- The B1 droid is not just comic relief. It was one of the most effective units in the history of Star Wars, it was just done at such a scale that there are countless examples of their failures as well. But by pure numbers, the B1 battle droid has a higher kill count than any other droid unit out there. Learn its history in Baktoid and the Trade Federation, how it compared to B2, droideka, commando and other CIS Separatist droid units.

2:02 Tyvokka is Plo Koon's master. Not Ki Adi Mundi's master.
I have a full size B1 statue that my dad made for me as a kid, it now guards my apartment. I love my little clanker
That's awesome!
WHOAH WATCH THAT HARD R!!!
That’s so cool your dad sounds cool as hell
@@TheFirstCurse1😂
Your dad is trade federation employee?
Pretty sad B1 droid stopped being produced after the Clone Wars. There's no way the Yuuzhan Vong would have got a chance against them
Well, seeing them attacking in large numbers is quite likely the Yuuzhan Vong would have problems. A platoon of B2 super battle droids known as the Orange Panthacs were deployed to the planet Mantessa to combat the Fire Breathers of the Yuuzhan Vong. So they have a chance to win
Wasn’t the vong stuff written before episode 1? Could be wrong tho
@@nathanfleck2393
The NJO series was written during the prequel Era, actually, from 1999 to 2005
Didn't the various criminal groups and warlords produce B1s still? The CSA made em right ? Cheap , mass produced and easy to sell.
@@unitfifty-five7372they weren't produced anymore. (The empire made sure if that). But there were millions left over from the war that mercenaries and pirates picked up
It's pretty sad at how quickly the Battle Droids were beginning to gain sentience all the way until the end of the clone wars.
Not gonna lie, as iconic as the B1 is in the Clone Wars as an antagonist force, I miss the Phantom Menace voice and personality of the 00M series. It felt alot more threatening then.
To be fair, we see that in the B1s in Attack of the Clones, so it's not even a difference between the models. They just decided to make them incompetent comic relief in The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith for some reason
Nah man it’s a different voice actor.
So the 00M series sound different, a part of that is the voices lack the characteristics we’d like from clone wars, they lack warmth or curiosity.

Yeah they were so much better in The Phantom Menace and Attack Of The Clones. I hate that they made them into idiots.
@@retrodarktrooper6372They are not idiots in Revenge of the Sith and pretty much the same as in Phantom Menace. Only in Attack of the Clones they had no funny voice lines.
Ah, Clank Sinatra, My favorite B1.
He sings such wonderful songs such as My Way
Clankie Says Relax.
Destroy a hundred B1s, there's a thousand more to replace them. These guys may be fodder for the most part, but they are cost-effective and reliable enough for any job. The CIS certainly made great use of all the B1 was capable of with all the different variants and roles of the B1s there were.
Them developing personalities and sentience during the Clone Wars was a nice touch too, giving them much more character than just mindless automotons, even if it didn't last long with their production being shut down after the Clone Wars ended and most B1s being shut down.
But the amount reactivated warms my heart, knowing that so many still live long after the war ended.
As an old mech warrior once said, there is a special quality to being "good enough"
Out of curiosity, an IG-100 Magnaguard costs 90,000 credits, now imagine a Commando Droid model that costs the same price as a TIE Defender (300k credits)
I think it is impossible that the Commando droid is more expensive than an IG 100 droid. It can be somewhere around the price of the Droideka, or at most double it.
@@nomercyinc6783well then leave, and dont come back
@@nomercyinc6783 you have a very poor perception of the human condition. Understanding fiction is Understanding the mind of man. Inspiration often comes from nature, media, our struggles. The best inventions were inspired. The baffling stupidity of your statement makes me lose faith in the common man. Please shut up and leave the thinking for people who enjoy using their imagination.
@@nomercyinc6783yeah, because discussing which politicians lies you believe more or Lebrons triple double is much more important.
It’s called having hobbies and it is important. It makes it so they don’t suck the fun out of every room they enter unlike yourself.
@@nomercyinc6783They make up their own sh*t and then argue about it like it’s real life it’s weird af 😅😂
As someone who mains the CIS in Star Wars Legion and loves using B1 swarm tactics, I approve of this video!
I love the B1’s I’ve always felt that they got the short end of the stick. The clones at least had some semblance of compassion aimed towards them. The B1’s were always looked down on and mocked. I love Dr. Bones. I hope that one day we get a Star Wars show that will humanize the B1’s for us.
The B1s really are just existentially horrifying if you think about it. They're literally built to be destroyed with sloppy programming and directives.
I just got promoted. Last words of a tank b1 before being sliced and diced by yoda
I feel like a story of a stolen b1 being kept around as an "advisor"/pet/jester of a jedi general would be fun. Normal chatty personality but cut from CIS networks.
@@nomercyinc6783Just because they're made of metal doesn't mean they're not self-aware (and many Droids in Star Wars show a surprising amount of self-awareness, even those that don't speak basic or look humanoid). The tragedy of the B1s is that they weren't intended to be self-aware and through what is more or less spaghetti code, they became aware, and they're still treated as disposable, replaceable, and without any sort of valid experiences.
The Clones, too, are tragic because they are more easily humanized, their individuality and self-expression encouraged by some of the same people they would be (through orders or chips) forced to kill, and for the thing they fought so hard to protect be taken out because of the Emperor and his cronies.
Both of these combatants had the ability to live- to experience and appreciate the act of existing- stripped away from them. Both were discarded as soon as they were useful, seen as little more than numbers on a board.
It’s literally a numbers game for the B1.
While not canon, there was R0-GR, Roger, from the Freemaker Adventures, a battle droid turned nanny for three generations of Freemakers.
@@nomercyinc6783 No need to swear at me, its a Lego television show about a family named Freemaker. Lego shows are often surprising humorous for adults while directed at children, while also supplying a bit of action too.
In our research of the B1s, our lead remembers an old source book, possibly a retconned edition he isnt sure, mentioning the Geonosian b1s were that color due to unique ores in the asteroids causing their orange color, a case of 'it's here, so lets use this metal' - Project Necromancer team
The B1 battledroid was always so cool to me after seeing them the first time in the movie. Sure they were not the strongest, but it was something about their skeletal design that made them so appealing to me.
*Turn on the clanka*
*Cheer the clanka*

Edit: GIVE US AN VIDEO ON HKB-3 HUNTER KILLER DROID
Hk 47 wants a word
Clarification: while deadly on an armada scale, b1s are notoriously ineffective and clumsy. As individuals, they are next to useless
Statement: It would behoove any ruler who wants to change the course of actions in the galaxy to simply make 100 of me, and send us to work. Unfortunately, this is not possible, as I am unique, and unable to be imitated properly
Maybe "quadrillion battle droids" didn't literally mean B1 series battle droids but rather ALL the droids used for battle. DSDs, B2s, OG9s, the *entire* arsenal.
Tyvokka was Plo Koon's master. Not Kai-Adi Mundi's. Just to clarify 😊
In one episode of the Clone Wars cartoon, there was an episode in which the republic asked for a loan from a banking clan and they raised the interest from 10 to 25 percent. But without an additional army of clones it would be very difficult. They would have to announce mobilization. And one of the representatives of the banking clan said that he had just given a loan to the Confederacy of Independent Systems under the same conditions (we know that they are not, CIS not pay any %) for 3 million battle droids. After which one of the senators said that they were wrecked. Of course, this was probably the middle of the war and 3 million would have meant a breakthrough and superiority CIS forces. So it makes sense.
Mr. Bones is probably one of my favorite droids in canon.
I want a complete Break Down of the KX-series Security Droid.
Droids are my absolute favorite thing about Star Wars. Not the Jedi, Sith, or even the force, but the Droids and the technology of the universe.
Same here
Imagine you are a GAR soldier, or a conscript, or even PDF trooper on some Mid Rim dirtball. You aren't clone, but you have been trained well and you have all the gear you need to keep that unnamed Mid Rim planet well in Republic hands. All is good, until Separatists decide they need that world, too. First some organic troopers come, maybe Koorivans or even local seppie sympathisers. They are trained, like you, but you have dug in, and they are not, so you repell them easily enough. Then Separatists deploy B1 battle droids. Those are even easier to fight against, they are walking openly, don't care to take cover and you cut them down. Then you learn those were just a recon... and Separatists now know, where your gun emplacements and strong points are. Now there are magnitudes more B1 battle droids, and they are supported by tanks, atrillery, aerospace assets and droid walkers. And the last thing you hear before your positions are overrun and your friends are dead is "ROGER ROGER" and discharge of E-5 blaster rifle...
Glad I just found this channel.... Getting me through some tough times
The after-war life of these droids is heaps kool..even when playing the new jedi games with my kids, we get pumped to see all the Clone Wars droids, haha!!
Pretty awesome storyline though
These droids have earned my respect
they have so many advantages as a grand army and their big brothers the B2s they should be respected even if they are a little silly
The quality of your videos is amazing.
Thanks I appreciate that!
2:02 Slight whoops here. It wasn’t Ki-Adi’s master, it was Plo Koon’s master.
a string of CIS centered content and i’m all for it!! love ya meta
there was never anything important about the cis. neither the republic nor cis were in control of their own lives. palpatine pulling every single string doesnt make any part of the cis great or special. the cis leadership deserved anakin ending them entirely and ruthlessly

The B1 Battle Droid aka the best and most funniest cannon fodder in media ever.
B1 battle droids, or Clankers as the clones call them
HK-47 would disagree.
Love Mr. Bones and the Aftermath book trilogy. Mark Thompson is the Star Wars voice acting GOAT
I love these guys in Jedi Survivor, as whenever I manage to get Cal killed by one of them (it doesn’t happen often, as I tend to target them first even when getting attacked by tougher enemies), their responses to being the ones to take out a Jedi are so freaking hilarious that I’m not even mad at having to respawn at the last visited meditation point before making my way back to where I was at before getting wiped.
Why am I only now getting a notification for this?! This video has been up for 5 days?
B1s are one of my favorite rank-and-file enemy footsoldiers in fiction. I also like how they have different variants.
I know that this show is in a grey area of canon. But I hope you have mentioned R0-GR aka Roger from The Freemaker Adventures. The Freemakers were a family of scavengers/mechanics who found Roger during one of their scavenging trips before the series began. I don't want to spoil the show for anyone who hasn't seen it. They join the rebellion somewhere in between episodes 5 and 6. And years later Roger was seen on the resistance base at D'Qar telling war stories as well as unique encounters during the imperial era.
Finnally the detailed lore ive been wanting
glad to hear it
Dude did his research, props! 🧠 👍
Right off the bat, the Iconic B1 march on Naboo.
I saw the title of the video and thought to myself self “This must be a early April fools joke” 😂
Imagine if battle droids were built to look like human skeletons, like the Terminator
That’s the Yuuzhan Vong Hunter Killer droid for you
@@akumaking1 thanks for reminding me
I just checked, I can't believe you haven't done a video on these guys yet! I can understand if you forgot though, given you multitude of other videos.
Most common droid, yes!
Most deadly, definitely not!
Another Up-to-date remaster B1 Lore video of Metanerds lore.
What is the gameplay footage at 20:40 that looks like an RTS with the battle droids?
I love Battle droids they are so freaking funny 🤣
The organic droid you mention might be something similar to what the CIS did to Echo after he was believed to have been killed getting Master Koth (spelling???) and Tarkin from the prison planet in the one episode of Clone Wars and with the final product seen in either Season 6 or 7 of the CloneWars show
I'd like to use the B-1s as minions. They're clumsy and stupid but they're loyal and they never give up. A single B-1 on Earth, today, would be the closest thing to a Terminator we've ever seen. Imagine the Atlas robot with a droid brain.
Tyvokka was Plo Koon's master, not Ki Adi Mundi's
14:22 that almost sounds like the Ssiiruvi entechment
I like the video and especially agree with the quantity. Often in such universes the sizes are inflated, hundreds of millions! BILLIONS, QUANTELIONS! But they never show them. Motivating laziness to draw, it is expensive to shoot in films and cartoons. But it seems to me that the matter is in relatively small quantities. 1.2 million clones? Yes. Maybe 1-3 million, seems realistic. But forgetting that there are still usually people in the planetary defense forces. 40 million droids or 60-70 of all modifications, more is true. The same goes for the number of ISDs. In legends there are 25,000 of them, which is a lot and we don’t see them. The alliance base on Hoth, led by Vader, was stormed by 3 ISD. Not 300 or 30. This is a rebel base. There is not a lot of nothing in either games or movies. In the universe, a lot of everything is explained by a low price. But I would suggest the opposite! Money costs more, and especially military products. Such as droids or spaceships. Now, as far as I understand, you can buy a space interceptor for 10 salaries. But this is nonsense. I think the price is from 1000 salaries. And besides, an apple costs not 1 credit, but 0.01 credit. Then the price of the equipment is really normal and at least a little realistic.
The numbers in Star Wars are generally far too small, tbh. How many habitable star systems are there in the known galaxy? Probably around 30 million. If you want to show military strength and presence like the Empire with its Tarkin Doctrine, 25,000 ISDs is not enough. Hell, even 100,000 won't cut it. The same goes for armies, especially the CIS. But I agree, giving huge numbers and then showing at most 20 starships seems dishonest and lazy. However, I also don't know how you could make a gigantic space battle - we're talking possibly hundreds of ships - visually appealing. An appalling example would be the battle of Exegol in RoS.
The most intense war was fought over several well-populated worlds with industry and economy. In other systems, how many living beings are there? The people of the Ahsoka race numbered 50,000 in total. And he had no economy or industry. They were simply taken into slavery and decided to be sold in one of the episodes of the clone wars. For such people, even 1 ISD will be too much. What is the point of inhabited worlds if 1000 oboregens with a stick in their hands can live there or 10,000? It is important to control sector capitals, strategic mines, trade routes, and shipyards. Nobody needed to sit on a planet with a population of 5,000 monkeys living in tents.@@Eric_Carraux_Eichler
I would guess that the transport vehicles that carry the folded B1 charge them. A type of wireless charging station as they are held or a small port. Using the same power generator as the transport to recharge any droids before redeploying them.
The most deadly droid in history is Chopper C1-10P change my mind
Rest in peace, my battle droid brothers...
Remember: When you don't understand something new then use what you do understand and apply it to that B1 becoming somehow deadly for example.
Imagine if George Lucas saw all of this fan affection and didn’t sell the franchise to Disney…
they are fun bunch when they have their own personalities.
Anyone remember the movie Short Circuit? I always thought that those robots would actually be great combat droids. They put a lot of thought into that design. We already saw Johnny 5 take out 1-4 like it was game. Johnny could probably take out B-1s like a Jedi.
The ig-97s don't get mentioned often.
I hope a B1 will be a main character in future star wars content.
A bit after the segment about the price of a B1, I remembered something mentioned in the Clone Wars series. When Grievous destroys a B1, Dooku reprimands him over a hologram, saying something along the lines of, "Battle Droids aren't cheap, you don't see the Jedi treating their clones so ruthlessly."
Edit: Found a clip of the scene, he says, and I quote, "Grievous, those battle droids are expensive." The clip cuts off before the comment about the clones so I don't know how close I was.
Does anyone know from which concept art books those screenshots came from?
Now so a video on the B1R droid.
Occasionally I will still hear someone at work respond with a Roger Roger… Easy to recognize the prequel fans!
We only ever saw smaller than a quarter of what the droid army was. During the Clone Wars.
So we don't even truly know the actual number. Imma keep believing it was Quadrillion but was too much for Palpatine so it remained on standby.
45 million droids is absurdly low for a galactic war involving thousands of planets, especially in canon where we rarely see organic confederate troopers.
Miss my b1 in galaxies..
What background music is used?
I'm surprised nobody realized that if the separatists actually pulled their hands right and we're controlled by the palpa. the clones would have lost the war
cool
The best B1 was OOM-9. That droid was a beast
Astronomically numerous throughout the Clonewars.
Still my favorite droid type
Honestly at times i like to imagine someone getting abunch if these and use them to serve as waiters at a diner somewhere
Hello
The name of the books where you take the informacion?
I wonder if the B1's developing personalities is a side effect of not getting a memory wipe and simply experiencing things like an astromech or a protocol droid.
I love the B1 droids. I’d love to own one. I’ll probably disconnect the chattering voice box. Or just program it to say “Roger Roger”
Imagine an army of B1's and clone troopers...
I want one tbh
B1 31bby to greater
Astromech :P
Cable recovery completed.
Numerical superiority is still superiority. Especially when it's as vast as the droid army. An army that doesn't think, feel, eat, sleep or do anything else other than expend ammunition in your direction. And ww2 Russian Army might have something to say about the efficacy of numerical wave tactics.
one thing i love to know is why where they so stupid special the normal b1
Day 2 of asking for the super star destroyer please 🙏
Complete breakdown? Yea, them clankers tend to do that.
YAY
Sure look like there is Quadrillion of them in the clone wars microseries though XD
I mean, the droid army did give the clones a run for their money, so they had to be pretty tough!
**Wookie jedi [name I can't spell] was Plo's master not Ki-adi's
Can someone give me the name of the voice actor fpr the b1 in clone wars😂
Its sad How the B1 got treated in the war and after the clone wars. sure it wasnt the best droid and wasnt the brightest lights on the ship but i love them.
Even that they have so many variants is cool even if some of them aren't that usefull.
In my oppinion i like the B1 and if i would be in the star wars galaxy, I would try to make an better B1 version. Fixing its problems and make it better. surely i wouks try to keep its look how we all know them.
also i would lead my own droid army (In any game that gives the possibility to lead the CIS or play as an droid). i would prefer the droid army always over any other factionz even if it could end up badly xD
The Automaton army is strong, but the light of democracy shall prev... wait, wrong universe.
❤ i showed this video to my brothers steam deck... It's a calculator now.
True
The way I see them they are the cheapest possible way to have an e11 blaster in commission. Cheap hardware and droid programming. That’s why they are deadly. Because they have guns.
Big ol Tinnies
I want an AI chat bot that sounds like a b1
