some stuff god like. Also by the same logic the jedi in legends would be much more powerful than what you see in the movies so what stops them from unleashing their force powers to their fullest potential.
We needed this droid in Battlefront 2
MORE DAKKA!!!!!!
WAAAAAUUUUGGH!!!!!!!
This is from Star Wars: New Droid Army isn't it? The old GBA game.
The CIS would have won if the game wasn't rigged
Not sure of Canon, but CIS was funded by Darth Plagueis via numerous shell companies. The CIS army would have NOT been that powerful to begin with. Not be nerfed by Intel manipulations. But war was inevitable.
Coulda sworn it was the OTHER competitor for the B3, the Cortosis Battle Droid was the one palpatine cancelled for being too OP.
imagine confronting this in republic commandos
Fix the B3 Ultra issues then add cortosis of the other B3 Droid. Making the most op Droid ever. A fitting name would be the B4.
Ayo, Where was this B3 Battle Droid in Battlefront? 🤔
It wasn’t
