Older Model
Is it possible that this is actually an OLDER model than the Magna Guards, but that production was resurrected after they were built? User:Gothmog
 * No, why do you ask?
 * Probably the numbers (88 and 72 being lower than the numbers used for the MagnaGuards) &mdash; Silly Dan 17:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * But if IG-72 was built before IG-88, then how can IG-88 be built after the IG-100s? 13:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's pretty clear now that how this works was the IG Lancer droids were built first, then Phlut produced blueprints for IG droids 2-100, and then they were bought out. IG-100 was then produced for the MagnaGuards, and then later during the time of the Empire, Holowan Labs went back and reused the older IG blueprints to produce new droids such as IG-72 and IG-88. So in terms of design, it's IG Lancer, IG-72, IG-88, IG-100 as you'd expect -- but in terms of when they were built, it was IG Lancers, IG-100, and then IG-72 and IG-88. Ewor Nimajneb 21:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, we are all reading the numbers as a whole, with 100 > 88. IGBC (or Halowan, or whatever) could use the numbers differently: First cypher is the "major" version, second number is the "revision", third number if needed is the "build". IG-100 meaning IG-v1.0.0 while IG-88 could mean IG-v8.8. In this case, IG-100 < IG-88.
 * We do not know as of now if the IG-88 blueprints predate the IG-100 blueprints, but I think an apparently greater number is not proof enough to perform a conjecture on the article.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 15:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Good use of creative thinking -but how do you explain IG-72?Tocneppil 20:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * "Hey, let's build this new design, the mark 8.8" "I've been talking with the bureaucrats, engineer #1. They said we can build all the 8.8's we want, but only if we also build a new version of the 7.1, just to test if it solves the bugs" "Don't worry about it, engineer #2, I think we can slip the 7.2 core in an empty 8.8 shell"
 * Btw, probably West End Games RPG provided different statistics for Tatooine Manhunt's IG-72 and Galaxy Guide 3&10 IG-88. I'll check them asap (this noon or tomorrow or anything), being my hypothesis: Only one entry for IG-88, covering IG-88A to IG-88E, with better dice codes than IG-72. Conjecture: This probably means that IG-88 is more efficient than IG-72 as bounty hunter (Similarly, Han Solo has better dice codes in "Blaster" than Leia, meaning he is a best marksman). At the same time, only one entry for all the IG-88's means that each of them is at least quite similar, and a great difference between the IG-88's and IG-72 means that there must be a great difference between the models. Obviously the difference is not in the shell; the 88 must have something like a dual-core or anything.
 * Thank you very much, I think I'll have a look at the swfanon now.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

IG-2000
The IG-2000 was designed and built at Mechis III, not at Holowan Labs. May we change this to have better accuracy?
 * No, he was built at Holowan Labs and, a few minutes after his activation, headed off to Mechis III, as known from reading Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88
 * I believe the previous user referred to the IG-88 himself. IG-2000 was built on Mechis III. I'll take the liberty of editing this. &mdash;BambookidX 02:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

IG-88
All know that the armor of IG-88 is impenetrable for external attacks: lasers... But and what will a blow of a lightsaber, what happen?

Identity crisis
This article says that IG-88A became Thul's bodyguard. However, the Wikipedia article on IG-88 says that it was IG-88B. So which IG-88 was it really?
 * The Databank says that it was IG-88A. BambookidX 01:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Updated 2/26/06
In my recent update, I fixed most of the spelling & and grammar and various other parts. However, these parts I didn't understand:

In 3 ABY, IG-88 was commissioned to find the Millennium Falcon, while Imperial Supervisor Gurdun was him seeking, therefore he had invested in your fugitives murderous droids to create a better army than the stormtroopers.

Can anyone understand and/or fix this? I've removed the text after the second comma for now.

''However, IG-88 was beaten to the Han Solo bounty by Boba Fett. IG-88B was destroyed on Bespin by Fett in retaliation for attempting to track him. IG-88s C and D engaged Fett on Tatooine to attempt to steal the carbonite contained Solo, but were defeated.Despite IG-88's feuds with Boba Fett, IG-88 helped Boba Fett on a mission involving the Shell Hutt. C was destroyed, and D limped away to be later finished off by Dash Rendar on Ord Mantell.''

The sentence concerning the Shell Hutts looks questionable, but I haven't changed it. Can anyone confirm this? BambookidX 06:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Was in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. I forget which book. The second one, I think. SolusKad 03:40, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It was in the Bounty Hunter Wars, but was part of the story of Boba's past life that Dengar was telling. It was during the time that IG-88B was roaming the galaxy acting the part of a bounty hunter to draw attention away from his counterparts on Mechis III (Between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back). So this mission was before he had any emnity toward Fett. I'll try to fix this up after I reread that part of the book!.--Wirelessmike 16:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Senile?
Just stopping through here, but I don't think IG-88 should be described as "senile" in any respect. While amusing, that descriptor strikes me as a bit inaccurate, so I'm changing it to "sentient," which may be what the author originally intended it to be.
 * I think you're right. RMF 03:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Eh, more like a random act of vandalism. Do you think it's serious enough to report? BambookidX 06:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * One of the four insane, senile killing machines of the IG-88 line. It was agreed by all four of the crazed units that this one would be the bounty hunter as to distract any attention from Mechis III where the droid revolution was being conducted(no,i dont understand it either). It flew the first sleek ship of its class: the IG-2000(WTF!!). It was this one that was onboard the Super Star Destroyer Executor during the hunt for Han Solo(cool dude). While onboard, it learned of the new Death Star project underway at the forest moon of Endor. It relayed the information to the other three IG-88's. Afterwards, it started placing trackers on all of the bounty hunters' ships that were present, he would use them to find Solo. Boba Fett was not fooled; he allowed IG-88B to follow him to Bespin, where the droid met its end. IG-88B was left as scrap in the bowels of Cloud City.

Pic?
Where'd that pic come from? Movie? Game?
 * Looks like a behind-the-scenes promotional photo from the set of Empire Strikes Back. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] ...talk? 05:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Split
Recently, there's been a bit of a dispute over adding content to the IG-88A page. Should we create separate articles for each IG-88 variant? I think we should, since it's really no different from creating separate articles for each of Grievous' IG-100 MagnaGuards (see IG-101, IG-102, IG-179 etc) - Kwenn 17:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Name spelling?
Is the "I" in "IG88" a numerical "1" or an alphabetical "i"? Totema1 20:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's an "i". 217.198.150.144 09:25, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Appearance in Chewbacca


This pic appears in Star Wars: Chewbacca, in a flashback story to when Jaina was a kid. The droid on the right appears to be an IG-88 model. The droids all get blown up at the conclusion of the story, but I thought it should be integrated into the article where most appropriate. Any ideas how it wokrs out? --Eyrezer 00:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, this just makes less sense all the time. There's also a picture in The Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil that shows IG-88 with a bunch of other hunters. How sure are we that he was incinerated? Or maybe it's the final resting place of IG-88B's body? Cull Tremayne 10:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The odd part is that it looks like it is still functioning. --Eyrezer 10:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Quote
Can I remove the I think quote and put it elsewhere? I think two quotes at the top looks dumb. Chack Jadson 11:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

FoC
Which IG-88 was in Forces of Corruption? Personally, I think it was IG-88A, since he had the IG-2000 and he's the one who uploaded his consiousness to the Death Star, but I'm not sure.
 * I think it would be IG-88B. The article says that IG88B should be the "bounty hunter face" of the IG88 line. Darth T. 02:50, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It couldn't be B, since Bespin is already under Imperial control and B dies offscreen during ESB. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 03:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Is the IG-88 from Shadows of the Empire really IG-88D?
Does anyone know from where it is stated that IG-88D is the one in the Shadows of the Empire Game, or is this someones guess?
 * If I remember correctly, his model is listed in his name when next to his HP or whatever. 66.167.148.239 21:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

A New Hope
An IG model droid appears in the background of the cantina scene in A New Hope. Does anyone know whether this is one of the four IGs - or is it IG-72? Also, is there any clarification as to which IG was seen in the Droids TV series? My bet's on IG-88B, but can't be sure. Ewor Nimajneb 18:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's just a part of the bar. The bar prop was re-used for ESB when it was time to put together a bounty hunter droid. As for Droids... no idea. Eggmanland 20:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's probably the same one who showed up in the comic book.Darth Ceratis 17:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Small question
Which was the one that went after Mon Julpa, again? Was that C? Rodtheanimegod4ever 15:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Another Small Question
Why is this article categorised under the 'Male' section?The IG-88s were droids...and they didn't even have any programming that made them act a certain gender. Lord Thanatos 05:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Your DNA is nothing more than a complex program or code, therefor if you are programed to be masculine then you would be male and if you where feminine you would be female.

Renegade Squadron
Which IG-88 was featured in Renegade Squadron? It is possible that IG-88D survived his battle with Dash Rendar?

Activation of the four IG-88s
"the original massacred the scientists and transferred his conscious into the other three". Transferred his consciousness or his conscience? Editing to consciousness, feel free to revert or edit as necessary. --Marshmellis 01:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Height
Is his height 1.96 meters? -
 * Hmm... the Essential Guide to Characters, Move Trilogy Sourcebook and Galaxy Guide 10: Bounty Hunters say 2 meters, the databank says 1.96 meters. --Craven 12:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

'...he owes me a favour'
Before Tyber Zann goes to steal tibanna gas on Bespin he asks Urai to get IG-88. Urai says he will contact IG-88 as he owes Urai a favour. What did Urai Fen do for IG-88?86.136.215.61 23:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
