Intent: To make a more advanced Battle Droid for Trade Federation defense (cause those B1s are just..... Wow they are bad!!!)
Development Thread: If needed
Manufacturer: The Trade Federation
Model: Trade Federation Battle Droid MK2
Affiliation: The Trade Federation
Modularity: No
Production: Limited
Material: Duralium
Classification: Fourth Degree
Weight: 34 kilograms
Height: 1.6 meters
Movement: Bipedal
Armaments:
-Standard Droid Blaster
-Stun baton
Misc. Equipment: None
Strengths:
-Intimidating: Due to their corpse like nearly mangled looking appearance, they tend to bring fear to the opposition with ease
-Tuff: Though it has very little armor plating, it's metal skin can take a few bullets before its eventual death
-Quiet: At first glance this wouldn't seem like a strength, but when dealing with the incompetent babbling of B1s it would be a very strong selling point.....
Weaknesses:
-Combustion: The droid's engine and main point of power lies in the "innards" of its chest. A well placed shot to the exposed section of the chest would lead to a violent explosion causing fire to spew out of the mouth and eye sockets and any exposed points before collapsing to the ground
-Expensive: Compared to most droids, these droids are extremely expensive causing limited production for them
Description:
The Trade Federation, having grown tired of using the same old B1s that were from the Clone Wars decided a new battle droid model was needed. So the B1 MKII was built. Inside its chest its main point of power lies, though this means whenever a blast is fired into just the right spot, it immediately dies of a violent explosion that spits fire out of the eye sockets and mouth. This violent form of death, reminiscent to the Droid Army General Grievous, had give them the titles Grievous Inquisitors. The droids are scrawny looking, and seem corpse like in appearance, intimidating most that look at them. There armor, is mildly strong.... At least it takes about five blaster shots to kill them (unless hit at that special combustion spot, in which case it immediately explodes). Not to mention that unlike their B1 successors, these droids actually don't speak very often, though at first glance this wouldn't seem to be s very strong selling point, it would be praised by anyone who has to deal with the constant annoying bickering of the B1s. Despite all these pros the Neimoidians don't like producing them as often as they should...... THEY'RE EXPENSIVE!!! And Neimoidians don't do expensive unless it's robes or a new headdress!!
