Super Battle Droids are an upgraded version of the B1 Battle Droid, created by the Baktoid Combat Automata, an offshoot of the Techno Union. Known improvements include thicker armor plating and built in wrist blasters, other variants had built in rocket launchers. In addition to the upgraded B1 battle droids, they also didn’t required a command system to operate, giving them limited independence. They were also much stronger than their predecessors, able to swat B1s away and lift Clone Troopers off the ground with ease. However, their limited independence was a shortcoming, as it couldn't allow the droids to formulate strategies. Because of this, they forced to relay on organic commanders or tactical droids to operate effectively.
