Yeah, they're very expensive, the Separatists only had a few hundred of them in their army throughout the clone wars, because the price of just one Droideka was roughly the same amount as the cost of producing 200 B1 Battle droids Their manufacturers were very eccentric too, some days they arbitrarily decided that they didn't want to be paid in credits and they'd ask to be paid in gungan tongues or some other type of rare meat.

Grievous treats them like punching bags and slaves rather then foot soldiers. Grievous: stupid battle droid wait until i deal with you on Uthapa. Me: why you take this guy for? Battle droid 1: because he’s bigger. Super battle droid: he’s bigger? Battle droid 2 :when he uses to be… Battle droids : little! General grievous: what are you staring at me for?!

I don't want to be that guy, but if I remember, the battle droids were cheap to produce. which in my mind makes it funnier because he can always get a replacement to abuse
Actually in the Utapau arc we would’ve had another Anakin and Grievous encounter and yes Grievous actually sees him for the first time without any droids in his way
Grievous was Sidious’ way of slowly picking off the Jedi Order with the express notion that the Council wouldn’t be stupid enough to send the Chosen One off to face down the Galaxy’s resident Jedi Hunter, they would send supposedly experienced masters instead, so Sidious got his apprentice AND wiped out a serious chunk of the Jedi Order pre-66, a double win. He just didn’t allow for Kenobi even Yoda to a degree that was a strategic blunder. As a by-product, Grievous and Obi-Wan became well acquainted.
They never met. They had encounters but it was never a formal meeting. They've both seen holograms of each other though. Anakin and Grievous were near each other in space, during the Gungan episode where Grievous was defeated, except Grievous couldn't see him properly, and Anakin was unconious, and than finally during the Uatpau Arc, where Anakin was looking ahead and didn't see him, and Grievous was probably not paying attention to him since Obi-Wan was mocking him.
I have to sympathize- what kind of soldier responds to an equipment status check with "I don't know I haven't used it yet!" in a snotty voice? That's asking for it.
It’s basically Matthew wood talking to himself because he voices grievous and the droids Just like how Dee Bradley baker talks to himself as the clones
Unlike Obi-Wan and Anakin, who treat those the clones like they’re closest friends and brother figures . Grievous treated those droids like they’re his unworthy slaves getting ready to meet their permanently dismissals.
The battle droids were often portrayed as rather simple-minded and played for laughs in the animated series, but I think they were genuinely terrifying in the vast numbers shown in the prequel trilogy. Not to mention that they are easily smarter and more competent than a lot of people nowadays.
I like to imagine that droid the grevious took out is the same one every single time. What a grevious life it would be for a droid if he get rebuilt each time only to be abused by his boss again
Anyone else find such humor in that scene in which Dooku tells Grievous not to destroy B-1s out of anger as they are "Expensive?" If that's the case, then Dooku is an old fool falling into a price gouging trap.🤣🤣🤣
You know what General Grevious has? Anger issues. All he has is extremely super aggressive anger issues. I find it a little bit funny whenever he’s takes it out on the battle droids. But I still feel bad for the battle droids, no matter how funny they can be.

He's actually the smart one, they're almost there, and he can recharge and catch up 😂
We ArE.. sIr.. ThErE.. AlMoSt
(They were all fine, I would never hurt my precious robo babies
You're only hard on them because you know they're capable of doing better, but the love is still there. roger roger.
Awwwww
Really? Let's see...you tore ones head, let 16 loose all battery, threw one off a bridge just because he said obi-wan was impressive, slapped one because he was a bit like a stormtrooper, I could go on and on...welp, time to file a court marshal....oh wait your don't have any type of court marshal system...oh well, not my problem.
Grievous’ droid smacking back hand literally takes their heads off lol.
Good old pimp-slap
I really love how the droids became so lacking in memory wipes and constantly having their programming updated they literally developed sentience
Count Dooku: Grevious, those battle droids are expensive
Grevious: IDC
I don't want to be that guy, but if I remember, the battle droids were cheap to produce. which in my mind makes it funnier because he can always get a replacement to abuse
Its funny because in CW Anakin only met Grievous once and even then it was briefly but Obi-wan cant go an episode without hearing “Ah general Kenobi~”
Actually in the Utapau arc we would’ve had another Anakin and Grievous encounter and yes Grievous actually sees him for the first time without any droids in his way
Grievous was Sidious’ way of slowly picking off the Jedi Order with the express notion that the Council wouldn’t be stupid enough to send the Chosen One off to face down the Galaxy’s resident Jedi Hunter, they would send supposedly experienced masters instead, so Sidious got his apprentice AND wiped out a serious chunk of the Jedi Order pre-66, a double win. He just didn’t allow for Kenobi even Yoda to a degree that was a strategic blunder. As a by-product, Grievous and Obi-Wan became well acquainted.
They never met. They had encounters but it was never a formal meeting. They've both seen holograms of each other though. Anakin and Grievous were near each other in space, during the Gungan episode where Grievous was defeated, except Grievous couldn't see him properly, and Anakin was unconious, and than finally during the Uatpau Arc, where Anakin was looking ahead and didn't see him, and Grievous was probably not paying attention to him since Obi-Wan was mocking him.
1:27 the one that just read him the directions and sounded perfectly fine immediately loses power right afterwards
Their batteries are probably from apple
Grievous was a brilliant general and tactician cursed with a very low intelligence military to lead. I suppose I can understand his frustration
I freaking love General Grievous
2:13 dat laugh tho
Press F to pay your respect to the unfortunate droids who suffered Grievous fury and anger

1:41 Grievous: Stupid Battle Droids.
Imagine how dark and messed up this would be if these scenes involved humans instead of droids
0:16 such a wholesome grevious moment, the happy music of him doing something great
0:45
" If you would allow us to close down for a few- OH MY GO- "
*gets cut in half*
" Any more complaints? "
"Uhhh... NO!"
"no!"
"No."
"nO."
"I Don't think so..."
@Ethan Schmid "... Yiiikes!"
Oh my god theres a full conversation in here-
@Julian Vaul is your transmitter working?
@Julian Vaul Ow! Alright, I'll check on it!
I have to sympathize- what kind of soldier responds to an equipment status check with "I don't know I haven't used it yet!" in a snotty voice? That's asking for it.
yeah, better not tell your commander the truth, might hurt his snowflake feelings.
@@scottmatheson3346 thats not how military operations work.....
It’s basically Matthew wood talking to himself because he voices grievous and the droids
Just like how Dee Bradley baker talks to himself as the clones
Battle droids: *warn Grievous that they’re running out of power*
Battle droids: *run out of power*
Grievous: •o•
i love how grievous hardly talks in any of these, just grunts and punches their heads off
Grievous rolling his eyes at the droids moaning as they walked was the funniest part of this video
Battle Droids in the Clone Wars are hysterical, but I also kinda feel bad for Grevious since he's surrounded by idiots basically
Unlike Obi-Wan and Anakin, who treat those the clones like they’re closest friends and brother figures . Grievous treated those droids like they’re his unworthy slaves getting ready to meet their permanently dismissals.
Unless that escape pod did not have room for two, that was a really scummy move lmao 0:26
Lmao
Yea but griveous is known for being scummy
😆
0:25
0:22 HEY
Haha the last video was just sad hahaha, other droid got knocked out instead of the one talking haha
The battle droids were often portrayed as rather simple-minded and played for laughs in the animated series, but I think they were genuinely terrifying in the vast numbers shown in the prequel trilogy. Not to mention that they are easily smarter and more competent than a lot of people nowadays.
To quote The Simpsons: “Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?”
0:36 Not this again! How could your power cells be so depleted?!
*BATTLE DROID:* You would not let us ride on one of those creatures with you, sir. If you would allow us to close down for a few-- *_OH MY GO--!_*
@@lancecurry7538 Anymore complains?
@@Rover259Wild Nope. I don’t think so.
@@clayton4887 that's what I thought! now let's find that pod!
@@Rover259Wild Yikes.
I like to imagine that droid the grevious took out is the same one every single time. What a grevious life it would be for a droid if he get rebuilt each time only to be abused by his boss again
A grevious life indeed...
I love the lung cancer growl every time he swings at one
“Is your transmitter working yet?” “I don’t know, I haven’t used it ye-“ *wack*
1:32
All right, I’ll check on it!
Best scene lmfaoooo
These droids have a lot more sass in here than in the movies 😂
Man there aren't enough words to describe how much fun and how much I love Grievous interact with his droid army
This is on people’s recommended congratulations
This was one of general, Grevious‘s favorite pastimes, along with collecting light sabers
The episode where the Droid were running low on power were comedy gold
He treats them like punching bag slaves rather than his only reinforcements.
1:44 makes me laugh so hard everytime. He didnt had to punch both of them but he just hates them
Anyone else find such humor in that scene in which Dooku tells Grievous not to destroy B-1s out of anger as they are "Expensive?" If that's the case, then Dooku is an old fool falling into a price gouging trap.🤣🤣🤣
You know what General Grevious has? Anger issues. All he has is extremely super aggressive anger issues. I find it a little bit funny whenever he’s takes it out on the battle droids. But I still feel bad for the battle droids, no matter how funny they can be.
Haha! Clankers go boom!
"is your transmitter working?"
"I don't know, I haven't used it yet"
Give me a battle droid army right now, I'd be dying of laughter on every mission
This is the perfect video explaining gym teachers versus students
1:43 he just running there wrecking them for no reason 😂😂😂
I saw that as well lmao
Ship was rigged for destruction by Obi Wan,if only he didn't literally reveal it to Grievous by a hologram,he would have been a goner.
Those droids have more personality than most people I know.
0:26 when I take my Younger Siblings Trick or Treating and they are whining that they are tired, after only 18 City blocks
I’m starting to think that after “The Rise of Skywalker” that Every Droid just Goes “Fuck it” and decides to take I’ve the Galaxy
man i loved the battle droids i always had some pity for them
0:26
i freaking love that scene😊😁✨❤️
i love how he rolls his eyes bc of how stupid
the battle droids r lol❤️❤️
i love grievous☺️
I laughed so hard at 1:34, battle droid responding, "I dont know, I haven't used it yet"
Everyday dozens of battle droids get abused and left to be expendable, but you can help
Donate 5 credits to help a battle Droid
bro he literally still punched him as he saluted him and said SIR!😂😂😂😂
I swear at this point grievous must have killed more B1 droids than clones
If I started a complaint department, I'm taking me queues from Grievous.
Droid: "Speaks back to Grevious*
Grevious: "So you have chosen death."
Battle droid: *brings up a logical and clever point*
Grievous: oof don’t like that.
Hey Hey Hey watch it!
Battle Droids have souls
It's the Star Wars equivalent of people yelling at or destroying their computers.
Obviously, Gen Grievous owns a home gaming system...
I would like to believe that if Grievous actually took care of his battle droid troops, he would've stood a better chance against the Jedi lol
clone wars grievous is insanely cool and sometimes even funny lmao xD
I see my favorite General still finds the lack of faith in the droids disturbing.
0:55 he almost decapitated that animal by spinning the lightsaber lmao.
1:29 the sound it makes hitting the ground 😭😭
Gotta give the Jedi credit, they treat there soldiers with respect.
*cough* Krell *cough*
@firewarrior8298 Well he was a traitor so no.
Only general greivus could recharge his battle droids with fear
I would love to have a battle droid, the way they sound and speak is funny and entertaining to me 😂
The droid who sassed Grevious with the “Idk I haven’t used it yet” got off easy
Battle Droids? More like metal punching bags. XD
I like how the droids are saying more than just Rodger Rodger or negative Negative
