TZ-33

"Form up for counterattack. Lower the gate."

- TZ-33 gives orders as his outpost comes under attack

TX-33 was the designation of a T-series tactical droid with masculine programming who served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Stationed in an Separatist outpost on the planet Felucia, the forces under TX-33's command at the outpost were sent reinforcements by Separatist General Grievous shortly before being attacked by Republic forces led by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano. The Republic forces quickly overwhelmed the outpost, and TX-33 was destroyed by Skywalker during the fighting.

Biography
"We are detecting several Republic tanks moving in on the ridge in front of us."

- A B1 battle reports to TZ-33 The T-series tactical droid designated TZ-33 was produced by Baktoid Combat Automata for the Confederacy of Independant for use during the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic. During the war, the droid was stationed in an outpost on the planet Felucia, where Republic and Separatist forces were engaged in a long-scale conflict for control of the planet. When the cyborg Separatist General Grievous learned that the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano were leading clone trooper tank divisions on Felucia, he sent B1 battle droid reinforcements to TZ-33's outpost in a C-9979 landing craft, in the hopes of securing the Separatists hold on the Felucia system.

TZ-33 oversaw the disembarkment of the new troops, not realizing that it was being watched by Republic forces preparing to attack the Separatist outpost. The Jedi and clones split into three groups and surrounded the outpost, but before they could attack the Separatist forces detected the Republic All Terrain Tactical Enforcers supporting them from a nearby ridge. The AT-TE opened fire on the outpost, prompting TZ-33 to order his troops to form up and mount a counter-attack against the artillery vehicles. Once the outpost's gates were open to allow the B1 battle droids and DSD1 dwarf spider droid under TZ-33's control out, a force of clone troopers led by Skywalker charged the gate and pushed through into the outpost. A second force led by Jedi Master Plo Koon then enter the outpost using jetpacks on the left flank and a third force commanded by Tano scaled the rear wall using grappling hooks. The Separatist droids were quickly overwhelmed, and after destroying several BX-series droid commandos defending TZ-33, Skywalker cleaved the tactical droid diagonally in two with his lightsaber as it tried to back away.

Characteristics
TZ-33 was a T-series tactical droid with masculine programming. He had white sensors and green and yellow colored plating. While inside his outpost he carried no weapon, and could only try and back away as he was attacked by Skywalker.
