CharacteristicsEdit

This model was equipped with a cannon arm or homing torpedo. It could be recognized due to a red circle on its left shoulder. The intelligence of this series was upgraded little from standard infantry but served as a much greater threat during direct combat, capable of creating a large blast radius with its cannon attachment.^[4] Due to their limited abilities as competent commanders, they often only led small groups of droids or guarded essential locations on the battlefield.^[3]^[5]

HistoryEdit

Early in the Clone Wars, one B2-HA series super battle droid led troops under Asajj Ventress on the moon of Rugosa. This droid was destroyed by Jedi Master Yoda during the battle.^[2]

Shortly after, another super battle droid commander was used onboard the Malevolence. An OOM command battle droid ordered the commander to destroy a rail jet using its cannon arm, almost killing Padmé Amidala. This unit was presumably destroyed along with the Malevolence when it crashed into the dead moon of Antar.^[6]

On Rodia, another super battle droid commander led droid troops to protect the city. This droid used a homing torpedo in an attempt to destroy Jar Jar Binks, mistaking him for a Jedi. This droid was destroyed, alongside his troops, by the Kwazel Maw, "Boogie".^[3] When Nute Gunray was being transported onboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer, Tranquility, another B2-HA series super battle droid led a Separatist boarding party. This droid exited a Droch-class boarding ship alongside its troops and cleared through a Republic defensive in the Tranquility's hangar with its cannon arm. It was presumably destroyed along with its troops.^[4]

A B2-HA series super battle droid served as a commander within Nashtah Team during Cad Bane's attack on the Republic outpost on the planet Devaron. The droid acted under Bounty hunter Aurra Sing during the battle as they prepared to ambush the outpost. Republic forces, however, managed to burst a nearby dam and flood the invasion force.^[5]
