- "Sir, over there, the Jedi is escaping."
"Not likely." - ―A B1 battle droid and a B2-HA super battle droid
The B2-HA super battle droid was a heavy weapons variant of the B2-series super battle droid used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars,[2] even fighting in the First Battle of Geonosis.[7] They were equipped with an integrated rocket launcher that could fire homing rockets. They could be seen leading droids like B1-series battle droids.[6] Tasked with leading a patrol, a B2-HA was part of the Hissrich droid unit led by the droid mercenary AD-W4.[8] One B2-HA led B1 battle droids on the planet Rodia.[6]
During the Imperial Era, many B2-HAs were reprogrammed by the Bedlam Raiders on the planet Koboh. Amongst their forces was a modified unit known as "Beetu Deetu."[5]
Behind the scenes[]
The B2-HA super battle droid first appeared in "Ambush,"[2] the first episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which originally aired on October 3, 2008.[9] The droid was later first identified in the 2016 children's activity kit Star Wars Builders: Droids, written by Cole Horton for the Star Wars Builders series published by Silver Dolphin Books.[10]
