Super Battle Droid-Grappler (SBD-G)

These droids lacked arm-mounted blasters, being equipped with pincers instead. Their signature feature was the ability to execute a "bear hug" maneuver.

Note: "One article suggested that SBD-Gs could occasionally serve as military police within the droid army; while that might be a bit of a stretch, I personally like the idea of droids having their own military police force."

Experimental Super Battle Droids (B-2A and B-2B)

The droids' chassis were reinforced with additional armor. Unlike standard models, they were equipped with more powerful arm-mounted blasters.

The way he looks at Obi-Wan, and his little groan, it's like he's saying "what the hell, man?"

A droid even Jedi feared. Epic Design, good weapons and cool sound effects.

Special mention: "Pit droids"

I should sleep, but the separatist alliance needs me...

Context: ZAMination yesterday (18th) showed teaser for their new original show "Calling All Villains". Let's just say that the character of Lord General is really giving vibes of our well known cyborg.

It just kind of seems needlessly cruel

Open the gate! In the name of the Droid Army! Liberating Naboo

Super Battle Droid-Mounted Trooper (SBD-MT)

These cavalry units used orrays—reptilian creatures native to the planet Geonosis. The droids lacked arm-mounted blasters; instead, they were equipped with powerful flamethrowers.

Super Battle Droid - Anti-Air Trooper (SBD-AA)

These droids lacked arms; instead, they were equipped with one or two anti-aircraft missile launchers mounted on their shoulders. These super battle droids featured copper-colored armor.

Super Battle Droid Grenade-Trooper (SBD-GT)

These droids were equipped with mortars and thermal detonators. Unlike the standard B2 super battle droid, they possessed an enlarged rear torso.

Super Battle Droid - Repeater Trooper (SBD-RT)

These droids were armed with a multi-shot blaster. When not engaged in combat, they slung their weapons across their backs.

Super Battle Scout Droid (SBD-S)

Scout droids utilized a modified version of the "Fleetknot" speeder bike—created specifically for them—for reconnaissance purposes.

Note: Since there is insufficient information regarding the repeater trooper and the scout, it is suggested to assume that the droids’ manual dexterity had been improved.

What are light-, medium-, and heavy-class capital ships from the Confederacy of Independent Systems Navy whose existence and names are known but that were cruelly neglected and underused by the various Clone Wars authors despite their cool and/or interesting and promising designs and characteristics in combat?

The light and medium-class ships such as the Gozanti-class cruiser, Diamond-class cruiser (especially given how fast and reliable a ship and transport it was, and with Empire at War having made it a scary anti-starfighter ship, ideal to decimate Republic starfighters), Lupus-class missile frigate with its missiles which would have made it great against starfighters and to support bigger CIS ships against Republic large ships, Munifex-class light cruiser (with its heavy armament of 28 turbolasers and 12 ion cannons for a three-hundred-meter size), the Sabaoth ships (with the frigate having an especially strong tractor beam) with their designs, the Wavecrest-class frigate manufactured and used by the Givins (Givins are described as amazing ship engineers, barring their pressurisation issues and lack of astro-computers due to Givin biology, and I would have wanted to see far more of their ships, with this obscure frigate being their only known product).

For the heavier class ships, there is, of course, the hammer and anvil at once of the Confederate Navy that is the Bulwark-class cruiser and its younger brother, the Bulwark II, with their heavy weaponry and very tough armor and shielding. And I would have liked to see the Fantail-class destroyer of the Corporate Alliance in the EU or Disney Canon, for once. I liked that in Empire at War mode, the ship is presented as having one or several strong ion cannons, which let it wear down Republic ships' shielding and support fellow Confederate ships.

We have:
The Trade Federation
The IGBC
The Geonosians
The Techno Union
The Commerce Guild
The Corporate Alliance
The HCC
The Quarren (QIL/QL)
And Rogwa Wodrata (Whatever she represents)

Its like three in the morning and i just had a thought, wouldn’t it be pretty scary if vulture droids had hands. They could just swoop down and snatch you from the sky in swarms, and i don’t think they would take that much more effort to produce.

I did like 3 other mockups in around 10 minutes because i was bored. Super battle droid playing scary noises. Suicide bomber droid. Replace all droid eyes with red scary lights.

I want to hear more ideas about how to make them more terrifying. Please give them.

What would you be if you were in the CIS? I'm going for the Officer Corps

This render was originally meant to showcase the VRChat avatar I made with these, and I completely forgot to show them here earlier lol. But I'm pretty happy with how they turned out! I also tried to make each design unique and personalized.

The lack of CIS merch was bugging me off so I had to take matters into my own hands and made a t shirt with grievous in it!😤

freehanded it with acrylic paint with bits of cybersigilism as the background!

[Naboo: Theed]

C3PO: General Grievous. I know this sounds silly, but can I shake your hand? Oh, thank you, General. I can't tell you what an honour it is to work with you on this project. I never imagined I'd be meeting the man who led the Droid Army!"
R2D2: "Threepio!"
General Grievous: "Must your people keep doing this?"
Commander OOM-9: "It's just a little hero worship, General. To tell you the truth I can't say I blame them. We all grew up hearing about what you did."
R2D2: "You know? I wish I had a picture of this."
General Grievous: "Why?"
R2D2: "Oh well, you see, in the future this whole area becomes an historical monument. In fact, you're standing almost on the exact spot where your statue's gonna be."
General Grievous: "Statue!?"
C3PO: "Yes! It's marble, about twenty metres tall and you're looking up at the sky. Your hand sort of reaching toward the future."

General Grievous: "So, what is it you want me to do?"
R2D2: "Simple. Capture Naboo and conduct your hyperdrive flight in one hour just as you planned."

Commander OOM-9: "It is one of the pivotal moments in galactic history, General. You get to liberate Naboo, expose Palpatine's treachery and after you do, everything begins to change."
C3PO: "Your theories with the Droid Army allow fleets of starships to be built and droid-kind to start exploring the Galaxy."
R2D2: "It unites Droids across the cosmos in a way no one ever thought possible when they realise they're not alone in the universe. Poverty, disease, war. They'll all be gone within the next fifty years."
Commander OOM-9: "But unless you make that hyperdrive flight with the Invisible Hand tomorrow morning before eleven fifteen, none of it will happen."

C3PO: "And you know, General..."
General Grievous: "Please ...don't tell me it's all thanks to me. I've heard enough about this great Grievous. I don't know who writes your history holo recordings or where you get your information from, but you people have got some pretty funny ideas about me. You all look at me as if I'm some kind of deity or visionary or something."
Commander OOM-9: "I don't think you're a deity, General, but you did have a vision. And now we're standing on it."
General Grievous: "You wanna know what my vision is? Gold credits! Money! No matter what I did to take us one step forward, these committees take us three steps back. I have seen Droids put their lives on the line countless times in the name of freedom and for what? These Senators with their endless debates have led us to ruin. I didn't build this new Droid Army to usher in a new era for citizens. You think I wanna go to the stars? I don't even like to fly!! I take trains on my homeworld! I built this capital ship so that I could retire to some tropical island on Scariff... filled with blue Twilek women. That's Grievous. That's his vision. This other guy you keep talking about... This historical figure. I never met him. I can't imagine I ever will."
Commander OOM-9: "Someone once said... Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make it's own judgements."
General Grievous: "Impressive, but rhetorical nonsense... Who said that?"
Commander OOM-9: "You did. Ten years from now as Galactic Head of State. You've got fifty-eight minutes, General. You better get on with that checklist and capturing those Command posts."

A little doodle by me of Supreme Commander Sev'rance Tann. Wanted to try out an idea for a potential alternative design for her that's a bit different yet something that still works with my previous ones ✨

Thanks u/Taiga_Novah_Wren for the idea! :D

To add on, you can use any Separatist droid, hire bounty hunters, and basically use any dirty trick you want to kill the Muunilinst 10. You're only criteria is that there are no survivors from that squad. No Durge, General Grievous, or any Dark Jedi like Asajj Ventress, just to stop your force from becoming too OP.

To put it simply, there are two types of Vulture (and, by proxy, hyena bomber) droids.

There are Vulture droids created by the Haor Chall Engineering Corporation (represented by the first image) and Vulture droids made by the Techno Union (represented by the second image). Both droids are being used during the Clone Wars

The difference between these two types comes down to a couple factors:

1. Rarity

2. Production.

3. Overall performance

Rarity: Vulture droids seen in the clone wars are largely the ones produced by the Techno Union, for obvious reasons. They have more factories, and other means of production, to produce these droids on mass. However, a small portion of these Vulture Droids are ones made by the Haor Chall Engineering Corporation since they have fewer factories and (in my head cannon) are all located on their home planet and organically operated, unlike the Techno Unions largely automated factories.

Production: the Techno Union does not put time into their droids, every Vulture Droid ushered off their line are poorly made, simply programmed, and have little to no critical thinking skills that go above their repressive programing parameters. However Vulture Droids that come from Haor Chall Engineering are made with much more care, especially since their culture revolves around creating good products. Haor Chall Vulture Droids are slightly more durable, have better and more comprehensive programming, and are capable of thinking critically, quickly, and somewhat like how an organic pilot would think (There chassis are also painted slightly lighter than the typical Techno Union Vulture Droid).

Overall Performance: both types of droids are important for the Confederacy's starfighter division, however Techno Union droids are made more like their B1 foot soldier cousins, as in they are simply cannon fodder. However, on the other hand, Haor Chall Engineering Vulture Droids are made to last, they are capable of learning and adapting to more situations, unlike Techno Vultures, and can stack up kills similar to clone pilots. Haor Chall Vulture Droids are, therefore, often put in positions of being squad leaders for Vulture formations, these squads are quite dangerous due to the squad leaders ability to quickly adapt and better counter attack Republic pilots, unlike their Techno Union variants who are simple and predictable.

Haor Chall Vulture Droids are also slightly larger than their distant Techno Union cousins, since the Techno Union scrapped some features to make producing Vultures much easier for them. All of these differences between producers causes there to be some slight rivalry between the two types since they both believe themselves to be superior, however this rivalry is more kin to a sibling one rather than an personal one.
