Talk:B2 super battle droid/Legends

This article states that B-1 droids were modeled after the Geonosians, while the B-1 article states that B-1 droids were modeled after the skeletons of the Neimoidians. This discrepency needs to be fixed. P. Cobbs 20:48, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, the problem is the EU is conflicting on this. One source says they are based on Neimodian skeletons, other says Geonosians. QuentinGeorge 21:32, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * In other words, they are both theories and should both be presented. The Nemodians used to look much more like their battle-droids, but then GL changed their design, and then the VD proposed the skeleton theory, but then the Geonosian's came along, and messed everything up. --Eion 07:13, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I was just going to bring this up but it seems Cobbs got to it first. -- Riffsyphon1024 02:16, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Wouldn´t the newest source be the superior here? Since the intention with making Geonosians in AOTC was to show where those battle droids came from? VT-16 06:22, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * EDIT: I see you solved this on the B-1 page. VT-16 06:26, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Head quote?
An opening quote would be nice, do you think Wat was talking about them when he said "With these new battle droids we've built for you, you'll have the finest army in the Galaxy"? If that won't do, I could choose a suitable GB selection sound. -Aiddat 02:05, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * For the Wat quote, he was talking about all of the battle droids on Geonosis. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 02:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've talked about that before. A simple "I will comply" or "enemy engaged" from a game wouldn't be that good, do you have any other ideas? -Aiddat
 * Unfortunately, no. But I'll go look for a quote or two tomorrow. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 02:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, there's one from Battlefront II that might work. I don't know the complete quote, but a clone trooper says "...it's a super!". Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 02:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The clones will say one of two things regarding B2s. They will say either "They've sent in the supers!" or something else, it's a little hard to interphet, it sounds like "*inaudioable* and hack, it's a super!" Destroyer Droid 05:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

"Ohma-D'un battle droid"
Are the droids seen on Ohma-D'un actually battle droids? Their frames look similar to the B-2, but they don't carry weapons, and didn't seem to offer any resistance against Anakin - Kwenn 11:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They're practically identical to B-2s. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 21:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops, I was thinking of something else. They don't seem to be battle droids at all. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 21:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought. However, the Ohma-D'un super battle droid page mentions they're referred to as battle droids in Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. Sigh - Kwenn 21:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Great... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 01:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

In the comic, they seem to be studying the dead Gungans. They have these weird lights in the palms of their hands.--Darth Oblivion 19:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They were probably testing the virus's strength. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 20:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah The lights are probably some sort of scanner. You can see them looking at a small device in the other hand, which is probably connected to it.--Darth Oblivion 23:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's connected to the droid, but everything else sounds correct. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 00:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Scientific battlefield research droids for purposes such as that makes sense. And they'd probably have some combat skill/firepower, if not as much as a normal battle droid. Maybe the CIS doesn't even call them battle droids, the Jedi just nickname them that. -Aiddat 01:05, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Move?
Besides the fact that this might be moved to remove the "-" due to how it apparently is in TNEGtD, should this be moved to B2 super battle droid or should B3 ultra battle droid be moved to B3 battle droid? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What are the actual designations as specified in the NEGD? We haven't really been given a full, actual designation before, IIRC - Kwenn 20:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They appear to be "B1", "B2", and "B3". Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 22:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Naboo!?
Who says they were used in the Battle of Naboo? If you mean the Clone Wars then please include that. The Kashyyyk Trade Rebellion is (one of?) their first appearance(s), and another is in one of the Jedi Quest books. -Aiddat 23:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * They weren't used in the Battle of Naboo. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 00:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay then, I'll take it off. Whoever said they were, please explain. -Aiddat 00:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You misunderstood: they were upgraded versions of the B1 battle droid, first used by the Trade Federation at the Battle of Naboo. That's talking about the B1s. However, it was confusing, so it was a good idea to take it out. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 00:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Clarified. -Aiddat 01:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 20:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Camo image
I just wanted to know where that cool camoflauged B2 picture came from. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Contribs Log) 19:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The image on the B2 camo action figure packaging, I believe. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:35, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Height
My New Essential Guide to Droids book lists its height at 1.91 m. Is this correct, or is it a mistake by the authors?--Darth Tyler(talk) 02:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's pretty close, so it's not that much of a problem. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Sensor...
Which is the photoreceptor/sensor/whatever for the B2? I always though that it was the panel on their head, but someone said that it was the red thing on its chest. Unit 8311 20:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be me. I'll try to find the source for it, but I'm positive that red thing is its sensor. Perhaps not visual sensor, but a sensor. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 20:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's some sort of transmission thingmajig, or to show whether it's activated or not, like the light on a computer that is on. Unit 8311 21:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it's a sensor. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 21:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, first we need a source to see if your hunch is right. Unit 8311 08:25, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's more than a hunch; I read that somewhere. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 12:16, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The AotC VD states that the "main signal receptor" is built in to the droid's face, while a "command signal receptor" is located in the droid's shoulder. An "enhanced signal receptor package" is also located on the back of the head. Nothing specifically linked to the red light, though. The Databank also states "The droid's signal receptor and cognitive unit is built into its bulky upper chest" - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 12:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, what the Databank has is probably referring to the red light. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 20:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

5.2 Factual correction
I thought the B-2's also had a wrist mounted rocket launcher. It's on both Battlefronts and on Republic Commando.
 * Games go against canon, and those two especially do. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Record of Imperial Service) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Can't hold blasters...or can they?
Okay, yet another topic I just bought up. As many of us know, The B2's hands aren't designed to hold Blasters. But on the OFFICIAL Star Wars databank, it is said that the weapons that B2s use is a Wrist Blaster AND a Blaster Rifle. Now everyone knows you cannot argue against an official site for a certain subject. Either that, or they made another mistake.OOM-10 08:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)OOM-10
 * "Blaster rifle" doesn't always mean hand-held. In this case, it's probably built in. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Record of Imperial Service) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Contradicting...
In the clone wars cartoon, B2s are reduced to mincement in seconds by virtually anything, including Mace Windu's fists. Yet in Republic Commando, if I remember correctly, they're like tanks. Is there any explanation for this, such as variants? Unit 8311 16:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, let's remember games and the cartoon have gone against canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 19:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have seen the game... There are also many models in Battlegrounds. I like to think that they have variants like vehicles, I mean, they are droids. 65.27.139.162 01:05, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I haven't seen the episode that involves it, but it would be likly that Mace was increasing the strength of his punches with the force. Destroyer Droid 02:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Droid Conrol Ship
The article says that they don't rely on a Droid Control Ship to stay active. Yet on Republic Commando, they deactivate as soon as a Control Ship is destroyed. Why.
