Imagine just having a B1 as a personal house droid. Guards the place, makes dumb jokes, cleans, it’s perfect.
**RO-GR has entered the chat**
They're honestly adorable!
If what you say is true then you have earned my respect
@@demi-femme4821 yes
I would love to have a personal B1 house droid.
It’s even better when you realized they recycled parts. That means that the droids were immortal and environmentally friendly
I mean, according to Soylent Green, flesh is recyclable.
@@geetslys Could you explain to me why Palps NEVER used his lightsabers after ROTS? I have been wondering this for ages.
@@jerakona7658 he found lightsabers as barbaric if I recall correctly.
@Jerakona He also believed a true sith lord was powerful enough that a lightsaber was beneath them. He also viewed them as a jedis weapon so the fact the had 2 very ornate sabers as an insult to the jedi order

Well, a very lite version of Warhammer 40k.
The CIS had the "perfect soldier"
Cheap, didn't question orders, disposable, recyclable.
They were a perfect "quantity over quality" example.
Cheap? Didn't Dooku said to Grievous the battle droids were very expensive in TCW
La Sombra No he was just being an ass, B1s only cost about 2,000 credits and that is cheap as hell, with their blaster they are only 2,500 credits. If you were a bounty hunter most bounties payed 40,000credits or more so you could get 16 droids for just 1 bounty and the CIS had 5 of the biggest and wealthiest trade groups backing it.
Actually, they frequently questioned orders mich to the contempt to Separatist officers. General Grievous in particular hated having to give them orders twice.
@@toby1061
Dooku was particularly mad because General Grievous had a really bad habit of abandoning all droids when battles were lost which could really run those numbers up unnecessarily. He wasn't good at making tactical retreats, or more specifically, he never attempted to.
Deadlyaztec27 They only questioned Greivous because his commands were a lot of the time based around his skill and the droids programming saw Jedi as a major enemy so when when Greivous gave a command they would realize it would usually killed them so they questioned it, as ap posed to the droids that serve Dooku or Ventress they always address them formally and immediately do the tasks they want.

Their name is literally CHAD, so how could they not be strong?
They were also designed for combat, and the Trade Federation wouldn't use them to defend from pirates if they were actually bad, they wouldn't want to lose their goods. I loved how the Mandalorian really showed the power of droids and why people hated them in the original trilogy era
Statement: *Yes, these Meatbags shall know true fear!*
Especially lucky that the IG series were destroyed before their plan could go off.
@@darthzayexeet3653 Commentary: Charging weapons, this should be fun!
@@user_name_redacted Agreement: This was my thought as well, master. You show excellent logical skills... for a meatbag.
I think it's more that pirates, like most criminals, aren't willing to risk being shot at all. The competence of the shooter is irrelevant. Much like how most gun crimes against someone armed are averted simply by showing you're armed even when the other person is already pointing a gun at you. Criminals are almost always absolute cowards. The pirates don't care that the B1 is crap, they care that they'll be shot at.
The beauty of numbers is they are honest and reliable. Invade literally everything with hordes of walking blasters. Even if you lose, the enemy cannot fight everywhere all the time.
Not to mention their greatest advantage besides huge number, they are droids.
They don't need sleep, food or medical care to function, they don't get affected by low morale or sickness, they don't even need to breath.
Even if you are fighting againts Clones or Jedi or even Mandalorias if play to all these advantages you will win. Because they are still living being with biological needs.
You can cut their supply lines and made sure they don't get any food or supplies to support their army, or wittle them down little by little with fast lighting strikes, eventually they will be either to hungry and too tired or too injured to be able to fight.
This also gives the Droid army another advatange, logistics, not only they are cheap to produce and maintain but the logictics needed to keep them running is practically none if we compare them to armies like the clone army.
One-man armies only work in fiction. Playing foxhole and running a small clan in there taught me some respect towards manpower. A small unit can’t do shite because you’re constantly shorthanded. You can’t specialize, because you need everyone to do everything. You don’t have armored support when you go infantry because you don’t have enough people to crew the damn tanks. You go crew the tanks - now you have no infantry to support them. You go logistics to provide supplies or engineering to build bases - now you don’t have enough people at the frontline.
It’s just like you said - without numbers, you can’t be everywhere and do everything. Even if you *need* to.
The only reason clones stood even a slightest chance against Roger-Rogers is because the latter were made comically, exaggeratedly, unbelievably stupid. And even then it was only when there wasn’t enough of those deployed to simply overwhelm the clones.
They were like ants against a spider. Don’t matter how strong the spider is the overwhelming number of ants will eventually be able to kill it.
You play SimAnt as a kid too?
Exactly.
I guess incinerator Droid we’re fire ants then. In a literal sense, obviously.
"They don't complain when you send them on suicide missions"
Someone should've told that to Dave Filoni
One of the reasons i heard is that the software update for each B1 is way beyond their hardware capability (basically downloading the IOS 14 into the Linksyss iphone) hence why they are unnecessarily chatty and "stupid", doesn't help that Grievous's order is not exactly tactically sound (we never see droids questioning Dooku's order for example)
The older OOM don't have this issue since they rely on a central computer
@@quakethedoombringer sounds like a weak excuse to write childish comedy
@@quakethedoombringer It’s just a weak justification to have comedic skits after the fact. Filoni simply thought it was hysterical to couple someone as irritable as Grievous with the “idiotic naive henchman” archetype.
Suicidal brains cost lots of money
i remember playing the star wars sagas table top rpg, one time we had an entire party of B-1 battle droids. the back story was we were inside a transport unit that had crashed and remained deactivated through the rise of the empire until we were discovered by a rebel cell and reprogramed and reactivated to be ground soldiers. it was a really fun campaign, and everyone was constantly making droid jokes and rodger rodgers. probably some of the most fun ive had playing a table top.
"wake up sleepy head. you've been asleep for a long time. long story short - shoot the white plastic dudes"
*"roger roger"*
Sounds awesome
Random Stormtrooper: "Who is Roger?“
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the CIS made their droids more independant after the Battle of Naboo (to prevent droids from shutting down after one ship is destroyed). This lead to the droids developing personalities (hence the change of voices) and ultimately becoming less intelligent and effective.
They made it so units had independent programing to compute and take action by themselves. They disabled this feature when central command was avaliable to give orders more efficiently. See the clone wars season 7 battle of anaxes. The droids were still being given a central order system that the republic was able to disrupt
I think Rex described them well. They always keep coming, wave after wave. It's truly terrifying when you think of an attack force that will just keep coming, relentlessly, while your own numbers continues to dwindle.
Not mention that this endless waves of enemies are compose of hordes of machines that don't need to sleep, eat or even breath.
Meaning that they can come at any moment at any time even when you are sleeping or eating, maning that even taking a rest to fight is a huge risk.
So beside the fact that your numbers continue to dwindle and your troops get more tired and more hungry the morale keep getting lower along with the mental state of your soldiers.
The clones are one the best elite soldiers the galaxy has ever seen. But they are still humans can still be affceted by likes of.

Let's not forget that those backpacks weren't just for show. Those allowed instant communication with command and essentially let the commander know everything that was going on in the battle and then let him coordinate the droids with perfect efficiency.
Obi-Wan: "in my experience there's no such thing as luck"
Trade Federation who lost the battle of naboo because the opposition got lucky:
Bruh
One could argue that Anakin was led by the force the whole time, peaking in the destruction of the Droid Control Ship. Wich was likely what Obi-Wan referred to. Like with the force being a cosmic power with its own will, wich it can more or less impose on people, there is actually little room for something like luck. Because little actually happens by chance.
There is no luck but the force is all powerful
@@ikrIkarus another could argue that it was the doing of earth jar jar
@@ikrIkarus well luck could be the force's way of affecting peoples destinies, Anakin had good luck in his youth, but then he force decided that he'd be a big badass cyborg when he grew up.
I would laugh my ass off if he (Anakin) suicide crash in order to destroy the entire station.
I always feel bad for the B1s, it isn't their fault that they were pitted against _genetically-perfected super soldiers led by magical sword-wielding space wizards!_
And their command didn't play to win
The clones weren’t super soldiers, just men that reached the physical and mental human limit. Of course Jango has great genetics too which helped.
@@adamlaouiti6415 id say that a human raised from birth to be a soldier and has reached the physical and mental human limits are super soldiers.
@@agentbarron3945 Maybe super soldiers to us, being that they’re extremely talented and well-trained. Perhaps you have a different idea associated with the term “super soldier”. I think that a super soldier is beyond natural human limits and is an enhanced killing machine.
@@adamlaouiti6415 Like a clone genetically modified and trained to kill? I always got the impression that the clones were beyond the limit of untampered-with human genetics.
The B1s may not be the best, but unlike Stormtroopers, hundreds of named characters of some importance have died at their hands, I think mountains of bodies of dead Clones and Jedi during the Clone Wars can attest to that.
If your fighting a traditional war, go with the B1s, if it's more of a gorilla war with needing to use a smaller number to take out a bigger army like the Battle of Scarif, then go with the more advanced models like Commandos.
The word you wanted was GUERILLA war. Not gorilla
Ima gorilla in a fucking coup
@@MapleLeafAce
I'm pretty sure you'd still want Commando Droids when fighting an army of gorillas.
One of the things that makes the battle droids look bad compared to Jedi is that 90% of the time, the viewers in the films only see them getting mowed down by Anakin and Obi-Wan. But Anakin and Obi-Wan weren't representative examples of the average Jedi; they were each easily among the top 5 most skilled Jedi in the whole order through the clone wars, and rank among the greatest Jedi warriors of all time. Obi-Wan in particular was renowned for having a defense that was almost impenetrable, which is why blasters look useless against a Jedi. All Jedi were trained to deflect blaster bolts, but being able to do it flawlessly 100% of the time like Obi-Wan did was unheard of. In fact, the viewer can see this in "Attack of the Clones" where a number of unnamed background Jedi do indeed get killed by blaster fire from B1 battle droids. For a Jedi who wasn't Obi-Wan or Anakin, taking on a hundred or more battle droids out in the open was suicide.
Worse normal shooting but a surprising strong Plot-Armor-Piercing rating on thse E-5s
The whole point of the droid army was that they were cheap, and easy to QUICKLY to replace. In fact they preferred a droid was destroyed entirely rather than partially damaged as it was cheaper to replace it than to repair it.
Whereas a clone army was expensive and replacing them took way longer.
Perfect weapons are overrated, having a large enough amount of good enough weapons is the key to victory - Stalin probably..

With some mobility upgrades, the B1s wouldn't necessarily need to be smart or armoured, just really, really fast. If they could move twice as fast as a clone and had tactics with a higher emphasis on rapid maneuvers, they could very quickly overwhelm and outmaneuver their enemies.
Imagine an army of cheap, agile robot Usain Bolts with guns.
I love how Geetsly’s is just here to remind everyone how good the Separatists actually were. They deserve way more credit!!
I always loved battle droids, I would mimic the voice of the B1's, pretend to move my arm like a B2, heck, I even knew a guy who made a lifesize Destroyer Droid with cardboard, from that day on I've had a lifelong goal of owning a metal replica, Battlefront was also a contributing factor to my love for battle droids, meatbags inferior, clankers superior.
AY YO HARD R JESUS CHRIST!!!
I would want a droid army if i was in Star Wars. The battle droids are a perfect example of Quantity over Quality. They don't get tired, they don't really talk back and disobey orders or betray you. They can operate in almost any environment. They're cheap to make. They don't need to eat or sleep and don't get sick. The only thing you would really need to worry about is power and ammunition. Plus they are also very versatile, able to be programmed and reprogrammed for different operations, jobs, or specialties. Not to mention they don't need to spend years training. They can come off the assembly line ready to fight on the spot. Not only that they're environmentally friendly. You can gather the parts and reassemble and recycle them easily.
"Droids never talk back"
Meanwhile in the Clone Wars show:
"But sir! There are still droids in that ship!"
"I DONT CARE"
"Roger, roger."
*pew pew pew!*
2,000 credits or 10 million, that’s the real question.

@@toby1061 And clones take close to ten years to be battle ready... Unless you was to field an army of children.

The primary weakness of the B1 is easily addressed by modern network architecture. The Single Point of Failure needs redundancy. Don't have 1 central Droid Control Ship. Have 3 or even a dozen of them working together as a server network. Adding in a basic fail-over algorithm to prevents the destruction of any one ship from crippling the army.
Nice
When I was I kid everyone made fun of me for liking the B1 battle droid as a character but they underestimate the fear of numbers and mass production
the thing is that in the Clone Wars (cg series) they tuned the B1 battle droids into comic relief so it took away their menace and power from them. In the original Clone Wars cartoon from back in the day (before of revenge of the sith) the B1 battle droids are weak but their numbers make them very powerful. There are many things that the old cartoon series got right that the cg Clone Wars totally missed
Yeah, they actually acted like swarming robots in that one. The comic relief in the CGI Clone Wars isn’t even funny past a certain age, just inorganic and forced banter.

"needs no armor

6:55 HK-47 would disagree. According to him, Jedi have a bad habit of dying to simple things like land mines. They rush towards their target headlong and overlook simple traps. A grenade can also do a serious number to them. If it doesn't kill them outright or wound them, it will distract them long enough for a sniper to get a clean shot. Their overconfidence is their downfall, since they don't expect a "simple" droid to take them down. Using weapons that shoot solid rounds instead of blaster bolts also surprised them, since they couldn't deflect those.
so us earth ppl can take down a jedi with a shot gun
I for one would love to see a clone wars era game based on surviving the conflicts between the two armies. The relentless and numerous Droids versus the adaptive and human Clones, with you the player in the middle of it all.
A non linear game that forces players to think on their feet. To maximize cover in destructible environments, to always be moving from AI kill groups, to conserving Tibanna gas and RPG Ammunition.

Just remember how many time Republic forces were pinned down and on the verge of defeat until the Jedi showed up to save them.
I always somewhat thought, The B1's were cute in thier own way.
Something to consider: The B1's were intentionally programmed as well as built so each one would be able to repair other B1 droids. Literally, give ONE lone B1 time to rebuild another and those two can raise an entire field of B1's within a day after they've been mowed down. An unthinking, unfeeling army with no need for rest or food, that can outnumber and hurl an endless supply of willing bodies at the opposing force is pretty much an intimidating thought for anyone.
Unthinking and unfeeling huh?
**Comedic relief intensifies**
They need rest, they need to be periodically recharged or will shut down from power outage.
assuming they have enough power supply ofc
I agree and we can also see in the clone wars a b-1 droid coming to the end of several clones and we must also remember that the clone soldiers had not finished their training during the clone wars.
B1s and Vultures are my favourite droids in the whole Star Wars series. I'm just disappointed that they are portrayed as silly canon fodder in the Clone Wars series.
I like how menacing and intimidating they portrayed the B1s in the Phantom Menace. Too bad The Clone Wars series turned them into incompetent comic relief.
What
Alot of droids in tcw could still be menacing.
yeah, in the prequel movies there were a few moments of battle droid humor, but those could usually be explained by their poor programming - for example, the droid in the Naboo hangar not being able to process Qui Gon's statement that he was taking his charges to Coruscant and defaulting to "you're under arrest". The Clone Wars just upped the droid stupidity to 11 to the point that it didn't make sense. The movies for the most part portrayed the droids as cheap and disposable terminators. Then again, look at how they treated the stormtroopers in Rebels. They showed how grueling the training was, how the stormtroopers were basically raised and trained to be merciless killing machines themselves, and then have them making jokes or acting stupid before the rebels get the drop on them, while in the movies they were stoic, faceless and efficient killers(except for the Death Star escape, where it could be argued they deliberately missed).

An underrated B1 advantage is how easily replaceable they are. When a B1 is destroyed is takes a few days to build another, where as a new clone takes years, and a Jedi is almost irreplaceable.

“The production cost and the weight of the parts were the most efficient parts of those machines. They were certainly dangerous in numbers and could target efficiently, but they had a disadvantage that they had to communicate with each other verbally. Since they didn’t receive a lot of updates through the war to strategy unless they were specifically programmed, they were completely laughably easy to knock down, typically, throwing it to the ground really hard would be enough to bust one up, if not, they weren’t typically agile enough to fight back, not like the B2s. Those poor fellows should’ve just been ship guards and administrative droids. They weren’t pushovers, I will agree with you on that one.

What a coincidence, it's my birthday and Geetsly's covers the uderrated B1 from that community post earlyer, nice.
The B1 battle droid was perhaps the greatest example of quantity over quality! The first B1's did have the fatal flaw of having their command ship as something they had to have to function, after Naboo that requirement was taken away making them truly unstoppable in large numbers. There's multiple source materials stating that Droid production was always kept at max capacity under the orders of Grevious. If the CIS were independent and realized that they didn't need the Sith Lords, they could have easily overwhelmed the galaxy with sheer numbers alone.
In short: " Cannonfodder is actually useful in battle if used right."
combine all of this with the fact that if they had a star-forge no one will be able to defeat them as their will be infinte number of driods with lower if not zero cost
I love the droids they are epic, it’s good to see someone talking about the chads
You're the only channel I know of that really give the clones justice
Me when seeing the thumb tag “I accuse u of treason against the grand army of the republic!”
I think their fragility is a strategic design flaw.
Imagine a real life scenario, where a country attacks another country with drones, armed with 9mm pistols. Somehow civilians manage to shoot down some drones and salvage them. Suddenly you face a armed milita, which uses your own weapons against you.
Because the E-5 is a Blaster that would easily cause burns due to a lacking cooling system, they’re used by droids because it’s practically impossible to use the things for long periods of time If your organic, although some CIS PSFs armed themselves with modified E-5s that weren’t too hot to handle. Also the thing isn’t that accurate meaning that a smaller force using this carbine would be better off with a different weapon even if you could handle the heat. It’s only through sheer numbers and the B1’s targeting system that these rifles actually kill people.
Not gonna lie from phantom menace onward the b1s have consistently been some of my favorite characters
I love your channel thank you for your entertainment really tysm
That amazing thumbnail
1:04 yes the B1 Channel Droid is the best
He says "Chadle"
@@kiwisinner that's what the subtitle said and I just couldn't type it out
The Clone Troopers can just eat the B1's if they're made of Meal.
So basically they're the TIE fighter of droids. Cheap, versatile and likely very easy to recycle.
There’s an idea that I like, that isn’t canon, where the B1 is originally designed not as a war droid like the SBD and Droideka, but as a home/factory hand. This explains the personalities and poor combat abilities for me. The war quickly escalated and required droid deployment which only allowed for basic modifications before subsidizing the ranks of the more expensive and complex SBDs.
Aye, they feel like they are the droid equivalent of conscripts.
I always just assumed that movie wise the CIS lost because they were victims of “writers needed a cool looking bad guy for the hero’s to fight so they had to loose”.
Lore wise I think Palpatine had them programmed purposely to be buggy and not be able to decimate the republic. Many great CIS generals died in odd ways. I think Palps had them killed because he never wanted the CIS to be effective. Just effective enough to be a threat.
Overall I think the CIS could’ve been superior to the republic but strict planning and cultivating of the better pieces the CIS had them as a Saturday cartoon villain and not as a true faction that wanted to succeed from a corrupt bureaucratic cesspool.
Palpatine had full control of both sides and purposefully drew out the war. The CIS would have won if him and Dooku didn't secretly cripple it behind the scenes.
I think one thing that should be noted, is how Gungun war technology seems to be specifically made for droids. They had to know what was coming, cause pretty much all that stuff woulda been useless against a flesh army. I think it's a good indication they were supposed to have a much bigger role in the prequels, but changed due to Jarjar hate. Maybe not as far as the Jarjar sith twist, although that would have likely made his character more likeable too.
Awesome video dude! Can u go over the AAT tanks next?
So basically army Ants vs Termites
All about numbers..
Wait, which ones are the ants and which are the termites.
@@geetslys Droids might be ants as they are stronger as a group
@@geetslys Good Geetsly, good, know kill them, kill them now.
@@captaindc3889 ,so CIS is large numbers of Army Ants,with the mixture of those huge ants as well as the many,many,many smaller ones compared to the Republics' same size Termites,where only a single type and usually fewer in number soldier termites.
I think the only mistake was removing the central computer in the Clone Wars. While it was a vulnerability, giving the B1s the ability to function with limited independence, basically having animal level intelligence so they don't simply shutdown, while still being guided by a dedicated central intelligence would have put less stress on the droid brain, allowing it to function much more rapidly and dynamically.
The only thing would be insuring that the central computer is properly defended, hidden, or have redundancies. If at Naboo, there were two or three central computers in separate ships, one acting as a the primary commander, and the others acting as backup or sub-commander, the Trade Federation would have won.
You can't hide something that broadcasts that much.
@@DIEGhostfish No, but you can obscure it. Hiding it doesn't simply mean making it invisible. It also means making hard to pinpoint. A number of repeaters around the combat area will make it much harder to pinpoint the actually central computers.
From what I heared 1 clone (including armor, weapon, training and food cost from when they were created to when they completed their training in Kamino) costs about the same 16000 droids.
That is also pretty much the reason why a lot of people fear a Robot overtake when AI gets to smart.
I don't think people fear ai because of star wars canon.
I like how you brought back the middle part to the old intro
Oom-9 wants to know your location
I read the title and saw the thumbnail STOP IT 🤣😂
WE ARE MEME BEASTS
Honestly I would love to be a cyborg with the parts of the b1 battle droids
I appreciate the effort that went into the thumbnail XD
