Do you guys agree with our pick here? What Tank Droid would have made you shudder if you were a clone?
Meh
What would make me shudder, is the Droidekas and the Super B2 and those flying Super B2 with heavy lasers or super tactical droid
All of them would make me scared
To be honest, I don't like the sound of a russian wwII rocket artillery truck fireing all of it's rockets, but if the hailfire droid would sound the same, it would crush all hope in the clones.
can we talk about how the clone wars had REAL LASERS??? what happened to them? where they ever mounted on ships???
Spider droids: 4 legs instead of 8
Death star: not a star
Star destroyer: doesn't destroy stars
Anakin being part of the council: not a master

Bruh you woke up and chose violence
At at: Not all terrain
Vulture droid: Isnt a vulture
Everybody gangster until the commerce guild's OG-9 homing spider droid shows up
"imma head out"
The jedi order gangster until darth maul suddenly appears out of nowhere after being cut in half.
A droid version of the "Hello there!".
The ultra terrifying, slowest vehicle in the og battlefront games (besides the AT-AT and AT-TE)
And a big target to anti-tank units lol
Yes. OG battlefronts are the best battlefront games. Not those imposters.
@@pyeitme508 lmao those are non existent
We need the graphics of the new ones with the gameplay of the old ones!
You can't even drive them in the EA game
So that’s why Jedi and Clones hate bugs and spiders
They b crawling
@@geetslys they do be crawling doe 😳
Who doesn’t
Also geonosians
“Good thing those bugs can’t aim”
it was a big missed opportunity that TCW didn't utilize droids like the hailfire or homing spider droid
Yeah where were they the whole time?
They where defending separtist worlds as defense and manufacturing was slowed on mass after power creep of the republic
Damn i wish they was a open world game where you play as a arc trooper or a just regular clone with good goos story campaign tho not focusing on bitchass jedis
It's also a shame that Dice modelled the OG-9, DSD-1 and Hailfire Droids but not make them playable units.
@@crimsoncarnotaurus I cant really blame them with the time constrains they scrapped a good deal of content that would of been great
Clone: Sees a spider
*Geonosis flashback intensifies
Calls in artillery while Wilhelm screaming
Clone: Spider droid Tank incoming!
Clone 2: Yeah lets light them up!
Clone 3 with Arachnophobia: *Sweats*
Clone 4 “good thing those bugs can’t aim”
@@mrlime9526 also clone 4 *dies from homing spider droid*
Clone 3. -alreadu dead cuz kaminoans
it's a shame we never see this big boi in the clone wars
Yeah, why was that?
@@_ai.dan_8271 I guess they just prioritized designing other models for the show
I think it was in the lego game though lol
That tank droid terrified the clones because it looked like a spider.
It would trigger PTSD for Mando
501st: ‘Sector’s clear’
*’NOT CLEAR NOT CLEAR’*
Just like my mom when she sees a real spider
Nah, most clones are australian.
I still have flashbacks to the first level of battlefront 2. Running and then suddenly dying from a laser beam barely touching me
These things are absolute monsters in that game. Any Sep defense on geonosis is a guaranteed win if you use this thing
*ahhhggggghhhh*
Especially on the Kashyyyk: Docks map in BF I. How am I supposed to take that down without vehicular support and being out of range for Recon Droid orbital bombardment?!
It's a shame TCW wasn't very diverse with it's armoured vehicles and battle droids. It would have been cool to see droids like the OG-9 and Hailfire droids along with more use of the Octuptarra and Persuader droids.
Watch the muunilist episode
@@gmailquinn TCW refers to the 2008 Star Wars The Clone Wars not the 2d Star Wars Clone Wars.
How sad it is that the og-9 spider droid wasn't in the clone wars either just like the hail-fire droid.
Or the AT-AP or AT-OT
Come to think of it there are a lot of things missing in the clone wars series.
Yeah why weren’t any of these things seen?
@@_ai.dan_8271 Budget. It's not like we see any models of many of the CIS tanks either- confederate armies were much more diverse than clones with their old regular at-tes.
If you see the cartoon animated clone wars, almost every droid and republic vehicle make an appearance.
@@NateSceneTV don’t forget the turbo tank although it did show up for one scene in S2 E1 or the sphat artillery(?) vehicle which is only seen in aotc or v-wing fighters
This droid’s design has gotta be one of the most iconic designs to come out of the prequels.
If only they had them snow speeders and tow cables.
TRUE XD
That simply wouldn't work on it.
I think the second most feared is the octoteradroid and the droideks
We need to see more of those creepy crawlies from ship transporting Satine in The Clone Wars. You all know what I'm talking about.
@@geetslys OOF, assassin droids.
@@geetslys Those little shits are the stuff of nightmares.
I don't know man, my lego version can't seem to stand up. Still comes with two dwarf spider droids to support it lol.
They stand up perfectly fine🙄
Fun fact: according to SW Legends. before the clone wars, the Commerce Guilt used the OG-09's to persuade some of those stubborn and powerful and debt payers to pay up, as well as enforcers.
Banking clan used their units in a similar fashion. Make sure to keep up with your mortgage payments.
They did, be but the guild created the OG-09's so that what drew my comment on.
My memory regrading that "Fun fact" was a little fuzzy on details at the time.
Isn't that too expensive to be a debt collector? I mean why not just use B1s to do the job?
Sure they are dumb, but with enough numbers and weapons, I'm pretty sure they can intimidate as well.
@@Gloria-victrix99857 Indeed which is why the OG-9's were only sent in to collect debt in the most extreme of cases.
Think, heavily armed rebels or planetary governors.
Because let's be honest, in Star Wars, you only knock if you have a lightsaber in hand or an army of deadly droid tanks to back you up.
@@darthgamer2014 Star wars vehicle design and doctrine just doesn't make sense to me... Oh sure I can enjoy the content, but really, the sheer reliance of walkers is just painful for me. Tracked vehicles can do everything that walkers can and better.
Cause with walkers, you have to compensate for weight and movement on the account that you have 2, 4, or 6 feet. Sure that will help with ground pressure, but the more you armour something, the harder it is the move thanks to weight. Not to mention all the suspension and transmission problems. Plus the more legs you have, the more parts you add, parts that could be disabled or fail due to technical issues. Walkers in my opinion have an even lower reliability rate when compared to even the most temportmental of tracked vehicles.
Plus, taking that into account, this logically also limits the ammount of armour you can actually put on it, since you can have a well protected walker, but it will be so comically slow and sluggish that it makes it an inviting targets, such as with High Explosive Anti tank. (HEAT) or ATGMs or hell even something akin to an RPG.
You could add a more powerful engine, but that thing will have to supply all 4 or 6 legs at once, thus decreasing speed.
I'm sorry... But this is just painful for me. I mean no offence
Last time I was this early the Clones were watching those wristrockets
WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS
The platforms map in the first battlefront REALLY drove that through... I killed so many a Windu on that map with nothing but the humble wrist rocket on that center bridge.
@@geetslys oow! Was it something I said?
The spider droids. Remember them from the OG battlefront 1 and 2? I sure as hell remember even though I never played the droid side. It was always empire / republic for me.
Dang I remember how tough both these Spider Droids were in that Clone Wars game from like 2003 where you play only as vehicles. The Dark Reaper conflict. The bigger one's lasers tore through your shields if you were not careful and the dwarfs would straight up self destruct if need be.
playing through the on foot level as mace on Geonosis was a nightmare as you had to stay away from the dwarf spiders or else they would oneshot you by self-destructing in your face.
Oh, definitely agree on these.
Still hoping the game gets a rerelease nowadays. It's rough, yes, but it sure is fun alongside the likes of Bounty Hunter and even the Starfighter duology.
"The giant enemy spider!"
**cue boss fight music**
Bro commandeering one of these in StarWars battlefront 2 (old school version) back in the day was legit!
zap zapin my way through peeps, *pew pew*
Renegade Squad
imagine that saying "prepare to die republic dog!"
Still not scarier than Jackal snipers.
Halo 2 Jackal Snipers
Scarabs would shred this thing anyway.
@@ic4192 and then the HailFire droids killed the Scarab with a Rain of missiles
Geetsly’s: this spider droid is the scariest droid
Me: ok, sounds reasonable
Geetsly’s: *proceeds to use meters and kilometers
Me, an American: no, that’s the scariest thing
Me as a Canadian "sounds about right"
That's not scary, that's just normal.
@@Mabra51 not really allot of people know their metric system
@@isaacfoster1377 So they don't go to school?
@@Mabra51 Easy mistake to make given how shit K12 schools are in many areas here. The metric systems isn’t standard here in the US. I learned the metric system out of curiosity and annoyance.
“SUPER BATTLE DROID, TAKE HIM DOWN!”
*WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS*
Look at the flick of his wrist... rocket
@@isaacfoster1377 no
@@QixTheDSK YeS
AHHHHH!
The way he explains it on a battlefield you’ll apparently see a group of dwarf spider droids using a leash to bring an og 9 to shoot at a cool thing they found... I love it
Imagine this thing charging you at 90km an hour.
I don’t know how he makes quality videos so often
Haha we have team members dedicated to each aspect of making the video!
@@geetslys no wonder, lol
Strange that we didn’t see them throughout the entire clone wars series. They were alway one of my favorite separatist droids.
Hail-fire droid: has ammo capacity
OG-9 Homing spider droid: I don’t have such weaknesses
_The Battlefront gameplay footage-_
_Holy hell the nostalgia-_
YES ! I would LOVE to see more on these spider droids. This was really good. Thanks !
This droid: exists
Me: laughs in lego AT-TE
I swear, those OG-9s tank so much damage
Damn look at their precision when they shot ,shooting their lasers barely passing through their driod legs wow now thats an underrated vehicle right there I wonder what is the best vehicle that the cis ever created including prototypes
Bro, these were nearly impossible to destroy on _Clone Wars Adventures,_ even with Rank 5 Power Surgers and ARC Troopers.
SW suddenly seems to have it out for arachnophobes
Do a Kashyyyk vs Trandosha video! NO HELP from the Republic or CIS!
I love me some geestlys especially when I am feeling down. Geestlys keep up the great work 👍👍
Ok, fun question: how do you think these things would do against land mines?
In my opinion, they'd be utterly trashed. If they step on the mines and blow their feet off, they won't be able to walk, sending their bodies falling down into the other mines.
What do you think?
Seeing the geonosis battle again reminds me of how unreal it was. Both parties just running at eachother instead of searching for cover. And i'm aware there was not alot of cover in the open fields but the clones could have lay down and they could have used advancing techniques. Oh well its a movie after all.
That tactic benefits the droids far better than clones. Cheap and numerous units that aren't alive.
Another victory for the Separatist Alliance. For the CIS!
My boy just said every single planet like he was fluent in every single language in every single planet given the pronunciation was on point such confidence
I love how the CIS are basically AnCaps so a lot of the war droids they made have cool backstories where they were originally used for corporate interests and to repress workers. It was just a happy coincidence that they were strong enough for a separatist military, plus I’m sure it saved money and resources but that’s fitting. I think there’s a reason so many people simp for the Seppies and it’s because the Seppies were some creative organizations.
Peak libright
Not really ANcap if they force a hierarchy based on who has the money and machines is it
@@_ai.dan_8271 well anarchism and capitalism can’t co exist. It’s a contradictory philosophy, but the idea of AnCap is embodied by the CIS imo
AnCaps don't exist only AuthCaps
@@moustachio05 philosophically and principally they don’t exist, but people identify as such.
My favorite Star Wars meme was one where the spider walker had timbs photoshopped onto its feet and it had top text like “oh shit here comes dat boy”
Bottom text: “what will he do???😳😳😳”
And it was a little bit of a deep fried meme.
Horizon Zero Dawns machines vs the Clones?🤔 I think it would be interesting, especially Thunderjaws, Deathbringers, Corruptors, Stormbirds, Rockbreakers and the acurssed Fireclaws
Clones would hace a more massive PTSD than those fights with the Confederacy ones. Yesterday I had hard time bringing done the one the breathes fire and throws fireballs. I shoot arrows, arrows, arrows, also those small bombs and. After I killed the annoying tracker ones I kept shooting it with random arrows. Until it died. I still dont have really strong weaponry. Today also had a hard time at a bandit camp. Now I have anti armor arrows and a new bow. If clones fought one of those or worse the giant ones like T Rex looking one with no tanks and few explosives, includings the bird one and a Corruptor which are a real pain in the ass some of those are gonna end up in a mental asylum ( if there're ones in Star Wars) .
How do you think they'd (the clones) fair against the terminators from the terminator series?
Also how do you think other machine armies in fiction do against the clones? If you have any knowledge on them.
Why did we never see them in The Clone Wars series.
Budgeting
Disney said no, we need these useless underground sisters
@@pucfjf9537 yeah no there were already so many missed oppertunities to implement these before Disney bought that.
@@thimovijfschaft3271 yea we literally only saw them in the battle of genosis. Wasn't even used in ROTS.
@@aidanderson53X they were in RoTS. On Felucia far in the background
Weird... You'd think an army of New Zealanders would be used to giant spiders.
Always reminded of the Skeeters from Mario 64
I would really like to see more about the CIS droid tanks!!
I remember many a time walking around geonosis when *BUUEEW* and I’m dead.
Anyone else find the dwarf spider droid rather cute?
The discord has brought me here again on time. Btw good work
Aww, thanks for being on our Discord! Just a heads up, we upload at the same time on Sundays every week!
@@geetslys no , thank you for making such amazing content
SWRC does a good job making these things as scary as they should be. In the first level in the battle of Geonosis you are just wrecking droids left and right as a commando before rendezvous with delta squad, and you turn a corner and there it is. A spider droid the size of a 4 story building just decimating clones left and right and you immediately go from kicking ass to hiding while you wait for a LAAT to save your ass. I’d love to see a tally of how many times an LAAT has been the one thing that saves an entire mission in the clone war.
"I hate spiders! Crush them like the bugs they are!" - X1 from Battlefront: Elite Squadron, which was supposed to be Free Radical's Battlefront III
Wish it was as strong in the og battlefront 2

Well, at least it was pretty strong in LEGO Star Wars III The Clone Wars
Spider Tanks gangster until an M1 Abrams roll up
This thing is like the Tiger Tank of the Confederacy. Well armored, incredibly destructive, and were feared to an extreme.
It's a shame that the homing spider droid and the hailfire weren't shown in TCW show, many possibilities could been
3:08 "heavily armored" * everyone sees one of them getting oneshotted via mistake, not even aimed *
You know what I realized that I haven't seen anyone mentioning?
They don't appear in the clone wars
Great video!
Great vid Geetsly, yes please do a vid on the Hailfire, it's my favorite Confederacy Droid unit.
Could you imagine these beasts with energy shields? Like holy f*ck that would be terrifying😳😳
Republic at war PTSD are what i get from these things. The AI Loved to use these damn things and only the heaviest ordiance would do anything to them
It’s always a good day when Geetsly upload❤️ Especially when the video is about the CIS 💪 Separatist!!!!
Oh my, and all that implies!
"Walking weapons platform" doesn't that pretty much describe ALL mechs and walker style vehicles?
WOW!! I never knew the Homing Spider Droid worked like that!! So in a sense they were mobile command centers!! Way cool!! ❤️😵❤️😵❤️
I’ve always loved how the legs of the OG9 look so primitive.
Imagine if the republic didnt have literal plot armor during the clone wars
I'd love videos on the Hailfire, dwarf spider droid and other tanks, vehicles and droids.
It’s weird how Spider Droids seem to be so iconic, but I have no memory of seeing them outside of video games, Attack of the Clones, and various LEGO media……same goes for the Hailfire Droids
Baktoid makes my favorite star wars vehicles
People shivered even more at the Senate.
The droids you really fear you dont live to tell the tale
I still have nightmares about the dwarf spiders in Republic Commando
So proud I picked up 2 of these at retail back in 2008👨🏽🦳
I like how you use the og battlefield loading screen as your intro
Really hate fighting against these on the original Battlefront duology and, back in the day, The Clone Wars 2002 video game.
Thank goodness we don't get to fight these in the likes of Republic Commando (though we see them in the background of the Geonosis surface levels).
If we get a new updated version, imagine they just add these to the mix.
This was their-
THEY GOT A AC130 IN THE AIR!
Patrick: "SPIDERS."
Huge it vibes just looking at it
so basically it’s just mini death star with legs
Would love to finally hear a bit about the hellfire droids
Gotta fear the OG! Respect!
I’m in a garc unit the 91st if you are wondering but we run into these things not very often but when we do we get shot up immediately. The spider droid is very scary.
now I want a short film highlighting the destructive potential of a spider droid group, unstoppable force, slow, methodical, relentless, DSD1s slowly hunting down the enemy, completely unaffected by their small-arms fire, not even bothering to fire back, just staring them down, tanking the hits with only cosmetic damage as it calls in the OG9 to burn everything to the ground, no amount of cover can save you now
Yes more please
They call this nugget a spider yet poor fella has 4 legs
The Tiger II of the separatist army
Senate: were going to send a army to do what needs to be done.
Separatist: lets send the OG9 spider droid. Aka the fuck around and find out droid.
Nobody:
Programmers in Star Wars: 💵💵💵💵💵😎💵💵💵💵💵
I wonder if you could reasonably fit a few of those on a ship (like with the AT-TE or AT-AT), would it work?
Interesting question
So that's the Droid Clones feared the most. I never considered them such a big threat. I'd only ever faced them in the original Battlefront games campaigns on Geonosis, Felucia, and Kashyeek, and in those cases, they didn't cause too much trouble. In the case of Geonosis, it was because well there was so much going on during that battle I would barely come across them too much. For Felucia I was too distracted by all the other horrors like the Acklays, to notice them. And on Kashyeek I had Wookie backup and would try to use the trees to my advantage to snipe people so I never came face to face with them. So I guess I was very lucky.
Also something I read about why walkers were so universally used as opposed to hover tanks or vehicles with hard wheels was because they were so power efficient and that even if they lost power they wouldn’t be stuck useless because they had hydraulics that could be used, dunno if that has any merit but I’ll accept it
There were also planets like Jabiim where repulsor tech was unreliable
spider tank does what spider tank does
What was the new network like for both side of the Clone Wars? Did they have Anchorman style fights? Keep up the content
