      legends of old speak of a box shaped machine that arrived at a bloody battlefield in the great sith war. The machine made a sound "gonk" and vaporized the entire sith army, and then left never too be seen again. The modern gonk droids are designed to put fear into the hearts of their enemies, due to the power of the one they call lord gonk.

      @@battlesheep2552 there were a lot of HK droids, hk-47 was unique, yes, but he was based on a previous series that was scrapped because it didn't sell well. Then afterwards revan designed an entire series of HK droids, the HK-50 series, based on hk-47. These were used by the sith empire, and various iterations continued to be produced and used even up into the clone wars by the CIS. Fun fact, the original HK, HK-01, actually instigated the Drone Rebellion during old republic times.

      The swarm strategy sounds great on paper, but in Star Wars, it has proven to not work so well for the CIS. The B1s were very cheap and were used to swarm, but more often than not, the much more expensive and much lower number Clone Troopers were able to outperform them in every way. You can have 10 Dark Troopers take on a pair of Jedi and expect them to have a good chance at killing the Jedi. But send in a thousand B1s against the same pair of Jedi, and honestly they just become scrap metal.
      Plus, you have less versatility with the swarm option. There are situations where you just can't fit that many cheap droids onto the battlefield, and so you'd be better off having fewer high quality droids. You don't want a bunch of incompetent droids as bodyguards, for example.

Jedi are highly resourceful, and unless the battle is out in a totally open clearing, the B1s can't shoot all at once. The Jedi can use the environment to their advantage, push the B1s into a choke point where their numbers can be controlled, etc. Heck, Master Yoda and some injured clones in literally the first episode of Clone Wars were able to take out an obscene number of B1s (who had tanks as well) without losing a single clone. Sure, Yoda's a master, but he also seemed like he wasn't even trying hard at all to accomplish this. Like that whole mission was just him giving the clones a teaching moment.
      And in another early episode of the Clone Wars, a couple of rookie clones, Rex, and Cody were able to hold out against a large number of droids as well, including Commandos. Even Padme with no combat experience whatsoever can be seen taking down some B1s in Ep2. R2D2, a freaking astromech droid, even takes out some B2s, because they're just that incompetent.

The degree of countermeasures you would need just to be able to target them would be intense. Laser-flashing rapid-spun ... you couldn't lock on them without welding goggles, the sound would deafen every organic, with a range of low frequency sounds that can be very disruptive to pulsed in waves at 160+ dB it would be no joke!
