War Robot-2

"These droids are inferior to our Separatist-supplied battle droids, they're showing their age, they're quite clunky and unwieldy, and their arm-mounted blaster lacks the flexibility of the E-5 and E-5C blaster rifles, the two large batteries on their backs also make for quite an obvious target, but they're still worth putting into service, I recommend having the captured droids enter service."

- A report from the Confederate Office of Robotics and Technology to the Confederate Office of War
