    The power source being in the "head" of the Scorpenek actually makes a lot of sense.
    The biggest threat to it would be mines, since mines are burried and would be inside of the shield by the time they're triggered. So putting the power sources and processors in the top and making the bottom more heavily armored against physical attacks would be the Scorpenek's only real means of defense against mines.

  • @roger632
    @roger632 2 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    What I want to see is the New Republic repurposing old Droidekas, fixing them up and upgrading them, and then painting the parts that used to be copper in a metallic navy blue color with some touches of light blue here or there, and the photoreceptors could beam yellow instead of red, and then of course with the yellow New Republic insignia on their back shell. I've seen this color scheme on New Republic T-85 X-Wings, so the New Republic does display such colors. And I just wanna see Droidekas in live action again lol.

    An old Sith war droid being in the Aphra comic is pretty insane because that means those units are officially canon, whether or not the events of that era are though remains to be seen. Still we also have a KOTOR remake coming and an amazing new cinematic for SWTOR so I'm hoping the future of the Old Republic is a bright one.

    I reckon the reason for the scorponeks not being as effective in the Book of Boba Fett was due to either the pykes turning down the blaster intensity to prevent total annihilation (geddit) of Mos Espa or the fact that they weren’t functioning 100% due to their age or problems moving them between planets due to new republic/empire remnant checks (ie having to deconstruct/reconstruct them so they arent noticed).

      Hopefully we see them upgraded so they can shoot from further away than like 20 feet and actualy be able to hit something instead of missing litteraly every time.
      Maybe we could also see them move faster than a mobility scooter with dying batteries and we could get their weapons upgraded so that they dont get stopped dead by a half foot thick mud wall.

Grievous can literally pull that trick on the Republic ships and can also have them stationed on the outside of starships and space stations for extra protection and firepower

Everyone seems to have the solution to hair loss but have no idea what actually causes it to be faster or slower for some people? No one can tell me what I can do to speed up hair loss but millions of people can tell me what to do to slow it down.
