Battle droids are war robots manufactured by the Separatists[1] and part of the droid army led by General Grievous[2]. Their name implies that they are mindless drones, but this is unconfirmed—all that is known about them is that they come in great numbers, with waves and waves of battle droids easily swarming their Republic and Jedi enemies during battle.[3] Although comparatively powerful, battle droids are seemingly overwhelmed whenever their foes bring out their transforming mechs.[1][3] Some of them, however, have their own transformation abilities—these battle droids are enormous robots that take the shape of mighty Armored Assault Tanks.[4]
