What's your favorite SW War Droid?

Antediluvian · Post by **Antediluvian** » 2002-10-15 01:08pm

I like the Mandalorian Basilisk Droid best. It's able to fly through space and atmospheres, armed with an assortment of powerful weapons, functioned directly as an extension of it's rider's body, tough to kill, and could attack physically. What's not to like?

Balmorran SD-10

10/11 feet high

The MSE-6 mouse droid.

Viper Automadons. Blasters are comparable to capital-grade turbolasers, molecular shielding make them nearly invulnerable, and I'm willing to bet they also incorporate point of impact deflectors and self healing metals.

My second would probably be the YVH droids.

IG-88 is probably a close third.

I thought we were talking about WAR droids. IG-88 is an assassin.

A mouse? Kel, do you have a fever?

D'oh! I missed the "War" part in the thread name.

War droid.... hm... Fuck if I know.

Holy shit, the Empire really should get of it's ass and start making those vipers in massive numbers and just release them on Yuuzhan Vong worlds for the fun of it.

Hell, capital-grade turbolasers? Thats a minimum of kiloton level firepower there, and they can probably take it in return too.

As for the YVH's, their arm blasters pretty kickass, can destroy a coral-skipper with a fullpowered shot, that could be near Kiloton level firepower there too, or atleast in the hundreds of gigajoules.

Off-Topic: HDS: Now you see why I thought the X-1 Viper's would kick the Space Marine's ass.

On-Topic: I liked those droidekas pretty well. They're a solid second choice.

Connor Macleod: I didn't see anything about point of impact deflectors and self-healing metals in their entry, but who knows? Maybe they do.

Droid Starfighters. Small and fast making them Hard to hit

Yes, I guess it does, do you agree in that conclusion?

Those SD-10's are more impressive than I thought too, 11 feet tall, thats 3.35meters, thats big.

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-15 03:09pm

They're strong, too. And unlike TF droids, they don't rely on a DCS.

Gotta go with EV-9D9. What an attitude for a droid. I betcha he goes home and beats his kids.

Viper followed by the XR-85. Since the Viper's already been covered..

Length: 32 meters
Height: 30 meters
Armament:
One Turreted Heavy Particle Cannon
Two Forward Light Turbolasers
Four Twin Heavy Repeating Blasters
1 Aft Golan Arms DF.9
Max speed is 70kph and the treads would make ofr a very stable firing platform. It can also ford water up to 15 meters deep.

Yep.

They probably couldn't defeat Titans (maybe) but Space Marines would be toast.

Speaking of Titans, we'll just sic World Devastators after them. They're basically just huge droids anyway (the WD's, I mean.)

His Divine Shadow · Post by **His Divine Shadow** » 2002-10-15 05:36pm

I don't believe that a single Viper would have any real chance against a Titan, but possibly a whole swarm of Vipers surrounding the Titan and nibbling away at it.
There is also many projectile weapons in use by 40k forces that the Viper isn't able to cope with as well.

Yes World Devestaor

Its just a realy... REALY big droid

I assume this is what you actually wanted.

yep, thanks sea skimmer

IG-88A is by far the best. I think that would count as a droid despite it's size and would-be gassed crew before they were vaporized.

I like the idea behind the SEP1 bodyguard droid, but I also like the R6 and R7, the LE series maintenance droid, and the Mouse Droid, which while technically worthless is kind of a funny idea. Honorable mentions go to Em-Kay, from X-Wing: Alliance and, of course, R2-D2. All of those are very good ideas, and worked quite well in the books and movies in which they were presented.

Superbattle driod.

And does anyone have any stats on the Scarab droids? The primitive fighters used by the TF in Starfighter.

Two laser cannons, a shield, and a hyperdrive. That's all they give us. i haven't found any data on them whatsoever, so I'm jsut going by visuals.
