#BattleDroids
To make a wacky long story short, FASA, the original makers of the fightin' robut game BattleTech (Battledroids at the time) um, misappropriated a bunch of designs of robuts from really neat Japanese shows. Primarily Macross, Dougram, and Crusher Joe.

To be fair, I did the same thing alla the time.

Also, the Lucrehulk Class Droid Controll ship is classified as a warship with the primary occupants being Battledroids, you know, weapons of war, with a small contingent of navigtors and delegates.

And Luke got a higher kill count with the death star and no one says this about him.

Prequels revisionism has come round again, so heres my take - As movies theyre mid but as the cornerstones of a multimedia empire theyre amazing. Its good for the brand that podracing exists. All the battledroids are amazing fodder to cut down in video games.

that was a Battledroids vs Battletech combat for real!
Really lucky we had one legacy model and one modern model of each 🩷 And all painted!

Who knew that having a droid fleet would be so satisfying. Everyone. Everyone knew. #starwarsarmada #battledroids #wattambor

SAAAAME it was greaaaaat!! honestly i dont think i woulda liked multiplayer, but coop bot matches w a sibling were awesome. clones v battledroids was especially great because it wasn't very balanced i think and getting a win as clones against harder bots made young gal and co feel SO victorious

Oooh, I wasn't thinking of BattleTech as an RPG, because that one would definitely be in the mix. (Though when we first played it the game was still called Battledroids, IIRC.) And if that counts, then Car Wars would be high on that list, too.

Gods, B1 battledroids are hot as fuck

I wish there was more art of them

Today's #battletech #mechtober topic is protomechs. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about them. So instead I'm going to post about my all-time favourite, the legendary Marauder! I know it's not exactly an original choice. I'll be taking no criticism for being 'basic' at this time.

Does not having Hurts on the field just make the whole team shut down like the battledroids in episode 1

only one has existed the entire existence of Battletech.

(And note I said Battletech, not Battledroids).

I do miss my gay battledroids.
5 — Gary & Bob

Tragic comedy characters. Gary (the little robot) is a delusional maniac who copes with being abandoned by his creators by hyping himself up as some great and free bounty hunter.

Bob copes with the same problem by giving himself the purpose of enabling and protecting Gary -

One of the 1/144 kits that FASA acquired and sold alongside Battledroids BitD? It's on a 40mm square base I think which suggests it's larger than Battletech white metal stuff.

Another older Star Wars set I dug up and built. 75234 AT-AP Walker (2019). 3rd version released of this self-propelled artillery piece equivalent.
It comes with Chewbacca, 41st Elite Corps Scout Trooper, Commander Gree, and 2 Kashyyk Battledroids.
3rd leg is for stabilization while shelling enemies.

...Oh no Chat, why are the battledroids hot??

Can't shake the feeling that Zero Company has been made specifically and exclusively for me :3
Star Wars Clone Wars
Alt: Captain Fordo being an absolute badass, tearing through battledroids like the Doomguy. Battle of Coruscant, 19 BBY, colorized. (Star Wars Clone Wars)

I guess they did it to themselves. Those Battledroids are famously clumsy.

11. Mace Windu
Clairement établi comme un prodige, avec de nombreux records Jedi de prouesses physiques, une puissance énorme, le meilleur pur combattant et un pouvoir spécifique (les points de rupture), adapté à affronter le côté obscur. Un très très gros morceau, l’un des meilleurs de son époque.
Mace Windu Galactic Republic
Alt: Mace Windu emblematic fight against a droid army in Clone Wars (2003). After an amazing jump, he launches a Force wave, destroys super battledroids with bare hands and his Force powers

Destroyer and Super Battledroids remain some of my favorite robots ever. Naboo fighters are just gorgeous. General Grievous is a HELL of a character design. Great shit is in there, and the bevy of excellent material across mediums based on those ideas proves it.

Star Wars Zero Company is a high stakes, serious game, about complex matters. Which falls apart when B1 Battledroids from The Phantom Menace show up.

Recent Legoting, the 75337 AT-TE Walker from 2022, an Episode III set. Includes Commander Cody, Clone Gunner, three 212th Attack Battalion Clones, three Battledroids, and a Dwarf Spider Droid.
AT-TE feels about the same size as previous ones.
Has a handle, and I wonder if it's Dropship compatible.

it's only after reading the difficulties again that "normal" is described as "ideal for players new to tactical games". i will say having a gunslinger one shot like 4 battledroids in one turn with a "refund the AP if you kill a dude with this" ability is very satisfying.
