Why the Chadly B1 Battle Droids were Actually Extremely UNDERRATED 

**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.

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

Thank you everyone :)

palpatine sold himself

@@baconbaron1776 the Jedi was the ingame ai heroes getting tired of it

@@uglyjihad I mean, he was playing the Jedi, too, so... Still just one big game where he plays all the parts lol

Darth Morshu

Well, a very lite version of Warhammer 40k.

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.

jedi are no match for droidekas

@@matthiuskoenig3378 hay in the lego games they could resist force pushing

@OHGAS B2s got tossed around in the clone wars lmao

@@Optimusprime56241 that is a lot of different versions of B2.

@@Optimusprime56241 only due to the jedi, we are shown they annialate clones when the jedi are not around, even B1s are shown to be a tough time for clones sometimes (like on chrystosis)

YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.

They are underrated, but that doesn't make Clones any less awesome

It's treason then! :)

@@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.

Droid General Stalingrad

As Stalin said "Quantity is a quality in itself" The Trade Federation knows this and uses it to its advantage

Are you implying that the B1s were of inferior quality?

@@geetslys If compared to a BX or Droideka yes, 1vs1 against the clones and jedi yes, but it is not just a good soldier who wins the war, but millions, well cooderned and supplied and armed that wins war; not mystics and their laser swords

@@giovannirodriguesdasilva646 I could not have said it better myself. Which Ironically that motto is pretty much how the Soviets won their part of WW2. They just threw troops at the Germans until they broke.

Well, they do have to recharge.

@@geetslys still better than needing expensive food or stuff

Don't need no atmosphere, don't feel no cold~ Don't need nothing but my power port, here in this airless hold!

@@DonaldWWitt that sounds like a space shanty, I love it

Imagine having arc trooper when you can have a commando droid

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.

"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?“

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

You play SimAnt as a kid too?

Exactly.

I guess incinerator Droid we’re fire ants then. In a literal sense, obviously.

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

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 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

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. -Hunger -Lack of Sleep -Low Morale -Injures and Deseases -Exhastuation -Stress -Intimidation And last but not least -Psycological warfare

Basically china

Call of duty zombies

@@Gabethemaster-ec3tbtheir military is not that big lol

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.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

Plus 500 for the blaster

Giovanni Rodrigues da Silva Yeah but for the clone their blasters are like 2,000 and need food, armor and training.

@@toby1061 Plus they have to pay for the clones themselves, right? And I'm guessing they aren't particularly cheap.

@@toby1061 And clones take close to ten years to be battle ready... Unless you was to field an army of children. Since the Clone Wars lasted only three years, the only clones the Republic had were the million that they had at the end of Episode 2. The Confederacy could roll out a million droids in a day or so.

@@bluethunderbolt9631 when you have an army of tens of billions (the galaxy is a huge place), simple logistics as transporting food or medical equipment suddenly becomes a daily nightmare for logistics. Not to mention that army needs 10 years to grow

​@@Jaerek they're still intended to be comedic relief.

@@merafirewing6591 That reply is a year old lol but nah the TCW comic relief they do is way too on-the-nose compared to the movies, to the point where it takes away from the scene every time. The "intention" doesn't matter when the execution is like it's penned by a toddler

@@sarmeister1699 a Super tactical

Who says they lack training? I train them very well.

I mean, clone troopers are pretty damn tough though.

@@sarmeister1699 That was a Jedi, his apprentice and a clone dude, not soldiers in a typical sense lol

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

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).

Did we watch the same clone wars

@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 It is stated by Tarkin "are you sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship?" and "I'm taking an awful risk ,Lord Vader. This had better work!" If that is not clear that they were LET GO, i don't know what Would be...

ediable battle droids

fake news, in the clone wars movie a clone tried to knotch a B1 down, not only does he fail to knock it to the floor, but the B1 is not phased and simply blasts him.

Say, Cheng, you ever encountered a bloody sudden droid reactivation scenario akin to the Battle of Cartao (and some deleted scenes from Attack of the Clones)? If so, were they a traumatizing experience or just an additional challenge?

If Sidious wasn't pulling the strings, there wouldn't have been a war.

Aye, they feel like they are the droid equivalent of conscripts.

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.

Wait, which ones are the ants and which are the termites.

@@geetslys Droids might be ants as they are stronger as a group

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.
