- Elemental Resistance: Much like the Scrapper-Series Battle Droid; the Sentry Variant is able to survive in all conditions that will not affect its combat capability.
- Easy Storage: The Sentry Droid is able to fold its legs under its body; and make a square shape. Allowing them to be easily stacked up on top of each other for more storage room for supplies.
- Powerful Sensors: The Sentry Droid comes equipped with 9 sensors on the front; that can detect almost anything coming towards it in either short range or long range mode. No matter how far they are on the battlefield the droid sensors will pick it up; Allowing the droid to alert allies about enemy locations during scouting missions.
- Elemental Resistance: The Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid is designed to operate in all kinds of environments without slowing down its combat function. This better allows them to be used on all planets and battlefields without heavy limitations.
- Easy Storage Space: The Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid was designed to collapse in a storage mode; better allowing a large number of them to be put into a relatively small space stacked on top of each other. This better allows them to be stored on transport shuttles down to the surface; as they will not take up much room that is needed for other urgent supplies on the battlefield.
- Powerful Sensors: The Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid was equipped with 9 powerful scanners built into its box like frame. Allowing it the ability to see things far away and up close with no difficulty and can identify targets on the battlefield. The Droid will then be able to alert allies about enemy's locations during scouting missions or other task that the droid was assigned.
- Mass Produced: The Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid is extremely cheap to produce and upgrade like the Scrapper-Series Battle Droid; allowing the company or faction to save money from having to buy equipment for organic soldiers. This also allows them to mobilize an army extremely of these sentry droids quicky in the event of an invasion or to reinforce another battlefield.
- All Terrain Droid: Due to its pointed legs; The Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid is able to cross any type of terrain it comes across. Allowing them the chance to attack opponents from behind or outflank enemy positions because they are able to climb and walk across any planetary feature that is in their way
- Vulnerable from Behind: Although the Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid has 9 powerful scanners on the front; the Droid has no scanning equipment from behind. Allowing enemies and special forces the chance to bypass the droid entirely because it can't see behind itself to know that they are there. This is a vulnerability because it makes them quite an easy target for those that have stealth technology.
- Lack of Independence: Much like the Scrapper-Series Battle Droid; the Sentry Variant is designed to follow its programming to the letter. And this can have problems on the battlefield; as they lack the independence to make formulated battle strategies that are outside of the box or creative in any way. The programming processor is the only thing that can't be upgraded on it; as the droid was designed to operate on the standard processor unit.
The Scrapper-Series Sentry Droid was the concept thought of by the Head of the Mancheron Kajidic; Paranoda Mancheron Boggurobb. Taking inspiration from the Scrapper-Series Battle Droid Units deployed by Paranoda on Darvannis; and looking at the faults on that model of droid that was out of production already. The idea for an upgraded version of the Scrapper-Class Battle Droid was needed to lessen the drawbacks of the original design; while also keeping towards the mass production angle that paranoda wanted. The First Sentry Droid was put into production using the same simple and cheap frame from the original scrapper-series; but modified to an exact to support its 4 legged design; Naturally like the scrapper-series battle droid the design wasn't as effective in combat as the finished mass production line but did better against the militia and non combat groups that went against it. The First Model was put into mass production after a round of redesign and testing that showed that the droid was vastly superior to the Scrapper-Series Battle Droid that was produced prior; although lacking the variants of its predecessor, the sentry droid could do a variety of roles with the standard model that made them even cheaper to produce than the original battle droid. Due in part to the mass production side of things; the scrapper sentry droid only has a slightly more advanced simple programming than the scrapper series battle droid; and is designed to follow a set number of predictable tactics that were fielded by the galaxy's armies at the time. The First Batch of the Sentry Droid was produced from the Ancient Skytrooper Factory on Darvannis; was pressed into service to police the settlement of Oasis City along with the Scrapper-Series Battle Droids and the Mancheron Forces on the world. A number of these were also sent to the Palace of Paranoda; who resides there as Head of the Mancheron Kajidic. Protecting the Lorda of the Mancheron Kajidic from an assassination attempt by a rival crime syndicate on the planet; lead to their only being one model instead of the mass number of variants on the scrapper battle droid. Once the Sentry Droid was finished production; they would be sent away from Darvannis and stationed on Nar Shaddaa and Nal Hutta to reinforce the Scrapper Battle Droid; and to serve in the Hutt Palaces as a Cheap but Advanced Combat Droid until the time came when the Hutt Republic would need more combat droids that can work well with both infantry and vehicles on the battlefield. They perform better than the scrapper battle droid when it comes to infantry and stationary fortifications; they are less vulnerable to force users and heavy vehicles than the predecessor; but prolonged assault on them can have them be destroyed as well. The Sentry Droid was equipped with 9 powerful scanners that are on its frame; better allowing it to see enemy targets the minute that they land on the planet; due to the number of advanced scanners inside their box like frame. Due in part to their 4 legs; they can cross difficult terrain on the battlefield; allowing them the opportunity to flank the enemy from behind. Much like the Scrapper-Series Battle Droid the sentry is designed to operate in all environmental conditions and that will not limit their combat capacity in the slightest. An advancement over the Scrapper Battle Droid is their ability to enter into storage mode; better allowing them to be stacked into transports for invasions and they will not take up that much room; so that more supplies can be fitted onto the transports for battle. Unfortunate like the scrapper series; the sentry droid was cheaply made and their processor is only a slightly more advanced model that follows the same basic programming; but can still follow the directives given to it by the senior officer on the battlefield; they will also follow the same predictable combat tactics used by other armies in their way of doing things. Another problem is the lack of scanners on the back of the model leaving it vulnerable from behind but this weakness can be overcome with having sentry droids stationed behind other sentry droids to act as watchers to the droids in front; allowing them to see all angles of the battlefield. Overall these units are designed to be a successor to the scrapper battle droid; and like them they can be effective in the hands of a right commander or faction that knows how to use their limitations to there advantage and overcome them with its strengths to create an even more deadly army of cheap droids to be mixed in with the first version and pushed into the battlefield to overwhelm the opponent.
