Current project: The B1 battle droid

 * The proposed changes

The proposed changes
The introductory pharagraph Deleted sources in introductory paragraphs. Following Wookiepedia's sourcing rules.'' Introductory pharagraphs reduced to display minimum basic information about B1s. Complementary information is moved to the main article.

Style, sources and copyright infringment

An awful lot of information in the main article was copy-pasted from the Lego description of a battle Droid. I modidied the text in order to avoid copyright infringment, to take out asumptions or abiguous parts and to follow sources that are listed as reliable.

The introductory section about hunter killer droid was removed.The OMM page seem to conflict with the statement that hunter killers were the direct predecesors of B1s. The SW rpg games by wizard of the Coast, has different entries for B1s and for OMMs thereby diferentiating them.

I removed the line that said “their bodies vaguely resembled those of the Geonoisians”. This contradicts cannon information from the Visual Dictionary that states that Battle droids are designed to resemble skeletal Neimoidian bodies in order to look threatening.

Removed section about camuflage colors. The link in the discussion page is no longer active and we have no reliable source for that.

The flaws that B1s presented in battle were moved from “design” to “performance”.

Added information

Added a line about the capacity of B1s to be folded.

The modified page
B1 battle droids were battle droids that made up the backbone of the Trade Federation Army and the Separatist Droid Army. These kind of droids were mass produced at low costs and saw extensive use during the Invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars.

B1 batle droids had gaunt tall bodies and goulish heads that were designed to resemble desiccated Neimodian corpses; a trait that was intended to strike fear into the enemy's heart. B1s were physically identical to their direct predecessor, the OMM series battle droids. However, unlike OOM models, they were not color-coded according to function and individual units could only distinguished by their serial number in the back of their comlink booster. A particularly interesting feature of B1s, that was intended to cut down production costs,was that they lacked an autonomous droid brain and were slaved to a central control computer located in a remote starship or some other well defended facility. While not in use or while being transported B1s could be storaged and folded, this enabled an MTT to hold and deploy quikly up to 112 droids in the baltefield.
