Description:
Strengths
Durability: For a battle droid they are very durable. They can take hits longer than the normal standard battle droid.
Terrain Walkers: They can easily cross most terrains (minus Mountains and lakes).
Appearance: They can install fear or baffle enemies by their look.
Weaknesses
Slow Moving: Due to their size and armour plating, they're mobility is extremely slow.
Overheating: Because of their size and slow mobility, they can overheat rather quickly if used for extended periods of time (estimated 2 hours)
The battle droid is designed to break lines of the enemy (troops and other vehicles) while allowing for it to release a steady rate of fire. It can be utilized on most planet terrains but mountains and lakes pose problems. Also, low temperatures (-25 and below) cause the droid's circuitry to freeze up; causing it to breakdown or go into a frenzy state.
The droid, though designed for battles, makes an excellent sentry droid for military installations and labs because of the droid sensors it possess.
