swphreak Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 That's right, one droid. From any point in time, which would you pick? My dream choice would be a non-cyborg General Grievous droid. Just replace the organic parts with machines, make it a full droid, and then I'd slap a blaster on each of the four arms. My actual first choice would be a YVH droid. If they can take on Yuuzhan Vongs, they can take on the regular thugs of the galaxy. I'd probably slap on some cosmetic changes so it doesn't look like a skeleton.

MachineCult Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 The first droid that comes to mind is Guri, lol. But after some thought a HK, IG, Magnaguard or even a protocol droid would come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 HK-47 without a doubt. i want nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terran I Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 R2-D2 He saved many lives in both trilogies, so I think there is no better droid than R2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoiuyWired Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Depending on your definition of Droids. Guri is the obvious choice. Iron Knights. :3 Then its HK47, and artoo, and IG88, and the hard-wired droid on Inferno. If not a nice G*NK is also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Scott! Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Dang, I thought I'd be the first to say Guri... Well, Guri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Probably HK-47, he's just awesome to have a conversation with as well as his combat skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'll take 3PO. Just the fact that he can speak more languages than I can. And I wouldn't have to study for many years to learn some languages. Though, I'd make him more useful, edit his parts so he can move quicker and make his way around easier. And maybe strap on a few defensive weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Terros Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Im suprised no ones said I-Five he's probably my favourite droid out of all the EU i'm hoping he' gonna show up in the new Coruscant Nights series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Terros, what is I-five and what is Coruscant Nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 I-5YQ is a heavily modified 5YQ protocol droid. He has hidden lasers in his index fingers, a hidden compartment for smuggling, and other dothingies. I-Five appears in Shadow Hunter and the Medstar books. And Coruscant Night is a new novel written by the same guy who did Shadow Hunter and the Medstar books. So it's possible he will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Terros Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Coruscant nights is a upcoming series of books set in the Dark times its strongly rumour I-five will show up and hopefully Lorn Pavan's *I-fives former owner killed by Maul* Jedi son. As for who is I-five i'll just qoute Wookieepedia I-5YQ, or I-Five, was a wise-cracking 5YQ-series protocol droid that had his creative dampeners disabled, rendering him quasi-sentient. He possessed several unique talents, including the ability to project a variety of pitched sounds that could do everything from curing sentients' hangovers to sonically cleaning dirt off of his coverings. Also, he had the presence of mind to alter the brightness of his photoreceptors in an attempt to visually display emotions. He was owned by information broker Lorn Pavan, who treated him less like a droid and more like a business partner, and who installed several modifications for I-Five, including small lasers located in the droid's index fingers. The partnership would not last, however, as Pavan was murdered by the Sith Lord Darth Maul after the duo became involved in Trade Federation officer Hath Monchar's plot to sell details of the impending Trade Federation blockade of Naboo. Knowing that he would not survive the ordeal, Pavan entrusted I-Five to Sakiyan restaurant owner and small-time criminal Tuden Sal before his death, but was betrayed, as Sal had long coveted the droid and immediately set about reprogramming him. Years later, during the Clone Wars, I-Five showed up on Drongar, working as a medical assistant at RMSU-7. There he befriended Sullustan reporter Den Dhur, surgeons Jos Vondar and Zan Yant, nurse Tolk le Trene, and Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee. Under the tutelage of the hard-drinking Dhur, I-Five successfully got himself electronically drunk one night at the Rimsoo's cantina and managed to have one of his arms pulled out of its socket by a Wookiee. Slowly but surely, I-Five was regaining his lost memories, and by the end of the Battle of Drongar, he remembered nearly everything about his past, including a promise he had made to Lorn Pavan, which was to watch over his son who was in training as a Padawan at the Jedi Temple. Upon hearing of this, Barriss Offee gave a sample of the wonder drug bota to I-Five and ordered him to deliver it to the Temple for examination so that the droid would have a plausible excuse for shirking his medical duties. I-Five then left Drongar for Coruscant with his new friend Den Dhur by his side. There you go buddy a breif history of the awesome droid I-Five!

PoiuyWired Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 so I-5 is basically like C3PX? Or will he BECOMES C3PX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 HK is a must. If you've got some thugs pickin' on you... "Master, may I dispose of these pesky meatbags?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 T3 or R2, I can't decide. On one hand, T3 is an astromech with mad combat skills. On the otherhand R2 ****ING FLIES AROUND!!!11oneone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 and dont forget, R2 pwned 2 SBDs on his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 R2 may not be that combat oriented on average, but he is a l33t h4x0r. Speaking of which, I think I might make a poll out of this topic, the following Droids should be on it, other suggestions?? Guri HK47 R2 T3M4 C3PO I-5YQ G*NK (Just cause these guys formed a religion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 It's a tie between an astromech and a HK-type for me. Astromechs (especially R2 ) are nice. They're useful in many situations and can fit in most starfighters. An HK-type is both a bodyguard, agent to do the hard work and a protocol droid. Of course, I'd program him so that he uses "meatbag" often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 and dont forget, R2 pwned 2 SBDs on his own Oh yeah, that's right! Might have to tip my vote now in R2's favor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagru Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 If there's any droid that I'd like to have it's a YVH droid. It can take a direct hit from a starfighter and keep on going. Plus it has all the weaponry and sensors anyone could ever want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 ^^^ But not a coralskipper from Star By Star, IIRC. dntab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i dont think anything without shields can stand against a plasma round from a coralskipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagru Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 ^^^ But not a coralskipper from Star By Star, If I remember correctly. dntab Actually it took THREE direct hits from a coralskipper without fully dying. On the first shot it's slightly damaged and desides to sacrifice itself as it has become a liability to the mission. It gets hit TWO more times and still is able to direct itself into the coralskippers path and self destruct. By testing, it can take one coralskipper blast in the chest without breaching, but needs less than 24 hours to repair plus a new laminanium ingot and energy recharge.

igyman Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 To answer the original question of this thread: HK-47, of course. There's nothing better than to have your own maniacal assassin droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
