    I'll always remember how in Attack of the Clones, we see a B2 in the arena just slap aside a damaged B1 in front of it to get a better shot.
    That alone should show just how lethal and effective these machines were compared to their spindly predecessors.

    • @matthiuskoenig3378
      @matthiuskoenig3378 4 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      considering the spinfly predessors where shown in episode 1 and the clone wars to be stronger then humans and gun guns in a physical fight and in episode 1 out fight polt armoured main characters, we can say the B2 was super good.

    • @yagdtigercommander
      @yagdtigercommander 4 ปีที่แล้ว +62

      And lack of empathy for the comrades in arms.If I were a B1 and saw that I might have to be rebooted lol. If that's what B2s do to their Allies than I would hate to be the enemy lol. I mean the clone wars is funny and yes making the B2s more comedic to does add a different take to the clone wars and that is more of kids show. But new fans need to realize that is not how they are realistically in cannon. As Republic Commando Veteran to I know the true horror of fighting these things. Even Clone Commando's had a challenging time with these bad boys. I am surprised the CIS didn't make any Super Battle Droid Commander classes.Well I think I know why as any B1 one that would question its authority would be an instant pile of scrap lol. XD

    • @truekiropfan8329
      @truekiropfan8329 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Jason Alcatraz Yeah. But R2-D2 cleverly incinerating some in Revenge Of The Sith clearly shows how deadly and effective he can be when needed. That droid is a challenge for nearly any enemy. Even in Duel of the Droids, the Clone Wars Episode, where he duels a vicious Separatist spy Astromech, R2-D2 does get the upper hand eventually and leaves the Separatist spy Astromech to die.
      But speaking again of the B2 Super Battle Droid, I would say it definitely has raw strength on par with, say, Magnaguards,(those things are ridiculously beefy), but in terms of overall close combat ability they still lag behind the crazy overpowered(most of the time) BX series Commando Droid.

      That's because Mace Windu was using force crush within his punches which is a dark side force power that was his specialty. Usually any Jedi with a purple lightsaber will dabble in a dark side force power but it takes a lot mental/martial discipline to not let it corrupt you on use.

    Finally, B-2s getting the credit they deserve. Magnaguards, commando droids and droidekas were all extremely powerful and effective, but i think the primary thing that makes B-2s so much scarier was that they were, unlike all the other terrifiying droids, extremely common on the battlefield.

      Actually I think the first order stormtroopers are superior because they were trained from birth or at least from a really young age. They also have more modern armor and tecnology, in my opinion the first order and their stormtroopers weren't portrayed properly and that's why they have a poor reputation. Still not as good as *the Super Sayan Ultra-Giga-Chad Super Battle Droids*

      @@LAV-III Clone troopers still outdo First order troopers since they were engineered for war and properly trained from birth (the First Order stormtroopers were largely orphans, so they didn't fully spend their lives as soldiers). Clones were vulnerable to bioweapons and could have been good targets for psychological weapons since they all shared the same biology, but these were fairly niche occurrences. Now if the confederacy had just stuffed brains comparable to humans inside of b1 shells, then we would have had the true ultimate final ultra meta giga super saiyan god super saiyan giga chad soldiers, since b1's can actually be very agile and strong with a modified brain as shown in certain canon novels and comics.

    when i was growing up, i lived in a pretty religious household. we had this older lady in her late 70's named "Ruby" that went to our church. Out of respect for everyone in our congregation, we always referred to each other as "brother" or "sister". she had a severe neck and back problem when essentially made her look like the hunchback of notre dame. When I got SWBF2 in elementary school, since the B2's head was hunched over on the front of their body, it automatically reminded me of Ruby. Its a dark joke, but one I always chuckled at. Ever since then, the B2 battle droids are known as "sister ruby".

    “The Super Battle Droid were the barbarians of the Droid army. If you’re a good shot, and quick enough, you can hit them in the brain or eye, and they would be done. Yes, they had tough armor and strong weapons, but there’s a trick to them. There’s a trick to everything, I think. Oh, and if you’re using the DC rifle on a higher power setting, you can expect to kill one with one decently-placed shot.” -ARF/CT-8711-12, Captain and Scout of the 442nd Siege Battalion

      The whole point is that even when there wasn’t any active droids yet, I was taking sniper rifle shots in the back. And even before that, when I assigned them to sniper posts to cover me, the first thing they shot at was the dispenser. Regardless of whether I am in the way or not. Unlike the AI squadmates, I’m not frigging blind, so I could see both incidents with my own eyes. And friendly fire happens because surprise-surprise, the charge attachment spot is exactly the one where the AI aims with this thing when there are no actual droids to shoot. Lastly, it doesn’t even have to be me planting the charge, the bots are more than happy to shoot each other as well.

    The Clone Wars movie show us a bit how scary the B2 droids could be, one litteraly grab one clone by the arm like if it was a toy, shoot it point blank and threw it like a toy, that was intimidating, also in the last season of TCW series, the Red jumper variant was really scary, and in that episode when the CIS rescued Gunray, oof , I remember saw all of those clones get destroyed by those super droids, that was scary, specially the part of the rocket launcher

    In Republic Commando the ultimate SBD Defeat tactic is to mark them to be destroyed by your squadmates and then circle around them with your knife, they will fall very quickly. or if you want you can throw two Droid Poppers at them.

    The "watch those wrist rockets" line gave me a wave of nostalgia. Thanks for that!

    Does anyone remember the level in Republic commando’s where you fight a lot of B2’s and when you enter the room Boss says: Alone against all these droids.... Hmph... they don’t stand a chance.

    The worst thing the B2 Droids did was kicking R2-D2; I'll never forgive them.
