I wonder if the Tri-Droids having Bio-Weapons inside them was a veiled reference to the Martian Tripods of 'War of the Worlds' also using a gaseous bio-weapon.
Literally my first thought upon hearing about it (well actually was thinking of something else but something that was very clearly based off them: giant robotic walkers armed with both battling guns and pods that contained poison gas, launching them into the battlefield and killing everything, even plant life)
That’s what my thoughts were I remember hearing how Droidekas weren’t used very often despite how impressive they were because they obviously aren’t cheap (which was the biggest appeal of the B1s). And give the *massive* size of these things they would’ve been very costly to build, so naturally they only had a limited amount of them
@@sethb3090 Do you mean catapults? Yes, catapults are accepted within SW's space war doctrines. As well as sticks and stones. Some of the best SW armies are equipped that way.
I love how Star Wars goes the extra mile to explain the origins of its creations. Especially how they are usually based on a creature, from the creator species’, home world.
Definitely one of my all time favorite droid designs, but I think the main appeal to me is how they constantly rotate their weapons after firing; just gives them a very dynamic effect that just looks cool to me As for their rarity I’m guessing it’s because they were very expensive. Their size alone would’ve made them very costly to build! Criminally underrated and definitely a crime we didn’t get to see more of them. An episode featuring their virus abilities would’ve been very interesting to see too!
@@haraldtopflerAnd he literally mentions at 8:38 how they were said to be the original Tri-Droids, and that they're kinda rare, they only show up on Utapau in Episode 3 and on Coruscant during the Clone Wars miniseries and associated media, and those 2 other battles on Mikaster and that other planet
Yes, thanks for the criticism bois lol. Also the Magna Droids are the only ones who appear in Clone Wars based Empire at War mods, most notably Fall of the Republic. Combat droids needs more love lol
@@dmann5938 Unironically same, the Combat Tri-Droids and those big ass Banking Clan space stations that look like towers are so underused in general, I think those space stations would be awesome to build as the Seppies in Empire at War
@@ChrisVillagomez well there’s this other Clone Wars mod where the Banking Clan gun platform and the Magna Tri-Droid appears. However they stopped updating that mod. I just hope that Corey Loses, the one who made FoTR and Thrawn’s Revenge implements the Combat Tri-Droid because I know that the Manga droid appears in that but not the IGBC platform
I like the tri droid cause it's more of an automated vehicle like the Snail droid. A much better armored unit than the AAT which had a big weakness, the crew.
Tri-droids being based on civilian models and having mini-warcrimes does have a bit of sense to it. They probably removed something and replaced it with a gas dispersal system that had some extra omph. Similar to the false surrender of the other side. Great video 👏🏻
The magna tri-droids only appeared so easy to destroy because literally every appearance of them showed them being taken out by the literal chosen one.
A useful droid but at the same time rather impractical as it’s only real use would be in dire environments that would better protect it from stronger weapons where the enemy is limited on their ability to fight back
This would have been really good at picking out ranks. Though the plagued feature is usefull for taking out clones that kill it from its blind spot, combining it with what is essentially a sniper vehicle makes for a miserable application. Also the fact that it's so tall makes it an even bigger target.
@@lerneanlion ive only made some anime ww2 ones before for shits and giggles that i have posted on yt atm but ight ill start making an AT AT on tonight or tmr
Their price is always a good assumption on why certain CIS droids aren't used much, I mean, especially with the price for the viruses, and transportation. But also, I can see them being hard to just randomly deploy on the batlefield without preparations.
So, basically this is a Skakoan Robot Dog - with fricking laser beams? But I guess "War Crime Walkers" also has a ring to it. Not a nice one, but certainly one.
after I saw the rocket truthers variants it felt like they should have been the standard. it almost feels like these Droids are meant to be a paratrooper something the CIS seemed to lack.
Octuptarra tri droid, for all their manoeuvrability, massed deadly powerful weaponry and varied types they were able to deploy on the battlefield and able to react quickly to any threats. They are glaringly vulnerable to long ranged artillery, due to their massive size making them a prime target and to rocket propelled rockets or lightsabers when it came to taking out a leg and crippling it in one stroke.
No, I feel like rhe Octupara droid should replace the Homing Spider Droid as a whole. Homing Spider Droids are impractical as hell. The slightest breach in its armor will cause it to explode violently.
With their all terrain capabilities and a variety of load-outs, and the smaller versions, I could see these being used by clever commanders in rough terrain warfare against republic defence and clone forces. Or early imperial troops in the post-war conflicts. I wouldn't rate them on open terrain very well being so tall, probably makes them easy to pick off with AT-TE mass drivers. So perhaps a more niche tool for most battles over more standard walkers and hover tanks the setting tends to stick too.
I wish we got lego trideoids. Wouldn’t be too hard to design them…Then again the greedy bastards at lego would over price it…So maybe we’re better off with out it.
First of all this is fiction, so it didn't happen. Secundo, heavier weapons tend to be more expensive and even fictional armies must comply to this universal law.
Impressive equipment . However, I ask future generations, do you exist to serve machines of A.I. or are they to serve you a utopia . The power is in your choices today . Edited bit: Now I'll go to my microwave and wish it could do what star trek machines could . Monsanto you suck .

It's also a CRIME that they weren't a Vehicle you could get into in Star Wars Battlefront 2 plus the Spider Walker

There scarcity is likely due to their high price tag. The CIS like to use swarm tactics and these droids cost twice as much as an AAT.
That’s what my thoughts were

Same. They’re so cool!
Really hope these get brought into legion soon, would love to have such an interesting center piece model in my army

The tri-droid could have potentially turned the war had they been more widely used

Or mace windu. 2 of the most powerful Jedi besides Yoda. Not a fair match against these giant walking ball heads.
I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't see much of the chemical weapons of the CIS like Dioxin grenades and missiles.
