Split it!
This article should be split in two. The B1 model refers ONLY to the non-colored infantry droid. The colored specialists, which have more intelligence and independence, are known as OOM droids, a separate model, and should have a separate article. Note that both Arms & Equipment Guide and the WOTC official site indicate the security, pilots, and officers (red, blue, and yellow) are all programmed variants of the OOM model. The droid marine probably is as well.JustinGann 10:59, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * This article does not need to be split. They were all B-1 battle droids, no matter what color. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:53, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * But we have individual articles for many other varients of weapons and droids. Why can't there be an OOM article? -- Riffsyphon1024 21:27, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * An OOM article, yes, but we don't have to split the article. They were are B-1s. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:30, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Nebulax, can you provide proof they are all B1s--that any save the infantry standard are B1s? I can provide proof they are not.  Arms & Equipment guide first indicated that the pilots, officers, and security were OOM models (with separate stats from B1s) and this was reconfirmed by Artificial Armies.
 * You mean you're getting stats from Wizards of the Coast? Come on, already. And plus, they are all variants of the B-1 model. I said that an OOM article would be fine, but they are obviously all variants of the B-1. I never said they were all the same, as they were obviously not. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:58, 9 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * WOTC is canon unless trumped by something. And they are not "obviously" all variants of the B1 model.  while physically similar, the OOM line is more independent, more intelligent, and more sophisiticated as far as internal programming goes.  They are SIMILAR to B1s, but not B1s.  In fact, the OOM line predates the B1 line by many years.  Note CoD, in which it is explained that the B1 was new as of 33 BBY, and was basically a dumb-downed version of the OOM.  This is the canon evidence, and unless you have some contradictory canon evidence other than what you feel is obvious, should be reflected on WIKI. ;) JustinGann 22:56, 9 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if it's canon, then we should have an OOM article. But at least keep the majority of this article the same. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:02, 9 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, is there going to be an OOM command droid, OOM security droid, and OOM pilot droid or not? Admiral J. Nebulax 15:46, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Gray B-1?

 * It's probably just a blur because the droid was running when the picture was taken. Admiral J. Nebulax 01:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Pic?
Can we not get a better pic? We need one showing standard infantry droids, not security droids.
 * Not really; a B-1 battle droid is a B-1 battle droid. Yes, some were used as commanders, security officers, pilots, etc., but they all have the basic features. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I know they are all B-1s. We just need a more...generalized pic.
 * How do we upload pictures? I could upload several high-res pics showing each type of droid, or a low-res showing the first four, and another showing the marine.
 * Under toolbox, click upload file, and follow the directions. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Compact Droid Storage
Exactly what is the size of a B1 when folded for compact storage? I assume it must be roughly one cubic meter, because I've seen people stating that Core Ships can hold 66 million of these creatures, and the only reference I can find is the 66 million cubic meter cargo hold. Which leads me to wonder why the massively larger full Lucrehulks Battleship would only carry some 229,000 going by the number of C9979 Landing Ships they carry.
