The Separatist droid speeder was a lean and heavily armed military repulsorcraft operated by B1-series battle droids against the Galactic Republic's clone trooper army during[1] the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Republic.[2] The speeder had eight built-in laser cannons that fired red blaster bolts, and its wings could be folded down for greater maneuverability during combat. It was also equipped with a hatch below its rear that could be opened to release a bomb. The repulsorcraft had a gray and blue paint-scheme with an inverted blue Confederate Roundel on both sides of its nose. During the Clone Wars, a blue-painted B1 battle droid used the Separatist droid speeder on[1] the temperate moon Rugosa.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
The Separatist droid speeder was released by Hasbro in 2011 as part of the second wave of the "Shadows of the Dark Side" toys, which in turn were a part of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars toy line.[1]
