_{This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.}

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]

Fiction

Legions of battle droids are known to have participated in a multitude of battles, including fighting against Obi-Wan Kenobi^[1], Clone Troopers and Clone Gunships on the planet Geonosis^[5], defending the InterGalactic Banking Clan headquarters against clone forces on the planet Muunilinst^[6], and clashing with Jedi Master Saesee Tiin on his unnamed home planet.^[7] It is unknown how any of these battles ended.

• Battle Droid to AAT (2009)
  • Accessories: Main cannon/gun, missile, 2 side-guns/pistols

Released in the sixth wave of Transformers: Crossovers toys, the Battle Droid transforms from a robot into an AAT painted up in the blue Confederacy deco from The Clone Wars cartoon. The tank's main cannon is a firing missile launcher (with the barrel itself being the missile), and detaches to become a handheld gun in robot mode. Additionally, the two small side guns are also detachable and can be used as pistols. It has an opening hatch for a minifigure although it doesn't come with one.
