The size of the B2 was intimidating, and their mere presence in a Separatist force was enough to frighten civilians into compliance. Our Jedi heroes faced B2s in ground combat, during ship boardings, in the air and even underwater. They made frequent appearances throughout the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series in many a battlefield location. With a blaster mounted in their arm and a reinforced, duranium shell, the B2s could take a hit and deliver a heavy punch. The B2 super battle droid was designed as an augmentation to the countless B1s scurrying around. Known as B2 super battle droids, these brutes became a mainstay of the war and suddenly the villains had some real (not phantom) menace about them. Lucasfilm must have listened, and worked to address this error in Attack of the Clones with a bigger, better, badder battle droid.
Officially dubbed the B1 battle droid, these clankers were a big disappointment. Then we actually saw the movie, and discovered that these droids were stupid, annoying and pretty easy to beat. When the first trailers for Phantom Menace appeared in theatres, awed fans saw the legions of battle droids as a cool successor to stormtroopers.
