HK-42
Grievous II
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Once the heavy amount of specialized Battle Droids was produced, a standard trooper was needed. Something to outclass the B1, but remain outclassed by the B2. Thus, the B3 heavy Battle Droid was made. This took a newly designed B1 Battle Droid Appearance and put it on a thicker frame. It still has to carry a blaster rifle, but this rifle is capable of being a heavier hitter than the standard E-5 Blaster Rifle. The targeting computer and core processor was upgraded, making the droid smarter and more accurate than its B1 Baby Brother. The only issues that were found when testing the droids, were that it was more susceptible to EMP weaponry, due to the amount of plating and extra circuitry put into the unit, and that it was a larger target, simply due to the close to 2-meter height it had.
