Super Battle Droid The Super Battle Droid is a Star Wars minifigure . It is an advanced version of the standard B1 Battle Droid . Description . The Super Battle Droid stands taller than most other minifigures . It consists of a single piece for the torso , a single piece for the legs , and two parts for the arms . All sections but the leg part are exclusive to the minifigure , as its unique design cannot be matched by standard components . Three variants were made , each one differing very slightly from the last . The first Super Battle Droid was released in 2002 and was coloured metallic pearl blue . The torso wss large and wedge - shaped with four horizontal grooves on the lower half . The upper half is smooth and slightly rounded . The " head " of the droid does not stick out or protrude like minifigure or normal battle droid heads ; rather , it sits at shoulder level , with no neck . Two slightly raised sections near the shoulders flank the head . The arms are identical and have two grips , one one each side , with a circular section representing a hinge near the middle . This immobile " hinge " is closer to one end than the other , depicting a shorter upper arm than the forearm . The forearm is narrow near the front grip and widens as it approaches the hinge . A small tube is located on the arm , representing the arm - mounted repeating blaster with which the droids are equipped . The legs and feet consist of a single piece . The legs are narrow from the front , have square - like calves and have one joint at the knee ; however , the feet are connected at the bottom and the knee joints are immobile , allowing for only the limited movement of bending at the waist . The second variant was released in 2007 and differed from the original in that while the first version was metallic pearl blue , this new variant was metallic dark grey . The third and as of yet last version released was introduced in 2009 . This , too , was very similar to its predecessor . The difference is in the left arm : instead of the standard small blaster , the forearm " is " the gun . At the elbow joint the arm becomes cylindrical and extends farther than the other one representing the rocket launcher some special Super Battle Droid models possess . Video Game Variants . In the Game Boy Advance version of " " , the Super Battle Droid is present in the game , which is based on the physical variants , but green instead of blue or grey . For console versions of " LEGO Star Wars : The Video Game " , as well as for " " and " " , the Super Battle Droid is a based on the Super Battle Droid ' s first physical variant . It has the ability to shoot but is unable to jump . If the " Self Destruct " extra is activated by purchasing its corresponding power brick , the droid also has the ability to blow itself up . The Super Battle Droid returns in " " as a grey version , and retains its abilities from the previous games . Also in " LEGO Star Wars III : The Clone Wars " , golden versions can be found throughout levels , called " Golden Super Battle Droids " . Once these droids are built in the level , they can assist the player throughout the mission . Background . B2 Super Battle Droids were a key part of the CIS military . They were specialized battle droids encased in thick shells of armour and equipped with heavy weapons . Their strong , bulky exterior made them difficult to take down . That , coupled with their wrist - mounted repeating blasters and missile launchers , made them extremely valuable on the battlefield . It also made them rather expensive to create , which is why they were never mass - produced in numbers rivaling the more basic B1s . Unlike their less powerful counterparts , which often served other functions like that of a pilot , B2s were designed for combat and nothing else . B2s rarely , if ever , spoke , and marched on the front lines , often acting as shields for the B1s behind them . They were known to destroy everything in their path , including other droids , to reach their quarry . They were occasionally painted in camouflage for dense jungle planets and were sometimes modified to carry heavy missile launchers . Super Battle Droids were utilized by the CIS at all points in the Clone Wars from beginning to end .
