At this point in time with all that has been announced we have:

IG-88

Probe Droids

R2-D2 and by association R2 units

C-3PO and by association 3PO units

2-1B Droid Hero

HK Assassin Droids.

What else can we expect to see? I figure that at some point once Rebels content is added to the game we will get Chopper and by association C-1P droids, but what else? What are the chances do you think that we will gain scum faction R5, R4, or GNK droids to the game?

The R5 and R4 droids could be a cheap unit that could boost the ability to cycle through your command deck as R2 is in skirmish, or even be used to increase the difficulty of Strength, Perception, or Tech checks in the campaign. Heck R5, R4, and GNK droids could potentially be used as a sort of portable cover, which I think would open them up to quite a few possibilities for both players of the campaign and skirmish game.

If Chopper makes it into this game I'm going to flip my lid, I love that droid and his penchant for murdering other droids.

Based on x-wing, I would love some rebels themed love. Chopper is hilarious and sociopathic.

Chopper is my one of my favorite characters in Star Wars. Up there with Boba Fett and Qui Gon.

As far as droids I'd like to see (besides Chopper) I'd like to see Gonk Droids, because they're awesome.

Generic IG droids could be cool, though unlikely given we have HK droids.

Magna guards could be need scum units too. (They recently made an appearance under the control of a Hutt in Marvel Star Wars #9 SPOILER IMAGE HERE ).

4-LOM

BB-8

Droidekas were still a thing during the Empire era.

I'd be surprised if they don't do interrogation/torture droids, I imagine them as a probe droid alternative that sacrifices damage for afflicting conditions.

Guy can dream.

For Droidekas I could seem them being like the E-web gunner, but when they do move, they move fast. Add on top of that their shield, be it giving them 2 defense dice or through some ability that increases their defense the turn they attack. Ok, just thinking about it makes me want them even more.

the new deadly droids from the DARTH comic!...awesome!!!

4LOM is pretty much a given.

0-0-0 and BT-1. Yes Please.

Hopefully we can get some prequel content down the line. Who knows.

Adding in two new factions; Republic and Seperatist.

The Seperatists would be the "Imperial Player", and the Republic would be Clone/Jedi/Smuggler/Etc heroes who go on missions.

PT characters would turn up as allies and villains in the same way the OT ones do in current Imperial Assault.

I could see this working if FFG put as much effort into the campaign mode as they did in the Core/Twin Shadows campaigns.

20 years from now we'll look back at the prequels with nostalgia and like them.

FFG has already said no Prequel content. Plus the game would require a 100% overhaul to make it Clone Wars era.

Anyways, this topic is about droids. Not Prequel-era (we got enough of those topics already.)

No. We won't.

lando with lobot!....mmi! (mind machine interface)

If one of those HK's is allowed to be HK47 i'll be in love.

Really, Chopper is the lovechild of 47 and R2 anyway, he's even got the rust red colour and temperament!

Though in campaign mode, i'll be playing HK quotes on youtube every time I activate him... bwahahha.

Reprogrammed CIS droids would be cool for scum options.

MSE-6 Series Repair Droids!

I could kind of see B1 battle droids in the game for Scum, seeing as there were so many of them I doubt the Empire melted all of them down before some pirates or warlords snatched up a few hundred or more. Maybe they would look something like:

B1 Battle Droid:

Deployment Cost: 5

Reinforcement cost: 2

Activation Group: 4

Surge Abilities: +1 Damage, +1 Accuracy

Health: 2

Speed: 4

Defense: White

Attack: Green, Green

Maybe giving them abilities that hinder them like preventing them from being able to use Evades or being unable to be focused. Of course they could be given the same ability as the Hired Gun where they are unable to roll Dodges, but I think something different would be nice.

The idea being that it gives the scum a large activation group that can be powerful in numbers but will generally lose a piece whenever it is attacked. Which would bring to question when to activate them at the beginning so that they are at full force or near the end of the round where they may have better targets but may have lost their punch. Granted if someone were to fill their entire skirmish list with them then they would have 32 of the droids to take out, but considering that they would be very weak to both cleave and blast, and not to mention the general nature of them dying with a single attack I don't think it would make them too powerful.
