“The commando droid that killed Echo”
Clone Wars Season 7: *Yeets*
XD
Echo has been ‘alive’ since 2014. The bad batch arc was released as an animatic and was canon.
If he was informed even at the time he'd known echo didn't die.
They had released an unfinished version of the episode years before.
“Echo dead”
Me: WRONG!!!!!!
Echo had a character model for the original season 7, but it was tossed aside after the legends purge. However, Dave kept the design, along with others and brought them back for the real season 7.
Everybody gangsta till the commando droids start jumping.
Seriously though, when they started flipping through the hallway in one of the citadel episodes, it was truly terrifying
Jac ck also one of them looks like they were raping Ashoka, I’m not kidding. Look closely during the fight in the Cidatel.
@@apolloknight9521 wow did not see that
Yoda droids
Side ways flip by the BX looks way creepy. Looks like pissed off human skeleton.. O. O
Feeling really appreciated about now.
So are we supposed to shoot each other now
Grievous would behead my ass if we didn't
Cue mortal kombat theme
I as a bowl of soup agrees with the commando.
Fight!!! (Also what commando?????
I never knew that basic battle droids were over 6ft tall that be actually kinda terrifying to see an army of them coming towards you
Yeah, but remember, they’re only a threat in numbers and the standard battle droids are hilariously dumb
Starman Crusader and they make good Friends
@@starmancrusader not even in large numbers are they a threat,I forget where but I remember it being stated that they are the cause of up to 20% of their own casualties because they mindless walk forward with their triggers held down, inadvertantly shooting their own kind in the back.
@@starmancrusader Well then it would be terrifying to see kalani (6'2) walking towards you with that demonic voice
I'm gonna be around the height of a standard issue B1 when fully grown, now that's sick.
6:08 the fact they are too short to operate b1 stuff is kinda cute
BXs are shorter than I expected
@@oomseriessecuritydroid7912 "Ain't you a little short for a droid trooper?"
@@UNSCPILOT a original trilogy quote? “A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one”
@@justamemer9903 “hello there”
it’s funny cause they are 6’3 💀💀
Imagine having these droids as your bodyguards.
Ask Darth Vader with his mini army
that would be very epic
Yea like IRL they would be unstoppable
Would love it
I'm between them and Magnas, those would probably be better guards but the commandos look better and would be more versatile
Dear god... I knew these things were intelligent and superior to most droids, but these traits, extreme battle tactics, expert use of nearly all weapons usable, imposing fear!? These things... Are pure and utter malice!
Which makes them near perfect soldiers for an army.... and thats terrifying to imagine going up against
Yup, i will use them as Main infantry unit if i want to create my own Star War army. I favor Quality over Quantity, and they are cheaper & easier to produce than a Clone trooper ( well, i would like Clone Officer or ARC trooper to lead them )
Yep, Damn right they are@sYnC !! But still a single "Clone Trooper" still cost more than a B-X Commando Droid.
I mean it could take Hours to build, programming & testing that Droid, while a Clone Trooper need to feed, learn & train for 9 year to Combat ready ( + the Armor, Weapon & Equipment for both ), year a Clone Trooper cost Alot !! D:
sYnC they are worth it though
Daniel Early not if the regular clone trooper is weaker than a B-X
I would imagine one reason they’re more common than magnaguards is that lower ranking separatists are more likely to be attacked with blasters, whereas Dooku and Greivous needed protection against Jedi lightsabers.
Commandos and droideka’s and bam a near unstoppable army!
Jack Theflash imagine they could use the droidekas as shields
Yes. I don't know why anyone would even waste resources on the standard battle droid to begin with. Even with sheer numbers I feel like they were probably a waste of money and resources.
I would add annihilators as the tank, because if your tank can't rip through dozens of AT-TEs and the support clones what is the point. The CIS never lost a battle in which the Annihilators took part, and if one showed up the previous objective of the entire army no longer mattered, new orders were to take out the Annihilator even at the cost of losing the whole army. The only problem is that only about a hundred were made.
@@adrastos8401
You mean the Scorpenek Annihilator Droids?
@@ksanbahlyngwa1998 yep
Commando Droids were some of the best things about The Clone Wars.
Edit: I was not expecting this many likes.
Why thank you 👏👏👏
That's the point sergeant
Yeet
Who cares, I hate people like you editing and thanking for likes, just leave it alone.
starzandearth calm down why do u care. It’s none of your comment so u don’t need to get involved with how that person expresses gratitude
I love the commando droids!
Me to
At yo I think we have the same saber from saber forge, the Erie with a green blade right?
I'm surprised they aren't really used after the clone wars, they are extremely capable combat units and perfect for a defense force. Plus there mass-producible, while expensive, they still cost less than a normal soldier, much fewer clones or storm troopers (They are actually elite shock infintary, it's just that films/shows like bullying them). You could probably get one for every 2 normal soldier, and 2 for every clone.
@@devindeocharan8323 I think it's more that the Empire was still trying to keep the reputation of Peacekeepers across the galaxy, and having droids like the Commandos in their force would shatter that vision they wanted the galaxy to see.
So do I
Couple these up with Magnaguards and some droideka, then you have a frightening team.
The BX-Series Commando Droid is easily my favorite droid type in all of Star Wars. I honestly think if the CIS focused more on making them instead of B1 and B2 battle droids then they would have more victories in the war but with Palpatine's planning he probably wouldn't want that.
BX-Series Commandos were also very expensive. B1 Droids were the cheapest Battle Droids that money could buy, and their primary tactic was to zerg rush.
But remember the whole war was rigged from the start
@@matthewyoung9828 If it wasn't the CIS would have won within a few months. Send most of their free forces to Corusant and the Republics defenses would be overwhelmed.
@@GlorifiedShed mabey not sure
Imagine making an army of IG-88's or HK-50's !? That's not war, that's a slaughter 😳
I remember when I was a little kid and first watched the clone wars. the commando droids terrified me. I was so used to the simple robotic movements of the b-1 that the agility the C-droids had was scary.
For droids with what felt like so little screen time, they made a huge impression. They’re definitely the biggest badasses of the Clone Wars.
By the way, the detailed breakdown of Echo’s MIA scene really made me appreciate how much better they are than both every other droid in the CIS and the vast majority of organic soldiers. Only an ARC trooper or clone commando could ever hope to match that kind of mobility, quick thinking, and marksmanship.
That's probably why they made such a huge impression, their relative rarity. Remember the phrase "Familiarity breeds contempt"?
Being rarer than the other battle droids also allowed them to be consistently badass while still letting the heroes win most of the battles. Whereas even droidekas felt like a diminished threat since they were defeated often enough.
Apologies for the necro, but regular clones are on par with or surpass the abilities of a commando droid. Just because they’re called commando droids doesn’t mean they’re on the level of a clone commando. It is constantly iterated that clones are the best fighting force that has existed since the old republic (possibly better) so each one is an elite unit. Every time we see commandos killing clones, they usually outnumber them and often times do not win the engagement anyway. But they are badass so of course we always focus on the wins, and I do like them more than clones
When you think about it, Mr Bones programming modification just took him from a B1 to a BX...
Imagine Bxs with Bones' upgrades
The idea of this droid came when the CIS watched "The Terminator"
That's general grievous basically
Holy shit haha
@@ialsohavetowait90daystocha70 No, Grievous is the CIS version of Robocop
@@weldonwin oof
@@ialsohavetowait90daystocha70 If there is a Star Wars version of the Terminator, at least in Legends, it would be Guri, Prince Xizor's right hand being and personal assassin. She was a Human Replica droid, a metal skeleton with synthetic organs and flesh, making her incredibly fast and strong, with blinding reflexes, while still being able to pass for human... Also, she was hot... like really really hot
Clankers are taller than b2? I thought super battle droids were huge
They are, however clankers are tall and lankey
Maximo Salej If you play Star Wars battlefront 2 and use the b2 then compare the height with the battle droids, they’re almost the same height.
You might be thinking of the b3 ultra battle droid those things were b2’s on steroids and with cortosis armor, they gave even Jedi like Mace trouble.
Because the B-2 had bigger upper-body, bigger arms (& deeper voices) so it's easy to think the Super Battle Droid are lager than those "skinny" clankers. It was how our brain work after all.
Jonathan Pawlus False. There were two B3 designs. One’s the ultra, and there’s the cB3 which was almost just a B2 with cortosis armor.
U forgot one thing: they don't share pity about killing their own, as Osi Sobeck ordered the execution of its autonomous subordinate for saying 'escaped' without hesitation.
I think this more them just not being able to question orders
From a storytelling standpoint, the commando droids were an amazing way of giving the clones a match in combat to build tension and make the show exciting. B1 droids tend to just be target practice for the clones, only prevailing over them in extreme circumstances or with enormous numerical superiority. B2 droids are more of a threat, but are still not very intelligent and rely mostly on numbers to win. Commando droids were the perfect evil opponent for the clones.
I don't mean to spoil the last season of Clone Wars but IIRC Echo survived that.
Ah yes that was an amazing and dark arc, definitely recommend that for anybody reading this. And don't worry it isn't to big of a spoiler, seeing how and what he survived is worth watching.
I was just thinking that lol
I wonder if they’re gonna put him finding out that fives died in an episode
@@lortningmcquorn843 will see soon if they still make the last few seasons if they do re start the show.
@@threefistbanddrummer4185 honesty I think not remember Disney is not doing this for the fans but money Lucas did it from the heart they will make it people will love it but honesty
No wrist rocket? Not good enough.

Anyone else wonder how they fit their hands into clone gloves? Just me? Okay then
Someone gotta pack some lobster gloves to do those type of missions.
ME TOOOO!!!
Never thought of it before, but yeah. Good question.
Late to reply, but I’d assume the 2 big digits can split into 4 smaller ones, and the “thumb” can fold from being flat and wide to a more thumb-like shape. Default of the 3 fingered hand configuration probably for ease of use with Standard droid/CIS tech.
or maybe they just don't wear the gloves...
You can actually see them lower their weapons when they corner the clone, going from the head to the body. Droids using fear tactics is brilliant, though possibly a bit wasteful.
Why? Ammuntion is cheap.
@@MouldMadeMind especially for the super rich corporations that produce the droids
Thats like worrying about wasting .223 when you got 30mm cannons flying in the sky at 3k rpm. Oh wait, us military does that and gets pissed at infantry for firing a few fun rounds as they love A-10 bursts. When in reality both are great lol
@@ML-sc3pt but commando droids don't waste them.
@@MouldMadeMind I mean unnecessary shots into someone could be considered waste. Inefficiency at least
Who else can't wait to play as these guys in Battlefront II?
Invading capital ships with these Bx bois would be awesome
Especially with some *Pizza time*
@Beau Rohrich soon™
I feel like they should jump a bit higher but they are pretty epic
BX droids are the best unit in the game ngl
7:20 about fear is an amazing point you referenced. It shows a level of cognitive tactical understanding that goes beyond combat or weapons programs. This is an incredible level of adaptability and foresight by one of the most lethal droids in the universe.
I always thought the three commando droids executing the clone was a pulp fiction reference
It’s this attention to detail that makes Metanerdz Lore such a delight.
I'm thinking the cruelty is nothing more then logical adaptation of tactics against mortals
I would say it could be one of the two or both, largely dependant of the BX's circumstances. There could be those who concluded cruelty was an effective tactic to fight against organics through observation, and those who developed that fondness as a result of long operation without memory wipe
Or they have programmed hate.
"The commando that killed echo"
Echo: my death was greatly overexaggerated sir.
This video was excellent. The music, pacing, visuals, and overall the feel was done exquisitely.
Thanks that is an amazing compliment, this style takes a long time so it's great to hear people like it
I'm convinced liscening fees are the only reason we didn't see much more of these guys.
That's essentially the in universe explanation lol
Yeah, the BX droids are hella expensive, more so than a B1 as a side effect of having impressive specs. Because of that price, their production was limited and only used when absolutely necessary
TechnoKnight could some go rogue to? We saw some in the service of cad bane in the senate hostage episodes.
@@punctuationman334 well, we have seen Cad Bane taking a contract with the CIS, so those Commando Droids were given to him to either get his services in return or Dooku wanted the Hutt to be free too
TechnoKnight dooku didn’t care about Ziro at this point, Cad was merely hired by the hutts to retrieve Ziro for punishment by the hutt council. It’s possible that these commandos were bought by cad bane specifically for this mission or the hutts got in contact with droid manufactures to purchase commando units to assist cad in his mission. I guess they could have gone the way of many IG assassin droids where they gain independence and take up a career of bounty hunting to. Lots of possible explanations for there appearance in the hostage crisis.
Actually the best overall droid are the pleasure models
Damn straight.
But the closest thing to that in Star Wars that I can think of is just the luxary droids.
The bx commando specializes with that too
*fallout new Vegas flashbacks*
Mad respect for these droids now having a more indepth understanding of them
I think the B-X at first used fear as a military tactic and psychology warfare but as time goes on and they develop personalities, with the strain of the war they gradually become more genuinely sadistic in their actions.
In the Republic at War mod for EaW, I manufacture no other infantry basically! these guys are the best!
1234kalmar same and since they’re stealth you could have a whole army ready in space and do a commando raid and call in dozens of commando droids xD
The most OP thing about them in RAW is that they can stealth and use grenades without unstealthing
“The one that killed Echo”
“Hmm, it seems the archives are incomplete”
Darth Vader used improved version of these droids in the comic series as his personal army. I would like to have several of them for myself
Your kind praise has revived this unit to its amazing back flipping state. I thank you.
How about a video about various Corellian ships in the planet's Navy i.e. Destroyers Cruisers and Battlecruisers.
Hey MetaNerd, keep up with the great work you do and especially the amazing videos you do. Remember the CIS can be overwhelming, and may the force be with you always.
This shows all the reason why the BX is my favorite droid of all time...
You put so much thought and research into this video! It's so good
How much did a *BX cost compared to a standard B1?*
So how many could the CIS get if they _switched over production_ and made the BX the standard model…
It's a bit like the Tie Defender argument, yes it's four times the cost of a standard Tie, but it's definitely more effective than four standard Ties and will pay for itself after its first engagement - which it has a lot better chance of winning.
It could be that the BX was for fine tuning the *stalemate of the Clone Wars,* which Dooku was to ensure remained evenly matched to further Palpatine's plans. If the GAR pulled ahead, use more BX's, if the CIS looked like it was going to win, cut back production a bit. It also helped that the BX was reasonably effective against Jedi as it was a special forces counter, and killing Jedi was a side goal of the war to make the final purge of Order 66 easier.
So? How many BX's could the CIS field if it was the standard droid? Or at least how many could they pump out per month if they went all in for it? Armchair Sith generals need to know…
@Aditya Shivam Parashar Thanks, being trying to find the number, still 200 BX's are a lot more scary and effective than 1000 B1's, especially if it's a confined space instead of open field slugging match (which would be better suited to droidekas and maybe B2's) for which you'd use vehicles (and droid brain vehicles) anyway.
And as crew for vehicles, ships and heavy weapons ect they would more than pay for the extra lethality of the expensive system.
Having the CIS use BX's instead of B1's would result in them steamrolling the GAR in a few months tops, and they would still have a numbers advantage anyway.
But the BX is far more than 5 times as effective.
@Aditya Shivam Parashar yeah like that other guy said 1/5th is pretty okay given the vast number of droids they had. They'd probably still outnumber the clones.
My estimate is that they’re worth 8 B1s.
@@krustykrabemployeepatricks3709 wow, I thought they cost more. As things were in TCW the seps outnumbered the clones 100 to 1, so if they had the BX series as the main droid, they would also still have a numbers advantage
Given that the rather unimpressive blaster B1 droids carry cost more than the droid itself, I'm guessing the answer is "a lot more expensive". The B1 was ludicrously cheap, far more so than most civilian utility droids.
When you're playing tag and the person who is tagged starts running at you, but your friend is right next to you too: 6:30
i like how the commando droids are so dam smart, that they get down and shoot up so they don't hit other droids
Great droid, some pretty neat editing in this. You did forgot about it's Magnetized Legs though. They use it during the citadel escape arc. Magnets on the roof disarm all the clones & Jedi. Then magnetized commandos walk in unaffected. Holding their ground even when force pushed.
yeah that was on the list of details, got the clip, but then it was getting long and I couldn't remember if they were just stuck because of the other device, then got distracted and forgot I was gonna double check lol
Fair Enough.
Those bois had me scared in Clone Wars
they say droids cant think creatively but BX commando droids are an exception can witch is impressive
honestly, the b2 HA is really tall there like a 1/3 taller than a republic commando
Yeah B2s are huge. But thankful with enough EMP Grenade even a super is going down. It would be an interesting fight between Republic Commando and BX Commando droids.
The BX commando droid is my personal favorite it’s just so adaptable to any scenario and extremely dangerous with a variety of weapons
Keep up the great work you do. And it's well detailed!
What a great video. Absolutely loved every second so much to learn
Thanks that's such an awesome compliment
MetaNerdz Lore a god noticed me
Great video this is the best droid and that they were stilll used years after the clone wars.
This video is super detailed. I did not expect for this information overload. You just got another subscriber
Same, amazing quality 👍🏼
Arguably some of the most badass droids in Star Wars.
Edit: Guys I know Echo didn't die. I knew about the unfinished clone wars episodes that showed him coming back. I've shown clips of them in older vids on this channel. The same way I will tell a characters story from their point of view, jedi are bad for example, why spoil Echo being alive in a vid on a droid? That's why I said it like that people. It wasn't some super rare esoteric knowledge, most of the people watching vids like this know already but just in case why spoil that. But the top comments mention it already and with Bad Batch I'm not worried about a spoiler now.

I really appreciate you slowing down the clip of the commando Droid yeeting a B1.
Great video about my favorite droids! My second favorite are vulture droids, I love their design and how they switch from walking to flying and can choose either to be a tank or a fighter. Also how they kamikaze into enemy ships and vehicles when they don't want them to escape or when they have been hit and are falling. Also their droid voice (talking in an uncomprehensible language) and the sound they make while flying.
They’re a real force to be reckoned with in battlefront 2
I was chasing one with a team mate. The commando disappeared around the corner and jumped over him. He killed me in 2 sword strikes and my team mate didn't even know.
I’ve always wondered what was special about those magnagaurds with the yellow markings and yellow electro staffs, do you think you could look into that?
Late reply but
I remember that Magnaguards are trained personally by their Leader, so the Yellow Staff ones are simply Dooku's, hence different fighting style and tougher in combat. I could be wrong though
Without a doubt your best video yet. I adore the BX series. Also thought you might think it's cool that I recently met Timothy Zahn and got him to sign my black series Thrawn figure(still in box)
Wow thanks that's a great compliment and very cool you got to have that signed
Yess love when you cover CIS stuff! Also love the Commando Droids cant wait to use them in Battlefront 2😈
I thought Chuck Wendigs writing style was a bit weird for Starwars, however, Mr. Bones is probably my second favorite droid after HK-47. Its probably my favorite character from aftermath
He's even more deadly know that he has a BX body (that I don't doubt will be modified like his original B1 body)
I noticed you didn't mention their torsos were magnetized. There were multiple times where a clone shot a BX and just about killed it, but then, it restabelized its torso with the magnets built into the slimmer part of their chest.
4:08 a tactical droid carrying a blaster I've never noticed that before
this reminds me of a droid I made, the Z1, AKA Eradicator Droid. It was a mix of a Magna guard and a Commando droid, and was made of stolen Zillo beast armor. It also had a Bo-Rifle and rapid fire r-45 blaster.
I believe strongly that the fear tactic was programmed into the BX as a way to win fights morally which allows them to quickly end small skirmishes between Clones and Rebels. The reason I think this is because of almost everything about them apart from the voice, although the droids can change voices, is menacing looking. Their movement, body design, and certain methods used. It's like you said, they easily could've killed that Clone but chose to blast him to a whole new world, this was probably one of the methods adopted into programming "Find the highest ranked person, and brutally kill in front of the rest" Maybe not said or programmed that way but thats basically the jist of it. Just my theory
Imagine a team of 4 republic reprogrammed, upgraded commando droids and 4 commando clones.
Next to R4's, they are my favorite droids. Looking forward to playing one in a tabletop RPG someday. I should of picked up the Clone Wars Campaign book when I had the chance.
(After the Clone Wars) If I came across a downed CIS ship with intact droids inside I would focus on getting those Commando droids reprogrammed and restored for my own uses. I can see a commando droid eliminating an entire squad of stormtroopers.
They could also be good scrappers due to their agility and skill
Thanks for including the Sources!
Definitely would want these in my army
Commando droids had such an awesome introduction being put up against Rex and Cody
Another super badass droid in the CIS that serves quite well. Imagine someone having these guys as Security and making a circle and Magnaguards as at his or her side at all times.
Great video!! Still would like to know how they turned 3 fingers in to 5?? Like the one Rex shot on the moon outpost!! 👍☯️👍
the fingers can probably split in a manner similar to Grievous's arms
Looks like something straight outta Half-Life 2. Love it
One of my favorite droids. Just edged out of the top spot by droidekas. Gotta love those Colecoid Creation Nest products! I knew they were cool, but I never noticed the "cruelty" aspect of them. I'm psyched to feature them in a "Great Droid Rebellion" game I'm running for some friends.
Love the channel keep up the good work as always And one more thing you should do a lore video on the jedi
Cruelty in war is a weapon as well, it can be a very effective one.
I would make this the standard foot soldier along with the B1 and 2 droid's in my droid part army
along with some clone's and variation trooper's, and it's the perfect army
i was waiting for this
Honestly these guys are some of my favourites to play as in battlefront 2
7:20 Statement: I got that reference
