B1 battle droid (AU)

"Usefull things. However, they could be a greater threat to us than the Jedi."

- General Grievous

B1 battle droids were battle droids that served as part of the Trade Federation, the Techno Union, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. They were the main soliders during the Clone Wars.

Design
B1 battle droids were based off the skeletons of Humans. They are mostly white with the exceptions of the commander, security officers, pilots, and marines. They are tall and their arms transform into various weapons such as AK-47s, Grenade Launchers, and Flamethrowers. They can also hack into computers using their minds.

History
B1s were used ever since the Invasion of Naboo.

Invasion of Naboo
The B1s were acquired by the Viceroy Nute Gunray and ordered to invade the planet of Naboo. The invasion was successful, but the battle wasn't. The Jedi Council had deactivated the entire army and arrested Gunray and his fellow Neimoidian aides.

Clone Wars
The droids were given a back up system and were reactivated. They served as part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although the B1s and Droidekas were some of the few to remain the same, the new B2 Super Battle Droids and Magnaguards were added to the array of Searatist forces. They have fought in the Clone Wars since the Battle of Geonosis and were used the most. However, magnaguards were the second most popular droids in the army and were used more by Darth Sidious.

Behind the Scenes

 * The B1s were still voiced by Matthew Wood, but Wood gives them a more serious than silly voice in the games.


 * Instead of their wimpy appearances, User:Yodakenobi went with the appearances from I, Robot.
