Talk:Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I/Legends

Move to "Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid"? --SparqMan 03:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. Is there even a Mark II version? - Kwenn
 * I don't think so. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:20, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I thought the original droid starfighter and the Vulture Droid were different. Wasn't the original produced by the Xi Charrians while the Vulture droid is a slightly different model produced by the Techno Union? If you watch them in Ep.I and Ep.III they seem to behave in completely different ways.--Fett77 07:55, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * So? The Episode III model is the same as the Episode I model. The reason why you think they act differently is because they're being used for all-out war. And no, the Vulture droid was not produced by the Techno Union. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:52, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think it was only painted differently and given missiles. Battle droids were probably given combat upgrades for the war but that isn't really mentioned out loud. They do show more flexibility in Episode III than TPM, like the one that fires the missiles seems to turn its head and wiggle its wings a little. But they could have been like that all along. -Aiddat 01:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * For that, the Vulture droid opened his wings so he could launch the discord missiles. I think that the wiggle of his head was meant to check to make sure they were ready before being fired. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but they didn't do that in The Phantom Menace. I wonder if they were enhanced with more points of articulation or if they just didn't need to do it in the battle over Naboo. I guess it doesn't matter much.
 * No, I don't think that's the case. When they're in walking mode, then can move their heads in just about any direction. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:29, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the Vulture Droid is an advanced version of the Droid Starfighter in Episode I, with the paint perhaps to make it look more threatning during a battle. LuketheGreat 08:53, 3 Feb 2007
 * It's upgraded, certainly, but it's not a new model. We've known since TPM that the Vultures could open and close their wings, so that's nothing new, at least. Even the toy versions incorporated moving wings and heads - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 16:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I just had the strangest feeling of deja vu. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 00:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Variants
You mention that there's already a page. Where? -- Hawke / Rtufo 05:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you search up the name of the fighter, you'll get a page for it. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 12:06, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Confederacy Logos on just the one?
Does is signafy rank or something?

I know we can't see all of them in the scene good enough to be sure but we can see 3 or 4 and they don't have the logos like the one, and it does seem to order the other ones.--Rune Haako 18:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I extemely doubt that it signifies rank. Anyway, it's probably a technical glitch. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the other symbols were just hidden in shadow, or the Seperatists like some variety in their droids' paint jobs. ;) -Aiddat 01:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * They could have been scorched by blaster fire. The separatists don't re-paint their ships and droids. It makes them look tougher because they won a battle. Thats's my thought.Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui] 22:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

In pirate groups?
How can they be in Pirate groups when all droids are deactivated at the end of Episode III? User:General Secura
 * The deactivation signal created an opportunity for those wanting to get their hands on new technology. Any mechanic with enough knowledge could have found one and reprogrammed it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Name
I should point out that the most recent Legacy novel follows the CCG in calling this model the DFS seris.JustinGann 22:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * "DFS series"? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Walking mode
What weapons can the Vulture use in walking mode? And is there any stat for its height in that mode? Red XIV 05:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Probably none. 2) I believe so, though I don't know what it is. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 15:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
