Talk:Octuptarra magna tri-droid

"On Mygeeto, tri-droids were used against Jedi master Ki-Adi-Mundi´s forces, blowing up several tanks. ... On Coruscant, a tri-droid tried to kill master Windu with it´s beam weapon, but he reflected it back at the droid." Are we going to list every time a Stormtrooper shot at someone too? --SparqMan 13:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * These were just the most famous (and only) moments of the tri-droid's appearance. No need to get snarky. VT-16 10:03, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Octupurra
Wasnt it called Octapurra Droid or something?
 * They were two different types of droid. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:37, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Tri-Droids on Coruscant in Clone Wars?
Aren't those Octuptarra droids, Tri-Droids shoot rockets not lazer beams like the Octuptarra Droid.--Rune Haako 01:13, 13 February 2006 (UTC) Nevermind.--Rune Haako 19:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Considering the fact that a) the height is the only difference and b) the mirco-series has gotten things wrong, it could be either one. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, then... Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Names
The Wiki is currently mistaken. The terms "octuptarra droid" and "tri-droid" are synonyms. Either term can be used for the giant or small version. Go read the actual text of the DB entries. The distinction of name in DB titles is simply to make things easier. "An example of the Techno Union's modular, scalable manufacturing techniques, enormous versions of the octuptarra model are unleashed on the battlefield as combat artillery, but the battle droid-sized antipersonnel model trades terrorizing scale for agility." Note that this quote refers to the big ones as "octuptarra droids" just as the small ones are so-called. JustinGann 04:38, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
 * "The tri-droids are gigantic versions of the smaller anti-infantry octuptarra droids"; octuptarra are anti-infantry, tri-droids are anti-artillery. They are two different variants, thus we use the two different names to identify them - Kwenn 12:28, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Plus, the databank has screwed up before; this is yet another mistake. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Chronicles: Prequels confirms that octuptarra and tri-droid are interchangeable names used for both sizes.JustinGann 20:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Then why the hell are there two names? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought even the official databank separated the two. Octuptarra was the small models and tri-droids the big ones. VT-16 11:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Even if they are interchangeable names, the fact remains that there are two distinct models; small anti-infantry and large anti-artillery. Thus, we, as the Databank does, should differentiate the two with the provided names - Kwenn 12:05, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:25, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
