I recently found info on one droid that was planned to be in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and no one has seen it in there yet. The droid's name is IG-88. An assassin droid. This droid was made out of scrap pieces from objects in Star Wars: A New Hope. The droid's character history: The technitions who designed and created the droid gave it too much creativity and intelligence. They paid for that big time! The second it activated, this droid identified it's technitions in the room as threats and destroyed them all in "novel and bloody ways". It then duplicated itself 5 times and created IG-88A, B, C, and D. IG-72 was the fifth duplicate and struck off on his own. These assassin droids killed every single planner of the IG series so they couldnt exploit their design flaws. If I remember right, the IG-88 had a built in blaster and cutting laser built into the arms (for emergency), concussion grenade launchers, flamethrower, 10 to 20 heat and motion sensors all over the bottle-shaped head, acid-proof wires, and an ability to dramaticly increase its own heat to burn through nets.

That is probbably my favorite part of episode 2 ! By the way, in Earth terms, the 'floating craft' featured in that scene is called a convertible hovercar or hovercraft as some people might call it. most people say airship, spaceship, or, as you called it, floating craft. these are just suggestions. say what you want. its a free world ;D.

Hmmmmmmmm....... ................. Maybe he jumped in Episode 1. I remember something......... Anyway I just thought I would tell you about another droid. The DSD-1 Dwarf Spider Droid. My favorite droid of all. It was in Episodes 2 and 3. The DSD1 was similar in function to a typical combat vehicle. It was also used to punish customers who had declined to pay their taxes to the Commerce Guild. Its main weapon was a long central blaster cannon mounted on its dome. The droid's small frame and four all-terrain legs made it suitable for warfare in dangerous mines. However, because of the fixed laser cannon, it could not turn around to track enemies, thus making it inferior to speedy targets. Also, the length of this cannon sometimes hindered it in confined areas, a weakness exploited by Anakin Skywalker on Escarte. The droid was capable of communicating in a beeping language similar to Binary. It also seemed to have basic emotions, such as frustration, as demonstrated on Escarte. [glow=blue,2,300]History:[/glow] During the Clone Wars, dwarf spider droids were used on the frontline, in front of platoons of battle droids and other Separatist droids. The dwarf spider droid also worked in conjunction with the larger OG-9 homing spider droid and could operate as an armored scout exploring the battlefields. Infrared photoreceptors and powerful scanners enabled the droid to survey the terrain and relay target data back to the Homing spider droid. When it identified a target, it sent a tracking message to the homing spider droid, which then moved toward the signal to deliever the killing blow. It also featured a self-destruct mechanism. If a clone unit moved in to destroy the droid, it would normally self-destruct, destroying any enemy around it. Several variants of the dwarf spider droid saw action during the wars, including an amphibous model equipped with a larger gun and two heavily armored variants—the heavy dwarf spider droid and the advanced dwarf spider droid. This type participated in a number of conflicts during the Clone Wars. One of those conflicts was the Battle of Kashyyyk, where it was used to counter the Republic's All Terrain Recon Transport units. Though most Separatist war vehicles were deactivated after the end of the Clone Wars, the dwarf spider droids were used by the Galactic Empire to enforce the submission of former Separatist worlds. They would remain utilized throughout the Empire's reign, and it was not uncommon to see these droids alongside stormtroopers at Imperial checkpoints.

Got another droid. If you look at the post about the DSD-1 Dwarf Spider Droid, you will also see that it talks about the OG-9 Homing Spider Droid. And here it is: Like the Republic's Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery walkers, it was effective against both ground-based and airborne targets and was designed to transport a large and devastating weapon throughout the battlefield. The homing spider droid's round, armored body contained a volatile reactor. If the core was breached, the reactor violently exploded. The homing spider could cover wide areas of the battlefield with its four all-terrain legs. Because of its great height and extendable hydraulics, the walker could position its homing laser above enemy targets or move to higher ground to blast at air vehicles. However, the legs were vulnerable to damage, and if just one hydraulic leg was disabled, the entire vehicle would crash to the ground. Despite its weaknesses, the homing spider could walk along the bottom of seabeds, fully submerged in water, as well as scale steep cliffs. The spider walker's chief weapon was a laser emplacement mounted below the droid's round body. This circular dish fired a precision homing laser that could be maintained until the drone's internal power supply was finished. This sustained firepower allowed the homing spider to weaken shields, destroy armored vehicles and sycthe down troop formations. An antipersonnel cannon above the walker's round body could be used for close-quarters combat, while a retractable ion cannon could be added to disable starships or other powerful vehicles. There were also weapon mounts that allowed other armaments to be fixed to the droid. Sensor equipment fitted into the homing spider, enabled it to target and keep track of moving enemy targets. Homing spider droids were distinguished by a number code alone and did not have developed personalities of long-term memory modules. Instead, they possessed an internal logic processor and military protocols for long-ranged missions, but the droids were often programmed to receive orders directly from a central control computer. [glow=blue,2,300]History:[/glow] The homing spider droid was developed by Baktoid Armor Workshop prior to its dissolution by the Trade Federation not long after the Invasion of Naboo. During Baktoid's final days, the company tried to sell many of its designs, and the Commerce Guild purchased several droid models including the spider walker. Like the other combat automata deployed by the Commerce Guild, the homing spider droids were originally developed to enforce the Guild's laws and to ensure that its customers paid their debts. The homing spider droid first appeared during the Battle of Geonosis in the service of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, where spider droids such as unit 81 fought against the Grand Army of the Republic. During that battle, they provided protection for Trade Federation Lucrehulk-class core ships, although they were subdued by LAAT/i strikes. After Geonosis, homing spider droids became common staples of Confederate armies. A number of droids were used in the defense of the Commerce Guild world of Felucia. Following the execution of the Separatist Council by Darth Sidious's new apprentice, Darth Vader, these units were de-activated.

Next time I have to look closer, because I mostly saw the dinosaur-looking bounty hunter. Thats probably what caught my attention more than the IG-88 and the other ones.
