Description: B-2 battle droids are upgraded versions of the B-1 battle droids used by the Trade Federation during the Battle of Naboo and later used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

One of the main design flaws of the standard B-1 battle droid was its reliance on a Droid Control Ship to provide a signal; if the ship is disabled, the battle droids would become utterly useless. The super battle droid (or B-2) does not rely on such a signal and has a greater capacity for independence. Their frames are larger and more heavily armored but remain skeletal to emphasize intimidation. Blasters are mounted on their arms, but they are capable of using certain external weapons, though their large hands make it difficult for them to use smaller blasters. Due to the high cost of manufacturing a new droid, the super battle droid uses many of the same parts as the standard B-1.

Super battle droids saw use throughout the Clone Wars as soldiers for the Confederacy along with its smaller cousins and the dreaded Droideka. Though the first super battle droids seen on Geonosis wore an unpainted dull silver tone, many of the droids used in later battles of the Clone Wars were painted a metallic blue, likely to help them stand out from the red coloration the Confederacy used for its standard battle droids. Specialized Characteristics: SBDs are equipped with a built-in arm blaster and are also capable of carrying blasters
