Talk:IG-100 MagnaGuard/Legends

I was skimming the EPIII Visual Dictionary at a store today and noticed the mention on the MagnaGuard page of the significance of their different colors. Can someone with the book add that in? --SparqMan 02:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have the book, Grievous has two IG-100 Series MagnaGuard droids IG-101 (blue in color) and IG-102 (gray in color) each one looks the same but one is older then the other it dose not say which is the older model, but my guess is that since in Empire Strikes Back we see an IG-88 bounty hunter droid, then the numbering goes down not up and the IG-101 is the "newer one" unless IG-88 has been active for over 20+ years?
 * No, you have it mixed up. IG-101 is just the name of the droid, as well as IG-102. They were IG-100 series MagnaGuards. IG-88 does not have anything to do with the MagnaGuards. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 19:52, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

True that both are IG-100 series MG, but with in that series cann't sub series be made? Maybe after Gen. Grev. order the droids made and was given the IG-101 he found faults with it so he upgraded some to the IG-102? one type is shown, at the start of the movie as still working after OB1 cuts of it's head, and the other color is shown as deactivated after cuting it's head off (when OB1 fights Grev. for the last time) After all someone upgraded/fixed OB1's R4-P14 unit to give it a R2 head in AotC, then upgraded the droid once more to give it a body to work inside of the ETA-2 Jedi Starfighters in Rots. --sithlord123 13:18, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * They're all just IG-100 MagnaGuards. The reason they have different numbers is because they were the first ones ordered. IG-101 was the first, IG-102 was the second, etc. All you're doing is explaining things you don't need to. There is no proof that each one was modified. Grievous could have had fifty or more of these droids; all of them being the same, except for their numerical designation. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 13:21, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Cortosis
If their bodies are made of cortosis, how exactly do the Jedi, using lightsabers, manage to destroy them? --Fade 18:42, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Their staffs were made of cortosis, despite the fact that the Jedi destroyed them easily. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:49, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about how, in the article, it says their bodies are made of cortosis. Their staffs are made of Phrik, anyway. --Fade 19:59, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter&mdash;they're both lightsaber-resistant. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:03, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I know, just sayin'. My original question still stands, though. --Fade 20:07, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, considering we know through previous sources that lightsabers can't cut through cortosis (except for The New Droid Army), it might be an error. Or, the Jedi found a technique to cut through cortosis, which was used in the First Battle and the Second Battle of Coruscant in the Clone Wars. Just a thought. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:10, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * The Visual Dictionary mentions nothing about cortosis armor on these droids - only on their weapons. In fact, it labels IG-102's shoulder as a 'duranium pauldron'. It mentions their staffs "cannot be severed by lightsaber", though since their bodies are battle-scarred, the droids themselves are obviously not as impervious. Therefore, I think the cortosis thing was a mistake on behalf of whoever added it to the article - Kwenn 18:31, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

'I was skimming the EPIII Visual Dictionary at a store today and noticed the mention on the MagnaGuard page of the significance of their different colors. Can someone with the book add that in? --SparqMan 02:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)' I was skimming through it three days ago and was about to say the same thing.
 * Was that really necissary? No. Please don't do it again. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:46, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Who me? Mearly stating my surprise. No need to get prissy.
 * Okay, first of all: Wrong section. Second of all: It wasn't necissary. And I'm not prissy. Anyway, how is that stating your surprise? Admiral J. Nebulax 22:28, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

sorry about the wrong section. I was surprised I came to say something and it had already been said. How was it not necessary, it still needs to be added.
 * You mean about the colors? Admiral J. Nebulax 01:36, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Yes the colors!
 * Well, I don't think the color makes a difference, but might as well put something like "They came in..." and put the colors. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:48, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

This is the profile of the magnaguard. What the hell do you mean 'the colors don't make a difference.' If this is to be the ultimate star wars information site why the fuck would we leave information out? Depending on what colors they are they have different purposes, different strong points, like some may be better at close combat fighting or something. If anyone knows what the colors represent that information should be added. Read the fucking book yourself. Their colors don't show individually they show different purposes, what function they serve.
 * The colors are just there to show they were individually different. It does not denote rank or superiority. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:10, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I find that very odd. They wouldn't have separate purposes. And stop cursing already. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:45, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Your pissing me off! They have seperate ourposes, if you don't believe me and the other person who posted this then read the book! But I read it and I kniw what I read and your wrong! Damn!
 * Okay, then you tell me: Why do they have specific purposes? Admiral J. Nebulax 21:31, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Uh, hmm, lets think... why would Grievous make all his droids the same? So they have the same purpose when it would be more benificial to have them do different things cause, uh, not all his opponents will be Jedi.
 * They were all trained the same way. It says so in LoE. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:35, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Proof? (I want the exact words).
 * Fine, I'll get it. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:38, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Good, I'll be waiting.
 * Here: "...and Grievous had taught his elite well. Coupled with Dooku's coaching, their programming in the seven classic forms of lightsaber dueling&mdash;in the Jedi arts&mdash;made them lethal opponents". It might not say it directly, but it shows they were all trained the same. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:50, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

These were the ones Grievous was fighting, right? And Dooku was only commenting on the ones Grievous was fighting. Nice try.
 * You don't get it, do you? All of the IG-100s were trained the same. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:31, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Well, sorry but I'll believe the Visual Dictionary over your bull-shit stuck-up unsupported opinion.
 * Umm... I don't really have anything useful to add this arguement... But why is that guy acting like that? --Master Starkeiller 18:18, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Right. From the RotS Visual Dictionary: "Holowan Mechanicals made several MagnaGuard models, distinguished by color: black, alabaster blue and the rare grey. Each two-meter-tall droid specializes in a form of combat." But on the facing page, it says they "...have the capacity to adjust their combat styles to match those of their opponents." So yes, MagnaGuards come in at least three colors, but the differences between each are not specified, and it seems they can be programmed with pretty much the same combat styles anyway, if they're able to alternate between them - Kwenn 18:28, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

So he's probably an elementary school brat with nothing better to do than violate his acceptable use policy to than argue with his betters. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  18:39, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Kwenn. Hopefully this idiot will finally give it up, knowing he's wrong. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:26, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * There's nothing like cold, hard facts to shut up the more stubborn of anons ;) - Kwenn 20:28, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
