Super Battle Droids, nicknamed "Supers" by Clone troopers, were an advanced version of the standard B1 Battle Droid. They were equipped with a strong, bulky exterior which made them difficult to take down, as well as a repeating blaster and a missile launcher on their arms. They are tough in combat, but vulnerable at close range. A vibroblade to the underarm was a good way to eliminate a Super Battle Droid, a stunt utilized by Clone Commanders and Commandos. They were looked up to by their B1 counterparts, who addressed them as "Boss" and "Sir", though Supers took little notice of this odd courtesy. Supers, though tough, were not much brighter than B1s, and often forget about targets who move out of their vision.
The Super Battle Droid is a minifigure similar to the Battle Droid but the head and torso are not separable. The Super Battle Droid minifigure is made of 4 parts, each exclusive to the Super Battle Droid. It is considerably bigger than both a standard Battle Droid minifigure and a Clone Trooper minifigure. Their arms are also bent inwards (however, the grasping hands are straight). They are a part of the CIS military, mainly battling large groups of Clone Troopers.
Variations
The Super Battle Droid was originally sold as an entirely blue minifigure in the Republic Gunship (7163), but has more recently appeared in a dark gray color. In 2009, three Super Battle Droids with missile launchers fitted to their left arms were released in the 2008 AAT set. The droids with these weapons are known as elites or commanders.

Notes
- The Grey version of the Super Battle Droid's arm, legs, and Plasma Gun Arm are extremely brittle. There is a high chance that the Super Battle Droid arm will break on the 3rd time it is attached to the beam on the body. There is a lesser chance of this happening with the legs.
