[List of appearances]

Droidekas, also known as Destroyer Droids, nicknamed "Rollies" by Clone Troopers were LEGO Minifigures in the Star Wars LEGO theme. They were not made in the usual style of Minifigures, but made of many different parts.

Droidekas were used by the Trade Federation and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems to match their strongest enemies, including Jedi. They were used since the creation of battle droids, but were fewer in number since each had the ability to activate a shield generator and shoot rapid-fire blasts, and as a result were more expensive to manufacture.

In addition to being able to deploy blaster shields and repeater blasters, droidekas were able to roll into spheres to move across the battlefield faster. Their shield generator could only be penetrated by slow moving objects, so blaster shots would be deflected.

In the game LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, the older model of the Droideka is seen instead of the 2007 version.

Variations

In a 2007 set (7662 Trade Federation MTT), there was a new variation released, including a smoother design and red-brown pieces.

There was also a Technic version of the droideka.
