[edit] Characteristics

The BT-16 came equipped with highly sensitive sensor packages, including a Fabritech seismic reader and a Carbanti motion detector. It was armed with a Taim & Bak repeating blaster cannon. The droid also featured a TranLang I communications module and a vocabulator, though it was only able to speak droid languages.

These droids were used by the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire.

The B'omarr Monks used these droids to carry brains of those who had achieved "enlightenment". The droids were occasionally equipped with vocoders, and lived in Jabba Desilijic Tiure's Palace until his death. The walkers generally went unarmed while carrying a brain, and had trouble doing anything beside walking.

[edit] Behind the scenes

It is revealed in the non-canon story Tag & Bink Are Dead that Tag Greenly and Bink Otauna are the two stormtroopers who mention the BT-16 in the conversation posted above. However, as the story itself is non-canon, so too is this information.

In Cynabar's Fantastic Technology: Droids, the picture of the BT-16 is a mirrored version of the TS-Arach Pest Control Droid image from the same guide. Because the image shows a droid with four legs instead of six, it is unlikely that to be an accurate depiction of the BT-16.
